VBC Foundation Series Summary The Value-Based Care (VBC) foundation series shows how VBC has dramatically increased administrative complexity. Small practices don’t have the resources to manage this complexity, which forces them to exit healthcare via consolidation or bankruptcy. Larger organizations are able to manage the complexity inherent in VBC contracts and increase their moat. This prevents new medical practices (especially small practices) from entering the marketplace, reducing competition and solidifying the incumbents’ market position. This slowly trends towards monopolies or oligopolies. These firms concentrate enough power to capture regulators and influence laws that allow them to maintain their power, or escape consequences for not providing high-quality healthcare.

Physician compensation is only 7% of a $4.4 trillion medical / healthcare industry. Looking at physician compensation is a red hering and a smoke and mirrors trick to avoid discussion about the other 93% of the costs. In what industry would you look to a 7% line item as a cost cutting measure, especially when that 7% is the only line item producing the actual product, ie patient care.
