About Dr. Subramaniam Ramanarayanan
Dr. Subramaniam (Subbu) Ramanarayanan is a member of NERA’s Antitrust and Healthcare practices and specializes in the analysis of competitive effects of mergers and acquisitions, evaluation of anticompetitive behaviour as well as analysis of litigation-related issues in healthcare markets. Prior to NERA, Subbu was a member of the faculty at UCLA Anderson School of management where he was an award-winning MBA instructor and taught courses on Business Strategy and modules on Healthcare Strategy to MBA students and Executives.
Subbu has written extensively on the nature of competition in health care markets and its impact on health care costs and quality. Some of his recent academic research has focused on examining the extent to which health insurance premiums are affected by market structure and ownership in the private health insurance industry, as well as investigating the response of outpatient dialysis facilities to being rated on quality. His academic research has been published in some of the leading economics journals, such as the American Economic Review and the Journal of Law and Economics, and has been cited in many mainstream media outlets, such as the Wall Street Journal, The Economist, and the Washington Post. He has also acted as an academic reviewer to many leading journals in the fields of economics and management.
Subbu holds a PhD in managerial economics and strategy from the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University, an MBA from the Indian Institute of Management (Calcutta) where he was a Silver medalist, and a B.Tech. in electrical engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology. Prior to starting graduate school at Northwestern, he worked as a management consultant for McKinsey & Co. in India, where he served clients in retail and health care.
About NERA Economic Consulting
NERA Economic Consulting (www.nera.com) is a global firm of experts dedicated to applying economic, finance, and quantitative principles to complex business and legal challenges. For half a century, NERA’s economists have been creating strategies, studies, reports, expert testimony, and policy recommendations for government authorities and the world’s leading law firms and corporations. We bring academic rigor, objectivity, and real world industry experience to bear on issues arising from competition, regulation, public policy, strategy, finance, and litigation. NERA’s clients value our ability to apply and communicate state-of-the-art approaches clearly and convincingly, our commitment to deliver unbiased findings, and our reputation for quality and independence.
NERA’s Global Health Care Practice covers the full range of litigation, regulatory/reform, public policy, and business strategy questions that arise in this complex industry. Our health economists have analyzed hundreds of mergers involving hospitals, health insurers, physicians, pharmaceuticals, and medical device companies. Many of these mergers have been reviewed by both US and European antitrust authorities. Our litigation experience covers antitrust issues such as monopolization, price fixing, unfair methods of competition, exclusive dealing, and other vertical restraints issues, such as those posed by integrated health care systems. In the area of public policy, our economists in the US and Europe have worked with governments as well as purchasers and providers of health care around the world to create competitive markets, develop alternative administrative strategies, and enact realistic health care reforms that can improve both the efficiency and the fairness of health systems around the world. We have also analyzed such topics as intellectual property protection, parallel trade of pharmaceuticals, and health care. Our work has been used by organizations such as the European Commission, World Trade Organization, and US Trade Representatives to improve the environment for pharmaceutical research and development
Event Synopsis:
Recently, healthcare joint ventures between hospitals and insurance companies have raised the prospect and risk of fraud and abuse. The potential risks include violations of The Sherman Act (anti-trust), Stark Law (Ethics in Patient Referral), Anti-kickback Act, Civil False Claims Act, Civil Monetary Penalties Law, and state corporate medical practice and insurance regulations, among others.
In this two hour live webcast, a notable panel of experts and professionals assembled by The Knowledge Group will provide the audience with an in depth over-view and discussion of the fundamentals of these ventures and updates loaf the latest and most significant regulatory and legal issues of this topic. The panel will help health organizations and insurance companies avoid the common pitfalls and risks surrounding Joint Ventures between Insurance Companies and Hospitals.
