Letter to HealthSpan customers brokers and TPAs_Nov 2012
Editor’s Note: Cost Plus Insurance (www.costplusinsurance.com) is gaining market acceptance by plan sponsors desparate to reign in ever increasing health care costs. Providers are guaranteed a profit margin in excess of their cost-to-charge ratios as reported to CMS. Employing a magic wand, balance billing issues are “poofed away”, and plan sponsors are legally immune.
PPO’s and their provider partners should take note that critical thinking is the capacity of a person to distinguish claims (I have great discounts!) from evidence (our costs keep going up year after year). Managed Care Under Siege
