Is it possible for a non-profit academic hospital to lower healthcare costs to patients locally without bankrupting?
What ideas do you suggest that could be implemented locally to provide cheaper healthcare?
BACKGROUND: I am an MD division chief at an academic non-profit hospital and oversee a staff of ~100 people and collectively provide ~50,000 visits each year (clinic + procedure). I can influence contracting only with buy-in of hospital leadership. The leaders are business minded physicians+nurses+managers and open to good ideas to test out.
How can a hospital / specialty serve patients in the US system at a cheaper cost without playing the insurance, competitive game? Is it even possible to lead out in this arena without just bankrupting the local hospital?

Health Insurance Question?
My partner, unmarried, has insurance through the Marketplace. His plan last year, was roughly $196/Month with a small subsidy. That plan also had a $5500 individual deductible, and an out of pocket of $9500. A few other changes in the plan to note are;
TY (This Year) Primary Care Visit: $30 Specialist Visit: $40 Generic Drugs: $10 Specialty: $75
NY (Next year) Primary Care Visit: $10 Specialist Visit: $20 Generic Drugs: $5 Specialty: $25
His plan is now; $59/Month same subsidy Now I'm confused. How is it possible the same plan had improved so much over last year? I've triple checked that it's the same plan, and it is, just with better benefits. In Michigan if that matters.
Thanks in advance.
