Comment on N.J. nurses vote to strike, reject hospital’s settlement

  Currently studying this. It depends on your payer mix. Medicare and Medicaid never negotiate. Insurers will negotiate reimbursement rate to docs/hospitals, depending on the situation. If one insurance company dominates the market, they won’t negotiate. Why would they? They insure 80% of a city, what can a hospital do? Refuse patients on that plan? Then they lose access to 80% of potential revenues
