In our latest blog article, 'The Changing Face of Anesthesia Employment Models' we discuss how hospitals have traditionally outsourced their anesthesia services to independent groups and are now looking to make a change. Given the financial pressures placed on hospitals and the recent FTC ruling on banning non-compete clauses, many hospitals are now looking to employ their anesthesiologist providers, providing stronger partnerships, aligned financial incentives and improved patient care. Hospitals that have employed their anesthesia providers are realizing lower overall costs with higher surgical performance and provider satisfaction.

Many #hospitals and #healthsystems face difficulties in managing rising anesthesia costs and securing #anesthesia coverage to meet their surgical demands. These challenges are largely due to the national shortage of anesthesia providers. In our collaborations with hospitals and health systems across the country, we have identified approaches to establishing the appropriate clinical and business structures that enable providers to enhance the overall financial performance of their hospital’s surgical services. At Lumina Health Partners, we developed an economic model for anesthesia services that focuses on four key components: - Market rate reimbursement – optimal contracted anesthesia rates are set at the 75th percentile of the local/regional market - Revenue cycle performance – revenue cycle activities produce a 95 percent net collection rate, along with a denial rate below five percent - Anesthesia perioperative performance – Anesthesia providers produce above the 90th percentile and achieve “better-performing” surgical services outcomes - Incentive based stipend –Hospital subsidies support optimal coverage and retain high-performing anesthesia leaders Through collaboration between hospital leadership and anesthesia providers, staffing challenges can be minimized, financial performance can be enhanced, and patients' surgical needs can be effectively addressed. If your organization is facing any of these anesthesia challenges, schedule a call with our anesthesia consultants to explore how we can best support you and your organization. A brief consultation could offer the greatest return on investment for your organization! #luminahp, #anesthesia, #ASA, #HFMA, #AANA, #hospitalleadership

Many provider organizations feel like they are at a big disadvantage when negotiating #managedcare contracts with payers. The keys to an important contract negotiation are to have a payer strategy that ensures the initial “ask” is fair, fee schedules supporting the evolving clinical services offered by the provider, and the administrative terms remaining current and manageable. As a start, many provider organizations must understand where their fee structure is compared to commercial rates in their market. Going through a market rate analysis helps inform leaders on their market pricing model and also its impact on the employers in the communities they serve. In our next episode of Value-Based Care Insights, I am joined by Damon Morse where we discuss the importance of conducting a market rate analysis in preparation for contract negotiations with payers. We also discuss how this information will benefit a provider’s payer strategy, market pricing model and place the providers on a more level playing field with payers. Please listen in to this great episode and send your thoughts. https://hubs.li/Q02yyrbt0 #Luminahp, #HFMA, #managedcare, #riskbasedcontact, #hospitalleaders, #VBCInsights
