SB 239 signed Oct. 8, 2013 Allows up to 24% of the net benefit as a contribution to the state General Fund for children s health coverage Creates program periods : o 1/1/14 12/31/16 o 1/1/17 6/30/19 o Future programs no more than three years Had a sunset date of Jan. 1,
5 Prop 52 Prop 52 Amendment to the California Constitution passed by a vote of the people in November 2016 Removed the January 2018 sunset date in the QAF statute thereby making the QAF program permanent Established rules for how the law can be changed Requires two-thirds vote of the legislature Provisions that further the purpose of the QAF to obtain or maintain federal approval Federal approval of the QAF is still required 14 Medicaid Managed Care Final Rules 5
6 Medicaid Managed Care Final Rules May 2016 Comprehensive Medicaid Managed Care Final Rule Defines pass-through payments as any amount required by the State to be added to the contracted payment rates, and considered in calculating the actuarially sound capitation rate, between the Managed Care Organizations (MCO) and hospitals The QAF managed care payments are considered pass-through payments 16 Medicaid Managed Care May 2016 Comprehensive Medicaid Managed Care Final Rule Pass-through payments permitted, but must be phased out over 10-years beginning with contracts starting on or after July 1, 2017 Maximum pass-through payments for each year equal to a percentage of a base amount; starts at 100% and decreases by 10% each year Base amount is similar to an upper payment limit: Medicare Allowable Medi-Cal Actual 17 Medicaid Managed Care May 2016 Comprehensive Medicaid Managed Care Final Rule Must transition to a permitted payment method: Adoption of a minimum or maximum fee schedule for particular services Value-based purchasing models such as P4P or bundled payments Participation in a multi-payer delivery system reform or performance improvement initiative Provide a uniform increase for providers of particular services 18 6
7 Medicaid Managed Care May 2016 Comprehensive Medicaid Managed Care Final Rule Provide a uniform increase for providers of particular services Payments can only be made to network providers Imposes several obligations on network providers, including credentialing Rates determined prospectively and paid on adjudicated claims 19 Medicaid Managed Care January 2017 Medicaid Managed Care Pass- Through Payment Final Rule Prohibits any new or increased pass-through payments, effective July 1, 2017 Imposes a cap on future pass-through payments equal to the aggregate pass-through payment amount submitted to CMS as of June 5, 2016 In CA, our annual pass-through cap would be based on 2014 QAF managed care payments since our 2015 rates weren t submitted until June 12, Medicaid Managed Care Estimated 2017/18 QAF Medi Cal Managed Care Payment Limit $4 Billion Total $2 billion paid through new methodology using a fixed add on per diem $2 billion paid through traditional pass through methodology 21 7
8 Medicaid Managed Care Potential Solution for Complying with Final Rules MCOs receive monthly QAF capitation payments and would make fixed add-on payments on adjudicated claims The fixed add-on per diem would be calculated to achieve a spending goal of $2 billion Estimate 2 million inpatient days in $1,000 add-on per day ($2 billion/2 million days) Utilization Risk Corridor (URC) required to account for over/under utilization 22 Medicaid Managed Care Potential Solution for Complying with Final Rules MCOs with less utilization than expected will pay into the URC MCOs with greater utilization than expected will draw from the URC Pass-through payment bucket will provide reserve in case the URC has a negative balance Excess funds in the URC at the end of the year will carry over to the next year 23 QAF 5 Development 8
9 QAF 5 Development Base Year Most recent data available for calculating fees and payments is from 2013 due to the Medi-Cal Utilization Report (MUR) 2014 is not a reliable base year due to Affordable Care Act (ACA) implementation; some hospitals would have a partial year of pre-aca data due to fiscal year end Directed payments made on current claims, so draft model provides a rough estimate using data from the 2015 OSHPD annual financial disclosure report 25 QAF 5 Development (cont.) Fee Assessment (status quo) Four-Tier Tax Structure Medi-Cal Days (FFS and Managed Care) Fee-For-Service Managed Care Health Plan Owned Hospital Managed Care Rural hospitals exempt from paying fee Long-term care, free-standing psychiatric, public, specialty and new hospitals excluded 26 QAF 5 Development (cont.) Fee-For-Service Payments (status quo) Supplemental FFS payments for inpatient, outpatient, high acuity, trauma, transplant, psych, and subacute Transplant payments calculated using transplant days from OSHPD 2013 patient discharge file All other payments calculated using 2013 Medi-Cal paid claims files provided by DHCS Quarterly payments directly from DHCS 27 9
10 QAF 5 Development (cont.) Managed Care Payments 1/1/17 6/30/17 (status quo) supplemental pass-through payments for inpatient and outpatient Inpatient payments calculated using MUR days Outpatient payments calculated using OSHPD visits from the annual financial disclosure report (excludes clinic visits) 28 QAF 5 Development (cont.) Managed Care Payments 7/1/17 6/30/19 subject to new final rules, must begin transition to directed payments Approximately half of the QAF managed care funds must be paid on current adjudicated claims using a fixed daily add-on payment Remaining half of funds can still be passedthrough to hospitals using historic static data Pass-through payments made for inpatient days, outpatient visits and carved-out service (transplants, specialty mental health, California Children s Services) 29 QAF 5 Development (cont.) Timeline DHCS submitted state plan amendment (SPA) to CMS on March 30 FFS rates for 1/1/17 6/30/17 Tax Structure for 1/1/17 6/30/19 Typical CMS review and approval time is 6 9 months from submission of SPA DHCS plans to submit managed care rates for 1/1/17 6/30/17 and FFS rates for 7/1/17 6/30/18 in coming months 30 10
11 QAF 5 Development (cont.) Timeline DHCS will submit new proposed managed care methodology to CMS in coming weeks to begin discussions DHCS plans to submit managed care rates for 7/1/17 6/30/18 in Q4 of this calendar year Retroactive reconciliation required for SFY 17/18 add-on payments Prospective submission of managed care rates beginning with SFY 18/19 31 QAF 5 Development (cont.)
