Delivery Services. Delivery managed care efficiency adjustments were developed by analyzing the percent of cesarean and vaginal deliveries by MCP and region. Vaginal delivery percentages were adjusted to levels achieved by MCP’s with at least 1,000 deliveries in a region, with a minimum assumed percentage of 70%. This analysis resulted in shifting approximately 1% of calendar year 2014 deliveries from cesarean to vaginal. Managed care savings were estimated by evaluating the cost per delivery difference between cesarean and vaginal deliveries. No adjustments were made to the total number of deliveries.
