Abstract: Systems, computer programs, and methods for controlling ancillary medical costs of a healthcare practice and/or insurance network with a plurality of physicians participating therein, are provided. According to an example method, the steps include identifying one or more a plurality of physicians having ancillary medical costs that exceed a certain level to thereby identify the physician or physicians for behavior modification with respect to ancillary medical costs. The method can also include generating information identifying recommended alternative ancillary medical procedures to modify behavior of a physician or physicians with respect to management of the ancillary medical costs.

Abstract: Computer implemented methods and computer program products for reducing the ancillary medical costs of an insurance network with a plurality of physicians participating therein. Computer implemented methods can include, for example, establishing an communication network between a healthcare consultation group and the insurance network, and accessing data associated with the plurality of physicians via the communication network. Embodiments can further include, for example, identifying, in a computer process, physicians who have engaged in ancillary medical procedures that are not preferred by the insurance network, and modifying behaviors of these physicians to reduce the ancillary medical costs of the insurance network.

Abstract: Computer implemented methods are provided for managing and optimizing the profitability of an insurance network with a plurality of physicians in a healthcare practice participating therein. Exemplary computer implemented methods can include, for example, comparing data received via a communications network for each of the plurality of physicians in the healthcare practice with one or more preferred ancillary medical procedures of the insurance network to thereby identify at least one of the plurality of physicians in the healthcare practice who engages in ancillary medical procedures that are not preferred by the insurance network.

Abstract: Computer implemented methods are provided for managing and optimizing the profitability of a plurality of physicians in a healthcare practice participating in an insurance network. Exemplary computer implemented methods can include, for example, comparing via one or more computers current ancillary medical procedures used by each of the plurality of physicians with one or more preferred ancillary medical procedures of the insurance network to thereby identify at least one of the plurality of physicians in the healthcare practice who engages in ancillary medical procedures that are not preferred by the insurance network. Such exemplary computer implemented methods can also include, for example, modifying the ancillary medical cost management behavior of the at least one of the plurality of physicians and distributing a predetermined percentage of savings attributed to the modified ancillary medical cost management behavior of the at least one of the plurality of physicians.

Abstract: Methods are provided for collecting fees for managing and optimizing the profitability of a plurality of physicians in a healthcare practice participating in an insurance network. The methods include establishing a relationship between a healthcare consultation group and the healthcare practice participating in the insurance network to increase the physician's profitability by reducing a risk of not receiving a predetermined reimbursement amount for ancillary medical costs from the insurance network. The methods also include distributing predetermined percentages of savings attributed to the physicians' modified ancillary medical cost management behavior.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for optimizing profits for healthcare practices and insurance networks. The methods and systems include modifying physician's cost management behavior to enhance profitability of healthcare practices and insurance networks by identifying physicians that are not profitable because of cost management behavior and providing intervention to change the management behavior of the physician.
