Do you have a breakdown on shared savings (utilization) in MA and the flow of returned incentives to payers in group retiree funded vs fully funded MA under the payers? I can see value added with Stars performance increasing benchmark premium funding and then increasing the share of savings created (4.5 star = 70%) But on group funded MA plans, is that still the same as far as reporting to CMS - but different in funding dollars and where the rebates are shared? Trying to follow that as I have grey area in my understanding. Part of this is trying to negotiate with a payer and knowing requirements and flow of dollars on MA, but group seems to add some hurdles.
Looks like you curate your comments. No prob. I wanted to add that I'm in my mid 60s, vegetarian since the '70s (before there was such a thing as "vegan"), and my total cholesterol is 129. This actually is NOT an n of one. J
