Zero-based budgeting for health plans : dealing with uncertainty ahead / Sameer Chowdhary...[Et al.]. — New York : McKinsey & Company, 2020

Sumario: COVID-19 has been linked to dramatic shifts in demand and extreme uncertainty within payer functions, which in turn could lead to bloated administrative spending in 2021. Executives seeking to right size and create variability in their budgets may want to consider a triedand-true formula that has not gained traction in the healthcare world: zero-based budgeting. The upcoming budget cycle, due to start or in the works with many payers this month, is likely to be particularly challenging. Chief financial officers potentially have less information on which to base their budgets due to shifts in drivers of work, which are the units of demand on payer functions. This shift is a problem created by the COVID-19 crisis. For example, ambulatory claims have dropped (and since risen) significantly, and the volatility in claims and call volumes may continue through 2021
