Insurance and Managed Care Market Scope and Segmentation      

Market Definition

Managed care plans are a type of health insurance contract with healthcare providers and medical facilities to provide patients with hospital care at a lower cost. These providers build the managed care network, which determines how much patients' planned care will cost. Managed care is primarily intended to reduce unnecessary health care costs through various mechanisms such as incentives for physicians and patients to choose less expensive forms of care, programmes for reviewing medical relevance for specific services, increased beneficiary cost sharing, controls on inpatient admissions and stay time, and the implementation of cost-sharing incentives for outpatient surgery.

Global Insurance and Managed Care Market Dynamics

Drivers

• Increasing cost of medical services

Health insurance provides financial assistance for a serious illness or accident. The rising cost of medical services such as surgeries and hospital stays has created a new financial crisis around the world. The cost of medical services includes the cost of surgery, doctor fees, hospital stay costs, emergency room costs, and diagnostic testing costs. As a result, the rise in the cost of medical services drives the market growth.

• Growing number of daycare procedures

Daycare procedures are medical procedures or surgeries that require only a short stay in the hospital. Patients are required to stay in the hospital for a short period of time during the daycare procedure. The majority of health insurance companies now cover daycare procedures in their insurance plans, and there is no requirement to spend 24 hours in the hospital, which is the minimum stay in the hospital to claim insurance. While the majority of health insurance plans cover hospital stays and major surgeries, policyholders can also claim daycare procedures through their health insurance policy, which drives the market demand.

Opportunities

• Advantages of health insurance policies

Global health spending is increasing at a faster rate. According to a World Health Organization (WHO) report, global health spending is rising. Over the last two decades, global health spending has more than doubled, reaching USD 8.5 trillion in 2019, or 9.8% of global GDP. It was, however, unequally distributed, with high-income countries accounting for roughly 80% of global health spending. In low-income countries, health spending was primarily funded by out-of-pocket spending (OOPS; 44%) and external aid (29%), whereas government spending dominated in high-income countries (70%). As a result, rising healthcare costs are expected to create opportunities in the global health insurance market.

Restraints/Challenges

• High cost of insurance premiums

Health insurance covers all types of medical treatment costs. It provides financial support to the policyholder by covering all medical expenses when the policyholder is hospitalized for treatment. Health insurance also covers pre- and post-hospitalization expenses. To keep a health insurance policy active, the policyholder must pay insurance premiums on a regular basis. The cost of insurance premiums is high in the majority of cases, depending on the insurance plan, impeding market growth.

• Lack of experienced professionals

The lack of experienced professionals only attracts generally healthy populations, which will act as a restraint and further challenge the growth of the insurance and managed care market during the forecast period.
