In an environment of rapid change, it’s critical you know what operational metrics deserve your attention — and what will only cause "analysis paralysis." Join senior consultants from industry leader Gorman Health Group for a half-day seminar that presents solutions to the key financial challenges that plans are currently facing.
1:00pm - 5:00pm

The complexities of the Medicare managed care program and the numerous variables that can affect plan financial performance make it challenging for most organizations to get a clear picture of how changes to their plan (such as benefit design, enrollment numbers, or risk adjustment scores, to name just a few) will affect the bottom line in both the short and long term. In this session, participants will be introduced to unique financial models that can be used to predict the financial outcomes of various “what if” scenarios for your plan – so you will have a financial road map to guide your strategic planning efforts. Whether you are a new Medicare Advantage plan or an existing plan, you’ll gain insight into how to assess specific variables that can have critical financial implications for your plan and your overall strategy, including:
- Tools for measuring plan performance against "expected" performance in a given service area
- Strategies for testing new products, new service areas, and the impact of changing your current service area
- Gauging the financial impact of changes in benefit design and charging different premium levels over time
- How to predict the financial impact of changes in your Medicare Risk Adjustment Factor (RAF) score
- Utilizing different enrollment and disenrollment assumptions to measure the financial value of improving your member retention rates
- Testing the financial impact of other cost reductions (i.e., changes in commissions and SG&A;)
- Evaluating the impact of different trend assumptions for Part C benchmarks
