Continuous discount agreements: Consider these three areas before signing on
If you treat plan members out of network, a repricer (or other agent of a payer) may have already asked you to sign an agreement that gives the repricer a set discount off of your billed charges on an ongoing basis.
Although repricers have typically asked for a one-time discount for a plan member treated out of network, more repricers are offering an ongoing discount agreement, which is called a continuous discount agreement (CDA).
