  8. TRMC’s Current Market Share • 80% of patients participate in government insurance programs • 45% Medi-Cal • Poor quality perception is hurting patient retention • Potential patients directed elsewhere

  9. Ideal Solutions • Physician alignment

  10. Renegotiate Physician Contracts • Business development and physician communication • What do they want? • What do competitors offer? • Sizeable share of the newly insured • PPACA will increase commercial payers • Focus on community needs

  11. Optimize TRMC’s Clinic Network • Maintain 3 Rural Health Clinics and 2 1206(d) clinics • RHCs • Higher Medi-Cal reimbursement rates • PPACA increasing Medi-Cal rates 2013-2014 • Patient access to care • Specialized care for the population

  12. Optimize TRMC’s Clinic Network • 1206(d) Clinics • Hospitals • Higher Medicare reimbursement rates • 100-113% • Increased patient base • Reinforce physician-TRMC alignment efforts • Inpatient referrals

  13. Optimize TRMC’s Clinic Network • Physicians • No overhead, focus on patients • New technology • Community • Increase quality perception • Bring access to health care • Programs for elderly

  14. Establish Medical Foundation • Key component of physician alignment • Will help facilitate recruiting and retention • PPACA influential in the move toward collaborative care

  15. Conclusion • Physician alignment with TRMC • Care for population health needs • Funnel patients to TRMC main campus • Increase revenue generation • 1206(d) and rural clinics are a first effort toward long-term Foundation goals

  16. Mission Statement “A patient-centered organization that sets the standard for patient experience and quality of care by pushing the boundaries of technology in service to our community.”
