• Medicare expenditures were increasing by an average of 17% annually.
• By the early/mid eighties, Medicare expenses had grown so rapidly that there was significant pressure in Congress to reduce costs

Community Laboratory NetworksCommunity Laboratory Networks
• Alliances between community laboratories to provide broad geographic coverage
• Network activities include securing payer contracts and test sharing
• Present ‘Value’ that is meaningful to the Plans – Hospital lab networks under single contracts
– Make it easy for physicians and patients to use the hospital lab: • Reasonable fees
• Coherent billing

Why Establish a Lab Network?Why Establish a Lab Network?
• Increases the ‘value’ of hospital lab outreach
– Regional foot print vs. single entity
• Reduces the fragmentation represented by individual hospitals and therefore reduces health plan leverage
• Reduce plan steerage and hurdles to contract participation; evens the competitive field
Networks increase the value of the hospital lab to health plans, employer groups and patients

Key Attributes Value-Based Purchasing
Bundled Payments
Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs)
Definition
Pay-for-performance program differentially rewards or punishes hospitals (and likely ASCs and physicians in coming years) based on performance against predefined process and outcomes performance measures
Purchaser disburses single payment to cover certain combination of hospital, physician, post-acute, or other services performed during an inpatient stay or across an episode of care; providers propose discounts, can gain share on any money saved
Network of providers collectively accountable for the total cost and quality of care for a population of patients; ACOs are reimbursed through total cost payment structures, such as the shared savings model or capitation
Purpose
Create material link between reimbursement and clinical quality, patient satisfaction scores
Incent multiple types of providers to coordinate care, reduce expenses associated with care episodes
Reward providers for reducing total cost of care for patients through prevention, disease management, coordination

• Medicaid and Basic Health Plan option – Major shift to commercial plan administration
– Nearly 100% HMO coverage
– Price will be primary driver
• Commercial Insurance – ESI shift: Employees will seek low cost plans (>47% HMO)
– Shift to “Narrow Networks”
– Remaining ESI plans will require greater differentiation in products/services Lab competition will require BOTH price and service

• Increased acceptance by employer groups: – Currently >20% (16% in 2010) – Workers with high deductible plans ~20% ( up from
4% in 2006)
• Benefit cost for narrow networks must be 20-25% lower than open access products…therefore reimbursement will be lower
• New products are being branded as “accountable care partnerships” or as “high performance networks”

• Cost shifting
– High deductibles and coinsurance (OOP expense)

– Uniform fee schedule for hospital testing
– “Godfather-like offer that they can’t refuse.”
– Rate cuts of 50-80%
– “…a test that may have cost $400 at an out-of-network laboratory would cost as little as $45 for a patient…reducing their out-of pocket costs from as much as $120 to $4.50.”

Impact of ConsumerismImpact of Consumerism: : ((OOP) costsOOP) costs
• Deductibles:
– Majority of medium to small employer-sponsored plans carry a deductible of >$1000 per enrollee
– High deductible plan product utilization is on the rise
• Co-pays/Coinsurance
– In network: 20% is common
– Additional co-pay for hospital outpatient services
• OON Benefits
– Cost of premium is reduced for plans with little to no OON benefit
Bottom Line: Costs will drive consumers to low cost providers

Hospital Labs can impact patient outcomes by:Hospital Labs can impact patient outcomes by:
• Promote most appropriate test selection options.
• Add applicable interpretations that help avoid adverse events.
• Point to the most appropriate treatment protocol.
• Increase speed and accuracy of correct diagnoses
• Monitor patient health to prevent disease
• Provide rapid turnaround times to reduce hospital LOS

Hospital Lab Outreach: Hospital Lab Outreach: What Are the Challenges?What Are the Challenges?
TODAY’S CHALLENGES • Exclusion from insurer/employer benefit products • Health plan steerage; that is, payers discourage patients from using the
hospital lab citing excessive out of pocket costs • Rapid Expansion of Narrow Networks
– 70% Narrow or Ultra-Narrow • Exclusion from a Narrow Network • Increasing consumer responsibility for cost
– Deductables, Co-Pay, Co-Insurance • Traditional Medicare shifting to Medicare Advantage • “Quality” incentives to drive provider behavior
TOMORROW’S CHALLENGES • Exclusion from capitated networks that are value-based for
reimbursement vs. FFS payments
Does your system have a strategy for tomorrow?

The Strategic Value of Networks The Strategic Value of Networks
Today and into the FutureToday and into the Future
• Laboratory networks increase the value of the hospital laboratories to health plans, employer groups and patients – We must educate the stakeholders on our true value
• Especially true for ACO participation
• Networks help reduce health plan steerage and remove hurdles to contract participation for hospitals; evens the competitive field – Gains access to covered lives which is essential for patient centered
care across the healthcare continuum (PHM)
• Laboratory networks ease the transition from a volume-based (price) to a value-based payer environment. – Secure relationships with patients, providers and payers today – Leverage utilization management protocols and demonstrate savings
today – Establish experience, reputation and processes for success in the
future

Value Value of of Networks to Health PlansNetworks to Health Plans • No interference to national contracts • Networks reduce fragmentation represented by individual
hospitals – Changes view of laboratory from single laboratory outreach entity to
regional footprint
• Reduces plan leakage attributable to regional, non-contracted labs
• Decreases the cost of hospital-based testing services; move from % charges to ancillary fee schedule for Outreach patients
• Introduces utilization management practices across a broad network of participating labs
• Increases member access to preferred in-network services

Who Can Network?Who Can Network?
• Start locally, build regionally-
– A network can start with as little as 2 community hospital systems
• Specialized hospitals (e.g. children’s) can participate-
– The core of the network is usually comprised of ‘routine’ testing laboratories
• It is okay to compete! (within the network)
