The evolution of Reference Based Pricing (RBP) has seen significant progress in the past ten years. The use of RBP continues to make significant impact in reducing costs for self-insured medical plans. There is no other cost-containment solution we’ve seen in the past ten years that has reduced costs more.
RBP Features
- Self-insured employers typically see a reduction in overall medical claims cost of 20 to 30%.
- Plan members also benefit from savings as well.
- The plan should see additional savings from their Stop-loss premiums of 10 to 30% reduction on Spec premiums, and 5 to 10% on Aggregate premium, as compared to BUCA + PPOs.
- When these services are delivered on a PEPM basis, plans generally see at least a 45:1 return on their investment. Providers should also be fairly reimbursed in a timely manner.
