Question - VIP-MD is a health maintenance organization (HMO) located in North Carolina. Unlike the traditional fee-for-service model that determines the payment according to the actual services used or costs incurred, VIP-MD receives a fixed, prepaid amount from subscribers. The per member, per month rate (PMPM) is determined by estimating the health care cost per enrollee within a geographic location. The average health care coverage in North Carolina costs $364 per month, which is the same amount irrespective of the subscriber's age. Because individuals are demanding quality care at reasonable rates, VIP-MD must contain its costs to remain competitive. A major competitor, National Physicians, entered the North Carolina market early in the current year with a monthly premium of $321. VIP-MD wants to maintain its current market penetration and hopes to increase its enrollees in the current year. The latest data on the number of enrollees and the associated costs follow:
