Guest guest Posted February 3, 2012 Report Share Posted February 3, 2012 After looking at ATA's contract, I am amazed there are actually people that take that program. The reimbursement seems ridiculous. If any of you take it, how do you do that and operate? Curious. Thanks! Heidi Billing Manager Lees Summit, MO RE: Humana Going in network is a tough decision as well. In my discussions they only ffer 70% of Medicare and have remained firm on the pricing. It's not a ominate payer in our area so we have avoided enrolling. But, after looking at it, when you break down other agreements in comparison hey are similar.

Guest guest Posted February 3, 2012 Report Share Posted February 3, 2012 Just got out of it. A little over 2 years ago Aetna sent a cancellation notice to all PT/OT providers in North Texas directing them to ATA (Doral). There was no other choice if you wanted to see their members in network at that time. We had always been direct with Aetna, we opened in 88.
