17 Medicine Roles Participate in all aspects and stages of care: Front Line: ED, Admissions, Admit H/Ps, Outpt, Inpt and Intra - Op Function in the Middle: keep the dialogue open and process running smoothly: LOS and UR management Inpt setting Follow up visits in outpt settings Patient and family education in person and by phone. Function as Closers : to finish the health care deal ; Transition of care

18 Surgical Role Pre Operative Role Clinical evaluation to include H/P s, Diagnostic evaluation, ancillary study review and medical clearances Operative Role First and Second Assist Robotic assistance Facilitating training and education of residents/students Post Operative Role Discharge management Post operative clinical evaluation, participate in the overall care of patients from presentation onward. Education of patients and families on robotic prostatectomy Develop and maintain social programs

19 Challenges Communication between APPs and MDs Scope of Practice and Supervisory Agreements Employed vs. Non Employed services Diversification of Services Integration with Academic Medicine

20 Opportunities Provision of continuous services to patients for MDs Quality Metrics LOS and Discharge Management Utilization and Resource Management Billing and Reimbursement Core Measures and EMR ICD 10

21 Clinical Practice Models

22 Horizontal Continuum of Care APRNs (NP, CNM CRNA) Education, research, training, care coordination, pt.assessment, evaluation, Dx Tx, Surgical Assist, Anesthesiology, Pre, Ante and Post care. PAs Enhanced Patient Outcomes and Patient Satisfaction

23 Types of Clinical Practice Ambulatory Practice Scribes Shared Side by Side Autonomous Inpatient Practice InterOperative Practice Combined Practice

24 Scribe Practice PATIENT (New and F/U) PA/NP Takes H/P Reports to MD (May or May not dictate) MD repeats all the work of PA/NP and dictates MD Bills at 100%

25 Scribe Practice Pros APP learns clinical practice, dictate etc. Acceptable teaching model for new graduates Cons Physician still has to do full history and exam Double work/single service/ Mild incentive for the MD/poor incentive for the APP Expensive utilization of Providers.

26 Shared Practice Patient (New and F/U) Additional Patients seen by MD PA/NP does complete E/M service, communicates to MD and dictates MD sees patient briefly, and discuses the MDM of the Service. MD bills at 100%

27 Shared Practice Pros Patient seen by two providers. Physician does not have to do full exam, Good incentive for the Physician Billing is done by Physician Meets CMS standards Good teaching and supervisory provisions Cons +/- Access Improvement Poor utilization of resources Low volume days= low productivity from all providers Mild incentive for the APP

28 Side by Side Practice PATIENT (F/U, +/- New) PATIENT (New, +/- F/u) MD may see New patient as a shared visit PA/NP does entire E/M service MD (in the same time) Constant Comm PA/NP bills at 85% if not seen by MD MD bills for his own pt... and may bill for PA/NP pt... if seen, at 100%

29 Side by Side Practice Pros Improved Access MD can see New, APP can see F/U Direct access to MD Easy conversion to Shared Practice CMS compliance with billing and supervisory regulations Good incentive for all providers Cons Not always suitable for New or Consults. Subject to over booking Billing and Reimbursement Limitations: Enrollment, 85% Understanding Legal and Compliance rules. Administrative Impact- Resources and Space

30 Autonomous Practice Pros Best model in ideal setting Improves Access for all patients Good incentive Downstream Feeders Provider is always busy. Safety net for last minute add-ons Productivity justifies administrative Impact. Cons Requires well experienced, confident APP MD may not be present for complex cases Patients may not see MD on 1 st visit Requires trust and good communication between APP and MD

31 Autonomous Practice MD provides indirect supervision and available for consultation if needed. MD free to be in clinic/or/procedure. MD gets downstream opportunities from PA/NP Patients (New and F/U) PA /NP does complete E/M, dictates and bills at 85%

32 Inpatient Utilization Pros Prompt/ Direct/Consistent Pt. access. Autonomous practice MDs gain confidence in APP Good learning opportunities Cons Poor billing / reimbursement Difficult Productivity measurements APPs may be subjected to scut work Requires well experienced, confident APP APP has limited view of Patients

33 Inpatient Utilization PA/NP Rounds alone or with team, writes Progress notes Discharges Pt. MD Rounds In- Patient RVU Formulas Initial Hosp Visit = 5.82/pt. Sub Hosp Visit = 2.07/pt. Inpatient Consult = 3.26/pt. Ave. 6 pt... daily = 22.3 RVU Approx. $550/day

34 OR Utilization and ROI Patient (Operation) Surgeon (MD) First Assist (PA/NP) Surgeon Bills at 100% and PA/NP Bills at 85% of First Assist Fee = 16% of the Surgeons Fee If MD fee for VIP = $12,000 PA/NP fee = $1920

35 Operating Room Utilization Pros Improved Revenue generation: Surgeon fee and First Assistant fee. Develop expertise in OR Comfort and Trust with MD. Standardization of procedures Good quality metrics Cons Can be monotonous Limited view of patient Need experienced provider Specific language is needed in GME programs Competition with GME trainees.

36 Combined Utilization Pros Maximum Utilization Jack of all Trades Experienced flexible provider Develop Trust and Confidence with MD APP. Maximum Access Maximum RVU generation. Cons Potential for APP burn out Master of None Competency measurement is critical Commands higher salary

37 Combined Practice Ambulatory Practice In-Patient Practice OR Practice Experienced PA/NP MD MD MD

38 Recommended Practice Pattern PA/NP New Grad (<1yr of clinical experience) Scribe Practice (not favored) Shared Practice (ideal for this group) Side by Side Practice (ideal for fast learner) Inpatient Utilization (ok for fast learner, but need good orientation), PA/NP (1 3 yrs. of clinical experience) Shared Practice Side by Side Practice Autonomous Practice Inpatient Utilization (Ongoing evaluation needed) OR Utilization (Direct supervision and training required) PA/NP (3-5yrs of clinical experience) All practice patterns, Limited direct supervision in OR PA/NP (>5 yrs. of clinical experience) All practices (Information is based on general limited level 3, 4 and 5 data. Individual providers may exhibit varying degree of competency)

39 Compensation and Provider Enrollment

40 Salary Models Salaried Exempt Employees No overtime Moonlighting Opportunity RVU Based compensation Incentive laden Salaries Productivity and Value provides leverage Market Analysis and Adjustments 92-96% of the percentile Critical to Fill positions

41 Provider Enrollenment Medicare and Medicaid Provider Enrollment Chain and Ownership system (PECOS) internet based CAQH Council for Affordable Quality Healthcare Non profit organization formed by various trade associations Streamline provider credentials with third party billers

42 Provider Enrollenment Third Party Billing Everyone is different

43 Regulatory Standards and Compliance

44 Law vs. Regulation Federal laws Federal agencies and VA Stark Laws Limits on practice delivery models with physicians State Laws vs Organizational Bylaws Be aware of laws affecting similar professions Billing and Reimbursement regulations

45 Physician Certification and 2 Midnight rule ACA Calls for all admissions to be certified by a Physician Verbal tuggle of war between Admitting Physician and Ordering Physician CMS 2 MN rule Observation vs Inpatient Admission

46 Hospital Billing Cost Report Employment relationships No Incident too in hospital based clinics Billing opportunties H/P, daytime and after hours Subsequent hospital care Consults, Procedures Surgery Discharges

47 Section 6407 of the ACA established a face-toface encounter requirement for certain items of DME. The law requires that a physician must document that a physician, nurse practitioner, physician assistant, or clinical nurse specialist has had a face-to-face encounter with the patient. The encounter must occur within the 6 months before the order is written for the DME.

56 Time and Motion Study Observe and document the time spent by APPs on their daily responsibilities to determine the average amount of time spent on revenue generating and service value added activities. This data will allow the establishment of Service Value Units (SVUs), which will aid in quantifying an APPs productivity.

57 Methodology APPs were randomly selected based on primary location of work. (i.e. Inpatient, Outpatient, Emergency Department and OB) Use of Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs) PDAs were pre-populated with Current Procedure Terminology (CPT) coded defined services (AMA/CPT 2010) APPs recorded their location and main activity on the PDAs randomly every minutes
