Objectives
• Index for private sector medical prices• Experienced by members of a particular
set of medical schemes• In respect of claims submitted for
reimbursement• Opportunities for expansion
![Page 3: da Silva - Medical InflationMicrosoft PowerPoint - da Silva - Medical Inflation.ppt Author: kt Created Date: 5/10/2007 12:24:56 PM](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060602/605738537844a57b483fa485/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Ideal index characteristics
• Representative• Objective• Consistent• Smooth• Ease of understanding (and calculation)

MPI
Inflation is defined as the persistent change in the general price level
The intention of the index is to track the changes in the price of medical services
over time in an objective way.

Currently available measures
• Contribution increases– Per scheme– Report of the Registrar
• CPI– Medical care and health expenses
![Page 6: da Silva - Medical InflationMicrosoft PowerPoint - da Silva - Medical Inflation.ppt Author: kt Created Date: 5/10/2007 12:24:56 PM](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060602/605738537844a57b483fa485/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Medical Scheme Contributions
• Used as proxy for medical costs• But includes:
– Non-healthcare costs– Reserving requirements– Utilisation trends– Impacts of benefit changes– Impacts of demographic changes

MPI is measure of the change in the price of services provided by the medical service
provider

Index development
• Measuring performance / effects• Monitoring growth• Benchmarks• Identification of problem areas

Calculation process
• Household surveys (quantities)• Price surveys• Development of representative baskets• Aggregation of baskets
– Items to include– Substitution
• Weight allocations (within and between)• Index calculation
![Page 12: da Silva - Medical InflationMicrosoft PowerPoint - da Silva - Medical Inflation.ppt Author: kt Created Date: 5/10/2007 12:24:56 PM](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060602/605738537844a57b483fa485/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Sources of bias
• Substitution• Outlet substitution• Quality change• New product
(Boskin Commission, 1995)

ILO Manual
• Use of formulae• Frequency and completeness of surveys• Sampling methods• Quality adjustment• Relevance to sub populations• Differing objectives

South African CPI
• CPI• Core• CPIx• Inflation targeting• Weights based on 2000 household survey• 17 groups incl. medical care and health

Pilot study
• Medical schemes administered by sponsor• Service dates:1 Jan 2001 to 30 Nov 2005• Claim extracts:
• Hospital;• Medicine; and• Other (all remaining services providers and claim
types).
![Page 18: da Silva - Medical InflationMicrosoft PowerPoint - da Silva - Medical Inflation.ppt Author: kt Created Date: 5/10/2007 12:24:56 PM](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060602/605738537844a57b483fa485/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
MPI
• Private sector measure• Calculated from medical scheme data• Claim amounts (not tariff)• Extensive baskets of products and
services• All items measured monthly• Adjustments for changing practice

Data issues
• Tariff coding– NHRPL– NAPPI
• Internal codes• Hospital consumables• Frequency definition

MPI calculation
• At per category level and overall• h(n) = hits weighting used in month n• p(n) = price in month n• M(n) = [sumproduct(h(n),p(n))] / sum (h(n))• Index(n) = [M(n) / M(n-1)] * 100
![Page 22: da Silva - Medical InflationMicrosoft PowerPoint - da Silva - Medical Inflation.ppt Author: kt Created Date: 5/10/2007 12:24:56 PM](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060602/605738537844a57b483fa485/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Linking methodology
• In transition month:– A = Weights(1) * cost per hit– B = Weights(2) * cost per hit
• Index in transition month = A/prior month• Index in transition month + 1 =
following month/B

Limitations• Submitted medical scheme claims – not total
spend• Specific medical schemes• Coding practices• Substitution effects – frequency of weighting
changes• Other influences:
– Benefit adjustments– Demographic changes– Regulatory changes– Medical practice– Provider agreements

MCI Adjustments
• Utilisation trends are driven by a number of factors including:– Benefit design;– Changing demographics;– Changing treatment patterns and practices;– Attitudes toward claiming;– Member plan movements;– Changes in medical technology.

MUI
• Calculated from MPI and MCI• MUI = MCI / MPI• Assumes that change not attributable to
price are utilisation• MCI is after adjustment
