Dear Colleague,

Thank you for completing the online registration process here at kenjireach.com! Your decision to consider assuming 100% financial control of a new risk-bearing entity (RBE) underscores your dedication to prioritizing patient care above all else.

As your very next step, we urge you to spread the word as quickly as possible amongst your colleagues and encourage them to register and, in their turn, to spread this important message to their fellow clinicians as well.

If you would like to add additional clinicians in your practice that have agreed to join, please register them here (Name, NPI, Email and Cell # are all that is required).

“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 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.

Encourage your peers to enroll as soon as possible. As of this email we have gained some very encouraging traction with 20 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-May. This will require the engaged and determined participation of substantially all of Hawaii's clinician workforce.

Kenji REACH Timeline:
 * Sign non-binding Letter Of Intent [Completed: Enroll colleagues]
 * Make a definitive choice by the 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,

Your Kenji REACH Team
