Why is there a continuous stream of healthcare providers threatening to or becoming out of network for various managed care organizations because they cannot come to an agreement on healthcare prices?
I suspect it's because the insurance companies are not in control. The idea would be to drive up costs when they profit on both sides (example: United and OptumRx) and push down reimbursements elsewhere.
