Dear Colleague,

Thank you for attending our meeting. Consider enrolling to evaluate our program at kenjireach.com. Enrolling lets you join peers in assessing a uniquely 100% physician-led risk-bearing entity (RBE), providing you with a valuable option to consider before CMS' August 1st deadline to select a program for the 2025 performance year.

“ACOs led by independent physicians save Medicare ‘substantially’ more money” (Brief)

From the April 2024 Congressional Budget Office Report

Kenji's unique structure sets us apart. Kenji takes 0% of savings, which is starkly different from other programs which take 50% of savings. Kenji's administration fees are just 3.5% of the benchmark, significantly lower than the 12-15% for other programs. In short: 

  • 100% of program savings are controlled exclusively by participating physicians, directing funds for their health and care delivery redesign and for equitable distribution.

  • Kenji's low fee supports a separate Management Services Organization (MSO) to handle all RBE administrative functions. 

  • The MSO grows only through this fee, it does not impinge on any surplus savings in the RBE. 

  • Investment and profit sharing occur exclusively within the MSO, with physicians encouraged to participate as investors. 

  • The MSO generates sufficient return on investment to attract the capital financing to launch the RBE.

  • Several options for stop-loss insurance coverage are being considered to further protect physicians from downside risk. These include an agency solution, a self-funded hybrid plan, and CMS’ stop loss reinsurance option.

Physicians and patients are our priority, unlike other programs focused on maximizing shareholder returns and hospital margins. Compare Kenji's PMPM and PMPY numbers with your current plan, we hope that this addresses any questions or concerns you may have (go to the Savings Calculator on this site and input your own numbers):

Program success hinges crucially on your active enrollment of physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and clinical nurse specialists.

Enroll today and encourage your peers to do the same. As of this email we have gained some very encouraging traction with 21 Hawaii physicians and over 3,000 beneficiaries. This is very motivating, but it's only a good start. We aim to enroll 15,000 aligned beneficiaries by mid July. This will require the engaged and determined participation of substantially all of Hawaii's clinician workforce.

Kenji REACH Timeline:
 * Enroll Today – Sign non-binding Letter Of Intent
 * Make a definitive choice by CMS’ August 1st, 2024 deadline
 * Formalize your decision by September 5th, 2024 (current ACO participants can initiate a change request)
 * Finalize your decision to participate (Sign Participation Agreement) by Dec 12th, 2024

Your participation positions you and your peers solidly in control of your patients, your practice, and the global economics of the population you and your colleagues serve. Joining empowers physicians to make an informed decision and sufficient participation will help maximize benefits for all stakeholders. Thank you for your interest, and we look forward to positively impacting Hawaii health and care delivery together.

Sincerely,

The Kenji REACH Team
