Prospective Trends in Healthcare • Healthcare Providers Need to Consider Strategies That Increase Efficiency • Forces in the Healthcare Market Will Make It Very Difficult for Status Quo Providers to Compete Effectively • Healthcare Providers Will Need to Develop Their Patient Management Processes as if They Are Being Paid Under Capitation
Health Care Delivery Systems • Independent Practice Associations (IPAs) • Physician Practice Management Companies (PPMCs) • Group Practice Without Walls • Medical Group Practice • Physician Hospital Organizations (PHOs) • Medical Service Organization (MSOs) • Foundation Model
Independent Practice Associations • Umbrella Contracting Entity for Multi-Specialty or Single Specialty Physicians • Individual Physicians Reimbursed by the IPA • Composed of Independent Physicians With Only Central Contracting Being Common • Not Necessarily a Lean Mean Fighting Machine • Some States will Regulate Like MCOs
Physician Practice Management Companies • Tend to Be Venture Capitalized Public Companies • Last Two Years Have Not Been Kind to PPMCs • Continue to Be a Force in Healthcare Market • Approximately 27 Publicly Traded PPMCs • Combined Equity Value Declined 49.3% During 1998 • Several High Profile Collapses
PPMCs Have Experienced Some Recent Equity Improvement • At the End of 1998, the Aggregate Stock Value of PPMCs is Up 12.8% Over the Last Six Months of 1998. • S&P Rose 7.5% During the Same Period. • Total Capitalization of PPMCs was Estimated at Approximately $4.8 Billion. • Some of the Largest PPMCs Continue to Have Difficulties. • Medpartners • FPA Medical Management
Group Practice Without Walls • Independent Physicians That Aggregate Their Practices Into a Single Legal Entity • Legal Merging of All Assets of the Individual Physicians • Individual Physician Incomes are Affected by the Performance of the GPWW as a Whole • Independent Nature of Practices Within GPWW Means Independent Action • Difficult to Align Incentives • Weak Capitalization
Medical Group Practice Model • Like the GPWW, but Physicians Become a Fully Integrated Medical Group • No Multi-Site Independent Practice Groups • Tends to be More Integrated Than a GPWW • Be Wary of Top Heavy Groups
Physician Hospital Organizations • Joint Hospital and Physician Entity That is Primarily a Negotiating Vehicle • Integration Tends to Be Weak • Trial Courtship Before a Serious Relationship • Open vs. Closed PHOs • MCOs tend to View PHOs as Ugly Cousins
Medical Service Organizations • Service Bureau and Contracting Entity for Physicians • Physicians Remain in Independent Practice • MSO may purchase all or Some of the Physician’s Assets • Also Viewed as an Ugly Cousin by MCOs • Purpose Tends to Be Centralized Common Services
Foundation Model • Generally Created as a Not-For-Profit Organization Which Purchases Physician’s Practices • Must Provide a Substantial Community Value/Benefit • Not Generally Formed With an Eye Towards Planned Resources • Loose Control Over Physician Behavior
Physician Compensation • Fee-For-Service • Capitation • Withholds and Risk/Bonus Provisions • Carve-Outs • PCP vs. Specialist vs. Hospital • Individual vs. Pooled Risk • Affecting Physician Behavior • Product
Reimbursement is Key Underwriting Factor • Usual and Customary Fees • FFS and Discounts • Relative Value Schedules (RVS) • Capitation • Diagnosis-Related Groups (DRGs) • Per Diems (With and Without Outliers) • Case Rates • Ambulatory Patient Groups (APGs)
Example of Effect of Reimbursement on CPDs • Prudential • The Travelers • NYL Care
Example of Effect of Reimbursement on CPDs • Prudential • The Travelers • NYL Care
Case Study - Scope of Engagement • Feasibility of Offering Stop-Loss Coverage to PCPs for Institutional Services • 12 PCP Care Councils (Practice Groups) • $100,000 Excess Maintained by MGA • Care Councils Going to Full Risk, Want Lower Excess Limits
Developing a Claims Probability Distribution • Combined Individual Distributions of Historic Claims • Trended Historic Costs by Assumed Incurred Trend • Assumed a Piece-Wise Lognormal Distribution Developed by Minimum Distance Method
