About Us

Who We Are?
For the last 3 years National Healthcare Payer Networks ("NHPN") have assisted providers to reengineer their registration and managed care decision making to re-gain control of their revenue stream. Payers exploit providers' managed care contracts, event driven negotiations and limited resources to minimize their loss ratio. The real cost of this process to the provider is lower revenue, decreased cash flow, and loss of control over its finances.

NHPN is unique to the healthcare industry, in that it is both a revenue cycle consultant and a bill processing service. NHPN works as an out-partner with healthcare providers to maximize reimbursements from commercial payers and managed care organizations. Today, managed care and registration are event driven processes. Implementing NHPN's holistic approach throughout the revenue cycle; from managed care modeling, contracting, registration and fee negotiations to retrospective appeals allows NHPN solutions and focused resources to optimizing revenues.

Providers must gain control of the $65 Billion industry of repricing secondary / non-primary claims in order to increase revenues and improve the bottom line. NHPN is an organization dedicated solely to assist providers to change the paradigm on insurance companies and enabling the provider's to prospectively manage revenues and work flow efficiencies.

Based near Philadelphia, Pennsylvania the company takes the current providers retrospective process of balance billing and auditing and changes the paradigm to a prospective solution! Our extensive managed care expertise, highly experienced staff, and commitment to state-of-the-art solutions allows us to monetize accounts that many of our competitors cannot. NHPN assists providers in realizing appropriate levels of reimbursement for services rendered to patients. We are steadfastly committed to delivering the highest quality in all of our products and services
