Last year Trans Insurance (TI) entered the market and began offering lower cst health insurance to local firms. TI cut benefits offered and told Parkview that it would only a fixed dollar amount ptching per patient. A typical firm could cut its health insuranceIpremium 20% by switching to TI. TI was successful at taking 45 percent of the private insurancve customers. These firms faced stiff competition and sought to cut their health care costs. Parkview management estimated that its revenues would fall 6 percent or $3.2 million next year because of TI's lower reimbursements. Struggling with how to cope dwith lower revenues, Parkview began the complex process pf deciding what programs to cut and what programs to open to offset the revenuews loss.
