PAUL, Minn.  There's a lot of jockeying for position in the health care market    as medical centers prepare to implement the provisions of the    federal Affordable Care Act.  <\/p>\n<p>    The debate over the law has created a lot of uncertainty in the    market, and many health care providers are responding by    linking with each other to manage the risk.  <\/p>\n<p>    The relationships range from outright mergers and acquisitions    to more flexible relationships, called affiliations.    Rochester-based Mayo Clinic has increasingly affiliated with    smaller medical centers in and out of state through its Mayo    Clinic Care Network.  <\/p>\n<p>    \"I've done more merger affiliations in the last 24 months than    previously done in 23 years\" as a consultant, said James    Berarducci, a health care consultant in Minnesota for global    management firm Kurt Salmon, who has done work for Mayo. \"The    issue now is, this isn't all about merging assets or being    acquired; there are newer, different relationships that are    being created.\"  <\/p>\n<p>    Berarducci's firm has about 100 health care clients. He said    Mayo Clinic's Care Network is a prime example of the newer    relationships.  <\/p>\n<p>    For a negotiated fee, or what Mayo officials call a    subscription, affiliates receive direct access to Mayo's    research and expertise in how to best care for patients. For    example, Mayo doctors can render second opinions within about    two days for an affiliate's particularly complex cases.  <\/p>\n<p>    The network has six affiliates including Altru Health System    and Coburn Cancer Center in Minnesota. It also has affiliates    in Arizona, Michigan and Missouri.  <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Follow this link: <\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/feeds.mpr.org\/~r\/MPR_NewsFeatures\/~3\/zeNYJjQ1SuY\/\" title=\"Amid health care law debate, Mayo expands\">Amid health care law debate, Mayo expands<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> Health Care Reform by Elizabeth Stawicki, Minnesota Public Radio July 10, 2012 Audio player code: ST.
