ABSTRACT

A continuous-discount arrangement (CDA) creates an ongoing contractual relationship between the provider and a noncontract payer or repricer and saves both parties from negotiating a discount each time the provider sees a plan member out of network. If you treat plan members out of network, a repricer (or other agent of a payer) may have already asked you to sign an agreement that gives the repricer a set discount off of your billed charges on an ongoing basis.
