Hospital Clinics
WHY DO HOGS LOSE MONEY:• Run as hospital department not separate entity• The hospitals decisions optimize earnings of health system vs. the group• Hospitals tend to have large risk management and administrative overhead• Hospitals strip the ancillaries from the clinic for better reimbursement• The benefits in hospital systems are generally higher• Hospital revenue cycle different than in groups, aren’t optimized for groups• Hospitals have many one time interactions. Groups recurring interactions• Healthcare is getting very complex providing a lot more business to
accountants and attorneys. Hospitals pay accordingly• Rates contracted for physicians are frequently contracted lower in order to
have hospital's receive reimbursement at a higher rate• Payer mix often changes when groups are brought into hospital ownership• Doctors don't have same interest in cost and quality control or accountability
in a hospital owned environment as when they own their own business• Physicians receive base salaries or insufficient incentives productivity drops• The groups size is often too small to focus on collections or credentialing
like one would in doctor owned business• The cost of failed or unwound acquisitions is costly to the system as a whole• Limited Physician Voice
