Identifying MSA costs drivers early in the claims cycle is the important first step in reducing MSA costs. From there, building proactive cost-mitigation strategies considering CMS trends is a vital next step to actually reducing reduce MSA allocations. The concepts are simple - but far too often these critical points are missed leading to spiraling costs, high MSA allocations, and unsettled claims.
