Cost Per Episode
•

ASC v. Hospital
– Clinical advancements and cost efficient protocols are generally portable
and can be applied in a hospital based setting.
– Hospitals conceptually recognize the need to adapt and share with
consumers lower unit costs
– Convincing Hospitals to pass cost savings to the consumer in terms of lower
pricing or out of pocket expenses remains a challenge

Partnering with Payers
“It’s like bringing Moneyball to health care”- Brett Morris, President of Health Net of Arizona

•Health Insurers recognize that narrow networks improve
cost and quality performance predictability
•Desirable networks include physicians who practice
evidence based medicine AND utilize cost effective
facilities
•The gateway to earning payment incentives for
physicians is quality, and the means for insurance
companies to fund the incentives is lower facility cost.
•Physicians practicing quality medicine in high cost
venues will end up in those network tiers that will require
the patient to pay an increased cost to access them
•Today, low costs and high value trump provider choice
