Plenty of missing-the-point reactions on this one, but I'll just add: if the patient or their caregiver are late for the appointment, or don't show, they get charged or penalized by the physician or provider. Patients' time is also important. Even improving communication helps.

One of the more straightforward abuses of market power that I have seen from insurers is Medicare Advantage plans requiring a right of first refusal to buy an independent practice, as a condition of participating in a large/dominant plan’s network.

Nearly half of states want to be able to offer Medicaid to people before they're released from jail or prison, including 7 applying in the last year. Lots of interest in this from red and blue states, especially as a way to address overdose deaths.

👏@CMSGov for delaying changes to researchers' access to Medicare data. CMS is clearly being sensitive to concerns from the research community. Now it's critical for researchers to work with CMS to find ways to guarantee data security and great scholarship going forward.

Treating core IT infrastructure teams as a cost center you outsource to cheaper countries is what you expect from IBM or a dying bricks and mortar business not a big tech that made $23.6 billion in profit last quarter What’s going on at Google?
I have scrolled through the "experts" telling us why primary care is so hard and how to fix it. The "fix" starts with greater investment (real money, not incentives) and then with getting rid of all the administrative trash that clutters the days of primary care physicians.
WCK served 200,000 meals to displaced Palestinians today as we resumed work in Gaza. We’ve provided more than 43 million meals in Gaza to date. 276 WCK trucks are ready to enter through Rafah with enough food for 8 million meals. We’re also sending trucks north. #ChefsForGaza

9/ This decision also says to me that the "milk in the back of the store" theory of primary care "boxes" did not play out in practice. I am confident that Walmart measured the impact on banana sales, and did not find justification there c/f Walgreens x.com/farzad_md/stat…
👀 Walgreens, chasing profits, to close 60 VillageMD clinics in 2024 A caution for Walmart, CVS, others looking for synergies between bricks and mortar stores and employed risk-beating clinics? healthcaredive.com/news/walgreens… via @healthcaredive
10/ The only other example of a primary care practice chain that isn't risk-based generating good margin is One Medical, and they did it by piggybacking commercial rates for hightech employers on hospital fee for service rates-not exactly in line w Walmart x.com/farzad_md/stat…
In general, primary care services are slow to scale, and aren't going to have huge margins no matter how tech-enabled... unless they move to taking risk on total cost of care. Their current clientele are not ideal for risk (too healthy).
15/ I don't want to minimize their challenges, they live in the world of shitty primary care FFS reimbursement and at the mercy of whatever contracts they are handed by payers. but you know what they can also amazingly well-with a little help? perform in risk-based contracts
14/ I had dinner last night w 3 rural Texas docs (town pop 2,000 to 5,000) who are delivering fantastic primary care at homes, in office, hospital and international missions 4 family med graduates among their children. competing softball teams. a combined 80 years in practice
13/ They work hard, but they are less likely to be burnt out than their employed brethren they may well be practicing in an 80 year old practice their children are more likely to go into medicine, and to take over their legacy they are scrappy - and more likely to be happy
11/ So, it's worth asking - who *is* providing primary care, especially in medically underserved and rural areas? how are they surviving, if Walmart can't? The answer is that in healthcare we often see DIS-economies of scale Bigger isn't cheaper x.com/farzad_md/stat…
"The big guys aren't cheaper. They don't deliver better customer service, they aren't more timely, none of that. They're just able to negotiate higher prices" said (me) CEO of @AledadeACO, a company that aims to help primary care practices stay independent businessinsider.in/science/health…
12/ We work with hundreds of rural practices at Aledade, and they are amazing!! They still round on patients in the hospital, they are county health officers, and softball team doctors. they serve their church, and their community. they are often entrepreneurs on the side too
8/ One of their main challenges was cost of staffing- they even tried to grow their own workforce, but there's real competition for healthcare workers, and primary care doctors in health professional shortage areas are ... hard to find. x.com/farzad_md/stat…
Remarkable story by @HeatherLandi Walmart announces plan to build healthcare workforce, offering education for $1 a day fiercehealthcare.com/finance/a-focu…
7/ If the business model then isn't taking risk on total cost of care, then their meaning of "value-based care" becomes more like "value meal" - cheap primary care But fee for service primary care is already a low margin business - and getting worse. doing it cheaper is HARD
6/ But they partnered w UHG instead. at one level I get it, UHG know how to run an MA plan. But, for once, Walmart is on the wrong side of a huge information assymetry in that partnership, and probably on the wrong side of the economics as well x.com/farzad_md/stat…
UHG scored a big win in this 10 yr agreement. A Walmart MA plan will help them grow on the UHC side, and servicing Walmart Health clinics a coup for Optum Walmart and UnitedHealth Group Collaborate To Deliver Access to High-Quality, Affordable Health Care corporate.walmart.com/newsroom/2022/…
4/ Some are speculating that it would have worked if they had bought Humana back in 2018 (and maybe that's still on the table) But the analogies to Aetna + CVS minute clinic (and Oak St) only serve to emphasize for me how tough that strategy is x.com/farzad_md/stat…
@C_Garthwaite Except that I never bought the minute clinic (vs Caremark) part of the strategy. And Walmart doesn't have a PBM And Humana doesn't do commercial insurance #confoozed
3/ To their credit, they tried a lot of permutations over the past 10 years, and strictly as an operator, you have to give them respect that they could be a force - Third party vendor - Walmart Health clinics -Oak St Health - Own clinics + telehealth x.com/farzad_md/stat…
I have a lot of respect for their ability to disrupt “@JohnNosta: $4 visits: Walmart launches primary-care clinics advisory.com/daily-briefing…”
2/ The first thing I have to acknowledge is to rule out "execution" They aren't perfect (their Athena and Epic EMR travails show that) but Walmart knows how to execute, and they won't scale something until they've figured out how to make it profitable. They couldn't
1/ When Walmart enters any business you can expect that they will leverage their massive scale to get better economics, create value for customers- and drive out local mom and pop competitors Thats what many assumed would happen w primary care clinics but it didn't why not?
When the argument is always "No margin, no mission" there is no limiting factor on what profit-seeking behavior tax-exempt hospitals will engage in. Open a private equity subsidiary? 340B at a clinic in Bevery Hills? Garnish wages for unpaid bills? "No margin, no mission!"
