How the National Managed Care Contract helps physician advocates
The National Managed Care Contract (NMCC) database is a valuable tool for physicians advocates, which allows them to:
- research existing state managed care legislation and regulations from around the country
- stay abreast of emerging state and federal legislation and regulatory trends
- support legislative and regulatory managed care reform efforts
- develop language and principles for managed care regulation
- ensure managed care organizations’ contracts and business practices comply with state laws and regulations
- conduct advanced legal research and support litigation against inappropriate practices of managed care organizations
- access issue briefs that discuss key managed care contracting issues for physicians, such as medical necessity, contract termination and overpayment recovery efforts
- research AMA policy on specific managed care issues
