Providers: ‘ New competition, regulation, medical inflation, mandatory health insurance and new obligatory systems’
Option 1- AdaptOption 2- SellOption 3- Close
Payers: ‘Cross subsidy of Motor/General lines to be forbidden, capped premiums and mandatory cover, intense competition and continued client churn’
‘Perfect Storm’

Funding Mandatory Health Insurance is slowly being rolled
out across the MENA region Health Insurance companies struggle to have a
positive combined ratio. With low initial premiums and high benefits, Insurers are facing 95-120% combined ratios (administration costs and claims)
Insurers will leave quality concerns to regulators and will push for the lowest possible prices.
With a fragmented Insurer market, more and more will use TPA’s to aggregate their purchasing to drive down prices.
We are already seeing Daman move to halve reimbursement for diagnostic tests in Abu Dhabi in a unilateral move
Next we will see the growth of Networks where patients will only be allowed to go to approved clinics and hospitals
Providers will struggle with CPT coding and the move to electronic HIS systems and possibly DRG bundling ?

New Competition
There is unprecedented growth in new healthcare facilities across the region – 18 new hospitals are under construction in Dubai alone
45 Health Insurers or TPA’S – lacking scale and fighting providers rather than working with them
The DHA is licencing 1.5 new clinical facilities per day
Enlightened operators are building ‘feeder clinics’ to secure their referral base into Secondary Care – 2-4% outpatient to inpatient referrals
Market is segmenting into four categories of provider: Labour Camp (30%) Low cost (35%) Mid Market (25%) Premium (10%)
Quality, Pricing and Customer Experience are all being challenged as the market starts to see brands emerging

RegulationRegulation builds public confidence and allows systems to mature with the right checks and balances, however regulation will also: Increase costs of operating Force some historic facilities to close (Hospitals
in residential buildings, facilities without good access and egress, property without the right HVAC systems etc)
Make it difficult for one man clinics to see patients and cope with the reporting and paperwork involved
Drive out poor practices like referral fees and commissions to Doctors
Needs to look at low level clinics and small hospitals where standards are still poor with some operators
New hospital grading systems will force operators to upgrade or reduce prices

Technology Technology changes the game: Internet empowers the consumer – researching
their illnesses and treatment options, checking out reputations of Doctors and Providers – Think ‘Trip Advisor’ for healthcare
Surgical procedures are changing; Cataracts, Laparoscopic Procedures, Robotics
Doctors don’t need to be in the room; telemedicine allows access to the best specialist radiologists, geneticists and specialist consultations
Diagnostic capabilities of new equipment, Stem Cell applications and Chromosomal modifications at conception – tackling thalassemia and other conditions – all point to a very different way of applying medicine in the future
Administrative, billing and claim systems will become increasing sophisticated

Consumerism Patients are increasingly well informed Research about Clinics, Hospitals and even
individual Doctors is available online Commissions are widespread with up to 50% of
diagnostics and must be stopped Patients don’t trust the MENA healthcare system –
yet Health Insurance in the MENA region is often
poor: Biopsy rejections for melanoma, limited palliative care, low limits of cover, employers not being shown the consequence of poor cover
Mandatory Health Insurance in Dubai will not work at low premium levels and quality needs to be owned by Insurers and Providers
Not enough quality indicators Not enough volume for surgeons to maintain skills Obesity and chronic conditions will require
growing specialization from providers and early screening from employers/payors

Inbound Investment
Ithmar Capital, Farj Capital, Abraaj Capital, AL WAHA Capital are just some of the investors specifically targeting healthcare
Stock market Floatation's have also been successful with Al Noor and NMC and the Dr Moopen Group should list next year. Access to capital markets and Investors wanting to see continued expansion will also increase the consolidation of smaller operators.
Amanat Dh 1.37 bn IPO to target health and education as an underwritten Dubai listing with no existing assets
Private Equity Groups see healthcare as a growing, profitable and defensive area to invest in, they will help to continue market growth and consolidation;

Adaptive Strategies for Providers
The best provider for each medical condition will prosper.Looking after your patients throughout the healthcare continuum will retain them within the brand.
“Doctors have patients”.. so look after your doctors and make them the heart of your brand
You can work in multiple sectors but the brands need to be separated and focus on either being the lowest price or the best in each niche.Insurance networks and employer choice will dictate the new landscape. Why should they choose you?
The competition is getting fiercer and new entrants are building for the future. Focus on recall, prevention, education and show your customers you care.
SPECIALIZE
BUILD REFERRAL NETWORKS
TIE IN YOUR TOP DOCTORS
FOCUS ON YOUR SEGMENT
BUILD STRONG INSURER AND
EMPLOYER LINKS
COMMUNICATE YOUR BRAND TO YOUR PATIENTS

Adaptive Strategies for Payor’s
Healthcare must be about clinical outcomes first and taking away the administration headache from patients, is this your culture ?
Take an aggressive stance to build networks across the four demographic segments. Drive quality, price and partnerships with providersWhilst there is a reluctance to invest heavily in ‘occupational health’ because of regional turnover, early diagnosis reduces costs and can be done in partnership with providers
With many providers still operating on paper based systems and seeing 50+ patients per day, help them to use CPT coding and share utilisation and referral rates in a constructive wayDifferent systems encourage different behaviours and capitation for routine primary care encourages efficiency and removes over prescribing, it can also provide certainty of cashflow for providers
Your brand as a payor is as good as the providers you let into your network, help them to specialise and to gather the data which builds confidence and trust
Focus on the patient
Build networks
Encourage screening and early diagnosis
Focus on training your
providersInvestigate hybid capitation models
Encourage your partners to specialise and measure clinical
outcomes
