We are aware of the articles recently published by the New York Times. We fundamentally disagree with the depiction of our position in the industry and the services that we provide. 野花社区 plays an incredibly vital role in the entire healthcare ecosystem – including providing value-add services to:

• 1.4 million contracted providers
• More than 100,000 employers and plan sponsors with 60 million plan members
• Over 700 healthcare payors

Each of these stakeholders relies on 野花社区鈥檚 services and tools to avoid costly negotiations and ensure stronger and more efficient relationships between providers and payors, while ensuring market-based and fair pricing for healthcare services.

In fact, long before the passage of the No Surprises Act, 野花社区 has been committed to lowering out-of-network costs, reducing out-of-pocket expenses and removing balance bills from the healthcare system.

The article misses the fundamental economics of the healthcare system, in particular, out-of-network healthcare services pricing, and resultant claims processing and adjudication and the sources of balance bills in the out-of-network realm.

• 野花社区 has provided network, negotiations, data analytics and other services for nearly 44 years that have improved price transparency, materially reduced or eliminated balance bills from providers given our widely accepted solutions and reduced the overall cost of care for all consumers of healthcare 鈥� payors, employers and patients.
• In 2023 alone 野花社区 identified over $22B in savings for payors, employers and consumers in the healthcare industry.

野花社区 is and always has been focused on bending the cost curve in healthcare with fairness, efficiency, and affordability for consumers.

鈥淛erry brings a unique blend of operational excellence, strategic thinking, product development, team leadership, and expertise that aligns perfectly with the needs of our company as we take an aggressive step forward to get Fit for Growth and drive 野花社区 forward,” said Travis Dalton, CEO of 野花社区. 鈥淎s 野花社区 advances through the next phase of its evolution, I look forward to working closely with Jerry to refine and expand our service and solution offerings to bring enhanced value to our current customers as well as enable expansion into new customer verticals to bend the cost curve, and drive transparency, fairness, efficiency and affordability in the delivery of healthcare.鈥�

As COO of 野花社区, Hogge will oversee day-to-day operations to ensure clarity, alignment and accountability, and a disciplined focus on operational efficiency and effectiveness that will position the organization for growth.

1 We have not reconciled the forward-looking Adjusted EBITDA guidance included above to the most directly comparable GAAP measure because this cannot be done without unreasonable effort due to the variability and low visibility with respect to certain costs, the most significant of which are incentive compensation (including stock-based compensation), transaction-related expenses (including expenses relating to the business combination), certain fair value measurements, which are potential adjustments to future earnings. We expect the variability of these items to have a potentially unpredictable, and a potentially significant, impact on our future GAAP financial results.

As anyone who follows the industry knows, and as the same Texas study concludes, this is problematic because networks are generally more cost-efficient, and can facilitate better return to work and functional outcomes for injured workers.

Despite these obvious advantages, many states prohibit employers from directing injured workers to in-network providers. And even in states like Texas and California that do allow employers to direct employees to provider networks for a period of time and under certain circumstances, out-of-network bills are still a big driver of medical costs. In Texas, the 2022 Workers鈥� Compensation Network Report Card shows, per-claim medical costs for non-network bills were about 12% higher 18 months after injury than costs for network bills.

Top five considerations for property and casualty payors

Given this situation, property and casualty payors must take care in choosing an out-of-network solution. Here are our top five considerations when choosing an out-of-network solution for your workers鈥� compensation or auto medical bills.

1. Does the solution enhance traditional workers鈥� compensation and auto medical bill review processes?

Many managed care companies rely solely on bill review to reprice medical bills to a Usual & Customary rate or a state-mandated fee schedule. Our services can enhance traditional bill review processes in order to capture more savings, without disruptions. 野花社区 takes a multilayered approach to out-of-network property and casualty bills. This approach includes:

• Data iSight, an alternative to Usual & Customary or Medicare-based repricing methodologies
• Advanced Code Editing, designed to enhance traditional bill review processes with advanced analytics, physician-developed code rules and expert clinical reviews
• Negotiation 野花社区, which secure signed agreements with providers

2. Is the repricing based on apples-to-apples comparisons?

In our experience, providers often object to Usual & Customary or Medicare-based pricing methodologies, saying the resulting reductions don鈥檛 allow them to make a profit. They may say that a procedure costs more at their facility because they operate in a rural area. Or they may say their costs are higher because they train physicians. 野花社区 limits these objections by using data from similar facilities, bills or professionals. This results in 89%-98% of providers accepting our reductions. Better still, savings typically ring up to 73% off billed charges. In 2022 in states without a state fee schedule (Missouri and New Hampshire) and for certain bill types (New Jersey and Arizona), Data iSight achieved $119,442,538 in savings below the bill review repriced amount. The bill review repriced amount includes both Usual and Customary and fee schedule repricing.

3. Is it backed by data?

Providers may not accept repriced bills if they do not understand how the amounts were calculated. That is why managed care services companies should not operate in a 鈥渂lack box鈥� pricing mode, as many do. Instead, a vendor must be able to explain their pricing methodology, citing the data used to develop their repricing rules. 野花社区 uses a database of over 1 billion paid Health Care Finance Administration (HCFA) bill lines. We also use publicly available sources for facility data.

4. Is the solution informed by clinical expertise?

When choosing an out-of-network repricing solution, you should ask whether physicians participated in the development of the solution. Do they intervene, when necessary, in validating any repricing findings? 野花社区 relied on the expertise of physicians when developing our Advanced Code Editing solution鈥檚 rules, or 鈥渇actors,鈥� which power our analytics. In addition, board-certified physicians or expert coders review findings, when necessary.

5. What happens if a provider objects to a repriced bill?

With even the best repricing solutions, there will be times when a provider will object to a repriced bill. You should ask your vendor what happens in these instances. Does the vendor have a team that can jump into action? 野花社区鈥檚 reference-based pricing and negotiation service teams have over 400 negotiators, clinicians and support staff. They secure 31% to 37% average savings below bill review, depending on the bill type.

With these five questions answered, you should be well on your way to finding the right out-of-network solution for your workers’ compensation or auto medical bills.

The grant will also help fund Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy for a limited number of patients.
