6 Value-Based Care Landscape 6

7 The Transition to Value-Based Care Payment Reform is Here to Stay Leading providers and payers have been increasingly shifting away from feefor-service structures and embracing the transition to value-based care through the adoption of Alternative Payment Models (APMs). CMS is Dedicated to Innovation On September 20 th, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) published a Request for Information Strengthening Medicare and Medicaid will require health-care providers to compete for patients in a free and dynamic market, creating incentives to increase quality and reduce costs CMS announcement promotes: Consumer empowerment and transparency Increased and continuous competition Use of waivers to enable meaningful innovation Commercial Payers are Following 2018 MA membership moving to VBC % Current spend tied to VBC models Payments tied to membership in VBC models: 75% $65B Source: Humana press release, Advisory Board, 7 Health Payer Intelligence,

8 The Transition to Value-Based Care Bundled Payments Drive Success in Concert with Other VBC Models Million Hearts Cardiovascular Disease Risk Reduction Model Independence at Home Demonstration Comprehensive ESRD Care Bundled payments significantly improve care and cost outcomes and can be integrated into other VBC models to drive greater overall efficiencies. Home Health Value-Based Program Bundled Payment for Care Improvement (BPCI) Initiative Medicare Shared Savings Program IMPROVED PATIENT CARE AND COST OUTCOMES Value Modifier Comprehensive Primary Care Plus (CPC+) Skilled Nursing Facility Value-Based Program Merit-Based Incentive Payment System Hospital Readmissions Reduction Program Comprehensive Care for Joint Replacement (CJR) Oncology Care Model Next Generation ACO 8

9 The Transition to Value-Based Care The Evolution of Bundled Payment Programs Launched in 2013, the BPCI program is the largest demonstration program in CMS s history covering $8-10B in Medicare fee-for-service payments. Current BPCI Program Four BPCI models offered through the initiative, with more than 75% of participants selecting Model 2 or 3 Model 2 episodes are initiated by an inpatient admission to an acute care hospital and include related care covered under Part A and Part B within 30, 60 or 90 days following discharge from hospital Model 3 episodes include post-acute care following an inpatient acute care hospital stay and all related care covered under Medicare Part A and Part B within 30, 60 or 90 days following initiation of post-acute services Targeted 181 MS-DRGs rolled into 48 Bundles (24 surgical and 24 medical conditions) CMS Awardee Conveners lower the barrier to entry for provider participation by bearing financial risk and operationalizing program administration Anticipated Enhancements to BPCI Advanced Advanced APM status under MACRA BPCI Providers eligible for 5% MACRA bonus Dependent upon certain percentage of Medicare Patients going through an APM New advanced APM designation for BPCI Continued voluntary participation Bipartisan support for voluntary bundles CMS recently scaled back mandatory CJR and Cardiac programs Quality-based performance measures Complications and mortality statistics Patient satisfaction scores Patient reported outcome metrics (where applicable) 9

10 Skilled Nursing Challenges Remedy Partners understands that Skilled Nursing Facilities (SNFs) are facing a complex market where patient volume and margins are decreasing. Narrowing referral networks Referral streams are decreasing as partners become more selective in which SNFs to send their patients after discharge. SNFs face greater competition for referrals from Home Health Agencies (HHAs) as hospitals push patients to lower cost settings. Downward trend in Length of Stay (LOS) Providers are facing pressure from hospital partners to shorten LOS as much as possible to reduce episode costs while maintaining quality. Declining margins Downward trend in SNF reimbursement rates combined with lower patient census have eroded SNF margins. 10

11 Increasing Growth and Performance with BPCI BPCI allows SNFs to gain a competitive advantage in their markets. Provides an opportunity to increase margins and revenue SNFs can take control of the bundle and assume risk in Model 3, reaping the financial rewards for effectively managing patients across the episode. Positions SNFs for long term success in the post-acute care market CMS is committed to rewarding providers that accelerate value based care. Model 3 SNFs gain a competitive advantage for increasing hospital referrals, Medicare business and census development. Allows SNFs to gain access to valuable CMS data without cost SNFs gain access to their historical data in the Opportunity Analysis phase of BPCI. Remedy Partners analyzes this information at no cost to determine the financial upside for partners. 11

12 Remedy s Model 3 Program 12

13 Our Model 3 Expertise Our expert team utilizes its national expertise and commitment to the SNF market to support provider operations. Largest Model 3 Awardee Convener Remedy Partners is the largest Awardee Convener in the Model 3 program, supporting 400 SNFs. Our scale allows us to finance, structure and deploy bundle payment programs for facilities of varying sizes and geographies with no impact on cash flow. Dedicated Account Management (AM) Team Our account management team focuses on driving operational success with our SNF partners. AMs hold monthly business reviews and provide best practices for managing BPCI operations and meaningful data insights that promote clinical, operational and financial success. Specialized Program Development Our Model 3 project managers utilize data insights to craft specialized programs to improve provider performance based on demand. These programs focus on driving improved care, lowering costs and improving patient satisfaction. 11

14 Remedy Model 3 Outcomes With our solution, providers have been able to improve quality of care while driving down costs. 16.6% Reduction in 90-day episodes with a 30% 25% 20% 15% 10% 5% 0% readmission 2-10% -5% Range of Program Saving Rates by Remedy SNF System 1 1 CMS 2016Q4 Reconciliation results for Q22015-Q42016; due to low volume includes only SNF systems with 3 or more SNFs live in 2018Q1; savings rate calculated as net payment reconciliation amount as a percentage of target spend, not including CMS 3% discount; Includes all true-up results; some quarters not fully reconciled 2 CMS Monthly claims, compares baseline period to 2016 live bundles 14

15 Remedy Model 3 Outcomes We work closely with partners to maintain high program and bundle retention in order to achieve positive financial returns.

28 Next Steps 28

29 CMS Requires indication of interest Remedy s process starts with Non-Binding Letter of Intent (LOI) LOI allows Remedy to include all of your facilities in our application to CMS for BPCI Advanced LOI gives CMS permission to share your claims data and pricing for bundles in your facility with Remedy for analysis on your behalf Non-binding agreement allows you to exit at any time, with no penalties, no fees, no commitments LOI will be followed by Participant Agreement should you want to continue in the program with Remedy 14

30 Success Starts with Selecting the Right Bundles Our unrivaled expertise in bundle selection methodology for SNFs guarantees providers are primed for success. Preliminary Data Review Before CMS delivers your data, we start with Medicare s national dataset of all providers (LDS). Program Opportunity Analysis Early analysis identifies savings, mitigates risk and accounts for your unique strategic, operational and clinical needs. Operational Readiness Assessment This provides an invaluable head start on implementing your program before receiving CMS pricing data. Final Bundle Selection & Submission Remedy Partners will evaluate BPCI bundles against your historical performance to choose the ideal bundles set for your organization. 14

31 Remedy Partner Implementation Workflow Our comprehensive implementation approach ensures SNF providers are ready to execute on their bundles. BPCI Program Structure Education and Configuration Program Management Care Redesign Implementation We finalize bundle selection, program goals and identify BPCI champions so your team is ready to execute on your bundles. During this stage, we educate your staff and key stakeholders on BPCI processes through Remedy University and configure Episode Connect. Your team has direct access to our Model 3 team who will finalize your patient identification program and provide support for your clinical, operational, financial efforts. We work with your team to implement care redesign programs to ensure optimal length of stay and effective discharge programs with Next Site of Care (NSOC) are established. 31
