NIATx-SI: Business Practices for the Future Learning Collaborative

Project Description

The NIATx Fee-for-Service Capacity Pyramid

Fee-for-Service Pyramid

The collaborative will consist of six conveners—a state, county, provider association, or intermediary—who must recruit and support 10 to 12 local non-profit treatment providers.

Each of the six teams will be assigned to one of two levels in the NIATx Fee-for-Service Capacity Pyramid:

  • Level 1: Billing system design and implementation, or
  • Level 2: Improve billing process to increase collections

Ideally each provider in a regional team will fit in the same level.

Pending funding, NIATx will offer another learning collaborative focused on Level 3: Contracting with Third Party Payers, later in 2011.
