Minimizing the Costs and Consequences of Payor-Provider Dispute

Commercial litigation, with all of its attendant ills has become ever more expensive, time-consuming, and prevalent within the health care industry. Specifically, when it comes to disputes between payors and providers, the issues and relationships are particularly ill-suited to conventional litigation and the transactions frequently span years and involve hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars. To provide assistance in the approach of these costly disputes, Russell Beck, a partner in Foley’s Boston office, wrote an article, “Minimizing the Costs and Consequences of Payor-Provider Dispute,” which appeared on the front page of the July 13, 2007 issue of Healthcare Review.
