Demystify the contracting process with a practicing attorney’s checklist for conducting an effective and efficient contract review. Contracts are a normal part of any behavioral health organization – whether you want to participate in an insurance company's provider network, receive a government or foundation grant, affiliate with another health care provider or purchase a vendor's services.

Find out what you should look for.
