The Health Plans’ Delegated Model Dilemma
The Health Plans’ Delegated Model Dilemma
•Most non-Kaiser plans contract with same physician groups
•No plan > 25% of a physician group’s revenue
•Quality improvement at the physician group level benefits many plans
•Therefore, competition works against an individual plan’s incentive to improve the infrastructure of its physician groups
