  1. Financial Turmoil In the Healthcare Industry Presented by: Larry Heydon, President/CEO of Johnson Memorial Health IOA Meeting-May 2, 2014 Version 2 -2/8/13

  2. Financial Turmoil In the Healthcare Industry Two Concerning Factors Simultaneously at Play- A “Double Whammy” Partial Healthcare Reform (ObamaCare) Volume Erosion (Consumerism/Redirection)

  3. 1. Partial Healthcare Reform “SOME” Targeted Objectives of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and Other Healthcare Reform Measures (Obamacare) • For US Citizens In General • Reduce Medicare spending (to protect program for future generations) • For Uninsured or Underinsured • Allow for universal health insurance coverage for all via Medicaid expansion at state level and sliding scale insurance exchanges (market plans) • For Insured (via private coverage or employer sponsored health plans) • Allow for transparency in pricing and reduced spending • Expand eligibility/reduce restrictions in coverage • Over time, allow for reduced costs per encounters • For Healthcare Providers • Allow for decrease in Medicare reimbursement • Reduce levels of “free” care via universal health insurance coverage • Emphasis on quality management In general, hospitals supported these objectives

  4.

  6. 2. Volume Erosion – “Consumerism”

  7. Specific Comments on What Hospitals are Doing • Increased competition against each other (to steal market share….friendly neighbors era is over) • Competitive pricing on key lab and radiology ancillary services to combat niche providers. • Short term participation in Exchange/Market Plans and other key narrow network plans to protect volume. • Long term creation of regional insurance network plans (ACOs and ACCs) to redirect volume, better manage care and save the middleman premium charged by insurers. • Short term fierce physician integration steps followed by long term re-evaluation of physician specialty needs and compensation…simply can not afford to carry too high of a level of subsidization for employed physicians. • Unavoidable focus on decreasing labor costs while still meeting regulatory requirements. • Potential elimination of non-core services lines that are subsidized…causing a movement towards specialty centers and a general decrease in access to care • Significant list of other expense control initiatives (supplies, outsourcing, etc) • Paradigm shift from fee for service (FFS) reimbursement to fixed capitated payment where lower volume equates to higher financial reward (less is better).

  8. A comment on healthcare professionals, current and future Thank You and Q&A
