CASE STUDY SUMMARY
What changed for ApolloMD
Until payers were required to publish their prices, ApolloMD negotiated without knowing what insurers actually paid in the market. That slowed down contracting and made planning harder.
With PayerPrice, the team gained access to payer‑published, penny‑accurate rates nationwide. Negotiations moved faster, targets became clear, and pro formas were built on real market numbers — not best guesses.
Challenge
Negotiating with limited visibility meant always wondering if money was left on the table — especially in new markets.
Solution
PayerPrice’s transparency platform surfaces comprehensive, up‑to‑date negotiated rates so teams can set realistic targets and push back with data.
Result
Faster agreements with payers, clearer internal alignment, and stronger financial outcomes.
WHAT CUSTOMERS SAY
Key quotes from the case study
Chip Porter
VP of Managed Care, ApolloMD
“Benchmarking our rates used to be like reading the tea leaves... you really had no idea what others were getting paid.”
“With PayerPrice, ApolloMD's contracting strategy became so much more data-driven.”
“I don't have to take the payers' word for it when they say you're asking for rates that are unrealistic in this market. Now, I can say: 'That's not true!'”
“In one instance, we were prepared to accept sub-optimal rates base on flawed rate assumptions, and reversed course once we got access to PayerPrice.”
“We can now build pro formas based on attainable market rates. That clarity has helped our business development team pursue new markets confidently, knowing the financials are solid.”
“My relationship with PayerPrice is on a different level than typical vendors. Their leadership is intellectually interested in our challenges, and acts more like a trusted advisor than just a software and data supplier.”
