2 Purpose HealthInsight Nevada is one of seven organizations across the nation selected by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) to lead the Initiative to Reduce Avoidable Hospitalizations among Nursing Facility Residents. The statewide initiative, Admissions and Transitions Optimization Program (ATOP), is testing models to improve quality of care and reduce avoidable hospitalizations in 24 of Nevada s Medicare-Medicaid-certified eligible nursing facilities by As an Enhanced Care and Coordination Provider (ECCP), HealthInsight Nevada has provided clinical education and supplemental staff to the 24 nursing facilities participating in Phase 1 of the model. Under this second phase, CMS has selected six ECCPs to partner with long-term care (LTC) facilities and practitioners to implement and test a new payment model. Phase 2 will be implemented in a manner consistent with meeting CMS s objectives of the initiative s first phase: 1. Reduce the frequency of avoidable hospital admissions and readmissions 2. Improve resident health outcomes 3. Improve the process of transitioning between inpatient hospitals and LTC facilities 4. Reduce overall health care spending without restricting access to care or choice of providers Timeline Project Period: March 21, 2016 Oct. 23, 2020 Anticipated Payment Reform Eligibility: Oct. 1, 2016 Page 1
3 Long-Term Care (LTC) Facility Eligibility In order to be eligible to apply, LTC facilities must have participated in the initiative during the initial phase. To continue participation in the initiative, a facility must meet the following criteria: Regulatory and Demographic Criteria: (Facility status as of Aug. 27, 2015) 1. Not be on the CMS list of Special Focus Facilities 2. Be Medicare- and Medicaid-certified and not excluded from participation in the Medicare or Medicaid programs CMS retains the right to waive or modify any of these requirements. Eligible Beneficiaries The eligible beneficiary population for this initiative is defined as beneficiaries who meet the following criteria: 1. Have resided in the LTC facility for 101 cumulative days or more starting from the resident s date of admission to the LTC facility 2. Enrolled in Medicare (Part A and Part B FFS) and Medicaid, or Medicare (Part A and Part B FFS) only 3. Have not opted out of participating in the initiative 4. Reside in a Medicare- or Medicaid-certified LTC facility bed 5. Are NOT enrolled in a Medicare managed care plan (e.g., Medicare Advantage) 6. Have not elected Medicare hospice Practitioner Eligibility In order for practitioners (i.e. MD, NP, PA) to participate, they must follow the below criteria: Page 2
4 1. Have carried an average panel (daily census of beneficiaries) of at least seven long-stay FFS Medicare beneficiaries in the affiliated participating LTC facility over the most recent six months 2. Have all licensure and certification in good standing 3. Not have had any sanctions, indictments, probations, corrective action plans or judgments imposed in the last three years relating to fraudulent or abusive billing practices 4. Not be excluded from participation in the Medicare or Medicaid programs 5. ECCPs shall give preference to recruiting practitioners who use technology to support interoperable health information exchange (for example, use technology that supports the creation and exchange of electronic care plans and creation and exchange of interoperable transition of care summary documents) Practitioner Letter of Intent As part of the application process, practitioners must submit a letter of intent to participate. CMS is open to exploring methods that reduce the burden associated with collecting and submitting practitioner letters of intent, while still ensuring practitioners fully understand and meet the criteria for participation. CMS will ultimately approve the practitioners that participate after reviewing their qualifications. The letter of intent should clearly state that if the practitioner were selected and approved for participation, he/she would adhere or attest to the following (at a minimum): 1. An attestation that the practitioner meets all the regulatory and demographic criteria stated above 2. A statement agreeing to adhere to the requirements and qualifying criteria to receive payment under this initiative 3. A statement agreeing to participate with the learning community for the Initiative (e.g., attend events and webinars) 4. A statement agreeing to respond to requests from CMS or its contractors for the purposes of oversight, monitoring or evaluation Page 3
5 o This may include requests to participate in conference calls, submit data, conduct chart reviews, conduct site visits and/or participate in surveys (phone or internet). 5. A statement committing to make the best available decisions for care for beneficiaries at all times regardless of payments received through the initiative o There shall be no withholding of care or services in lieu of payments. 6. For practitioners already partnering with ECCPs through Phase One of the initiative, a statement committing to continue to partner with the ECCP on all relevant aspects of the clinical interventions o This includes regular communication, coordinating care, adhering to previous commitments or agreements, or any other activities that are part of the original ECCP s intervention design. 7. The practitioner s average panel (daily census of beneficiaries) of long-stay FFS Medicare beneficiaries in the corresponding participating LTC facility over the most recent six months 8. A statement agreeing to apply the payment model under this initiative exclusively to the target population 9. A statement of the practitioner s commitment to meeting and maintaining the above criteria through the end of the initiative (we note that a practitioner s ability to meet the demographic criteria of an average panel of seven residents in the target population over the most recent six months may be outside of the practitioner s control and may fluctuate throughout the period of performance, so CMS will address these fluctuations on a case by case basis) 10. A statement regarding whether the practitioner uses an ONC-certified EHR and whether the practitioner uses health IT for care planning or the creation and exchange of transition of care documents 11. A commitment to promptly communicate any changes in the practitioner s information to the ECCP and CMS or its contractors (change of ownership, TIN, NPI, CCN, etc.) Page 4
6 Readiness Assessment In addition to the eligibility criteria, LTC facilities also must provide documentation that they can enhance the prevention of the conditions and administer the necessary treatments at any time. This will be verified through the readiness review process prior to allowing LTC facilities to participate. The readiness review requirements include: Prevention Criteria: 1. The adherence to the conditions of participation and adoption of best practices related to prevention of the six targeted conditions 2. The implementation of a structured tool for identifying early signs of a potential change in a beneficiary s condition that would require additional monitoring or other activities to prevent an acute change in condition 3. The creation of facility-wide policy and procedure that defines the process to be followed to prevent acute changes in condition (e.g. using the tools and guidelines referenced above) o Policies and procedures should specifically identify, but not be limited to, the six targeted conditions. Policies and procedures must also describe the facility s process to transfer a beneficiary to the hospital (e.g., when the beneficiary cannot be safely treated in the facility, upon the physician s orders, at the beneficiary s or health care proxy s discretion). 4. LTC facilities must submit a sample or copy of the tool(s) to be used, evidence that all appropriate staff has been trained, and a copy of the policy and procedures Treatment Criteria: 1. Twenty-four-hour availability (phone or in-person) by LTC facility key staff (medical director, administrator, director of nursing, RN manager, etc.) and attending practitioners (MP, NP, PA) with RN onsite 24 hours per day preferred 2. The ability to start and maintain parenteral (e.g., IV, hypodermoclysis) medications and fluids 24 hours a day for eligible beneficiaries by a certified staff member on all units o LTC facilities may also contract with external companies licensed to furnish some of these services in the LTC facility (e.g., LTC pharmacy). 3. The ability to address complex wounds through debridement, high frequency dressing changes, cleansing and antibiotics (LTC facility or external consultant) Page 5
7 4. The ability to furnish respiratory and bronchodilator therapy, and oxygen 24 hours per day 5. The ability to furnish EKGs and access to a clinician (e.g., external consultant) to read and interpret EKGs within two hours (e.g. via letter of agreement stating availability and response time) 6. The implementation and use of a structured tool to document and communicate a resident s change in condition, including hospital transfers (INTERACT, AMDA tools, etc.) o Note: Separate from this, LTC facilities may need to complete the MDS assessment for beneficiaries experiencing a significant change in condition, in accordance with prevailing MDS requirements. 7. Information and specifications of telemedicine system (if applicable) 8. Information and specifications related to the health IT used to support assessments, care planning and/or health information exchange at times of transitions in care Payment Reform Components 1. Payments to a SNF under Medicare Part B for the treatment of qualifying conditions (for beneficiaries not on a covered Medicare Part A SNF stay) 2. Increased practitioner payments under Medicare Part B for the treatment of conditions onsite at the LTC facility 3.

The confirmation of the qualifying diagnosis and the prescription of treatment by the attending practitioner o This confirmation must include an in-person evaluation by a practitioner or a qualifying telemedicine assessment with minimum system requirements as determined by CMS by the end of the second day after the change in condition. 2. The in-person practitioner evaluation is a separately billable service and not included in the onsite acute care payment 3. The LTC facility may also need to complete a Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment for a significant change in condition (not included in the onsite acute care payment). Page 10
12 Note: This visit by the practitioner is not included in the onsite acute care payment. If billed separately by a non-eccp practitioner (e.g. attending physician), it is billed separately by the practitioner. ECCP practitioners (e.g. NPs) may conduct the visit to confirm the diagnosis to qualify the LTC facility for payment. In this case, Medicare is not billed (consistent with the terms and conditions of the initiative), but ECCPs are required to provide comparable information to CMS in lieu of a claim. Practitioner Payment Treatment First visit assessment: Approximately $70 increase Nurse practitioners and physician assistants are reimbursed at 85 percent of the physician fee schedule amount. When a practitioner sees a beneficiary in the LTC facility for an acute change in condition, the practitioner would be paid for the service at the equivalent of an acute hospital initial visit code. This code could only be used for the first visit in an LTC facility in response to a beneficiary who has experienced an acute change in condition (to confirm and treat the diagnosed conditions). Subsequent visits would be billable at current rates using existing codes. In conjunction with the visit, the LTC facility may also need to complete a corresponding MDS assessment for a significant change in condition. A practitioner may bill for the acute nursing facility care service even if the service is furnished because a LTC facility suspects that a beneficiary has one of the six targeted conditions, but upon examination it turns out that the beneficiary does not have such a condition. Finally, this code could also be billed for beneficiaries in the target population who have Medicaid currently paying for their stay as well as beneficiaries in the target population who are on a covered Medicare Part A SNF stay, and per the requirements listed above. Practitioner Payment Care Conferences Nursing facility conference: $77.64 Nurse practitioners and physician assistants are reimbursed at 85 percent of the physician fee schedule amount. As with the first component of the payment model, CMS intends to waive any requirement for a 20 percent beneficiary coinsurance or payment of a deductible under the model. Page 11
13 In order to bill for this service, the practitioner must conduct the discussion: 1. With the beneficiary and/or individual(s) authorized to make health care decisions for the beneficiary (as appropriate) 2. In a conference for a minimum of 25 minutes 3. Without performing a clinical examination of the beneficiary during the discussion (this should be conducted as needed through regular operations -- this session is focused on a care planning discussion) 4. With at least one member of the LTC facility interdisciplinary team 5. And document the conversation in the beneficiary s medical chart o This documentation should include information on the above requirements of the conversation. Where possible, the documentation could be created electronically in the LTC facility s EHR and electronically exchanged with the practitioner and other members of the interdisciplinary team.
