  13. Agenda • Background on Disease Management Purchasing Consortium • Size and Growth • Pricing and Guarantee Trends • State of the Industry and Impediments to Future Growth • Specifically, employers

  14. State of the Industry • Regulatory Health: Good • Workable HIPAA accommodation • States moving from blocking to facilitating • Economic Health: Good • Companies creating value for shareholders (Accordant sale shows intrinsic value) • Financial Value-Added: Still a Question (clinical/satisfaction value-added not disputed) • Next page

  15. Vendor outcomes have been positive Vendors guarantee savings Few plans drop programs and many add them Financial outcomes metrics not valid They don’t always hit their guaranteed numbers and it’s difficult to reconcile Pressure from employers accounts for that Financial Value-Added: Supporting Arguments

  16. Vendor outcomes aren’t valid Vendors miss their numbers sometimes… …So we can’t be sure of savings No official standard ROI metrics yet Only if you don’t know how to contract with vendors Reinsurance has been purchased 30 times and there have only been 3 claims Fewer things are more certain than guaranteed savings—you can’t lose DM Purchasing Consortium metrics the de facto standard, used in most bids and contracts. Anyone can use them Financial Value-Added: Detractor Arguments

  17. Financial Value-Added • Strong enough evidence to indicate good financial ROI but not strong enough (for Consortium members at least) to do a fee bid—we still like vendors to take risk (though less risk than before) • The tradeoff is higher fees and the strong likelihood of a complex reconciliation (though there are ways to simplify this)

  18. Employer Impediments Same financial issues, plus: • Getting bad advice from consultants • Failure to understand DM-specific biostatistics needed for risk deals • Admission by one consultant at conference that they don’t know how to contract for DM • Using substandard vendors (easy to tell which) • Not knowing when to disintermediate and when to use health plan’s program • Not looking into option of combining with UM/claims-paying

  19. Conclusion • Don’t believe the detractors…but don’t disbelieve them either • DM SHOULD save money… • …but it is not a 100% certain layup so get significant risk in the deal • And make sure of your biostatistics and that your advisor is biostatistically savvy (ask them the same question as a test) and don’t pay them to “reinvent the wheel”—this assistance should cost low five figures
