19 Road Map Overview of CPC+ 3 Strategic Considerations for Successful CPC+ Application Q & A and Appendix Materials

20 20 Successful CPC+ Application Six Key Considerations to Tackle for Successful CPC+ Application 1 Is my practice eligible? 2 Is it worth it? 3 What are the implications of CPC+ practice involvement in my organization s broader risk based payment model involvement? 4 How might CPC+ involvement impact overall organization strategy? 5 6 How can I ensure success in executing on the 5 CPC+ functions? What are the next steps to get my organization prepared for CPC+? Source: CMS, Advisory Board interviews and analysis

21 #1: Is my practice eligible? 21 An Eligibility Checklist Answer These Questions Affirmatively Before Proceeding For each practice under consideration, ask: Is it physically located in a CPC+ region? Does it have primary care practitioners 1? Does it have at least 150 Medicare attributed beneficiaries? Does at least 40% of the revenue associated with services of the primary care practitioners at that practice come from Medicare or other CPC+ payers 2? Does it use Certified EHR Technology? Is it not a FQHC 3, RHC 4 or concierge provider? Is it not going to be part of a NGACO, ACO Investment Model, or other shared savings model in 2017 (besides MSSP)? 1) Defined as physicians, NPs, Pas, CNS with primary designation of family medicine, internal medicine or geriatric medicine. 2) CMS suggests, but does not require at least 50% of revenue. 3) Federally qualified health center. 4) Rural health center. Source: CMS, Advisory Board interviews and analysis.

22 #2: Is it worth it? 22 Calculating Potential Practice Revenue Under CPC+ Hypothetical Example of Potential Additional Revenue Annual total CPC+ payment assuming 700 attributed Medicare beneficiaries (average number of patients attributed to CPCI practices) Care Management Fee 1 Track 1 +$126,000 Track 2 +$235,200 Performance-Based Incentive Payments Extra Comprehensive Primary Care Payments (CPCP) 2 Approximate Total Annual Incremental Revenue +$21,000 $147K +$33,600 +$5,376 $274.2K 1) Based on expected average payment by track ($15 fro track one, $28 for track two). If patients are in higher risk tiers, payment would ne higher, if patients are in lower risk tiers than average, payment would be lower 2) Assumes practice is receiving 40% of E&M payments upfront, under which option CMS expects to boost practice E&M revenue by 4% per month and assumes E&M revenue is $16 per beneficiary per month (approximate amount for CPCI practices). Estimate only includes new revenue under CPCP; in addition, practices would prospectively receive a portion of historical fee-for-service payments Source: CMS, Advisory Board interviews and analysis

23 23 Calculate Your Potential Care Management Fees Number of Medicare beneficiaries 1 + Number of other CPC+ payer beneficiaries 1 x Average Monthly Care Management Fee 2 $15 (track one) or $28 (track two) x Annual 12 Performance-Based Incentive Payments Number of Medicare beneficiaries 1 + Number of other CPC+ payer beneficiaries 1 Monthly Performance- Based Incentive Payment 3 $2.50 (track one) or $4.00 (track two) 12 Total 1) Beneficiaries will be attributed to a practice if that practice either billed the plurality of their primary care allowed charges or that billed the most recent claim (if that claim was for Chronic Care Management services) during the most recently available 24 month period. CMS will provide each practice with a list of prospectively attributed beneficiaries for each quarter. 2) Average payment by track assumes average HCC risk profile of patients. If patients are in higher risk tiers, payment would be higher, if patients are in lower risk tiers than average, payment would be lower. Figures also assume that participating private payers pay the same PBPM as Medicare. 3) Paid prospectively. Practices may keep if it meets quality and utilization performance thresholds Source: CMS, Advisory Board interviews and analysis

24 24 Considering the Investments Needed- Track One Start Here to Determine Track One Feasibility Does the practice Already have in place Planning on it or feasible to achieve Not in plans and not feasible Provide 24-hour access to care? Have practice teams dedicated to patient panels? Risk-stratify all patients? Have targeted care management plans for patients at increased risk? Provide short term care management to patients with recent hospital visits? Support patients in achieving health goals? Have enhanced communication between PCP practices and ED? Have a Patient and Family Advisory Council? Use data to influence utilization and quality performance? Source: CMS, Advisory Board interviews and analysis

25 25 Considering the Investments Needed- Track Two Continue Here If Track One Components Sufficiently in Place Does the practice Already have in place Planning on it or feasible to achieve Not in plans and not feasible Offer an alternative to office visits? Use a plan of care centered on patient s actions? Assess patients psychosocial needs? Have collaborative care agreements with specialists? Integrate behavioral health into primary care? Provide more comprehensive services for complex patients? Implement patient self-management support for high-risk conditions? Review panel data with care team on a weekly basis? Have IT vendor commitment? Source: CMS, Advisory Board interviews and analysis

26 #3: What are the implications in my organization s broader risk based payment model involvement? 26 A Practice Model Within Organizational Risk Models Consider How Individual Practice Involvement Impacts Broader Strategy Participating in MSSP PCP Practice Multispecialty Practice Independent oncology practice Multispecialty Practice Multispecialty Practice PCP Practice PCP Practice Independent radiology practice Independent PCP Practice Owned by health system or large independent medical group Participating in CPC+ Track one Participating in CPC+ Track two Source: CMS; Advisory Board interviews and analysis.

29 #4: How might CPC+ involvement impact overall organization strategy? 29 CPC+ A Win for Small Practices? Aspects of CPC+ That Support Small Practices Participation is at the individual practice level Minimum number of beneficiaries required only 150 CMS voiced desire to have diverse set of organizations included CPC+ eligible for APM track qualification under MACRA for <50 clinician practices? Some Open Questions Remain Do smaller groups feel that they can make the necessary investments required by CPC+? Are the payments adequate to support these investments? Will CMS show preference to small groups in the application pool? Will smaller groups be able to meet the performance criteria to successfully participate in CPC+? Will any small groups in CPC+ meet patient or revenue threshold to make it into the APM track of MACRA? Source: CMS; Advisory Board interviews and analysis.

30 30 For Larger Organizations, a More Complex Calculus Special Considerations Driving Larger Groups Strategy Competing Priorities Siphoning Interest? Opportunity to Double Down MACRA, MSSP readiness taking significant bandwidth CPC+ may not receive attention it deserves Some physicians may see CPC+ as off-ramp from MSSP Organizations participating in both should proceed with caution, communicate carefully to participants CPC+ helps fund transformation already in place for many groups Can also fund activities around access, responding to consumerism Source: CMS; Advisory Board interviews and analysis.

31 31 Strategic Considerations of CPC+ Key Takeaways Keep in mind CPC+ is a model offered at the individual practice level, whereas other models often involve an entire medical group or multiple organizations CPC+ qualifies as advanced APM entity under MACRA, but only for those with fewer than 50 clinicians in their group 1 Public, private payer collaboration under CPC+ may help streamline care transformation efforts, ease quality reporting burden CPC+ may serve as alternative to MSSP track one for smaller practices with less care transformation experience, less ability to invest upfront in care transformation efforts Larger organizations, are those involved in risk based payment models with other organizations should consider the implications of practice based CPC+ on these bigger initiatives 1) Starting in 2018 Source: CMS, Advisory Board interviews and analysis
