Payers and Providers Are at War, Atlantic Health System CEO Says

Brian Gragnolati, CEO of Atlantic Health System, said that "there's a war going on between providers and payers right now." In his view, payers “are doing everything they can” not to pay providers for the care they deliver. He said insurers have greatly increased their rate of denials and are extremely reluctant to take on risk in value-based contracts.
