The March 98 NYS medical society newsletter reported of a survey by Health Care Assocition of NY. Below is partial reproduction of New York HMO survey: Oxford HIP Aetna Blue Choice Ind. Health Enrollment 1142K 728K 700K 539K 426K Market share 17.7% 11.3% 10.8% 8.3% 6.6% Premium PMPM $169 $161 $137 $114 $103 MLR 87% 93% 78% 96% 92% Admn. exp.ratio 11% 9% 12% 6% 10% Net income PMPM $3 -1 9 -2 0 My conclusion: Based on the survey Oxford is making 3x1,142,800x12=$41MM annually on NY enrollment. Oxford's stats are inferior to those of Aetna's. My understanding is that Oxford's service is superior to that of Aetna's. Oxford is working very hard to reduce overheads. It seems premium increase is touchy issue. 71 page report is available through Health Care Association of NYS at 518 431 7600. Premier
