Start-Ups Rising
I do believe that start-up plans can succeed in the current market environment. Having said this, failures have been common. My favorite model for successful startups are new health plans serving Medicare Advantage members that are linked to health systems.
To be successful any health plan has to offer lower costs, higher perceived value and overcome distribution barriers. MA plans linked to health systems offer the possibility of lower costs through integrated care, a “halo of quality” from the associated health system and, since the MA product is sold to the individual market, is intrinsically beyond the confines of the employer-based market.
Realizing success depends on excellence in execution. Effective execution requires either the rethinking of the health system’s business model, or at least a commitment that the health plan should maintain operating its integrity. That there have been many failures among health system sponsored plans indicates that this is easier said than done.
