2 SFY 2015 Q2 Financial Dashboard DHS uses a methodology for determining the hospital spending target based on actual data from the previous state fiscal year For RY 2016, actual Medicaid payments with DOP SFY 2015 will be used to determine the inpatient and outpatient hospital spending target DHS will provide quarterly updates to the financial dashboard leading up to the presentation of the completed spending target in August 2015 Review Handout 1: SFY 2015 Q2 Hospital Financial Dashboard 3 SFY 2015 Q2 Financial Dashboard DHS has provided an additional comparison summary of access payments to more appropriately compare the actual access payments paid for SFY 2015 and SFY 2014 Comparing access payment spending year-over-year is not meaningful because the access payment funding allocated to FFS varies from assessment model to assessment model Access payments paid in SFY 2015 with DOS in SFY 2015 as a percentage of the SFY 2015 Assessment Model total is now compared to access payments paid in SFY 2014 with DOS in SFY 2014 as a percentage of the SFY 2014 Assessment Model total for a better comparison As of the end of Q2, SFY 2015 access payments are outpacing SFY 2014 access payments, so the outlook is optimistic for avoiding another retroactive rate adjustment process Q2 SFY 2015 Q2 SFY 2014 Total SFY 2014 before Retroactive Adjustment FFS Inpatient 40.32% 37.98% 95.31% FFS Outpatient 45.11% 36.22% 88.84% Review Handout 2: SFY 2015 Q2 Access Payment Comparison 4 2

5 RY 2016 Policy Requests DHS recorded the following RY 2016 policy requests at the December 2014 MHRAG meeting Rural/urban outlier trimpoints Provider-based billing (if not redefining outpatient hospital, at least using UB form) Billing therapies on the UB form Additional requests should be made at this time or in the next few days to allow DHS sufficient time to research, model, etc. for June Other requests at this time? 9 Biennial Budget Status DHS request from 9/2014 and Governor s Budget from 2/2015 used same underlying intensity increases for hospital services: 4.53% for inpatient hospital and 4.40% for outpatient hospital The hospital rate setting process is not tied to the biennial budget; rather, it derives from the financial dashboard (presented earlier) Governor s Budget includes a renewal of the $36 million/year supplemental DSH funding; formula streamlined but not expected to materially alter the distribution of the funds across hospitals If this provision of the budget is passed, DHS may need to reach out to hospitals for additional data in order to ensure compliance with CMS DSH audit requirements 10 5

6 $100K DSH Program Auditor procured for FY 2012 and FY 2013 Myers & Stauffer again, this time they ll be requesting data directly from hospitals These audits will apply to supplemental DSH as well starting in FY Inappropriate Inpatient Admission RAC Audits Per policy, if an audit determines that an inpatient service should have been outpatient, DHS recoups the difference between IP and OP reimbursement Under EAPGs, DHS cannot calculate what OP reimbursement would have been without data not supplied via the IP claim (e.g. HCPCS/CPT codes) DHS s intent is to provide the OP reimbursement, so if your hospital is contacted by the RAC auditor requesting this kind of data, DHS encourages you to supply it For hospitals unable to provide this kind of data, DHS can make other arrangements If DHS cannot obtain this data, or a hospital does not respond to a request for data, DHS must assume that OP reimbursement would have been $0 Hospital could rebill OP, but timely filing is likely to be an issue in most cases For questions, please contact Randy McElhose ( or randy.mcelhose@wisconsin.gov) 12 6

7 Settlements Letters for most FY OP & Lab settlements have been mailed Some hospitals did not yet have audited cost reports for these years These settlements will continue for a few more years (until EAPG implementation) Letters for most FY 2009 FY 2010 CAH settlements coming soon Some hospitals did not yet have audited cost reports for these years FY 2010 is the last year for these settlements For questions, please contact Randy McElhose ( or randy.mcelhose@wisconsin.gov 13 Project Updates DHS is continuing to work on collecting the necessary data to model the effect of adding access payments for childless adults DHS is continuing to work on collecting the necessary data to model the provider-based billing requests New reporting tool for HMO access payments almost complete 14 7
