Introduction


The doublesys Physician Owned Health Plan model was developed from more than 20 years Medicare managed care experience and leads the next generation of Medicare managed care plans to the market. The basic health plan structure doublesys employs for the majority of its local health plans was created by the federal Balanced Budget Act of 1997. doublesys's model is designed to take full advantage of the recently enacted Medicare Prescription, Improvement, and Modernization Act of 2003, the most significant change to the Medicare program since its inception in 1965.

doublesys Physician Owned Health Plans are superior performing Medicare managed care plans that deliver high quality coordinated care, strong value and lower cost to members.

doublesys Local Health Plans are allowed to contract directly with the federal government to provide healthcare to Medicare beneficiaries, circumventing traditional insurance companies and HMOs. This allows physicians to participate in managing the full Medicare beneficiary dollar.

doublesys provides a turnkey solution to physician groups, enabling them to successfully build and govern their own health plan. doublesys's services cover the full range necessary to develop and operate a local, physician-owned health plan, including regulatory compliance, member marketing and enrollment, medical utilization management, claims administration and risk management.

doublesys's health plan solution represents a compelling business opportunity for physicians, who now face a steady erosion of net income from decreased patient revenue and much higher practice overhead, plus the loss of patient control and their practice equity.
