The hospital’s fixed costs are $38 million: What is the hospital’s net income? Assume that half of the 100,000 covered lives in the commercial payer group will be moved into a capitated plan. All utilization and cost data remain the same. What PMPM rate will the hospital have to charge to retain their Part a net income? What overall net income would be produced if the admission rate of the capitated group were reduced from the commercial level by 10 percent? Assuming that the utilization reduction also occurs, what overall net income would be produced if the variable cost per admission for the capitated group were lowered to $2,200?

Charity Hospital, a not-for-profit, has a maximum capacity of 15,000 discharges per year. Variable patient service costs are $495 per discharge. Variable general and administrative costs are $5 per discharge. Fixed hospital overhead costs are $4,000,000 per year. The current reimbursement rate is $1,000 per discharge. a.
