There are several key elements required in a health care provider’s contract with a managed care organization (MCO). A typical contract between an MCO and a physician contains definitions, terms, obligations, and other features of payer-provider agreements. Terms and clauses are not expected to be changed, while payment terms that can be renegotiated should be placed in appendices.
