TransforMED came to Utah for a week and accompanied us to visit with each clinic team. HealthInsight facilitators developed the overall deployment strategy for the pilot. Facilitators are meeting with clinics regularly to assist them in PCMH transformation. Clinics are rapidly progressing in meeting goals developed PDSAs for early wins, such as establishing staff huddles and developing referral-tracking mechanisms. Communications Plan: Our PCMH Communications team is working with a private advertising company to develop a strategy to promote Medical Homes in Utah. The strategy will include a campaign for direct-to-consumer awareness around "What is a medical home and why should I want one." Also, our PCMH team is developing a series of PCMH webinars available to any provider in Utah geared to informing and educating medical staff and providers about the medical home model. The first one is July 18, 2013, from Noon-1 pm, and will provide attendees with a basic overview of PCMH what it is and why it is important to Utah providers. Please let us know if you d like to register for the event, and we can send you registration information. 6.

26 Healthcare Cost Transparency Local and National Discussion Clare Tobin Lence HealthInsight Utah Partnership for Value June 20, 2013

27 Public Discussion National buzz Time Magazine article Bitter Pill: Why Medical Bills Are Killing Us CMS releases chargemaster data Downloaded 100,000 times in the first week Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Challenge Senate Finance Committee Hearing Local buzz Salt Lake Tribune article Obama Administration Lifts Veil Off Hospital Pricing

28 What is chargemaster data? A hospital s price list Medicare pays much less, paying an amount they consider to be the cost of providing care (including operating overhead, administration, etc.) Commercial insurers negotiate certain percentage discounts based on the chargemaster or the Medicare rates they pay more than Medicare but less than the chargemaster Uninsured or under insured patients are the most likely to be charged the chargemaster rates

29 What can be done with these data? Limitations Not actual amount paid Insured consumers are insulated from cost by co pays, co insurance, etc. Hospitals may set prices higher to offer larger percentage discounts to payers, for example Potential HealthInsight starting to look at this data using adjustment by casemix index

30 Benefits of Cost Transparency Reduced variation in cost Increased equity of cost burden Reduced market power in the ultimate seller s market More competition and lower prices Greater consumer empowerment Reduced overall system costs Ability to assess how and why we are overspending, where the money is going and how to get it back The real problem is that prices are too high
