An insightful overview of health insurers and a guide to sustainability for provider organizations.

Physicians experience ongoing frustrations in their relationships with health plans.

- Tips for successful contracting strategies
- Alternative payment models and the promises of value-based care

With a career spanning five decades as a practicing pediatrician, chief operating officer of a medical group, chief medical officer of a hospital, and chief medical officer of a health plan, Dr. Lustick provides a straightforward guide to sustainability for provider organizations.
