Successful Vendor Contract Negotiation
Kate Resnevic, with Macdonals Resnevic
Long term care and senior housing providers maintain an array of contractual relationships with vendors and other parties. These include therapy companies, pharmacies, food service providers, medical directors, management companies, and consultants. Accurately assessing the parties relative bargaining power is critical for determining how hard to push to get what you want. Knowing key contract terms such as length, termination and renewal, allows you to see through the haze of legalese and identify what is most important. Finally, recognizing when a contract could violate fraud-prevention statutes, such as the Anti-Kickback Law, helps protect against costly federal audits and potential criminal and civil sanctions.
