Contract Negotiation
Convert opportunity
into signed rate
increases.
Aroris carries the rate case from data to signed agreement, without dragging your team into the fight and without damaging the payer relationship. +15.5% average rate lift on signed negotiations.
A great rate case isn't a rate increase
Until someone signs the new rate,
you’re still being paid the old one.
Negotiation is the discipline of converting evidence into agreement, patiently, professionally, persistently.
Why we win
Specialty-aligned.
Data-backed. Signed.
- Specialty-aligned negotiators. Not generalists. We negotiate your specialty, in your market, with benchmark data on what payers actually pay practices like yours. So the ask is grounded in evidence, not a guess.
- Data-backed cases, not opinions. Every rate case rests on the evidence built during Contract Optimization. Payers respond to rigor, and rigor is what we bring.
- Disciplined case selection. We only open negotiations the data supports. Cases without code-level evidence behind them don't make it to the payer table, which is why the ones we open tend to land.
- Relationships preserved. Evidence and professionalism, not friction. Payers respond better to a documented case than to complaint, and your relationships strengthen as a result.
- Handoff to monitoring. The moment a rate is signed, Live Claims Monitoring begins watching every claim against the new agreement, so the negotiated rate is the rate you actually get paid.
How it works
Four steps from evidence to agreement.
Disciplined case selection. Persistent escalation. Signed agreements.
Build
The rate case from Optimization data and peer benchmarks.
Open
Negotiation with the payer, anchored on documented evidence.
Escalate
Through payer hierarchies until decision-makers respond.
Sign
New rate active, handed off to Live Claims Monitoring.
What's included
Contract Negotiation capabilities.
Three disciplines, one signed agreement.
Negotiated Rate Increases
Specialty-aligned negotiators carrying every rate case from data to signed agreement, backed by the Aroris benchmark dataset.
Hierarchical Escalation
We navigate payer organizations until decisions get made, through provider relations, network management, and beyond when needed.
Relationship Preservation
Long-term payer relationships strengthened, not strained. Data-backed rigor reads as professionalism, and payers reward it.
Disciplined case selection
We only open the cases the data tells us we'll win.
Aroris doesn’t bring a rate case to a payer without the evidence to win it. That’s not a marketing claim, it’s an operating rule, and it’s why the cases we open tend to land.
- Every case is benchmarked before it's opened
- Specialty-aligned negotiators, not generalists
- Disciplined case selection, only the data-supported ones reach the payer
- Persistent, professional, relationship-preserving
- Direct hand-off to Live Claims Monitoring after signing
Proven across practices
The numbers behind the negotiation.
Stop signing the rates payers gave you
Sign the rates the data says you’ve earned.
A short call. A look at your contracts. A clear view of what the next round of negotiations is worth, and how Aroris would carry it.
Frequently asked
Questions practices ask before they sign.
The hardest question in payer negotiation is when to stop talking and ask. We've answered it 100% of the time, and we'll show you, on your own contracts, before you commit to anything.
Will negotiating harder damage our payer relationships?
The opposite. Data-backed rate cases, built on evidence, presented professionally, persistent over time, strengthen relationships. Payers respond better to rigor than to complaint, and the rigor reads as professionalism on every side of the table.
Why are your win rates so high?
By being disciplined about which cases we open. Optimization tells us which contracts have the strongest evidence behind them, and we only open negotiations the data already supports. Cases without that evidence don't make it to the payer table.
How long does a negotiation take?
Most signed agreements land in 90-180 days from case opening. Some move faster; complex multi-payer engagements take longer. We escalate through payer hierarchies until decisions get made, patience is built into the model.
Which payers do you negotiate with?
Every major U.S. commercial payer, Medicare Advantage plans, and Medicaid managed care organizations. Our negotiators have direct relationships across every major payer in the country.
Can we negotiate without using Optimization first?
Possible but not how we like to work. Every rate case rests on benchmark evidence, and that evidence comes from Optimization. Skipping it weakens the case, and we don't open cases the data doesn't support.
The other two disciplines
Negotiation is the middle move.
Optimization finds the opportunity. Negotiation converts it. Live Claims Monitoring protects it.
Contract Optimization
Code-level benchmarking against the largest payer-contract dataset in the market. The evidence behind every rate case.
Live Claims Monitoring
Every claim measured against the negotiated rates. So payers actually pay them.
