NOTE: This is the third in a series of ‘Must listen’ webcasts produced at JP Morgan’s 34th Annual Healthcare Conference. The first focused on telehealth sector market leader Teladoc, the second on Centene. For background and details on this august annual gathering, see ‘If It’s January, It’s JP Morgan Healthcare Conference‘. Remaining companies to detail as they represent important ‘bell weather’ insights relative to their respective sectors, include: Aetna, AthenaHealth, Genomic Health,Universal American, Tenet Health, as well as several from the ‘non-profit’ (tax exempt) sector including Baylor Scott and White.
Molina Healthcare’s operations and strategy positioning insights are similar to Centene and in many ways constitute bell weather operators in the same space. Market and performance comparisons are material on a number of levels including the ‘urge to merge’ in the HMO or managed care space, and the implications such continuing consolidation holds for movement towards clinical and financial integration in the provider space. Additionally as many predict the future viability of the Medicare Trust Fund may rely largely on the efficacy of how Part C stakeholders articulate a sustainable vision of Medicare Advantage program to extend and enhance the life cycle of the Medicare program itself.
