Imagine you are a CFO for a community hospital that is preparing for contract negotiation with its largest nongovernmental payer; Imagine HealthCare. Imagine accounts for nearly 30% of all patient-care revenue at the Hospital, and this percentage is growing. What would you do if Imagine refused to increase inpatient payment rates in a manner more consistent with Medicare?

What are the important points to consider? How would you go about negotiating with Imagine?
