3 Key Points In CY 2009, $4.5 billion was paid for FFS inpatient care DPHs & NDPHs not included in DRG Payment CAHs are included Expected to affect around $3 billion Effective beginning for inpatient hospital admissions Base rates are trended forward, then frozen at the July 1, 2013 level Transition period: 3 years; 4 th yr fully implemented 3
4 Senate Bill 853 (October 2010) Current payment method: Contracted hospitals: Selective Provider Contracting Program (negotiated confidential per diem rates) Non-contracted hospitals: cost reimbursement In place almost 30 years New payment method based on Diagnosis Related Groups Affects inpatient claims only not outpatient Affects payment method, not payment level Expected to reward hospital efficiency Future funding levels based on number of stays, casemix, and legislative appropriations 4
5 Scope of the Project Included hospitals: All general acute care hospitals in and out of state Includes Medicare critical access hospitals Excluded hospitals: Designated public hospitals (SF General, UCLA, etc.) Non-Designated public hospitals Psychiatric hospitals Rehabilitation hospitals (including alcohol and drug rehab) But there will be a new per diem payment method for rehab stays 5
6 Scope of the Project Excluded services within included hospitals: Psychiatric stays, regardless of distinct-part location Managed care stays Rehabilitation stays and administrative days are outside the scope of DRG payment, but inside scope of this project (will be per diem) 6
7 DRG Payment Method Development Based on experience nationwide, this method may be in place for years or more Building a flexible structure for future policy needs Policy goal is to promote access, quality and economy for the benefit of Medi-Cal beneficiaries Key points in developing recommendations Data-driven decision-making wherever possible Work to build understanding and trust Nothing is final until everything is final Keep focus on payment policy criteria One-on-one discussions are discouraged 7
8 Policy Development Process DHCS instructions: an open, transparent process April 2011 to February 2012 Monthly meetings of state workgroup, hospital consultation group Policy design document (PDD) is key document Sets the structure of the payment method Chapter 7 comprises the SDN business requirements that DHCS has sent to Xerox, Fiscal Intermediary Policy specification (specific rates, parameter values, etc.) still being finalized June 30, 2012: Contracting program transfers to DHCS July 1, 2013: DRG implementation: admissions as of

12 DRG Algorithm: APR-DRGs Developed in early 1990s by 3M and National Association of Children s Hospitals (NACHRI) Intended to be suitable for all-patient population, especially obstetrics, newborns, NICU babies, general pediatrics, and children with complex medical needs Widely used for research, analysis and payment U.S. News & World Report, HealthGrades.com, MEDPAC, AHRQ, etc. Medicare MS-DRGs not suitable or intended for Medicaid We simply do not have enough data to establish stable and reliable DRGs and relative weights to address the needs of non-medicare payers for pediatric, newborn and maternity patients. (FFY 2008 Medicare Final Rule (8.2.07)) 12

14 Characteristics of DRG Payment Payment per stay, with higher rates for sicker patients as determined by grouping diagnoses and major procedures Defines the product of a hospital, creating a common language for clinical and financial managers Enables access for sicker patients because hospital margins are evened out for patients of different severity Rewards hospitals that reduce cost Rewards complete coding of diagnoses and procedures Improves transparency and fairness Similar pay for similar care Enables State control over payments and policy priorities 14

20 Key Payment Values Changes to the payment method structure and payment policy specification remain possible before implementation. Parameters DRG base price, non-remote rural DRG base price, remote rural Value Statewide-TBD Statewide-TBD Policy adjustor - DRG- at designated NICU 1.75 Policy adjustor - other NICU 1.25 Policy adjustor - age- pediatric, misc & respiratory 1.25 Transfer discharge statuses 02, 05, 65, 66 Pediatric age cutoff < 21 High side (provider loss) tiers and marginal cost (MC) percentages Low side (provider gain) tiers and marginal cost (MC) percentages $0 - $30,000: no outlier applied $30,001 to $100,000: MC = 0.60 > $100,000: MC = 0.80 $0 - $30,000: no outlier applied > $30,000: MC = 0.60 Wage area adjustments per Medicare Aug 2012 Documentation & coding adjustment TBD 20
21 How the Allowed Amount Is Calculated 1. Group each stay to APR-DRG 2. Look up relative weight by APR-DRG From a national database that fits CA well Some care categories increased by policy 3. Will vary by Medicare wage area Will be higher for remote rural hospitals Transition rates in effect , , Incorporate specific payment adjustments Age adjustor, outlier payments, transfers 21
22 How Claims Will Be Paid 22

25 3. Transfer Cases Payment adjustment follows Medicare model Applies to short-stay patients transferred for acute care; ( Transfer statuses 02-general hospital, 05-children s or cancer, 65-psych, 66- critical access) Transfer adjustment made only if LOS less than national ALOS - 1 day No post-acute transfer policy Example: DRG 190-3, Heart-attack LOS= 3 days; Transferred to another general hospital Step Explanation Amount DRG base payment $6,223 x $6,637 Transfer case Discharge status = 02 Yes National ALOS Look up from DRG table 4.87 Transfer adjustment ($6,337/4.87) * (3+1) $5,451 DRG payment $5,451 < $6,337 $5,451 25
26 4. Cost Outlier Case: Tier 1 Cost outlier payments supplement base payments in exceptional cases Same calculation model as Medicare, intended to make about 5% of payments as outliers; CA >10% Two tier Cost Outlier Thresholds: $30,000 and $100,000 Example: DRG Septicemia with charges of $150,000 Step Explanation Amount DRG base payment $6,223 x $17,012 Estimated cost $150,000 x 39% $58,500 Estimated loss $58,500 - $17,012 $41,488 Cost outlier case $41,488 > $30,000 Yes Est. loss - cost outlier $41,488 - $30,000 $11,488 Cost outlier payment $11,488 x 60% $6,893 DRG payment $17,012 + $6,893 $23,905 26
27 4. Cost Outlier Case: Tier 1 & 2 Example: DRG Septicemia with charges of $600,000 Step Explanation Amount DRG base payment $6,223 x $17,012 Estimated cost $600,000 x 39% $234,000 $234,000 - Estimated loss $17,012 $216,988 Cost outlier case Est. loss - cost outlier $216,988 > $30,000 Yes $216,988 - $30,000 $186,988 Cost Outlier Payment tier 1 for loss between $30,000 & $100,000 $70,000 x 60% $42,000 Tier 2 loss over $100,000 $216,988 - $100,000 $116,988 Example of two-tier cost outlier threshold: $30,000 and $100,000 Tier 1 paid at 60% for losses between $30,000 and $100,000 Tier 2 paid at 80% for losses greater than $100,000 Cost outlier payment tier 2 $116,988 x 80% $93,590 DRG payment 27 $17,012 + $42,000 + $93,590 $152,602
28 5. Interim Claims Hospitals can choose to submit interim claims if a stay exceeds 29 days. Hospitals are not required to submit interim claims under any circumstances Interim per diem intended to provide cash flow ($450 is for this illustration only. Example: Neonate 1200 g with respiratory distress syndrome (APR-DRG 602-4) Claim Type of Bill Days Interim Per Diem Payment 1st Interim claim $450 $13,050 2nd interim claim $450 $13,050 Calculate DRG Payment 80 $113,580 System pays DRG payment minus interim paid amounts 111 $87,480 Note: APR-DRG base rate is $6,223 x = $113, APR-DRG base rate is $6,223 x = $113, $450 is for illustrative purposes only. DHCS has not finalized a per diem rate for interim claims. 28

30 Likely Impacts on Hospitals The following are in approximate declining order of importance: 1. Change in payment per hospital up or down Effect of Transition Period $10,500 $9,000 $7,500 $6,000 $4,500 High Base Low base $3,000 $1,500 $- Base Yr1 Yr2 Yr3 Yr4 30
31 Impacts: Financial Management 1. Change in payment per hospital up or down (continued) Managing LOS and cost per day are rewarded Increase revenue by increasing casemix and volume Increase margins by increasing efficiency No cost settlement process
32 Likely Impacts on Hospitals 2. Decrease in daily TAR for stays paid by DRG Continue TAR on the medical necessity of the admission (not for deliveries and newborns) (Sick babies do require a TAR) Discontinue daily TAR on general acute care admissions Discontinue TAR on days related to induction of labor Continue TAR for procedures Continue daily TAR for administrative days and rehabilitation Continue DPH & NDPH follow current process 32
33 Likely Impacts on Hospitals 3. Increased importance of diagnosis/procedure coding APR-DRG severity assignment: No single complications/comorbidities list Depends on interaction of primary diagnosis with multiple secondary diagnoses and procedures APR-DRG granularity => opportunities to increase severity of illness Logic and experience (e.g., Medicare, MD, PA) => measured casemix will increase Newborn casemix expected to increase in particular (due to birth weight coding, inferred newborn claims) Overall, documentation and coding adjustment built into DRG base price Hospitals must ensure that coding is complete, accurate and defensible 33
34 Likely Impacts on Hospitals 4. Mother and newborn to be billed on separate claims 5. Sick newborns should be billed with single client ID Otherwise, interim claims will get confused 6. Interim claims not accepted for 29 days or less System will adjust payment on final claim 34
35 Likely Impacts on Hospitals 7. Administrative days continue to be billed separately New sub-acute pediatric admin level 2 (rev code 190) New adult admin level 2 (rev code 199) 8. Four-byte DRG code (e.g., 123-4) 9. Rehabilitation days to be billed separately New statewide per diem 35
36 Likely Impacts on Hospitals 10. Present-on-admission indicators required 11.Payment will be reduced when health-care acquired conditions affect DRG assignment Fiscal impact expected to be negligible 12. Erroneous surgeries should be reported using E codes 13. Blood factor and BMT search and acquisition billed separately 36
