Pressure in U.S Health Care
Environment
U.S Health care spending, which consistently grew much faster than inflation, was
projected to reach $4.3 trillion or 20.3 % GDP by 2018

Citizens 65 and over- a group whose health care costs were three to five times that of
people under Age 65

cost of cancer was projected to rise to 39% in the U.S from 2010 to 2020, reaching up
to $ 173 billion
Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) targeted three pain points in the U.S
health care system: Cost, Quality and insurance coverage
Pressures on Independent Physicians
Mandates for individuals to obtain health insurance
Firms with 50-plus workers to sponsor employee coverage

The law cut Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement to physicians, hospitals, and drug
companies

The new payment model provisions of the bill(bundling,ACO) threatened Independet
physicians.

Contrast to Fee for service payments(insurers paid providers a fee for each service)

Insurers paid providers a flat payment to manage all care required for certain health
needs of a group of health plan enrollees

Payments were usually calculated on per-Member-Per Month Basis(PMPM) and
included a profit margin for the provider

Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs)
Patient- Centered Medical homes (PCMH)
Bundled payments
New payment and Delivery Models
A Physician-led team of clinicians was responsible for coordinating all health care for a pool
of patients covered under a particular Payor

Aimed to lower costs and improve quality through specific standards of care provision and
data collection
IN this model a health care delivery system was accountable for the quality and the total
cost of care for a defined, local patient population.

Patient established a budget, calculated based on historical cost
Fee-for-Service Business
Model
In the past McKesson and the other pharmaceutical
distributors, Cardinal Health and AmerisourceBergen,
operated on a buy/hold business model under which a
company would purchase drugs from manufacturers in large
quantities based on what their own pricing models predicted
would happen to the value of the drugs. Then McKesson
would sell the drugs to its customers for--hopefully--a higher
price than that paid for the drugs.

However, McKesson and its competitors have switched their
business model to a fee-for-service (FFS) model. Distributors
now have arrangements with manufacturers that provide fees
and/or discounts to distributors for meeting certain levels and
requirements. Although the shift to FFS has cut down on the
influence of drug price inflation on McKessons margins, price
inflation still accounts for approximately 20-25% of
McKessons profits.
Customer Partnership Models:Health Mart and
USON
McKesson bought FoxMeyer Drug company in 1996, along with its subsidiary health mart
(with 800 Pharmacy Franchisees)

Acquisition build on McKesson's existing independent pharmacy franchise, value-Rite, and its
IT suite for prescription and payment management

Around 2005, McKesson refocused on the independent pharmacy sector and decided to
invest in Health mart as its flagship franchise

In 2010, overall U.S. spending increased 21.7% on unbranded generics and 4.5% on branded
generics, while spending on branded drugs declined 0.7%

In 2011, the Health Mart network included more than 2700 pharmacies
USON was formed through the 1999 merger of two cancer care management companies
(Physician Reliance Network and American Oncology Resources).

USON operated in two main businesses: Specialty drug distribution and a
comprehensive strategic alliance (CSA)

USON's 540 affiliated sites, including more than 100 radiation treatment facilities and
986 physicians, treated over 850000 cancer patients across the US

Mckesson Competitors
Cardinal Health:
Cardinal Health is McKesson's top competitor, in terms of revenue as well as
services offered. Cardinal Health is slightly more diversified than McKesson
as only approximately 86% of its revenue is generated from the distribution
of drugs.
The rest of Cardinal Health's revenue is derived from the distribution of
medical and surgical supplies to hospitals and other healthcare facilities
(approximately 8% of revenue), providing software and IT services (about
5%) and the production of medical products (approximately 1%). Cardinal
Health lags McKesson in terms of revenue, but is more profitable than
McKesson because of its more high-margin product and service mix.
Mckesson Competitors
AmerisourceBergen
The great majority of AmerisourceBergen's revenue (approximately 97%) comes
from the packaging and distribution of drugs and related services. The remaining
3% of revenue is derived from the distribution of healthcare products and services
to alternate-site healthcare facilities and long-term care patients.
AmerisourceBergen is similar to McKesson as it is so focused on the distribution
of drugs. However AmerisourceBergen is not involved in the healthcare IT
market, which may give McKesson an advantage as the healthcare IT market
grows and possibly becomes more consolidated.
