Overview

The need for healthcare payment reform has never been greater. Both in the United States and abroad, the rapidly escalating cost of healthcare is threatening the financial integrity of government, corporations, and individuals alike. MPA offers two solutions, the MPA Virtual Partnership and GlobalPRIME™, that realign financial incentives to reward high quality care and good economic stewardship.

The MPA Virtual Partnership is a financial arrangement between physicians and hospitals based on a powerful cost accounting methodology. It aligns incentives to encourage coordinated care, improve quality, and reduce cost. It permits the equitable distribution of revenue between hospitals and physicians and supports hospital/physician alignment with independent physician practices or within integrated health systems, PHOs, and ACOs.

GlobalPRIME™ is a healthcare payment system that aligns provider and payer priorities to promote coordinated care, improve quality, and reduce cost. It creates strong financial incentives for high quality outcomes and good economic stewardship by associating payment with a complete episode of care, with patient risk, and with a warranty against adverse outcomes. Adoption of GlobalPRIME™ promises billions in national healthcare cost savings.

Everyone Wins

Hospitals like our system because it makes doctor priorities the same as the hospital priorities, lowering costs without requiring a complicated system or the purchase of physician practices. Our research, published in peer-reviewed journals, has consistently found minimum savings of 5-10 percent.

Doctors like our system because they share in the savings they create by delivering cost-effective care. Our system also can provide them with clear guidance about what is working and how to improve.

Patients like our system because they will receive the best care for the right reasons.

Payers like our system too. It improves coordination, it improves quality, and it includes a warranty. MPA’s GlobalPRIME™ system extends the MPA Virtual Partnership concepts to include payers, offering providers the opportunity to increase their revenue even further.
