  1. Pratter, Inc. Bill Hennessey, MD, CEO bill.hennessey@pratter.us Health Benefit Innovator Award Winner

  2. The Pratter Effect • Help millions save billions on medical care • Create Medical Cost Transparency to encourage competition and generate a win-win for employers and their employees. • Allow employers to control and manage their healthcare costs via web-based solutions designed for ease-of-use. • Medical cost transparency definition: know charge (retail rate) and known claim allowable (“discount” real price paid) before the time of service

  3. The Problem: Employers Cannot Manage Health Costs • Real consumerism does not exist resulting in advantage to the carriers and hospitals. • In-network pricing for the same care item has HUGEpricing variation. • Employees, aka health care consumers, don’t care or, aren’t incentivized to care, about helping the company manage its medical care costs. • Employers pay medical bills blindly with no ability to manage costs proactively. TM

  4. Pratter 4 Question Value Prop • Do you audit your medical claims? • Do you know your top 20 medical cost drivers by medical test name? • Have you itemized your top 20 medical cost drivers? • Can you quantify a medical cost savings solution you implemented? • Bonus question: If not, why not? TM

  5. Pratter’s Medical Cost Transparency TM • Known pricing creates smart shopping. • Known pricing creates competition. And with competition, the consumer wins every time with lower prices. • You manage what we measure. • An itemized medical bill for employers to review. • ERISA health benefit fiduciary compliance.

  6. The Other Guys(not Pratter) TM • Misaligned financial incentives. • Talk discounts, points and benchmarks – all smoke and mirror terms. Let’s talk real money numbers. • Do not know what type of medical claims data is stored or how to access it. • Never address ERISA health benefit fiduciary. • Never address specifically why the health plan cost goes up each year.

  7. Pratter’s Focus: Outpatient Care • 27 to 64 year olds receive mostly outpatient care • Outpatient care = Routine care = Commodity care • Outpatient care: • Blood work • Imaging • Surgery center procedures, eg upper GI scope • Urgent center care TM

  8. 5 Places to Purchase Healthcare TM • Hospitals • Independent Surgery Centers • Freestanding MRI/CT centers • Independent blood work centers • Private practice doctors Our focus is on substantially reducing the hospital facility fees that drive medical costs up faster than company or salary growth. *listed in order from most to least expensive

  9. Medical Facility Fee Example“Lumbar MRI” TM Facility Monroeville Imaging Center Relevant Healthcare Jefferson MRI UPMC Mercy UPMC Magee Presby Range of Fees Charged $ 350.00 $ 475.00 $ 1,157.00 $ 2,734.00 $ 4,413.00

  10. GOAL: Known Pricing and Money Incentives TM • Provide known pricing for common procedures, just like the rest of your life

  11. The Cause: Secret Pricing • 33% of a company’s medical spend can be saved on routine care. • 500% to 1,000% - the typical pricing variation of in-network cost drivers at the claim allowable. • Top 10 routine care items make up 40% to 50% of the routine medical spend, yet employers don’t know these cost drivers by test name to create focused solutions. • Routine care does not have itemized pricing, just like everything else we purchase. • Carriers make more when employees spend more; misaligned financial incentives as carriers keep 20% of revenue as profit per ACA. TM

  12. The Pratter Solution TM • Use self-insured employers’ real paid medical bills. • The Pratter Report. Our MCSA (medical cost savings analysis) prepared by the Pratter team of analysts.
