Preparing for price transparency
Build your strategy
- What is my current price position?
- Do I understand the payor/provider dynamics in the market?
- What is my brand and how can I leverage it?
- Establish a sustainable governance structure (e.g., Price Transparency Council) to ensure organizational alignment
- Understand your price and rate position relative to your market comparators
- Evaluate your brand identity and areas of strengths in the market
- Assess your market power as it relates to payor rates
Get compliant
- What are my confidentiality concerns? Do I have existing NDAs with certain payors?
- Are there areas with high transparency exposure that should be evaluated for an off-cycle price change?
- Evaluate services with high transparency risk (e.g., shoppable) and consider off-cycle price changes
- Communicate with payors what exactly you will be posting, especially payors with existing confidentiality agreements
- Build the required machine-readable files in formats ready for website upload
Get ready to talk about your pricing
- What is my marketing plan to ensure I am in control of the value narrative?
- How to I develop a communication strategy to effectively engage with patients and payors?
- Design a consumer-friendly patient engagement strategy that encourages a transparent patient provider dialogue around cost of care
- Expect rate pressure from payors, and develop a proactive communication strategy to facilitate favorable contract negotiations
- Be ready for media inquiries with a consistent, defensible message
