Haha, I bet the exam writers are trying to catch us with some tricky math here. Good thing we're all sharp-minded healthcare professionals, am I right?

Ah, I see what you mean, Carma. The break-even point is where total revenue equals total costs, so we need to set (PMPM revenue * members) = (PMPM variable cost * members) + fixed costs. Solving for members gives us the answer C. 600 members.

Hmm, I'm not so sure. Shouldn't we be looking at the total revenue and total costs to find the break-even point? Let me double-check the calculations.

I think the answer is B. 375 members. The fixed costs are $30,000 and the contribution margin per member is $50 ($80 PMPM - $30 PMPM), so the break-even point would be $30,000 / $50 = 375 members.
