27 What is DSRIP and Why Now? Delivery System Reform Incentive Payments or DSRIP is the process by which the State of New York and CMS have agreed to allow savings generated by the Medicaid Redesign efforts to be used to reform the delivery of health care to Medicaid recipients.
28 What is DSRIP and Why Now? DSRIP is a demonstration and the State is subject to all the requirements for reporting and evaluation The continuation after the 5 year period will be dependent on the success of the demonstration and any additional requirements negotiated with CMS in the future.
29 What is DSRIP and Why Now? Statewide Accountability: PPS funds received may be reduced for missed milestones statewide The reduction is applied proportionately to all PPSs High Performance Fund payments are not subject to the reduction.
30 What is DSRIP and Why Now? As part of the agreement between New York and CMS, New York is required to take steps to ensure DSRIP investments will be recognized and supported by the state s managed care plans. New York must submit a roadmap in Spring 2015 detailing how contract terms will be amended and provider capacities and efficiencies in managed care rate-setting will be reflected.
31 Performing Provider Systems Responsibilities of Performing Provider System (PPS) must include: Community health care needs assessment based on multi-stakeholder input and objective data. Building and implementing a DSRIP Project Plan based upon the needs assessment in alignment with DSRIP strategies. (Due December 22,2014) Meeting and reporting on DSRIP Project Plan process and outcome milestones. 43 PPS statewide; 25 in Metro NY every major hospital system
32 Project Goals and Focus The goals of DSRIP are: Transformation of the health care safety net at both the system and state level. Reducing avoidable hospital use and improve other health and public health measures at both the system and state level. Ensure delivery system transformation continues beyond the waiver period through leveraging managed care payment reform. Near term financial support for vital safety net providers at immediate risk of closure.
33 Project Goals and Focus Key focus on reducing avoidable hospitalizations by 25% over five years. Statewide initiative open to large public hospital systems and a wide array of safety net providers. Payments are based on performance on process and outcome milestones.
34 Project Goals and Focus Providers must develop projects based upon a selection of CMS approved projects. Key theme is collaboration. Communities of eligible providers will be required to work together to develop DSRIP project proposals.
35 Funds Flow Amounts received will be determined based on performance of the providers engaged on each approved project and the PPS s overall performance in achieving project goals. This can result in significant reductions in payments, even during the first year of DSRIP missing 1 out of 5 milestones, for example, could lead to 20% reduction in funding for that year.
36 Funds Flow Each PPS may also receive additional funds from the High Performance Fund if high performance levels are met. Tier 1 is met when the PPS closes the gap in their DSRIP project plan by 20% between current and high performance levels as defined by DOH Tier 2 is met when the PPS s performance meets or exceeds the 90thpercentile of statewide performance for a specific measure NOTE: Funds can be used to offset losses in revenue due to shift in services.
37 Capital Restructuring Financing Program $1.2 billion over six years for capital projects that will enhance the quality, financial viability and efficiency of the NYS health care delivery system. Apply through one PPS lead; PPS Lead submits Proposal to DOH PPS lead must rank projects in order of priority
38 Capital Restructuring Financing Program Eligible applicants: hospitals; PCPs; home care providers; entities with operating certificates issued by DOH, OMG, OPWDD, OASAS, OMH; assisted living providers; residential health care facilities; licensed clinics Not-for-profit and/or proprietary applicants are eligible Preference will be given to applicants committing matching funds, demonstrate transformational change and/or demonstrate significant financial need
39 Capital Restructuring Financing Program Focus is on projects that support development of primary care, benefit Medicaid and uninsured, and are closely related to DSRIP program goals Funding is available for capital expenditures related to: Planning or design of changes to a fixed asset, including plans/specs/engineering Construction and renovation Asset acquisitions Equipment, including HIT
40 Capital Restructuring Financing Program Funding is not available for expenditures related to: Personnel, supplies, utilities, or other operating costs, or working capital
41 Capital Restructuring Financing Program Capital projects viewed most favorably will: create or expand primary care capacity promote care coordination among providers (for example, development of tele-health infrastructure, medical villages, co-located primary, specialty and behavioral outpatient services) promote patient-centered care (medical and health homes) reduce avoidable hospital & nursing home admissions, ER visits benefit the largest # Medicaid beneficiaries and uninsured individuals
42 Capital Restructuring Financing Program Capital projects viewed most favorably will: include as much funding as possible from other funding sources and represent a significant investment beyond CRFP funding result in a reduction of inpatient beds and the continuation or expansion of ambulatory care and emergency services in a community
43 Capital Restructuring Financing Program Timeframes: Many PPS want letters of intent prior to December 22nd DSRIP Plan submission Applications due to State on February 20, 2015 Many PPS due dates likely to be by mid to late January.
44 ACA Increased Medicaid Enrollment Parity Bundling ACOs
45 Increased Medicaid Enrollment New York State of Health Exchange New York picked up the Medicaid Expansion option The Medicaid population expanding due to effort; each year will continue to increase.
46 Increased Medicaid Enrollment NYS of Health Data April 2014 Total Enrolled in Eligible for Coverage Assistance Medicaid/CHP Eligible Number Selected a Plan 960, , , ,769
47 Parity The largest expansions of mental health and substance use disorder coverage in a generation. In 2014 all new small group and individual market plans will be required to cover ten Essential Health Benefit categories, including mental health and substance use disorder services, and will be required to cover them at parity with medical and surgical benefits.
48 Parity Estimated 32.1 million will gain access to coverage that includes mental health and/or substance use disorder benefits. Estimated additional 30.4 million Americans who currently have some mental health and substance abuse benefits will benefit from the federal parity protections.
49 Parity Individuals who will gain mental health, substance use disorder, or both benefits under the Affordable Care Act, including federal parity protections Individuals with existing mental health and substance use disorder benefits who will benefit from federal parity protections Total individuals who will benefit from federal parity protections as a result of the Affordable Care Act Individuals currently in individual plans 3.9 million 7.1 million 11 million Individuals currently in small group plans 1.2 million 23.3 million 24.5 million Individuals currently uninsured 27 million n/a 27 million Total 32.1 million 30.4 million 62.5 million
50 Bundling Bundled Payments for Care Improvement (BPCI) initiative is comprised of four broadly defined models of care, which link payments for multiple services during an episode of care. Organizations enter into payment arrangements that include financial and performance accountability for episodes of care
51 Bundling In Model 2, the episode of care includes the inpatient stay in the acute care hospital and all related services during the episode. The episode ends either 30, 60, or 90 days after hospital discharge 596 participants, including 76 conveners of health care organizations, representing 1,964 providers are currently in Phase 1 of BPCI Model 2 has 60 Awardees, including 24 conveners of health care organizations, representing 112 providers actively testing the model in Phase 2
52 ACO Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs) are groups of doctors, hospitals, and other health care providers, who come together voluntarily to give coordinated high quality care to their Medicare patients. The goal is to ensure that patients, especially the chronically ill, get the right care at the right time, while avoiding unnecessary duplication of services and preventing medical errors.
53 ACO When an ACO succeeds it will share in the savings it achieves for the Medicare program. Medicare offers several ACO programs: Medicare Shared Savings Program a program that helps a Medicare fee-for-service program providers become an ACO. Advance Payment ACO Model a supplementary incentive program for selected participants in the Shared Savings Program. Pioneer ACO Model a program designed for early adopters of coordinated care. No longer accepting applications.
54 ACO Before an ACO can share in any savings generated, it must demonstrate that it met the quality performance standard for that year 33 quality measures, which span four quality domains: Patient / Caregiver Experience Care Coordination / Patient Safety Preventive Health At-Risk Population
55 ACO Approximately 25 Shared Savings ACOs in New York State No Advance Payment Models One Pioneer Model (Montefiore)
56 ACO CMS is projecting that within a three-year period there will be ACOs coordinating care for 1.5 million to 4 million Medicare beneficiaries nationwide. The Congressional Budget Office estimates that the savings to Medicare over 10 years will be $4.9 billion.
57 ACO A large portion of the savings from the program are expected to come from reduced hospital admissions although the results of prior CMS demonstrations also indicate the potential for significant savings in outpatient services.
58 ACO ACOs had higher quality and better patient experience than published benchmarks compared to previous year performance, the ACOs improved significantly for almost all of the quality and patient experience measures. ACOs in the Pioneer ACO Model and Medicare Shared Shavings Program (Shared Savings Program) also generated over $417 million in savings for Medicare.
59 ACO ACOs qualified for shared savings payments of $460 million. Preliminary quality and financial results from the second year of performance based on 23 Pioneer ACOs and the first year of performance for 220 Shared Savings Program ACOs
