Focus on low-cost options. • Compare price of PMB package to income levels of existing members and potential members of medical schemes. Impact of employer and per capita subsidies.
Cluster Analysis • Different clusters experience different benefit utilisation, costs and disease profiles. Provider behaviour differs by cluster, even within the same hospital facility. • Four distinct clusters: • High contains options with older, 'whiter' members with high utilisation; • Medium-older contains options with medium utilisation and older members; • Medium-younger contains options with medium utilisation and younger members; and • Low contains options with younger, 'blacker' members with low utilisation.
Cluster Analysis • Study contains more Low cluster beneficiaries than the industry. • For industry comparisons, useWeighted industry price. • This uses 50% of the costs of the Low cluster and 100% of the other clusters. • Low clusteris more relevant to the emerging low-cost option environment. • High cluster is used to give an upper limit to the PMB price.Would only be applicable to a few high utilisation options.
