“We were staring down legislation that could’ve cost providers across the state nearly $100 million. Unlock jumped in quickly with the right strategy, messaging, and relationships to help stop it—and made sure we had a stronger seat at the table going forward.”
— Senior Executive, Regional Health System
“We hadn’t updated some of our major contracts in years, and with rising costs, we knew something had to change. Unlock was with us every step of the way, helping us secure a 3% rate increase — worth around $120 million — and set us up with a smarter plan for dealing with payors moving forward.”

Managed care consulting
The right strategy sets you up for success.
Contract with the right plans who agree to your success metrics.
Participate in the right networks, ACOs, or CINs.
Secure the right rates based on benchmarks and contract language based on operational challenges.
Use advanced analytics to ensure your contracts are performing the way you planned.
Contract strategy
When it comes to contract strategy, it's not payment rates vs. contract language — it's both.
Our contracting strategy is based on:
Market intelligence enhanced by payor and provider transparency files
Competitive position based on market share, brand, and benchmarks
Alignment to your organizational goals
Managed care benchmarking and analytics
Access national payor trends and data to understand your competitive position.
Our insights from thousands of payor interactions will help you:
Strengthen your negotiating position with external payor and competitor provider data
Maximize budget with data-driven targeting
Protect short and long-term revenue with benchmarks and a data driven tactical plan based on market data
Strategic communications
Your reputation is your most valuable asset — what are you doing to nurture it? And what happens if your negotiation goes public?
A strong strategic communications plan will help you:
Align internal resources as well as external audiences well before the negotiation starts
Navigate high-stakes moments with confidence from the entire team
Communicate effectively with internal and external audiences to achieve goals
Safeguard your brand reputation — and even improve it
Strategic planning and implementation
Build a strategy for scalable and sustainable growth. You may have already built a strategy — let's implement it and ensure it stays aligned across the organization.
Assess the real market opportunity and competitive position based on data and enable the tactical plan to achieve results
Review payor mix: commercial, government, worker’s comp, and more — and negotiate new contracts to improve your mix
Recommend plan participation, especially Medicare Advantage, and the type of participation: fee for service, value-based care, or risk
Develop and implement patient acquisition strategies aligned with your strategy and access, and availability
Change management
Develop and implement a plan for how your organization will evolve to meet the changing needs of your business.
A well-crafted strategy allows you to effectively navigate moments of change:
Improve company culture and attract talent based on your improved reputation
Optimize business practices with restructured governance, decision-making, and technology and tools
Plan and influence regulatory changes rather than waiting for them to occur
Enhance leadership skills and communication styles to improve organization and build talent pool for succession plans
Sustainable growth starts with the right strategy — and the right contracts to support that strategy.
