In addition to medical costs, Bay Pines allocates 10 percent of the total premium for administration/reserves.
On the basis of your data analysis, respond to the following:
***What is the PMPM rate that Bay Pines must set to cover medical costs plus administrative expenses?
***What would be the rate if a utilization management program were to reduce utilization within each patient service category by 10 percent? And by 20 percent?
***Consider the initial base case utilization assumption. What rate would be set if the average cost on each service were reduced by 10 percent?
***Assume that both utilization and cost reductions were made. What would the premium be?
