Healthcare Leaders: Did you know that there are 317,987 health plans in the US market?
Did you know that there are 599,204 unique codes to describe healthcare products and services? And were you aware that each code requires each individual healthcare plan to establish a pricing model for the service with the provider?
Did you know that corporate insurers are seizing market share from their weaker competitors, and did you know that the percentage of adults using telehealth dropped from 37% in 2021 to 30% in 2022?*
Macro healthcare issues trickle down into the physician-provider experience, impacting provider autonomy, mastery, and purpose. Your most valuable resource.
The poet William Stafford says,
“I call it cruel and maybe the root of all cruelty
to know what occurs but not recognize the fact.”
In other words, your vision may be myopic, and it may be costing you.
Too busy to plow through all the statistics and policy articles? My clients are.
There are many sources of consolidated information out there. My favorite is Paul Keckley’s The Keckley Report*, a weekly newsletter from one of the industry’s renowned experts.
Stafford also says,
“. . . as elephants parade holding each elephant’s tail,
but if one wanders the circus won’t find the park . . .”
Make sure you’re not simply following the tail in front of you.
Get informed.
Up your game.
