Health Care Network Development

Health Planning Solutions works with providers who are interested in forming the infrastructure necessary to offer a provider network to self-insured employers.

First we conduct a study of the market to determine how your health systems hospitals and physicians compare with the market as a whole in terms of value purchasing parameters. We also analyze the employer market and help you develop priority employer targets.

Based on the market study, we will recommend features that should be included in your product offering including: reimbursement methodologies, price points that are market competitive and meet your business goals, performance-guarantee structure, and potential value added services which the market requires.

Next, we will assist you in developing a business plan for your network offering including a pro forma operating statement based on reasonable sales and revenue and expense assumptions, a sales strategy, marketing materials, and an implementation plan and timetable.

The result is a network product your health system can go to market with and use as a vehicle to enhance market share, grow hospital and physician volumes, and establish a closer relationship with your employer customers.

Health Planning Solutions believes that the successful health system must be entrepreneurial within its skill sets. We believe that offering network products in the right market at the right time is a way for a health care provider to significantly enhance its presence and image in the employer community and grow its business while minimizing business risk.
