Refer to the table below for problems 1-5. A hospital and a health plan are negotiating a contract for inpatient medical-surgical care. Calculate the amounts that would complete the table below.

Table: Per Member Per Month (PMPM) Rate

Annual

Frequency Unit Frequency Copay Copay Net

Category per 1,000 Cost PMPM per 1,000 Amount PMPM PMPM

Hospital inpatient

Medical surgical 400 $1,000 (Q1) 100 $150 (Q2) (Q3)

Use the information from questions 1 - 3 in solving questions 4 and 5. Assume that you are the hospital administrator and that the health plan has offered you a capitated contract at the PMPM rate that you computed in question 1. You believe, however, that you can control utilization better than is reflected in the table above. You believe the actual utilization will be 370 per 1,000 persons. The number of covered lives is 25,000. Your cost per case is $1,100. (For purposes of this problem, ignore marginal costs, contribution margins, etc.)

1. What is the PMPM rate?

2. What is the copay PMPM?

3. What is the NET PMPM?

4. What is the hospitals total revenue from this contract?

5. Would your hospital realize a profit on this contract?
