The True Cost of Patient Leakage
- More than 200,000 physicians in the U.S. are now employees, and 3 in 4 medical residents will start their career as employees of a medical group, hospital or faculty. As healthcare organizations continue to consolidate and build larger networks, better collaboration between primary care and specialists is critical.
- With only 35% to 45% of referrals for adult inpatient care, as measured by revenue, go to a partner hospital. This results in over $90M dollars in revenue lost for every 100 employed physicians due to care teams not having accurate information about their specialty care network.
When patients receive out-of-network care:
- The ability to coordinate care is dramatically decreased, which in turn can undermine patient outcomes and population health management efforts.
- The network loses both clinical and financial control of the patient’s care. For example, an out-of-network physician may order tests and treatments that do not align with evidence-based best practices. Regardless, the parent network is still responsible for the cost. In this case, patient leakage can significantly increase the cost of care.
