You anticipate that a major insurer will increase the copay from $10 to $20. This insurer covers 80,000 visits per year. If the expectation is that visits will decrease 25%, what is your forecast of the change in the number of visits?
Select one:
a. Visits will decrease by 10,000.
b. Visits will decrease by 16,000.
c. Visits will decrease by 40,000.
d. Visits will decrease by 20,000.
Given that :
Insurers will increase copay from $10 to $20.
Visits per year = 80,000 people
Expectation= increase in price will lead to 25% decrease in visits.
Hence , visits will decrease by 25% on total number of normal visit.
Visits decrease by = total visit × percentage of decrease, (80,000×25%)
Visits decrease by = 20,000 people
