The Basics of Managed Care
Our Focus
HMO style
The Basics of Managed Care (HMO model)
• Managed Care is NOT “new”….been around since the 1920’s; then became popular in the late ‘70s.
• Health Insurance Companies establish “networks” of providers
• Patient selects a “Health Plan”• Patient selects a “Primary Care Provider (PCP)”• All medical services approved through this PCP• Other rules: referrals, pre-cert needed for ER visits
and certain medical procedures• Tight controls over services
• There are also different “types” of HMOs:– Staff Models (physicians are salaried employees –
Humana)– Network Models (works with a variety of doctors
including individual and group practices)– Group Models (a payer that works with only one
multispecialty physician group)– IPA Models (payer with contractual relationships
with individual and group practices, as well as large Independent Physician Associations (IPAs))
The Basics of Managed Care (HMO model)
Medicaid Now
Taking You “Inside” the Payer World
State Contracts with Insurance Companies to Manage all aspects of
the Patient’s Experience
Working with Payers – the “new” Medicaid configuration
Review of Medicaid Changes to Managed Care
• Changing Patient Relationship– New: patient relationship is with the insurance company, not the
State
• Changing: Claims Processing done by Insurance Companies– New: State pays “lump sum” to insurance company (more on this
later)
• State keeps eligibility function and takes on oversight function– Day-to-day handled by insurance company

Managed Care Reimbursement: Capitation
What Does the Insurance Company Need What Does the Insurance Company Need to Do for this Advance Payment ?to Do for this Advance Payment ?
•Everything in their contract !!!!– Doctor Services– Hospital Services– Long Term Care Services– Ancillary Care Services– Anything/Everything Else
Managed Care Reimbursement: Capitation
And…..the Insurance Company does And…..the Insurance Company does NOT get 100% of the capitation because NOT get 100% of the capitation because
of something called a “Risk Pool”of something called a “Risk Pool”
Insurers will get paid 80% capitation with 20% withheld. In order to collect on the “withhold”, the insurance company needs to meet certain quality measures set by the State. If they meet the measures, they get the 20% back at the end of the year.
Capitation vs. Risk
RISK CONTRACTSRISK CONTRACTS
•This is what capitation is all about: RISK•If the insurance company controls the risk, they profit.•If the insurance company does not control the risk, they lose money.
