Capstone Member, Charles Ayscue, Chief Financial Officer of Mission Health System said “When we had a vacancy in our Managed Care Department, and we had a need to complete a contract negotiation in less than 120 days with one of our largest payers we called Grey Partners in. Their consultant listened to our needs and worked side by side with us in developing the right solution for our unique situation. They do a great job at understanding both the payers’ and providers’ needs, as well as playing a key role in contract negotiations. They bring a strategic approach to our business. Grey displayed their industry knowledge and negotiation skills that allowed us to achieve our revenue goals. It is refreshing to work with a team of professionals so dedicated to our success.”
