Case Studies from the FMMA
Proof that Free-Market Medicine Works
Across the United States, efforts at implementing free market principles in healthcare are having astounding results.
From ambulatory surgery centers and direct primary care clinics to third-party administrators and health share facilitation, it’s impossible to deny that this approach simply works. Patients, employers and providers alike have all become major proponents of free-market medicine and the FMMA.
"Direct contracting and bundled pricing has created much needed upfront price transparency. It takes the mystique out of the billing and claims process; and best of all, has saved our employees and self-funded plan quite a bit of money."
"In our first year (with free market healthcare), our Stop Loss Carrier projects our plan costs will decline another 21% – that’s a massive testament to free market healthcare."
"Our Health Plan costs for 2023 are projected to total $626 PEPM. Our health plan costs haven’t been in the $600 PEPM range in five years. We see the aggressive pursuit of free-market providers and contracts – and their strong member advocacy – as the big differentiator."
Auto Dealership
"Members RAVED about getting diabetic medical supplies through free-market healthcare; they now have a better quality of life and are able to manage their diabetes more often."
Independent School District
"With major imaging usually going towards a patient deductible, most people in south Texas just didn’t have the imaging completed. Now that free-market healthcare is available to them, with MRI and CT scans that they have been putting off for years, they are now able to get the care they need through the free-market healthcare."
