14 RISK MANAGEMENT AND NON-HEALTHCARE COSTS Gerhard van Emmenis 14 BONITAS PRESENTATION TITLE

15 Independent relationship between Scheme and Administrator - Managing the risk As seen from the Historical overview, the Scheme commenced operating as such within the Medscheme stable. Due to the change in the legislative environment, the Scheme had to be re-structured and exist in its current form The Scheme separated completely from Medscheme, which it retains as a strategic service provider. The Scheme is the dominant partner in the relationship Branding of the Scheme and Medscheme remains completely separate there is a concerted effort to ensure that both the corporate identities and the branding of the Scheme remains distinct from that of its administrator. Also, the Scheme ensures its independence by ensuring that the following elements remains fully within its control 15

16 CORPORATE GOVERNANCE PRINCIPLES Tariffs Negotiations Tariffs negotiations with Service Providers are done by the Fund With managed care agreements, the Schemes MHO only facilitates the negotiation process Final decisions and contracts concluded solely by the Scheme Procurement Procurement is done by the Scheme strictly in line with its own procurement process Independently managed internally by the Scheme 16

17 CORPORATE GOVERNANCE PRINCIPLES Banking & Investments Opening and closing of bank accounts are only done on instruction of the Board of Trustees Control is maintained over these bank accounts as is required in terms of section 26(1)(c) of the Medical Schemes Act The Scheme s investments are independently maintained by the Scheme s duly appointed investment advisors 17

18 MANAGEMENT OF THE ADMINISTRATOR The administrator of any scheme is a strategic partner While there is an aligned interest and relationship, the Scheme must maintain its independence, while ensuring that the Administrator renders quality services. Tools used to manage the administrator Delegations Administrator restricted in terms of authority to bind the scheme by a series of delegations Oversight Regular reports are submitted by the Administrator, and are monitored by the Scheme with the assistance of the Scheme s own internal auditors Penalties are levied against the Administrator in the event of mal- or under-performance 18

27 Tax Matters Tax contributions treated less favourably Largest impact in change in tax dispensation felt by higher LSM groups which traditionally can afford medical aid Many buying down Unintended consequence may be to add to the burden of public health care Misconception that self administered schemes save 14% VAT on administration fee saving is much less as VAT would be paid on the components necessary for self administration 27

28 FRAUD, WASTE AND ABUSE Provider behaviour (PMB s) Over- Servicing Billing agents Member apathy Fraud, Waste & Abuse Member participation Opportunistic Tariff manipulation Syndicated False claims 28

29 FRAUD, WASTE AND ABUSE 5-month analysis (medical professionals only) R1.4bn claims assessed for HCPs only 2.05m claim events; 4.5m lines Identified R72m FWA = 5% of claims 29

30 FRAUD, WASTE AND ABUSE Operational improvements to systemic weaknesses and policy gaps Focused member & provider education Change provider billing behavior ZERO Tolerance Policy Industry Consortium Predictive Analytics Preventative rather than reactive 30
