WHAT IS A STOCK MARKET “SPECIALIST”?
Courtesy: https://lnkd.in/eBf-4vY
CMP® CURRICULUM: https://lnkd.in/dbAF_iY
DEFINITION: A member of a securities exchange with the essential function of maintaining a fair and orderly market, insofar as reasonably practicable, in the stocks in which he is registered as a specialist. To do this, s/he must buy and sell for his own account and risk, to a reasonable degree, when there is a temporary disparity between supply and demand. In order to equalize trends, he must buy or sell counter to the direction of the market.
DHEF: https://lnkd.in/dqdbWM9
FOREWORD: https://lnkd.in/ecwZWxu
At all times the specialist must put his customer’s interest before his own. All specialists are registered with the exchange, but are not employees of that exchange. Your thoughts are appreciated.

Healthcare Transparency
By Health Capital Consultants, LLC
On October 29, 2020, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) released the Transparency in Coverage final rule. This long-anticipated final rule stems from President Donald Trump’s June 2019 executive order on “Improving Price and Quality Transparency” and builds upon the hospital Outpatient Prospective Payment System (OPPS) price transparency requirements released in November 2019.
These requirements came under fire in a lawsuit filed by the American Hospital Association (AHA), Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC), Children’s Hospital Association (CHA), and Federation of American Hospitals (FAH), against the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS); the requirements were upheld by the courts in June 2020 and the lawsuit is being appealed by the plaintiffs.

PART C
By John Kelly
***
Medicare Advantage Plans (Private Medicare) are sold on a county-by-county basis. Attached is the market penetration of MA (compared to traditional FFS Medicare) for every county in the USA.
***
Wonder why Medicare Advantage Premiums are going down (on average)? Because premiums are one of the measures by which the elderly decide what to purchase. Even though premiums are declining, not all MA plans are ‘cheaper’ than traditional FFS Medicare. Caveat Emptor.
It is also interesting to note that 3 carriers – Humana, UHC and BCBS Affiliates — cover 60% of all MA plan subscribers and use national networks of providers to offer broad service availability (compared to smaller plans, PSP’s and other narrow network options).
Medicare premiums per beneficiary typically exceed $10,000 per year. With effective ingenious use of benefit design, prior authorization, incentives, PBM contract rebates, etc., — there is a lot of money to be made in Medicare Advantage plans — accounting for the rapid growth in these plans over the last decade.

2021 Physician Fee Schedule & Quality Payment Program Proposed Rules Released
[By Health Capital Consultants]
***
On August 3, 2020, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) released two proposed payment rules for calendar year (CY) 2021: the Medicare Physician Fee Schedule (MPFS) and the Quality Payment Program (QPP). CMS included in the MPFS proposed rule adjustments to physician payment rates and an expansion of telemedicine services.
The proposed QPP rule, meanwhile, takes into account adjustments made for the COVID-19 public health emergency (PHE) and seeks to reduce unnecessary regulatory burden on providers by eliminating some requirements. These rules, which have garnered mixed reactions from stakeholders, are both open for comment until October 5, 2020. (Read more…)

Piedmont Pays $16 Million to Settle Kickback and Overbilling Allegations
By Health Capital Consultants, LLC
On June 25, 2020 Atlanta’s Piedmont Healthcare, Inc. agreed to pay $16 million to the federal government to resolve two False Claims Act (FCA) allegations of kickbacks and overbilling. The relator, a former Piedmont physician, alleged Stark Law and Anti-Kickback Statute (and subsequent FCA) violations of paying an amount that was above fair market value (FMV) and commercially unreasonable in Piedmont’s 2007 acquisition of Atlanta Cardiology Group (ACG).
Additionally, Piedmont’s payments settle allegations that the hospital admitted patients without medical necessity in order to bill Medicare and Medicaid for inpatient procedures that were recommended to be performed at the less expensive outpatient or observation settings. (Read more…)

Proceed with Caution
By Health Capital Consultants, LLC
As the coronavirus (COVID-19) global pandemic has wreaked havoc on the U.S. economy generally, and the healthcare industry specifically, the previously-active healthcare transactional environment has been largely stunted.
Despite (or perhaps because of) this economic turbulence, stakeholders expect that merger and acquisition (M&A) activity will soon resume with a vengeance. This potential opportunity, however, is not without pitfalls, due in part to the concern from stakeholders and regulators that well-capitalized entities may use this economic and public health crisis to prey on debilitated physician practices.

COVID-19 Financial Relief Available to Hospitals and Physicians
By Health Capital Consultants, LLC
The COVID-19 global pandemic has brought a time of grave uncertainty for U.S. healthcare and the greater economy.
While the focus of healthcare providers is, appropriately, on the access and delivery of care to those impacted by the COVID-19 outbreak, there are many providers who will require financial resources to persevere during a time when all sectors of the U.S economy are being significantly impacted.
The federal government has announced a myriad of programs in the form of grants and loans to reimburse hospitals and physicians for some expenses and loss of revenue. (Read more…)

How Will COVID-19 Change Healthcare Delivery?
By Health Capital Consultants, LLC
Spurred by how unprepared the American healthcare system was for a pandemic, the current COVID-19 emergency may present the conditions necessary to commence a healthcare delivery model paradigm shift.
In response to the public health emergency, the federal government, which has a record of reducing regulatory “burdens” under the Trump Administration, has taken aggressive actions to create regulatory flexibilities for healthcare providers and suppliers.
At least some of the various actions taken to reduce provider burden as they treat COVID-19 patients are likely to stay intact following the end of this pandemic, potentially revising the fundamental tenets of U.S. healthcare delivery. (Read more…)

Human Health Behavior and COVID-19 Thoughts
Courtesy: www.CertifiedMedicalPlanner.org
Here are 3 theories and 1 “rule” for the healthcare industrial complex that may help explain how the sector may not work correctly; from trauma, to epidemiology and to Corona; all the time.
1 – Berkson’s Paradox: Strong correlations can fall apart when combined with a larger population.
For example, among motorcycle crash victims wearing helmets are more likely to be seriously injured than those not wearing helmets. But, that’s because most crash victims saved by helmets did not need to become hospital patients, and those without helmets are more likely to die before becoming a hospital patient.
2 – Group Attribution Error: Incorrectly assuming that the views of a group member, like a physician, reflect those of the whole group in a different discipline.
3 – Baader-Meinhof Phenomenon: Noticing an idea or word every where you look as soon as it’s brought to your attention in a way that makes you overestimate its prevalence.
***

The 90-9-1 Rule: In social media networks, 90% of users just read content, 9% of users contribute a little content, and 1% of users contribute almost all the content.
QUERY: Does Social Media really give a false impression of what ideas are popular or “average.”
THINK: Corona Virus?

A Generic Obscure Measure
By Dr. David E. Marcinko MBA
http://www.CertifiedMedicalPlanner.org
The quality-adjusted life year or quality-adjusted life-year (QALY) is a generic measure of disease burden, including both the quality and the quantity of life lived.
It is used in economic evaluation to assess the value for money of medical interventions. One QALY equates to one year in perfect health. If an individual’s health is below this maximum, QALYs are accrued at a rate of less than 1 per year.

***
***
ASSESSMENT: To be dead is associated with 0 QALYs. QALYs can be used to inform personal decisions, to evaluate programs, and to set priorities for future programs

YES – THE FREE MARKET CAN PROVIDE AFFORDABLE SURGICAL CARE
By Dr. David E. Marcinko MBA CMP®
Certified Medical Planner®: https://lnkd.in/eBf-4vY
I was fascinated with this podcast because I too co-founded an ambulatory surgery center [ASC] two decades ago. It was recorded by my neighbor and Austrian economist Peter Raymond over at “The Free Man Beyond the Wall” website.
***
***
Now, colleague Dr. Keith Smith who started the Surgery Center of Oklahoma with the intention of providing surgical options outside of the monopolistic insurance cartel, opines for us all. LINK: https://lnkd.in/edY9swH
As an example, the SSofOK lists prices on their website that do not change. Dr Keith explains his philosophy and gives us a behind the scenes look into the broken health care system. This is the kind of basic episode anyone can listen to in order to help understand what a free market ASC can really provide.

WHAT IS A PHYSICIAN OWNED DISTRIBUTORSHIP [P.O.D]?
By Dr. David E. Marcinko MBA
[More on Medical Ethics]
Back in the day, when I was a young surgeon, I was approached by a group of older colleagues to join a POD. I was flattered, of course. Playing with the “big boys.” But, after leaning what it was, I declined. Although perhaps technically legal, it just felt creepy to me although I sure needed the money at the time.
***
***
DEFINITION: A POD is a group of doctors, usually surgeons, who agree to purchase implanted devices such as joint prostheses or orthopedic hardware (screws, plates and rods), etc. Physicians profit financially by participating in the sale of devices intended for their own patients; thus creating the opportunity for them to profit from self-referrals.

Funny that cosmetic services (generally not a covered procedure) falls below CPI and yet the healthcare that generally is covered by payers increases at an accelerated rate.
Do cosmetic providers have a harder time making ends meet? Perhaps the administrative cost of compliance is the real driver here. Less payer involvement, less cost?
Hmmm!
