Sounds about right.

Bill Balhof is a great guy but I would not trust any of the nuns in charge as far as I could spit.

I assume BRAF was somehow involved in the frickery.

There are two on the board - the rest is all laity

Everything about OLOL is trash & the fact that they are buying out all the PCP’s around sucks
I lost my 20+ year PCP, she sold out to them & instantly regretted it, left after a year & moved away

The overlapping care conundrum needs solid gentleman's agreements that are hard to come by in modern business. Very few sectors have the type of benevolence to their fellow companies that prevent direct competition in most sectors this would be considered anti-capitalistic. One of the most interesting ones is what the German big 3 had with Porsche for years where they did not produce sports cars and limited their cars to a maximum speed of 155 mph.

OLOL = Charity Hospital filled with Medicaid trash

“yet again”? That might imply that at some point the frickery stopped. No, that organization has been on a downward slide for a loooong time.
Spirit of Stealing™?

Has happened to multiple PCPs in the area

When OLOL became the new charity/welfare hospital, it went to shite fast.

This is what happens when hospital administrators take over and doctors are kicked off the boards

It’s a little one sided, no?
MBPCC is one of many cancer centers that recently severed ties with its network because they were recruited to join OneOncology. OLOL saw that happening and very clearly tried to stop that (which is strategically the right move) and now are developing a new cancer center, which is again the right move given the circumstances.
The Board Chair of MBPCC is clearly upset given his highly dramatic and likely embellished letter. But they had to expect that OLOL wouldn’t just sit on their hands while they left to join a Nashville-based group. He shouldn’t act surprised that OLOL responds by gearing up for their own in-house group for that specific purpose.

Typical business dealings with FMOLHS

Only way they could stay in business.
Obamacare electronic records mandate and related Medicare/Medicaid red tape meant you needed a full IT department and infrastructure to comply, especially considering the mess that software was for the first ~decade of it's existence.
No compliance, no reimbursements from any government funded plan, and difficulty staying in-network with the big private insurers.
There are 3rd party software options now, but too late for those PCP's and other small groups that already sold out.
Which is why so many of the docs that managed to stay independent went cash-only/ concierge. Or at least make it patient's responsibility to submit their claim for direct reimbursement.
Or specialties already not typically covered by insurance anyway, like plastic surgery or cosmetic focused dermatology.

Headline is a little shitty, being they excluded something rather important:
“Tom Adamek, who has been simultaneously serving as board chair of the Mary Bird Perkins Cancer Center and also Our Lady of the Lake Foundation, resigned from the foundation board today, as tensions between OLOL and MBPCC erupted into a free-for-all.”
Simply referring to him as the OLOL Foundation Chair seems intentional

Can y’all not degrade our healthcare heroes on here?

Chairman of the board at MBPCC blames OLOL for split, shocking. Truth is likely somewhere in the middle as usual
Posted on 10/7/21 at 8:03 am to NewOrleansBlend
This article is very skewed by a butthurt board member of an organization that made a bad business decision. Take a look at MBP history, they have been booted from some other hospital systems around the state as well due to them being very difficult to work with.
