Listening In (With Permission): Conversations About Today's Pressing Health Care Topics

Julianne calls up Doug Aldeen, ESQ an ERISA Healthcare Attorney and General Counsel to discuss the Reference Based Pricing (RBP) landscape, specifically how RBP has evolved over time. Doug recounts his experience defending RBP companies from lawsuits and saw the evolution from uniform level reimbursement to variation depending on the market. "Ultimately, the reason these facilities were coming after the RBP companies is it's a market threat...you're now a price maker, instead of a price taker."
