Apollo Medical Holdings, Inc. (AMEH) Set to Benefit from Announced Changes to Medicare Payment Processing

Apollo Medical Holdings (OTC: AMEH) is a leading integrated healthcare company providing solutions to hospitals, health plans, physicians and other health providers that enable cost-effective, quality healthcare. The company utilizes integrated care solutions in order to identify and manage patients who are at-risk for chronic conditions. By coordinating care for these patients across multiple facilities, ApolloMed helps them reduce hospital admissions and avoid unnecessary emergency room visits, providing the means for reduced overall medical costs without sacrificing on quality of care.

Earlier this month, ApolloMed announced that its network of physicians had surpassed 1,000 providers. Through this network, the company is able to provide leading health management services to more than 40,000 of its own patients, as well as over 75,000 additional patients for its clients. The company’s network of dedicated hospitalists, nursing home physicians, clinic physicians, hospice care group and home health agency allow ApolloMed to provide care for some of the most complex and highest cost patients in the United States healthcare system.

Moving forward, ApolloMed is in a strong position to capitalize on the evolving landscape of the medical industry, particularly as it relates to value-based payments. In January, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) announced substantial changes to the way in which Medicare payments will be processed in the future. HHS set a goal of tying 30 percent of fee-for-service Medicare payments to quality or value through alternative payment models by the end of 2016. By the end of 2018, this change is expected to affect at least 50 percent of all Medicare payments. This announcement marked the first time in the history of the Medicare program that explicit goals for value-based payments have been set.

“Over the past three years, we have built a growing, robust network of physicians and an outcome-centric population health management platform that is at the forefront of the movement to value-based care,” Dr. Warren Hosseinion, chief executive officer of ApolloMed, stated in a news release. “We believe ApolloMed is well positioned to benefit from these transformative changes and sizable market growth over the next decade.”

For prospective shareholders, ApolloMed represents an opportunity to invest in an established player in the value-based medical market. With the recently announced shift in Medicare payment processing, the company’s developed and expanding network of medical group and accountable care organization physicians could provide a platform for increased revenues and, as a result, sustainable shareholder returns in the years to come.
