It’s Still the Prices, Stupid
<p>"I know that we know how to reduce TME, but I don't know that I know how to reduce TME."</p><p> </p><p>Healthcare cost is just Price × Volume — pay less or do fewer. That's it. This episode covers the price half: how payors negotiate (or just refuse to pay), how cost-shifting to you is usually a back-door volume play, and how substitutions — site of service, formulary management — actually save money. Including the true story of a diabetes drug that cost 100x more for 2x the dose.</p><p>Next time: volume, where physicians actually live.</p><p>Full piece with all the links: <a target="_blank" href="http://schutzblog.com">schutzblog.com</a></p> <br/><br/>Get full access to Schutzblog at <a href="https://www.schutzblog.com/subscribe?utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=CTA_4">www.schutzblog.com/subscribe</a>

Why Value-Based care hasn’t lived up to the hype, yet!
<p>In Part 2 of Capturing Value in Healthcare, we follow the money through Medicare Advantage's business equation: Revenue minus Costs equals Profit.

We walk through why the government's RAF party is ending (executives on trial, clinics shuttered, fire sales), why STARS quality ratings are the one lever you can't really game, and why the cost side — Total Medical Expense — is where value-based care either delivers or quietly falls apart. Next time: we dig into TME directly, which is what this whole series has been building toward.</p> <br/><br/>Get full access to Schutzblog at <a href="https://www.schutzblog.com/subscribe?utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=CTA_4">www.schutzblog.com/subscribe</a>

Capturing Value is the Hard Part
<p>Your innovative healthcare service creates real value — but who actually captures it? In this post, I break down why creating value in healthcare is the easy part and why the payment system makes it so hard to sustain. We walk through fee-for-service mechanics, the elaborate fiction of CPT codes, why orthopedists and dermatologists clean up while primary care gets shafted, and the perverse incentives that make it rational for your doctor to send you to the ER instead of managing you themselves. If you're building a healthcare company, this is the business model landscape you're navigating — and the setup for why 'value-based care' had to be invented.</p> <br/><br/>Get full access to Schutzblog at <a href="https://www.schutzblog.com/subscribe?utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=CTA_4">www.schutzblog.com/subscribe</a>
