Introducing ZiNG, from Zotec Partners: The Future of Fair Reimbursement

September 17, 2025

Providers today are facing a frustrating paradox: they’re working harder than ever, yet getting paid less. Productivity has climbed more than six percent year-over-year, but revenue per work RVU has dropped by seven percent since 2023. Between payer pushback, outdated contracts, and the complexity of the No Surprises Act (NSA), physicians are carrying the financial burden for systemic pressures outside their control.

This environment has made one thing clear: traditional approaches to managed care contract negotiation are no longer enough. Providers need technology that uncovers hidden opportunities, delivers actionable insights, and strengthens their negotiating position—all while ensuring patients remain protected.

That’s why Zotec has introduced ZiNG – the Zotec Intelligent Negotiation Guide. ZiNG is a breakthrough solution that combines data-driven contracting intelligence with Zotec’s industry-leading Independent Dispute Resolution (IDR) expertise, boasting a 96%+ win rate when Zotec manages IDR submissions.

“ZiNG represents the next evolution of how we advocate for providers,” said David J. Law, Chief Client Officer at Zotec Partners. “We’ve created a tool that empowers practices with undeniable data and proven dispute outcomes, giving them leverage they’ve never had before—without shifting the burden to patients.”

Why Providers Need ZiNG

• Revenue Protection: ZiNG benchmarks payer contracts against national and local medians, and against proven negotiated rates from market peers.
• Contract Leverage: By forecasting upside scenarios and providing transparent proof points, ZiNG gives practices the leverage they need in payer negotiations.
• Dispute Resolution: The NSA/IDR process is complex and high stakes. ZiNG simplifies it with Zotec’s managed service model and expert vendor partnerships.
• Operational Relief: ZiNG removes the administrative burden of payer disputes, freeing practice leaders and administrators to focus on patient care and operations.
• Patient Stability: With NSA-compliant strategies, providers achieve fair pay without passing costs to patients.

Using Data for Long-Term Predictability

For too long, providers have been at a disadvantage in payer negotiations. Payers hold vast amounts of data and use it to drive down reimbursement rates, leaving practices with little transparency or leverage. Negotiations often feel one-sided, with providers forced to accept rates that don’t reflect their value or the realities of rising costs.

ZiNG changes that dynamic. By arming providers with clear benchmarks, predictive models, and validated dispute outcomes, ZiNG ensures practices walk into negotiations with the same—or greater—data power than payers. It’s not just about winning disputes; it’s about creating long-term predictability and fairness in reimbursement.

Looking Ahead

ZiNG is more than just technology—it’s a promise. A promise that providers will be equipped with the tools, intelligence, and advocacy they need to be fairly reimbursed for the care they deliver.
