PPO & networks / TERM EXPLAINED
Network Leasing
The arrangement by which one network grants another payor or entity access to participating providers or negotiated rates, subject to contract terms.
A dental practice example
A payor uses a leased network rather than contracting directly with every dentist.
Why it matters for reimbursement
Leasing can expand patient access but obscure the applicable fee and notification chain.
What to verify
Request downstream-access disclosures and compare actual repriced claims.
FROM DEFINITION TO DECISION
Turn reimbursement questions into evidence.
PayorMap helps dental groups connect disclosed negotiated rates, provider and network context, and contract details to meaningful benchmarking questions. Coverage and mapping confidence vary by payor and market.
