4 Value-Based Purchasing (VBP): Rampant Goal Setting Underway! This is the first time in the history of our program that explicit goals for alternative payments and value-based payments have been set for Medicare. Sylvia Mathews Burwell Secretary of Health and Human Services January 26, 2015 State Medicaid programs and commercial payers are jumping into the value-based arena as well HDG Health & Human Services Goals for VBP Medicare fee-for-service (FFS) payments linked to quality and alternative payment models in 2016 and 2018 targets All Medicare FFS (Categories 1 4) FFS linked to quality (Categories 2 4) Alternative payment models (Categories 3 4) % 50% 85% 90% Source: HDG Health Dimensions Group 4

8 New Companies Emerge to Convene Risk Taking Under Bundling Navigator and bundler of postacute services Accepts financial risk through capitated contracts from health plans; bundled payment arrangements with hospitals/health systems and CMS Manages patients and risk via robust predictive analytics tools, proprietary patient assessment tools that match patient characteristics to resource needs, and field-based case managers who serve as resources to facility staff Develops/manages bundled payments programs in partnership with hospitals, physician groups, health systems, skilled nursing facilities, and home health agencies Operates the nation s largest bundled payment program, with 22 live programs and more than 500 in development HDG Bundling Creates Opportunities and Challenges HDG Health Dimensions Group 8

9 Post-acute Care Plays a Key Role in Medicare Expenditures Medicare Acute Hospital Discharges 43% Sent to Post-acute Skilled Nursing 41% Home Health 37% Acute Rehab 10% Outpatient 9% With the bulk of post-hospital patients, SNF & HHA represent key settings for controlling total costs and managing outcomes Health systems often have limited control of costs and outcomes sent to non-affiliated post-acute settings LTACH 2% HDG 2015 Source: MedPAC Testimony, Source: HDG Health Dimensions Group 9

10 Nearly Half of Hospitalizations of Elderly May Be Preventable Concerns about legal liability & regulatory sanctions for attempting to manage acute illnesses in nonhospital setting Medicare reimbursement policies for hospitals, NH, HHA & physicians Patient & family preferences ED time pressures & availability of communitybased care options after ED discharge Source: Measurement of Potentially Preventable Hospitalizations White Paper Prepared for Long- Term Quality Alliance, K. Maslow and J. G. Ouslander, MD, February 2012 Availability of diagnostic & pharmacy services in home & LTC institutional settings Availability of trained MDs, NPs, PAs, RNs & PCAs in home & LTC institutional settings Availability of individual patient advance care plans & physician orders for palliative or hospice care HDG Challenge: Costs Vary by Initial Setting Average Medicare Episode Payment for MS-DRG 291 (CHF) by First-PAC-Setting for 30-day Fixed-length Episodes ( ) $45,293 $33,295 Overall Average = $14,928 $20,318 $23,679 $13,470 $12,388 HHA SNF IRF LTCH STACH Community Notes: Dobson DaVanzo analysis of research-identifiable 5% SAF for all sites of service, , wage index adjusted by setting and geographic region, and standardized to 2009 dollars Source: Dobson, A., et al.

11 Challenge: Too Many Downstream Providers Example of downstream network for one Texas hospital for congestive heart failure and joint replacement: 59 downstream post-acute providers for CHF 218 downstream post-acute providers for joint replacement DRG HHA SNF IRF LTCH 291: Heart failure & shock w MCC : Major joint replacement or reattachment of lower extremity w/o MCC Total (All MS-DRGs) Source: Dobson DaVanzo analysis of 100% Medicare Claims data July 2009 to June 2012 In 2008, North Shore-LIJ started from a list of 266 SNFs and created a continuing care network (CCN) of 19 SNFs (Source: HFMA) HDG Challenge: Infrastructure for VBP Not There Yet Needs include: Robust exchange of diagnostic and other clinical information across settings in real time through interoperable EMRs Is this admission an ACO or bundled patient? Health information exchanges (HIEs) struggling to achieve scale Readily accessible and uniform administrative data (claims & patient assessment data) as well as quality metrics Federal IMPACT Act will help address this problem, but help needed at state level HDG Health Dimensions Group 11

12 VBP Landscape Summary VBP is both a challenge and an opportunity High-performing providers will get in preferred networks based on quality and cost; others may get left out Avoiding hospitalizations is a major area of opportunity Medicare has developed know-how and data infrastructure and will accelerate VBP implementation; other payers are already following suit Policies that are impediments to VBP will be changed Scale matters certain markets will reach a tipping point quicker than others due to interactive effect of payment initiatives and providers ability to scale their care redesign HDG Not Taking Risk May No Longer Be an Option HDG Health Dimensions Group 12

13 Medicare Bundling Fundamentals Bundled Payments for Care Improvement (BPCI) HDG 2015 Medicare Bundled Payments for Care Improvement (BPCI) Initiative Established as three-year, voluntary demonstration program by Center for Medicare & Medicaid Innovation (CMMI) Four models to choose from: Specifications vary by model, with upfront discounts of 2% 3% depending on model type and episode length Most attention has been focused on Model 2 (hospital initiated) and Model 3 (post-acute initiated) Opportunity for providers, including physician group practices (PGPs), to directly take risk as well HDG Health Dimensions Group 13

14 Medicare s BPCI Initiative Types of Services Included in Bundle Model 1 Acute Hospital Stay Only Model 2 Acute Hospital + Post-Acute Model 3 Post-Acute Care Only Model 4 Acute Hospital Stay + Readmissions Inpatient hospital and physician services Related post-acute care services Related readmissions Other services defined in bundle (Medicare Parts A & B) Target to performance payment Retrospective Retrospective Retrospective Prospective HDG Bundles Occur for Diagnostic Categories Over an Episode Diagnostic categories selected from one of 48 possible diagnostic categories Major Joint replacement of the Lower Extremity has been the most popular so far Episodes are 30, 60, or 90 days in length Commence with episode initiating anchor admission Base period target price is compared to performance period expenditures on an apples-to-apples basis Reconciliation occurs after the fact HDG Health Dimensions Group 14

15 Model 2 Versus Model 3 Model 2 Bundle Holder/At-risk Entity = Hospital Initiated by hospital with hospital admission Episode- Initiating Hospital Admission PAC Services Physician Services Model 3 Readmissions Other Services* Initiated by SNF/HHA admission after hospital discharge Episode- Initiating PAC Service Bundle Holder/At-risk Entity = PAC Provider Other PAC Services Physician Services Readmissions Other Services* Note: Bundle holders may put in place contracts with downstream providers in which they share both financial risk and reward for episodes * Includes Part B drugs, hospital outpatient services, DME, and laboratory services, hospice and unrelated conditions excluded HDG Model 2 and Model 3 Bundling Are Virtual Programs In Models 2 and 3 bundling, no money changes hands upfront All providers are paid through regular fee-for-service rules and coverage criteria Bundling is a retrospective calculation where actual fee-for-service expenditures for each quarterly performance period are compared to target prices with an upfront discount HDG Health Dimensions Group 15

16 Bundlers Can No Longer Add Diagnostic Groups After October 1, 2015 Applications were required April 2014 Awardees needed to enter risk January, April, or July 2015 Last opportunity to add clinical episodes was October 1, 2015 CMS has indicated that another round of bundling is possible after evaluation of current participants HDG CMS Recently Released Critical Bundling Growth Information CMS announced that 2,115 organizations are participating in BPCI by accepting risk as of July 1, 2015 Up from 214 organizations in first round of bundling, represents a ten-fold increase 4,500 providers who had applied did not opt to move forward The 2,115 participating organizations consist of 360 awardees (entity that has signed a risk contract with CMS) with 2,046 episode-initiating providers: Episode initiator breakdown: 423 hospitals; 1,071 SNFs; 441 PGPs; 101 HHAs; 9 IRFs; 1 LTCH 69 of the 360 awardees are not providers (e.g., Remedy Partners) HDG 2015 Source: CMS Health Dimensions Group 16

18 Defined Population Beneficiary must be eligible for Part A and be enrolled in Part B Beneficiary must not: Qualify for Medicare solely through ESRD Be enrolled in any managed care plan Beneficiary must have had an applicable anchor inpatient hospital admission Beneficiaries must be informed about bundling and may opt out of care redesign activities, but will still be included in bundling reconciliations if otherwise eligible HDG Bundlers Must Select Diagnostic Families in Advance (48 Possible) Diagnostic Families (aka Clinical Episodes) Percentage of At-Risk Model 2 Bundlers Major joint replacement of the lower extremity 86% Congestive heart failure 34% Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, bronchitis, asthma 25% Simple pneumonia and respiratory infections 21% Hip and femur procedures except major joint 18% Revision of the hip or knee 16% Coronary artery bypass graft 15% Acute myocardial infarction 15% Lower extremity and humerus procedure except hip, foot, femur 13% Double joint replacement of the lower extremity 12% Removal of orthopedic devices 12% Stroke 12% Sepsis 12% These percentages will likely change as more bundlers move to risk in 2015 HDG Health Dimensions Group 18

19 Services Included in Target Prices and Performance Period Claims Inpatient hospital services (Model 2 only) Post-acute care services SNF HHA IRF LTACH Inpatient hospital readmission services Physicians services DME Clinical laboratory services Outpatient services Part B drugs Exclusions for: Unrelated conditions for each diagnostic condition Part D drugs Hospice claims HDG Key Points About Included/Excluded Services Definition of related services to anchor hospital admission is broad Onset of cancer or car accident are typical examples of unrelated conditions Even though hospice services are not included in bundling, advance care planning, palliative care, and hospice services are important elements of care redesign Effect of extremely costly episodes is adjusted downward through an outlier mechanism HDG Health Dimensions Group 19

20 Target Price Based on Bundler s Own Historical Experience Each bundler s episodic target prices for a diagnostic family derived from their own episodic experience from July 1, 2009, to June 30, 2012: Episodes with low volumes are based on statewide averages, in whole or in part Target prices are inflated to the performance period by trend factors based on national average growth rates that reflect changes in prices and care practices Differences in wages over time are factored in to the target prices Target prices are discounted by 2% to 3% depending on the model type and episode length Use of national average growth rates to inflate target prices means that even favorable prices may erode over time, rewarding early adopters HDG Target Price for Each Diagnosis Is Compared to Actual Expenditures Reconciliations are quarterly and start 6 months after end of episode; adjusted up to 3 additional quarters as additional claims filed Target Price Quarter 1, Patient 1 Quarter 1, Patient 2 Quarter 1 Total Reconciliation $19,000 (base period costs) less CMS 3% discount Actual fee-for-service spending during episode Amount to be paid back to CMS at reconciliation Actual fee-for-service spending during episode Amount of gain to bundler at reconciliation Net amount to be gained by/(paid back from) bundler $18,400 $20,000 ($1,600) $15,000 $3,400 $1,800 HDG Health Dimensions Group 20

21 Important Bundling Details Risk (and opportunity) can be mitigated for bundlers by the selection of more conservative risk tracks and through the outlier mechanism When multiple bundlers are operating in the same market for the same diagnostic categories, CMS has precedence rules to determine pecking order CMS Precedence Rules HDG Waivers Under Bundling May Offer Opportunities for Post-acute Providers Modification of three-day qualifying stay for Medicare SNF Allows SNF coverage for one- or two-day prior acute stay for Model 2 bundlers Post-discharge home visits Allows billable visits monthly throughout episode which can be delegated by physicians to other clinicians Telehealth Waives geographic restrictions on telehealth providing that all other Medicare coverage requirements apply HDG Health Dimensions Group 21

22 CMS Permits Medicare Beneficiary to Be in Bundling and ACO at Same Time CMS policy is to only pay once for savings, so it has decided to recoup duplicate savings from the bundler when those savings have been achieved for a beneficiary also enrolled in an ACO that has achieved its savings target Duplicate recovery from bundlers is modest and generally should not dissuade bundlers from developing win-win relationships with ACOs Bundlers can be instrumental in helping ACOs achieve their shared savings targets HDG Gainsharing in Bundling Context: Expansion Will Take Time Gainsharing in a bundling context is executed through waivers and may become more widespread as bundling grows Policy on gainsharing is rapidly evolving as alternate payment approaches flourish In general, gainsharing arrangements must: Have strong quality component, preferably using evidence-based guidelines Not be created to directly or indirectly induce referrals Not harm the beneficiary October 3, 2014 Federal Register HDG Health Dimensions Group 22

23 Early Results: Model 2 Bundling Is Changing PAC Relationships & Use Model 2 hospitals and PGPs forming new partnerships with PAC providers by: Discussing quality with PAC providers likely to receive their patients, even if providers not contractually involved in bundling Identifying higher quality providers for preferred list, although they must maintain patient choice Use of institutional PAC (SNF, LTACH, IRF) after the acute care stay fell from 66% to 47% of episodes; use of HHA after acute care stayed about the same Total spending for episodes with PAC fell in comparison to base period by more than comparison group (episodes without PAC stayed about the same) Source: CMS Bundled Payments for Care Improvement (BPCI) Initiative Models 2-4: Year 1 Evaluation & Monitoring HDG 2015 Annual Report, The Lewin Group, February Comprehensive Care for Joint Replacement Model (CCJR) HDG Health Dimensions Group 23

32 Identify Bundlers and Approach Them with Your Value Proposition Identify all hospitals and physician group practices in your local market & which diagnoses are being bundled (at risk) or subject to reimbursement penalties and put forward your value proposition in three key areas: Ability to Manage Readmissions Capabilities to manage the patient aggressively in situ, including telemonitoring and medical management strategies Patient Outcomes (Versus Inputs) Relative to Peers Performance better than your peer group on key outcomes such as functional status relative to therapy provided Episodic Management Capabilities Capacity to manage seamlessly across multiple settings and effectively communicate with the at-risk entity HDG Summing It Up: Transition to Bundling Requires Careful Navigation Requires real-time knowledge of who is in a bundle, ACO, Medicare Advantage, or FFS upon admission and Broad-based application of care redesign and targeted interventions to those who are at higher risk of poor outcome all the way through the episode Knowledge of pertinent quality metrics of downstream providers in comparison to peers is crucial HDG Health Dimensions Group 32

33 Value-Based Transformation Checklist Become highly knowledgeable about value-based payment transformation occurring in your market Obtain data and develop analytic capacity to support articulation of your organization s value proposition Undergo clinical and operational transformation by implementing standardized care pathways and protocols for reduction of avoidable hospitalizations Engage referring health systems and at-risk payers Define path to implement VBP arrangements for the majority of your payers HDG Success Will Be Defined by Delivering Quality Outcomes and Value Presentation Title HDG Health Dimensions Group 33
