3 Urology Triple Aim: Care, Health and Cost Sandra George MBA, CMPE Urologic Specialists of Oklahoma, Inc. Tulsa OK Value-Based Healthcare (VBH) The delivery of evidence-based treatment through which providers are compensated based on improved patient outcomes. Volume vs. Value Providers will not be paid on the number of visits/services (as in the fee-for-schedule model) but expected to demonstrate the value of the care (more risk bearing model of fee-for-value) by achieving improved outcomes at a lower cost. 3

4 MACRA MACRA Medicare And CHIP Reauthorization Act - Reforms that have eliminated the sustainable growth rate (SGR) formula - Provides new incentives, penalties and processes APM Alternative Payment Methods - HHS wants 30% of traditional Medicare payments to come from ACOs, bundled payments or other APM models - Physicians meet the requirements of the ACO & are exempt from MIPS - Created to facilitate care coordination and achieve the Triple Aim for patients; improve health, improve quality of care and reduce overall cost MIPS- Merit-Based Incentive Payment System The proposed MIPS payment formula will replace the PQRS, Value Based Modifier (VM) and MU programs. Your current performance under these quality reporting programs can help provide some insight into MIPS. Have you reviewed your QRUR? It compares your practice s cost and quality performance to a national benchmark. 4
