Q&A
Does NTENT negotiate contracted fee schedules for all members in Texas?
Not currently. In the North Texas Region, NTENT is a delegated entity that completes the credentialing and contracting for most of the major insurance carriers. With this includes contract language changes and some enhanced fee schedules, performance based reimbursements. In the other regions within NTENT we are working on offering the delegated benefits. NTENT’s goal is to become a clinically integrated network so that performance based reimbursement can be accomplished.
What benefits does NTENT offer to my practice?
NTENT can benefit your practice on both the revenue and cost side of the equation. On the revenue side, in the North Texas Region, NTENT offers a richer fee schedule with most major carriers and has plans to offer this benefit in other Texas regions in the future. On the cost side, NTENT can offer its members a number of exclusive benefits. NTENT members enjoy a significant reduction in liability insurance though TMLT. In addition, NTENT recently announced a partnership with Elite Hearing Network which offers your practice the best hearing aid cost in the industry. Lastly, NTENT has relationships with both legal and insurance firms to meet your practices needs and requirements at a reduced cost.
