VALUE BASED PURCHASINGMandatory Element of Reform

Value Based Purchasing Overview

• MANDATORY – we have no choice

VBP Example $33,333,333 Medicare Reimbursement

Amount mandated to pay for participation


$300,000


Amount mandated to pay for participation


($200,000)

Value Based Purchasing• Outcomes = Income

• Mandatory Pay for Performance Program– 3,500 hospitals are included in this program across the country

• Reimbursement Determine Two Ways:– Achievement

• How we compare to National Top Decile (350 Hospitals)

– Improvement• How we measure against ourselves• Did we do better than a previously measured baseline period

Value Based Purchasing• Percent of Medicare Reimbursement at Risk

• FY 2013 – 1.00%• FY 2014 – 1.25%• FY 2015 – 1.50%• FY 2016 – 1.75%• FY 2017 – 2.00%• FY 2018 – 2.00%• FY 2019 – 2.00%

• FY 20xx – refers to the Federal Fiscal Year (Oct. 1 – Sep. 30) when DRG payments will be affected

NEW MEASURESValue Based Purchasing

VBP FY 2016 – New Measures• Patient Experience

– No Change – Same HCAHPS Measures

• Core Measures– 5 Dropped; 1 New

• Outcomes– 3 New Measures

• Efficiency– No Change

VBP – FY 2016 – Patient Experience• HCAHPS

– Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers Survey

– An engagement survey CMS has mandated each hospital give to every discharged inpatient

– Consists of 27 questions that lead to the 8 categories assessed for VBP

– Patients score each question on scale of 4

– For answers to count, patients must give hospitals a score of 4 or “Always”

VBP FY 2016 – Patient Experience

• Communication with Nurses

• Communication with Doctors

• Responsiveness of Hospital Staff

• Pain Management

• Communication about Medicines

• Cleanliness and Quietness of Hospital

• Discharge Information

• Overall Rating of Hospital

VBP FY 2016 - Efficiency• Medicare Spend Per Beneficiary (MSPB)

– Captures total Medicare Spending Per Beneficiary relative to a hospital stay, bundling hospital sources (Part A) with post acute care (Part B)

– Bundles the cost of care delivered to a beneficiary for an episode across the continuum of care:

• 3 Days Prior

• Hospital Inpatient Stay

• 30 Days post Discharge

PROPOSED MSPB Measures

• Additional Efficiency Measures proposed to be added

• Risk Adjusted similarly to MSPB• Proposed to facilitate alignment with the Physician

READMISSION REDUCTION PROGRAM

Mandatory Element of Reform

Readmission Reduction Program• 9% of Current and Future Medicare Reimbursement at Risk

– 3% penalty of Medicare Reimbursement at risk each program year– Measured Populations 30 days from DISCHARGE

• AMI, HF, PN, COPD, THA & TKA

• August 2014: CABG Added to FY 2017• Performance Periods: 3 Year Rolling Program

– FY’15: July 1, 2010 – June 30, 2013 – 3%– FY’16: July 1, 2011 – June 30, 2014 – 3%– FY’17: July 1, 2012 – June 30, 2015 – 3% – FY’18: July 1, 2013 – June 30, 2016 – 3%– FY’19: July 1, 2014 – June 30, 2017 – 3%

Currently participating in 3 performance periods simultaneously

How are Readmissions Measured?• Scoring Index based at 1.0• Calculate Excess Readmission Ratio

• Excess Readmission Ratio > 1 = BAD• Excess Readmission Ratio < 1 = GOOD

Bundled Payments

Advantages of Participation

• Improved quality of care for patients– Reduced complications, readmissions, and cost

• Improved ability to work with hospitals, physicians, nursing homes, home health, rehab centers, and other providers to improve overall care quality and service

• Potential competitive advantage within market with physicians and post-acute care

• Opportunity to receive payment aligned with these goals and based on outcomes

MEDICARE: Cohort 1 COMMERCIAL as of July 2014

Where are the Bundled Payments?

Early Results of BPCI Cohort 2• Tremendous increase in the

number of applications in the most recent open enrollment in April 2014: Nearly Triple!

• Models 2,3,4 were open for enrollment

• Currently in the Phase 1 period which is the non risk, decision making period. Phase 2 is when the Episode Initiator starts to accept risk

Cost Savings Gainshare models to have been submitted and approved by CMS at this time

APPROVED

In February 2014, CMMI issued a Request for Information on a new bundled payment program to expand to outpatient.

Focus is Specialty Physicians and on

(1) Procedures and (2) complex chronic care

• Highlighted colonoscopy, cataract surgery, & radiation therapy for procedural options.

• Regarding the chronic care, “CMS is considering development of a model that would incentivize specialists to more efficiently manage the care provided to beneficiaries with complex or chronic medical conditions over the period of time that corresponds to the specialty practitioner’s long term involvement with managing the beneficiary’s care.”

• Was seeking responses until March 13

Outpatient Bundling…coming soon?

Outpatient Bundling• Referred to by CMS as: “Comprehensive Ambulatory

Payment Classification (APC)”

• Finalized in the CY 2014 OPPS/ASC Final Rule

• Affect payments to 4,000 hospitals and 5,300 ASC’s

• Delayed implementation to January 1, 2015 instead of the traditional outpatient October 1 implementation date

– Extra time allowed the Agency, hospitals, and physicians more time to evaluate and comment on the policy

Outpatient Bundling – Comprehensive APC’s• Single Medicare payment rather than individual APC payments

throughout the episode

• 28 Bundled Outpatient Procedures

• Proposed Payment could include all hospital services reported on the claim covered under Medicare Part B for up to a proposed 6 Month Period

– Few exceptions resulting in a single beneficiary copayment per claim

Outpatient Bundling – Summary• Comprehensive APC is another step towards CMS establishing

a Prospective Payment Model for OPPS

• Goal: eliminate avoidable costs and increase shared decision making

• Healthcare stakeholders who have been on the sidelines for recent CMS pilots and existing programs will not have this luxury as CMS expands their delivery and payment reform portfolio in the upcoming calendar year
