By Eric Bricker MD

A Commonwealth Fund Study Found Insurance Carrier Revenue from Medicare Advantage Plans Increase 5X More Than Revenue from Employer Sponsored Health Plans.

In Fact, Government Sources (Medicare Advantage, Medicaid Managed Care, ACA/Obamacare Plans) Make Up More Revenue ($213B) for the 5 Largest Insurance Carriers Than Revenue from Employers ($148B).

Government Payers Are the New Cash Cow for Health Insurance Companies.  
And so, Medicare-Advantage-for-All May Happen … Because Insurance Carriers WANT It to Happen.

PODCAST: Healthcare Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning and Natural Language Processing

PODCAST ON UnitedHeathcare Group Annual Report

Dr. Eric R. Bricker, Internist in Dallas, TX | US News Doctors

By Eric Bricker MD

An Annual Report from UnitedHealth Group Says United is Going Drive Growth by Using AI and Machine Learning to 1) Help High Risk Patients, 2) Assist Patients with Multiple Chronic Diseases, 3) Partner with Providers and 4) Be More Patient-Centric.

Some More Concrete Examples of How AI and Machine Learning Can Be Used in Healthcare and Health Insurance Are:

1) Better Underwriting of Risk

2) More Highly Focused Prior Authorization

3) Cherry-Pick the Individual Health Insurance Market

However, the Execution of AI’s and Machine Learning’s Finding Requires Human Behavior Modification–an Almost Impossible Task for Any Insurance Carrier to Accomplish Because of Their Low Credibility with Patients, Doctors and Nurses. Without Credibility and Trust, All the AI and Machine Learning in the World Will NOT Change People’s Behavior.

A General Electric Healthcare [Physician] Investor Update

Enabling precision health PODCAST

Hi David, and all ME-P Readers and Subscribers

We’re proud to be a part of improving patient lives globally with precision health – personalizing diagnoses and treatments in a smarter and more efficient way.

In case you missed it, last week GE Healthcare’s Pharmaceutical Diagnostics business (PDx) announced the acquisition of Zionexa, a leading innovator of in-vivo oncology and neurology biomarkers that help enable more personalized healthcare.

Healthcare will scale Zionexa’s FDA-approved PET imaging agent Cerianna, which is used as an adjunct to biopsy for the detection of estrogen receptor (ER) positive lesions to help inform treatment selection for patients with recurrent or metastatic breast cancer.

This is the essence of precision health, and our continued commitment to innovation. Read more about Zionexa here.

And, as a reminder, Carolina will be participating in a fireside chat on May 12 at 12:10pm EDT during the Goldman Sachs Industrials & Materials Conference. We hope you and all interested ME-P readers and subscribers will tune in.

USA v. CHINA: What a [Physician] Investor Should Do?

A PODCAST PRESENTATION ON THE C.C.P.

Vitaliy N. Katsenelson, CFA - YouTube

By Vitaliy Katsenelson, CFA

EDITOR’S NOTE: Over the last six months, my value investing management colleague Vitaliy Katsenelson has skewed his IMA’s portfolios more towards defense companies.

Dr. David Edward Marcinko MBA CMP®

WHY THE SHIFT?

The world appears less safe today than at any time since the Berlin Wall came down. Fast-forward two decades from then to now, and we find a drastically different world.

For example, China’s large Long March 5b rocket has fallen to Earth mostly as expected, much to the chagrin of critics. And some suggest the country is gearing up for “World War III” after Congress passed a multi-billion dollar defense Bill on Friday which President Donald Trump had previously vetoed.

LINK: https://nationalinterest.org/blog/reboot/us-military-worried-china-could-start-world-war-iii-180807

And so, in this podcast, Vitaliy explains his thoughts on the US, China, and the role defense companies play in his client portfolios.

PODCAST: Stock Market Impact on Health Care

The Dramatic Rise in the Stock Market Over the Last 10 Years Has Caused Institutional Investors Like Pension Funds to Re-balance to Private Equity

EP269: COVID-19—Prepping for the Next Wave: What Payers ...

By Eric Bricker MD

A Typical Pension Fund Portfolio Will Be 51% Bonds, 28% Equities, 6% Real Estate, 5% Private Equity, 4% Other and 6% Cash. As a Result of Rebalancing Money Out of Skyrocketing Equities, Private Equity Funding Has Doubled to Over $1.2 Trillion in the Last 10 Years.

Specifically in Healthcare, Private Equity Investment in Providers (i.e. Physician Groups, Surgery Centers, Imaging Centers, etc.) Doubled to $30 Billion in Just ONE YEAR. The Private Equity Investment on the Payor Side of Healthcare PALES in Comparison at Only $1 Billion. The Majority of These Private Equity Investments Plan on Making Money By INCREASING Healthcare Costs in a Fee-for-Service Payment Environment.

Healthcare Costs Don’t Rise By Accident. They Rise Because Specific People Make Specific Plans to Increase Costs to Earn a Return on Their Investment.

CEO ADMITS: Payments in Value-Based Contracts Were Actually Fee-For-Service Based

Fee-For-Service Physician Reimbursement Not to be Replaced Anytime Soon!

AN EXPOSE’

Image result for eric brixcker

By Eric Bricker MD

VALUE BASED CARE PROPONENTS?

Definition: Value-Based Care (VBC) is a health care delivery model under which providers — hospitals, labs, doctors, nurses and others — are paid based on the health outcomes of their patients and the quality of services rendered. Under some value-based contracts, providers share in financial risk with health insurance companies. In addition to negotiated payments, they can earn incentives for providing high-quality, efficient care.

VBC differs from the traditional fee-for-service model where providers are paid separately for each medical service. While quality care can be provided under both models, it’s the difference in how providers are paid, paired with the way patient care is managed, that provides the opportunity for health improvements and savings in a VBC environment.

The Chinese room argument holds that a digital computer executing a program cannot be shown to have a “mind”, “understanding” or “consciousness”, regardless of how intelligently or human-like the program may make the computer behave.

The argument was first presented by philosopher John Searle in his paper, “Minds, Brains, and Programs“, published in Behavioral and Brain Sciences in 1980. It has been widely discussed in the years since. The centerpiece of the argument is a thought experiment known as the Chinese room.

PODCAST ON “AGORIST” MARKET ECONOMICS

ON “Agorist” FREE-MARKET “Counter” ECONOMIC PRINCIPLES

Dr. David E. Marcinko MBA

“The goal of agorism is the agora. The society of the open marketplace as near to untainted by theft, assault, and fraud as can be humanly attained is as close to a free society as can be achieved. And a free society is the only one in which each and every one of us can satisfy his or her subjective values without crushing others’ values by violence and coercion.”

— Samuel Edward Konkin III

And so, colleague Peter Quinones Free Man Beyond The Wall – welcomes Sal Mayweather to the show. Known on Twitter as “Sal the Agorist,” he gained fame for posting liberty themed memes on Twitter. Sal started a podcast called “The Agora,” in which he concentrates his efforts on teaching the themes of “counter economics,” or Agorism.

Sal and Pete talk about ways that anyone can use agorist principles to subvert State control, and more importantly, starve them of their most powerful tool; our money and support.

My Interview with Danielle Town

My Interview with Danielle Town

By Vitaliy Katsenelson, CFA

Today I’d like to share with you an interview I did with my friend Danielle Town. Danielle is coauthor of Invested and runs the Rule #1 Finance blog with her father, Phil Town.

Danielle put me on the proverbial podcast couch; and though originally we were going to talk about investing, well, we talked about everything but investing. We ended up delving into many personal topics I rarely discuss. I went down memory lane about growing up in Soviet Russia, my family’s immigration to the US in 1991 and our first years in the US, my parents’ attitude towards money, budgeting, creativity, sleep, writing, a book I am working on, and more.

This interview ran so long it was broken up into two parts (Listen to Part 1 here and Part 2 here). I don’t think I could have done this interview talking to a stranger. It turned into a conversation between friends.

We decided that we are going to go back and talk about investing next time. Maybe we’ll do another interview when I see her in Switzerland in January, where we’ll both attend VALUEx Klosters.

PODCAST: Off Road Christmas Touring with Dr. Marcinko

City Lights in Baltimore, Maryland

By Dr. David Edward Marcinko; MBA, CMP™

[Editor-in-Chief]

I stopped off in Baltimore, Maryland during the recent holidays to visit current clients, prospect for new ones, do a little public speaking and promote our book [Business of Medical Practice, third edition].

Of course, we stopped by Johns Hopkins University where my sister worked, and promoted the Medical Executive-Post, as well.

Enter Christmas Street

And so, it was with great anticipation that we agreed with our host to visit Baltimore’s Christmas Street, in a section of the city known as Hampden. For 65 years, the residents of Baltimore’s 34th Street have drawn crowds from all over the world to view their display of Christmas lights.

Assessment

Crowd favorites are the motorized robot, the hubcap “Christmas tree”, and “snowmen” made from bicycle tires. The eaves of houses drip with strings of lights that illuminate Nativity scenes, while glowing candy canes light the sidewalks.

And, the hot chocolate and pizza, down the street at Angelo’s Restaurant, was especially delicious on any cold wintry night.

Some Value-Focused Investing Interviews and Podcasts

By Vitaliy Katsenelson CFA

Dear ME-P Readers,

You might want to listen to some great interviews by Roben on investment topics (his shows cover a wide variety of themes).

  1. An interview with an acquaintance of mine, Saurabh Madaan, who went from working for Google to Markel (which is often called the “Baby Berkshire Hathaway”).
  2. Speaking of Markel, here Roben interviews Tom Gayner, Markel’s CIO. I have had the privilege of sharing a stage with Tom once a year for the last seven years in Omaha at the YPO event.
  3. Here Roben interviews my friend Jim Chanos –brilliant short seller and incredible human being. 

I am just scratching the surface here. You can listen to hundreds of other shows with Roben here, or look for Full Disclosure with Roben Farzad on your podcast app – just be careful, they are very addicting.

1 – What quality means to us.
2 – Why we sold of ETFs and bought Treasuries
3 – How and why we are hedging our portfolios with options

The Future of Accountable Care [A Podcast]

Collaborative ACOs

By Caravan Health

More than 80 percent of all accountable care organizations are too small to succeed. Because of their size, ACOs experience savings and losses of 10 – 20 percent, simply due to statistical variation in health care spending.

During this presentation a panel of industry leaders explore the groundbreaking model of Collaborative ACOs. They discuss the future of ACOs, and how health care organizations – through a collaborative ACO – can avoid taking unnecessary risk, increase shared savings, and sustainably manage their population health.

The Opioid Crisis: Treating Addiction and Saving Lives

An Audio Webinar

By NIHCM

Transforming Health Care Through Evidence and Collaboration

An estimated 2.1 million Americans have an opioid use disorder, according to the latest national data. Opioid overdose takes the lives of 4.6 Americans every hour. With a crisis of this magnitude, it is easy to lose sight of the fact that effective, life-saving treatments are out there. Medication-assisted therapy and the opioid-reversing drug naloxone, for example, are two highly effective interventions for addiction and overdose, but access barriers persist.

In this part of our opioid webinar series, we explored ways to expand the use of evidence-based treatment, including:

  • Strategies to smooth access to key drug therapies through standing orders to dispense and removal of prior authorization requirements
  • Federal and private-sector initiatives to protect the patients from sub-standard or fraudulent addiction treatment
  • A multi-sector collaboration to adopt principles of care for substance abuse treatment and to help practitioners stay abreast of the evidence
  • Ideas for using pharmacy data to identify potential abuse and for deploying telehealth technology to improve access to treatment

Medical Workplace Violence Issues

[Its Growing Recognition and Impact]

*** DEM white shirt

 ***
Presented By
Professor David Edward Marcinko 
 February 22, 2017
***
Overview: Violence in hospitals usually results from patients, and occasionally family members, who feel frustrated, vulnerable, and out of control. Transporting patients, long waits for service, inadequate security, poor environmental design, and unrestricted movement of the public are associated with increased risk of assault in hospitals and may be significant factors in social services workplaces as well. A lack of staff training and the absence of violence prevention programming are also associated with the elevated risk of assault in hospitals. Although anyone working in a hospital may become a victim of violence, nurses and aides who have the most direct contact with patients are at higher risk.

Date : Wednesday, February 22, 2017 10:00 AM PST | 01:00 PM EST

Duration : 60 Minutes

Price : $139.00

Areas Covered in the Session:

  • Definition and Types of WPV
  • Contributing Factors and Risk Analysis
  • Effects and Outcomes
  • Financial and Economic Costs
  • Dealing with WPV
  • Prevention Plan Creation
  • The Haddon Matrix
  • Establishing WPV Prevention Guidelines

Who Will Benefit:

  • Physicians
  • Dentists
  • Podiatrists
  • Osteopaths
  • Pharmacists

THE MEDICAL MALPRACTICE TRIAL FROM THE DOCTOR’s POV

[From First Service – to Final Verdict and Emotional Relief]

*** DEM white shirt

***
Presented By
Professor David Edward Marcinko 
February 6, 2017
***

“Even among the sciences, medicine occupies a special position. Its practitioners come into direct and intimate contact with people in their daily lives; they are present at the critical transitional moments of existence.

For many people, they are the only contact with a world that otherwise stands at a forbidding distance.  Often in pain, fearful of death, the sick have a special thirst for reassurance and vulnerability to belief.”

[Source: Paul Starr – The Social Transformation of American Medicine, Basic Books].

***

When this trust is violated, whether rooted in factual substance or merely a conclusion lacking in reality, American jurisprudence offers several remedies with the core being civil litigation.

For example, we have personally witnessed a spectrum of reasons that prompts a patient to seek the counsel of an attorney. Whether it be an untoward result of treatment or surgery, an outstanding invoice being mailed to a less than happy patient who decides that the doctor did not measure up to expectations, a physician’s wife employed as the office manager charging a patient $50 to complete a medical leave authorization form, or simply a perceived lack of concern on the part of the doctor or personnel, patients can be motivated to seek redress outside the realm of the doctor’s office.

Compound any of the above scenarios with well-meaning friends and family and the proverbial prescription for litigation has been certified. Woven throughout this discourse will be suggestions that might obviate the foregoing. While it is not a panacea, nor a cure-all for medical negligence cases, we believe it to be an effective methodology for resolving those differences that see the growth of a medical malpractice lawsuit …. honest communications.
