Key Findings
- Health systems continue to grow through new construction, mergers and acquisitions and addition of new convenient care sites, like urgent care and retail clinics or free-standing emergency rooms. The three largest systems in
the Twin Cities - Fairview, Allina andHealthPartners , now control 70.7% of the market, up from 57.7% in 2012. The combined Fairview system has more than 30% ofthe Twin Cities market, the first time a system has reached that threshold. In westernWisconsin , theGundersen andMarshfield Clinic systems plan to merge, creating a formidable competitor for systems like Mayo andHealthPartners . - Despite posting operating losses of
$237 million , net income forTwin Cities -area hospitals increased by 35% in 2017.Twin Cities hospitals reported net income of$599.6 million (5.9% of net patient revenues) in 2017, up from$444 million in 2016 and$548 million in 2015. Their other revenues from investments, philanthropy and government grants increased sharply, more than offsetting their operating losses. Ten hospitals in the regions reported margins above 10%.The Fairview Health system, now including the four HealthEast hospitals, improved its net income from$138.2 million to$206.4 million , while the Allina hospitals inthe Twin Cities improved their average margin from 3% to 7.4%. TheHealthPartners hospitals, especially Methodist, enjoyed higher net income for the second straight year, growing from$102.1 million in 2016 to$136.1 million in 2017. - Inpatient hospital days decreased for
Twin Cities hospitals, the sixth time in the past 10 years. They provided 1.46 million inpatient days, about 450 less than in 2016 and 65,000 less than in 2008. On average, 70.7% of beds were occupied in 2017, up from 69.2% in 2015, but less than 74.5% in 2008. Government programs - Medicare and Medicaid - now cover 68% of inpatient days for these hospitals. That has improved their revenues and reduced their uninsured patient admissions but makes them especially vulnerable to proposed reductions in government funding. - In outstate
Minnesota , hospitals improved their net income from$1.013 billion in 2016 to$1.298 billion in 2017, and their average margins grew from 8.9%to 10.9%. TheMayo Clinic hospitals in the state improved their net income from$528.1 million in 2016 to$671.8 $272hospitals declined from 12.5% in 2016 to 11%. CentraCare, which added Rice Memorial hospital in 2018, improved its net income from$14.2 million to$177.3 million . The average margin for the Essential hospitals increased from 2.9% to 8.5%. - Many
Minnesota provider systems participate in Accountable Care or shared savings arrangements with Medicare and Medicaid. However, some systems have struggled to succeed in those arrangements, and Allina and Fairview dropped out of the Medicare Next Generation ACO program. - Blue Plus was the most profitable HMO, with net income of
$130.1 million and a margin of 7% in the first nine months of 2018.Medica Insurance Company , now selling individual, group or Medicare plans in 10 states, had a net income of$272.4 million during that period and a margin of 10.3.%
