By Dr. David E. Marcinko MBA
An MCO asked the Hospital of St. Mackenzie to provide coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) services, with catheterization, for its insured patients. The CFO at St. Mackenzie was pleased to review their request for proposal (RFP) as this was the exact type of patient needed to help offset costs of the new heart surgical services wing at the hospital.
Following some discussion, the MCO offered to pay the hospital $34,805 for a normal triple artery CABG without complications.
The CFO reviewed the standard treatment protocol and standard cost profile for the procedure. To her dismay, she discovered that the hospital’s cost would be $36,000 with a six-day average length-of-stay in the new wing.
