Dustin Raney
Provider-Centric Payor Contracting & Healthcare Revenue Strategist
If you’re tired of watching insurance companies chip away at your margins while your providers do more and get paid less, it’s time you met Dustin Raney.
With over a decade in the healthcare trenches, Dustin doesn’t just “negotiate contracts” — he engineers payor agreements that protect, grow, and future-proof provider revenue. From hospitals to physician groups to specialty networks, he’s helped organizations unlock over $13 million in new revenue and operational gains — not by working harder, but by getting smarter with how they contract.
If your payor agreements aren’t actively building your bottom line, they’re bleeding you dry. Dustin Raney knows how to flip the script — securing better rates, implementing innovative value-based structures, and setting up providers to win no matter how the market shifts.
Dustin’s Career Highlights That Actually Matter:
- Negotiated multi‑state contracts that bolstered provider revenue streams and fostered durable, collaborative payer relationships.
- Secured substantial new revenue for critical‑access hospitals by implementing innovative reimbursement methodologies across a broad network.

Whether it’s PMPM (per member per month) pathways, risk-based reimbursement exhibits, shared surplus models, or carving out stop-loss thresholds that protect hospital systems — Dustin speaks the language of next-generation healthcare finance. And he translates it into real dollars on the balance sheet.
Dustin Raney isn’t just a negotiator. He’s the expert healthcare leaders call when they want to stop playing defense, start playing offense, and dominate their payor landscape — while keeping patients at the center of it all.
