In healthcare, medical service providers are the factory. If you own a hospital, your goal is to utilize 100% of the hospital’s manufacturing capacity. That means you want every bed in every room occupied. Every imaging machine should be booked to 100% of capacity. Every doctor should be billable 100% of their billable time. An outpatient care center is no different. Filling the urgent care center with patients is no different than a widget manufacturing plant building only sold widgets. Every sold widget that brings you closer to 100% utilization also beings a higher degree of profitability.

There is no incentive for a healthcare manufacturer to reduce the utilization of their manufacturing facilities. Their profit increases when their facility operates at 100% of capacity as do their outpatient surgery facilities, their urgent care facilities, their blood work facilities, their imaging facilities, their dialysis facilities, their vision facilities, and more.

How can you trust your conglomerate healthcare institution to provide you with the tools required to control and reduce your healthcare expense when you know their fiduciary responsibility to their shareholders to maximize ROI and ROI optimization is dependent on 100 utilization of their manufacturing capacity?

There is ZERO incentive for a health insurance company that owns healthcare manufacturing facilities to reduce their utilization as it negatively impacts their profitability. It is this inherent conflict of interest that is driving the consolidation of services in healthcare and simultaneously increasing the cost of healthcare.
