4 I.1 Long-term care and healthcare in Germany (1/2) Social insurance is backbone of welfare state in Germany 5 branches of social insurance Statutory health insurance (SHI) founded in 1883 oldest social insurance system in the world Social long-term care insurance (LTCI) founded in 1994 latest branch of social insurance Healthcare and long-term care: coverage About 86% of population: social insurance system About 12% of population: private (mandatory) insurance About 2% in public systems (policemen, firemen, military etc.) Social Healthcare and LTC: financing and expenditures Almost no taxes go into insurance systems (SHI: <10%, LTC: 0%) biggest share of expenditure (SHI: 60%; LTC: 50%) Prof. Dr. Heinz Rothgang 4
5 I.1 Long-term care and healthcare in Germany (2/2) Health insurance vs. LTCI: kind of services SHI: basically cure: acute medical treatment (hospital, doctors, drugs) rehabilitation, prevention, psychiatric care Also chronically ill and expensive cases Sick pay (generally after 6 weeks) LTCI: basically care Basic care (assistance with ADLs and iadls) Health insurance vs. LTCI: expenditure and contribution rate SHI: 184 billion Euro (in 2012), contribution rate: 15.5% SLTCI: 23 billion Euro (in 2012), contribution rate: 2.05% Health insurance is 8 times as big as LTCI Prof. Dr. Heinz Rothgang 5
6 I.2 The introduction of LTC insurance: Goals and rationale (1/4) LTCI Act was passed 1994 after 20 years of debate: 1. Why was the system introduced at all? Which problems did the Act address? Who were the advocates of the reform and why? 2. Why was it introduced at this time? under a centre-right coalition in a period of permanent austerity? 3. Why was it introduced the way it was introduced with two branches of insurance with the social insurance following the PAYGO system with capped benefits etc.? Prof. Dr. Heinz Rothgang 6
7 I.2 The introduction of LTC insurance: Goals and rationale (2/4) Underlying problem perception Demographic change: number of dependent elderly was expected to grow Socio-structural change: care capacities of families were expected to decrease Increasing numbers of dependent elderly in nursing homes relying on (means-tested) social assistance burden for municipalities LTCI was fostered by two distinct discourses Welfare state discourse: German welfare state aims at status maintenance. It is unworthy if citizens after a normal working life depend on welfare just because of needing long-term care High share of welfare recipients was perceived as social scandal Fiscal policy discourse Municipalities were increasingly suffering from high expenditures for people in nursing homes. Federal states acted as advocates. Prof. Dr. Heinz Rothgang 7
8 I.2 The introduction of LTC insurance: Goals and rationale (3/4) Course of events 1974: report of KDA started welfare state debate on LTC 1980s: federal states put forward reform proposals triggered by the fiscal policy debate 1990s: Fiscal strains due to German reunification. Federal Minster Blüm advocated introduction of LTC insurance Blüm advocated insurance though he rejected the idea before There was also a game for power within government. LTCI was legitimated by welfare state discourse. The introduction, however, was due to fiscal policy discourse. Prof. Dr. Heinz Rothgang 8
9 I.2 The introduction of LTC insurance: Goals and rationale (4/4) Reshaping of the welfare state rather than expansion: Introduction of LTCI was accompanied by cuts in other welfare state areas LTCI marks break with German tradition of service provision according to needs (as in health insurance) LTCI Act was shaped in order to prevent any cost explosion thereafter tight definition of dependency capped benefits (nominally fixed) discretionary adjustment of benefits Compromise between Christian Democrats and Liberals: two-pillar system with Social LTCI as PAYGO system, but Private mandatory insurance as funded system Prof. Dr. Heinz Rothgang 9

11 II.1 LTCI in Germany: Institutional arrangements (1/5) Coverage: 86% of the population: social LTCI 12% of the population: private mandatory LTCI Financing: PAYGO system in Social LTCI, contributions levied on income from wages and salaries up to a certain income cap. Parity between employers and employees, extra contribution (0.25 percentage points) for childless since Funding in private mandatory LTCI, but with strong elements of PAYGO when introduced: benefits also for those already in need of care and capped premiums (for the elderly) Entitlement: According to ADL scheme, differentiated according to three levels of care, no age limit, assessment by Medical Service of funds Prof. Dr. Heinz Rothgang 11
12 II.1 LTCI in Germany: Institutional arrangements (2/5) Prof. Dr. Heinz Rothgang 12
13 II.1 LTCI in Germany: Institutional arrangements (3/5) Benefits: Cash benefits, in kind benefits (for home care) and benefits for nursing home care with choice for the beneficiary Capped benefits with caps below need, no provision for automatic adjustment of nominally fixed benefits In nursing home care: only capped benefits for care costs, nothing for room and board or for investment costs Amount of LTCI Benefits (Major Types of Benefits) in 2012 in euros per month Home care Day and night care Nursing home care Level Cash benefits In-kind benefits In-kind benefits In kind benefits I moderate ,023 II severe 440 1,100 1,100 1,279 III severest 700 1,550 1,550 1,550 Special cases 1,918 1,918 Source: SGB XI.

Today LTCI benefits do not even cover care costs Out of pocket payment is higher than LTCI benefits in all levels of dependency Prof. Dr. Heinz Rothgang 14
15 II.1 LTCI in Germany: Institutional arrangements (5/5) Administration: Social LTCI is administered by LTCI funds founded as a branch of the respective sickness fund. LTCI is independent but under the umbrella of health insurance No competition between funds as all contributions go into one fund which covers all expenditure difference to health insurance Health Ministry oversees LTC but is not directly involved in organizing it Providers have a legal right to contracts with funds if they fulfil certain requirements no capacity planning! Prof. Dr. Heinz Rothgang 15
16 II.2 Utilization (1/4): Care Capacities in the formal sector Introduction of LTCI triggered expansion of formal sector Number of Providers Capacities of formal care Extramural Care Employees Whole time equivalents Intramural Care Number of Nursing homes Number of beds in nursing homes , ,782 56,914 8, , , ,567 57,524 9, , , ,897 57,510 9, , , ,307 56,354 10, , , ,162 62,405 11, , , , ,921 11, , , , ,096 12, , ,1 3,1 1,1 3,5 4, ,2 6,0 0,0 6,3 5, ,4 6,7-2,0 7,0 6, ,0 10,2 10,7 5,8 5, ,3 13,9 14,5 5,5 5, ,7 8,1 10,7 6,2 3, ,1 58,2 63,7 39,5 35,6 Source: Statistisches Bundesamt: Pflegestatistik, verschiedene Jahrgänge. Prof. Dr. Heinz Rothgang 16
17 II.2 Utilization (2/4): Extramural vs. intramural care LTCI aims to favour family care over (formal) community care over nursing home care There are several measures favouring home care, e.g. Cash benefits for family care Pension benefits for informal care-givers Higher benefits for home care (in level I and II) Substitute caregivers for vacations Counselling Practical training ( Pflegekurse ) Nevertheless, there has been a trend towards formal care, though the rate of the shift is declining Prof. Dr. Heinz Rothgang 17

19 II.2 Utilization (4/4): The Future There are good reasons to assume a continuation of this trend Demography: Decreasing share of informal caregivers per dependent elderly Socio-structural change: Increasing share of 1-person households among elderly; children live further away Increase female labour market participation higher opportunity costs of family care-giving Declining duty to care felt by families Prof. Dr. Heinz Rothgang 19
20 II.3 Benefits and co-payments (1/5) From 1994 to 2008 LTCI benefits have been kept constant in nominal terms. Real purchasing power has been decreasing considerably and out of pocket payments increased. Prof. Dr. Heinz Rothgang 20

22 II.3 Benefits and co-payments (3/5) From 1994 to 2008 LTCI benefits have been kept constant in nominal terms. Real purchasing power has been decreasing considerably and out of pocket payments increased. Only 2008 a first adjustment was introduced Increase: 1.4 per cent per year for , about inflation rate Financed by an increase in contribution rate from 1.7 to 1.95 percent For some benefits there is no increase at all Prof. Dr. Heinz Rothgang 22

25 II.4 Remuneration: Institutional arrangements Nursing homes are remunerated by daily rates for care costs, room & board and Investment cost (as far as not publicly financed) LTCI benefits are for care costs only, Room and board costs are for inhabitants (social assistant) Investment should be financed by provinces, uncovered investment cost are for inhabitants (social assistance) Rates are negotiated between LTCI funds and social assistance Nursing homes Negotiations are based on external comparisons and individual costs. Negotiations differ between provinces Prof. Dr. Heinz Rothgang 25
26 II.4 Remuneration: Institutional arrangements Home care Remuneration is based on about two dozens of service packages ( Leistungskomplexe ) which differ between provinces Relative prices ( points per complex ) are assigned to those services This fee scale as well as the remuneration level (value of a point ) are negotiated on the Länder level. Due to different definitions of the service packages remuneration levels are hard to compare between provinces Prof. Dr. Heinz Rothgang 26

Needs assessment and entitlement 3. Quality of care, case and care management 4. Future Caregiving Lessons to be learned Prof. Dr. Heinz Rothgang 32
33 in million Euro III.1 Future Financing (1/5) 6,000 5,000 4,000 3,000 2,000 1,000 0,000-1, Überschüsse 3,44 1,18 0,80 0,13-0,03-0,13-0,06-0,38-0,69-0,82-0,36 0,45-0,32 0,63 0,99 0,34 0,31 Liquidität 2,87 4,05 4,86 4,99 4,95 4,82 4,76 4,93 4,24 3,42 3,05 3,50 3,18 3,81 4,80 5,13 5,45 Prof. Dr. Heinz Rothgang 33
34 III.1 Future Financing (2/5) Until 2008: Contribution rate was stabilized by decreasing purchasing power of LTCI benefits option seems to be closed for the future Given there is proper adjustment: contribution rate will increase from 2.05 percentage points 2013 up to percentage points in 2050/60 If major flaws of the system could be healed (inclusion of the whole population and contributions levied on all kinds of income up to an increased income ceiling) increase can be limited to about 3.3 percentage points Prof. Dr. Heinz Rothgang 34
35 III.1 Future Financing (3/5) Last government rather introduced subsidy of 5 Euro per month on contracts with a premium of at least 10 Euro / month benefits of at least 600 Euro in level III obligation to except every applicant not yet in need of LTC no medical underwriting, but age specific premiums Waiting time no longer than 5 years Privatisation strategy Prof. Dr. Heinz Rothgang 35
36 III.1 Future Financing (4/5) Effects and problems of the new subsidy ( Pflege-Bahr ) Number of insurees will be limited Government put 100 million Euro aside 1.67 million contracts By summer: 150,000 contracts Insurance is unattractive for households with low income Redistribution from the bottom to the top as those with lower income will finance tax-subsidy for better off households that buy insurance Prof. Dr. Heinz Rothgang 36
37 III.1 Future Financing (5/5) Effects and problems of the new subsidy ( Pflege-Bahr ) cont. Problem of adverse selection New insurance is particularly attractive for those who could not buy normal insurance Due to this risk selection premiums must be higher In the US a respective programme (CLASS Act) was stopped as unworkable last year Insurance companies will nevertheless develop products as waiting time works as a safety net for the first five years and premiums may be raised thereafter. Overall problems result when Pflege-Bahr is used to stop proper adjustments in Social LTCI Prof. Dr. Heinz Rothgang 37
38 III.2 Needs assessment and entitlement (1/2) Definition of LTC is very strict, cognitive impairments and not considered properly when LTC is measured Remedy I: Introduction of new benefits 2001: up to 460 per year for people with cognitive impairments 2008: benefits up to 1,200 or 2,400 per year; benefits also for people with care level 0; extra staff for people with dementia in nursing homes 2013: additional benefits for people with cognitive impairments ( 123 SGB XI) Level 0: 120 / 225 per month (cash benefits, in kind benefits) Level I: 70 / 215 per month (cash benefits, in kind benefits ) Level II: 85 / 150 per month (cash benefits, in kind benefits) Prof. Dr. Heinz Rothgang 38
39 III.2 Needs assessment and entitlement (2/2) Remedy II: Expert Commission for the developent of a new entitlement : Development of new definition and assessment reports in Feb and June : though positively perceived: nothing happens 2012: March re-establishment of expert commission, report in spring 2013 Plans to implement new assessment in next reform Prof. Dr. Heinz Rothgang 39
40 III.3 Quality of care Introduction of LTCI has raised awareness more scandals are revealed Quality improvement has been a major issue: 2002: Pflege-Qualitätsstärkungsgesetz (PQsG): attempt to enforce control by contracts between funds and providers: never introduced properly, failed 2008 reform Increased obligations for internal quality management Tenfold increased in frequency of quality controls by Medical Service Publication of reports from quality controls in a digestible way introduction of competition based on quality Quality is still a major issue Prof. Dr. Heinz Rothgang 40
41 III.3 Case and care management There is a lack of proper case and care management for people in need of long-term care The 2008 reform introduced the obligation to funds to provide case management and introduced Pflegestützpunkte, i.e. local centers providing counseling Implementation has been slow as neither Länder nor LTC funds are too enthusiastic Evaluations rather reveal Pflegestützpunkte as a failure as they are not just much Prof. Dr. Heinz Rothgang 41
42 III.4 Future care-giving The problem: Family care-giving has been on the retreat For the future this trend is likely to continue With constant recruitment, retaining and return patterns the number of professional care-workers is going to decline Projections show an (additional) gap of about 500,000 full-time employees in care work by 2030 Who cares? Only solution: combined strategy Make a career in formal care-giving more attractive Stabilize family care via support for informal care-givers and improved opportunities to combine care-giving and gainful employment Mobilize the potential of community to care.

44 III. Lessons from the German Experience (1/3) Achievements Acknowledging long-term care as a social risk Coverage of the whole population Increasing public spending: factor 2.5 Reducing the number of people in nursing homes depending on welfare Huge reducing of expenditure on social assistant for people in nursing homes Improving care infrastructure (quantitative) Putting the quality issue on the agenda Work with a stable contribution rate for 15 years Prof. Dr. Heinz Rothgang 44
45 III. Lessons from the German Experience (2/3) Room for improvement Benefits Definition of entitlement: better provision for dementia Too little rehabilitation Quality of care Future sustainable care structures Proper adjustment of benefits Financing: sustainable financing Prof. Dr. Heinz Rothgang 45
46 III. Lessons from the German Experience (3/3) The German experience shows: A social insurance system should relate to the whole population. Contributions should be levied on all kinds of income, not just on income from gainful employment. Due to demographic and socio-demographic change over time the contribution rate necessarily goes up. Considerably co-payments are possible, but proper adjustment of benefits is vital. The definition of entitlement should be broad enough to include e.g. people suffering from dementia properly. Case and care management is necessary, particularly if beneficiaries may choose between different kinds of benefits. Support for family care is necessary if informal care has a role in care-giving Prof. Dr. Heinz Rothgang 46
