Indeed, thanks for contributing that! You are correct to mention that Keystone is not a private insurance company, but Pennsylvania Medicaid.

They will find the lowest contracted rate of any negotiated provider agreement, and then try to tempt counselors into accepting these low rates in exchange for expedited payments. There is collusion among insurers to set unreasonably low rates, claiming they are based on reasonable & customary data. But ask them how they determine those rates, and you will find secrecy.
