NOW YOU CAN ESTABLISH DEFENSIBLE CDM PRICES BASED ON COSTS, MARKETS & CONTRACTS WITH STRATEGIC PRICING MODULE

 
  With MedAssets Strategic Pricing Module you can establish and maintain your CDM prices based on actual costs and without spending hundreds of thousands on a cost accounting system. If you already have a cost accounting system that’s okay, with our Strategic Pricing Module you can upload the unit costs for each line item and proceed to establish cost based prices. Alternatively, you can base your prices on the competitive environment or payment optimization algorithms. If you want to utilize a hybrid approach (e.g. part cost based and part based on optimization) to restructuring your CDM you can do that too!

With our Strategic Pricing Module you can also calculate alternative pricing scenarios and model the net revenue financial impact prior to implementation. You can do all of this with the assurance that the prices established will be in compliance.
