The Changing Market

Over the past 6-8 months, there has been significant movement in the healthcare market, both nationally and locally

• Supreme Court upholds the Affordable Care Act

• Medicare Shared Savings Program launches, increasing proliferation of ACOs nationally and in North Carolina

• Market consolidation across providers, payers, and enablement companies continues to move forward

Summary of the Supreme Court Ruling on PPACA

• The individual mandate is unconstitutional

• The associated penalty for not buying insurance is constitutional

• The expansion of Medicaid is constitutional, but the threat to terminate existing Medicaid is not

The Supreme Court’s decision to uphold the ACA reinforces strategic activities underway across sectors of health care

Continued shift to retail and

consumerism

• Public exchanges set to open in 2014

• Private exchanges are taking root

• Employers will look to defined contribution models

Continued migration to value based models

• CMS funding and reimbursement reforms will continue to stimulate the shift to Fee for Value (FFV)

• The value-based trend has developed independent momentum with commercial insurers and employers

• Budgetary pressures will force governments to find innovative ways to control healthcare spending

Continued transformation of healthcare to an

information business

• PPACA (along with the earlier 2009 stimulus bill) have already funneled billions into EMRs; adoption rates are past a tipping point

• New business models built around information enablement services are emerging, and will fundamentally change the healthcare ecosystem

Through MSSP and private sector activity, the shift to Accountable Care arrangements is now in progress across the country

Within the North Carolina market, there are several organizations beginning the move to value

Simultaneously, market consolidation among providers, payers, and enablement companies has continued

Consolidation is a rampant trend across the healthcare marketplace• Reports of hospital acquisition of physicians come out almost daily• Hospital consolidation is also a growing trend• Payers and enablement companies are also becoming increasingly more involved in these transactions

• DaVita, a leading provider of kidney care services, acquired HealthCare Partners for $4.42B. 1MM patients under management

• WellPoint acquired CareMore, a senior care provider group, for ~$800MM

• WellPoint acquired Amerigroup Corp, a provider group focused on the Medicaid population, for $4.46B

• Highmark acquired West Penn Allegheny Health System for ~$400MM

• Independence Blue Cross, Highmark, Horizon, and Lumeris acquired NaviNet, the country’s largest real-time communication network for physicians, hospitals, and health insurers, for an undisclosed amount

• BCBS Michigan, WellPoint, and HCSC invested in Bloom Health to create a national private exchange

• Carolinas HealthCare System took over management of Moses Cone Health System for in a deal with undisclosed terms

The U.S. Health Care System is too expensive, wildly variable, with lower than desired quality and outcomes.

• There will be continued downward pressure on health care providers to control costs while improving quality of care provided.

• Fee-for-service reimbursement will be continually subject to reductions in fees, external efforts to control utilization, and scrutiny of care provided.

• Favorable reimbursement will be shifted to those providers able to demonstrate value through providing high quality care at the lowest cost.

Here is where we are headed:
