A Proven Commercial Population Health Management System for Medical Providers
Direct-to-Employer
Gain Sharing Model
There has never been a better time in this nation’s history for Medical Providers to take control of the healthcare system
than now. Healthcare Reform has produced a number of challenges to the way that Medical Providers get paid and the
number one question is how you adapt while still remaining profitable. One of the key opportunities available today is to
maximize reimbursements with self-funded employers in your community without any down side risk. These systems are
available as a proprietary strategy of your organization, not just another financial reimbursement contract with Medicare,
Medicaid, or a commercial insurance carrier.
Goals and objectives must lead toward the management of positive outcomes and value while diminishing healthcare
expenses. Sustainability is contingent on managing the risks of population segments that are predicted to increase
healthcare expenditures if left unattended. These items must be accomplished while embracing a patient centric
approach.
Medical providers can now have access to a proven population management
system that has been in place for over 12 years with extraordinary results
applied to over 1 million members under management. ACSG/Key Family
has established a comprehensive system of patented and proven processes
that can track quality and cost of care with proven and targeted interventions.
Through the American Health Data Institute’s (AHDI) population management
process hundreds of health plans have seen their healthcare trend reduced
year over year and in many instances total aggregate costs have been reduced
substantially.
EMPLOYERS ARE CHALLENGED
With the advent of ACA there are increased uncertainties and escalating costs for employers that offer a group health
plan. Key market forces indicate that:
•	 Employers are looking to establish direct
relationships with medical providers to improve
quality and reduce costs
•	 Rate increases in group health plans are higher
than they have been in 5 years
•	 Employers are becoming more frustrated with the
lack of information when rate increases are being
presented
•	 Refugees from the fully-insured marketplace are
looking at self-funding alternatives
•	 Employees are becoming increasingly less
satisfied with their benefit plans
•	 57% of health plans are self-funded today, an
increase of nearly 30% in the past ten years
•	 There is very little risk management in the
marketplace to manage and understand the key
elements affecting healthcare plans
A Proven Commercial Population Health Management System for Medical Providers
We know that given
the right tools Medical
Providers can have
the greatest impact on
controlling costs and
increasing quality, even
more than any insurance
company or HMO.
Direct-to-Employer Gain Sharing Model
A PROVEN POPULATION HEALTH MODEL
Accountable Care Solutions Group (ACSG/Key Family) has developed a “turn-key” and customizable infrastructure
that medical providers can deploy within their communities to access self-funded employer purchasers on a direct basis
with a value proposition of quality and cost savings that no other system can attest. With more than 30 years of health
plan management experience and over 3,300 corporate clients covering over 1 million members, ACSG/Key Family has
developed a system that medical providers can “private label” to attract employers into their medical provider delivery
system. The infrastructure supports all of the components for managing and administering self-funded plans with
preferential stop loss and pricing advantages.
A PROVEN ANALYTICAL FRAMEWORK
The American Health Data Institute (AHDI) utilizes sophisticated data warehousing techniques and analytical tools. The
data in the AHDI warehouse includes over three million lives, all but two states are represented related to geographic and
regional data and there are over 20 terabytes of computer storage, capacity and memory. To provide a perspective on the
volume of data, a warehouse, which can store eighteen terabytes, could hold the entire printed collection of the Library
of Congress. The back end database engine is a Microsoft SQL Server 2000/2008. The data in the AHDI warehouse
is transformed into powerful, actionable intelligence utilizing very sophisticated software to analyze the variance, cost
drivers, cost trends and other significant clinical and financial factors influencing healthcare costs. Using the AHDI
intelligent data to manage chronic diseases will drive the favorable variances necessary to optimize a gain
sharing distribution.

  • 1. A Proven Commercial Population Health Management System for Medical Providers Direct-to-Employer Gain Sharing Model

Healthcare Reform has produced a number of challenges to the way that Medical Providers get paid and the number one question is how you adapt while still remaining profitable. One of the key opportunities available today is to maximize reimbursements with self-funded employers in your community without any down side risk. These systems are available as a proprietary strategy of your organization, not just another financial reimbursement contract with Medicare, Medicaid, or a commercial insurance carrier. Goals and objectives must lead toward the management of positive outcomes and value while diminishing healthcare expenses. Sustainability is contingent on managing the risks of population segments that are predicted to increase healthcare expenditures if left unattended. These items must be accomplished while embracing a patient centric approach.

The back end database engine is a Microsoft SQL Server 2000/2008. The data in the AHDI warehouse is transformed into powerful, actionable intelligence utilizing very sophisticated software to analyze the variance, cost drivers, cost trends and other significant clinical and financial factors influencing healthcare costs. Using the AHDI intelligent data to manage chronic diseases will drive the favorable variances necessary to optimize a gain sharing distribution.
