2 A Short Quiz QUESTION #1: Which U.S. industry told its employees every year for the past decade that their pay would be cut by 15-30% regardless of how well they performed? 2
3 A Short Quiz QUESTION #1: Which U.S. industry told its employees every year for the past decade that their pay would be cut by 15-30% regardless of how well they performed? ANSWER: Health Care 3
4 Medicare SGR Is Now Gone, But Physician Pay Is Behind Inflation 28% Lower Than Inflation If SGR Cut Had Been Made 4
5 A Short Quiz QUESTION #2: In which U.S. industry can one set of employees only get a raise if other employees take a pay cut, even when the business is performing well? 5
6 A Short Quiz QUESTION #2: In which U.S. industry can one set of employees only get a raise if other employees take a pay cut, even when the business is performing well? ANSWER: Health Care 6
7 Even Without the SGR, Physician Pay Must Be Budget-Neutral Physician Payment Budget Neutrality Payments for Specialists Payments for Specialists Payments for PCPs Payments for PCPs 7

13 A Short Quiz QUESTION #4: Who is to blame for the way physicians are paid and micromanaged? 13
14 A Short Quiz QUESTION #4: Who is to blame for the way physicians are paid and micromanaged? ANSWER: Physicians 14
15 The Blame Rests With Physicians Physicians haven t defined solutions to control healthcare costs without rationing Physicians have allowed themselves to be seen as the causes of higher spending Physicians haven t defined payment models that will support lower-cost, higherquality care and maintain financial viability for physician practices Physicians aren t organized to manage and deliver high-value population health care to purchasers and patients 15
16 Three Paths to the Future: Which Door Will Doctors Choose? FUTURE #1 SGR Repeal FUTURE #2 FUTURE #3 16
17 Door #1: Pay for Performance (AKA Value Based Purchasing ) PAY FOR PERFORMANCE ( Value-Based Purchasing ) ( Merit-Based Incentive Payment System ) SGR Repeal 17
18 PROBLEM The Problem That P4P Was Supposed to Solve Physicians are paid the same amount under fee-for-service regardless of the quality of care they deliver 18
19 Bad Solutions Developed by CMS and Other Payers PROBLEM Physicians are paid the same amount under fee-for-service regardless of the quality of care they deliver BAD P4P Requiring physicians to deliver high-quality care regardless of whether they are paid adequately to do so Penalizing physicians for quality problems they did not cause and cannot control Penalizing physicians when patients don t receive services they don t need or want 19
20 Do Physicians Need Incentives to Deliver Higher Value Care? $ Bonus Penalty FFS P4P QUALITY MEASURES Mammograms Flu Vaccine Tobacco Counseling HbA1c Control RESOURCE USE MEASURES Total Spending per Patient Spending Per Episode of Care 20
21 The Problem Isn t Incentives But Lack of Adequate FFS Payment $ QUALITY A small bonus may not be MEASURES enough to pay for delivering Mammograms a high-value service or for Flu Vaccine the added costs of improving Tobacco Counseling quality HbA1c Control A small bonus may not be RESOURCE USE enough to offset the costs of MEASURES collecting and reporting the Total Spending quality data per Patient Spending A small penalty may be less Per Episode Bonus of Care than the loss of Penalty fee-for-service revenue from healthier patients or FFS lower utilization Unpaid Services P4P 21
22 Quality Reporting Alone Costs Physicians $15 Billion 22
23 MIPS is Just More P4P On Top of the Same FFS $ +x% -4.5% +x% -6% +x% -9% +x% -10% +4% -4% +5% -5% +7% -7% +9% -9% +9% -9% +9% -9% FFS + PQRS + MU + VBM FFS + PQRS + MU + VBM FFS + PQRS + MU + VBM FFS + PQRS + MU + VBM FFS + MIPS FFS + MIPS FFS + MIPS FFS + MIPS FFS + MIPS FFS + MIPS MIPS Merit-Based Incentive Payment System Quality Resource Use Clinical Practice Improvement Activities EHR Meaningful Use 50% -> 30% 10% -> 30% 15% 25% 23

25 Door #1: Accountability Without Resources or Flexibility PAY FOR PERFORMANCE ( Value-Based Purchasing ) ( Merit-Based Incentive Payment System ) SGR Repeal Accountability for: Quality Measures Meaningful Use Practice Improvement Total Spending on Patients No Change in What Physicians are Paid For or How They re Paid 25
26 Door #2: Alternative Payment Models PAY FOR PERFORMANCE ( Value-Based Purchasing ) ( Merit-Based Incentive Payment System ) SGR Repeal ALTERNATIVE PAYMENT MODELS (APMs) 26
27 PROBLEM The Need for Alternative Payment Models Barriers in fee-for-service prevent physicians from delivering higher-quality care at lower total cost 27
28 The Need for Alternative Payment Models PROBLEM Barriers in fee-for-service prevent physicians from delivering higher-quality care at lower total cost BARRIER #1 No payment or inadequate payment for many high-value services, e.g., Responding to patient phone calls that can avoid office or ER visits Calls among physicians to determine a diagnosis or coordinate care delivery Hiring nurses to help chronic disease patient avoid exacerbations Providing palliative care, not just hospice BARRIER #2 Loss of revenue when patients stay healthy and don t need procedures 28
29 Bad Alternative Payment Models From CMS and Other Payers PROBLEM Barriers in fee-for-service prevent physicians from delivering higher-quality care at lower total cost BAD PAYMENT MODELS Paying for high-value services only if physicians can reduce total spending Dictating how care should be provided in order to increase payments Paying physicians more if their patients receive fewer services Paying physicians the same amount for all services patients need regardless of how sick the patients are 29

134 Protections For Physicians Against Taking Inappropriate Risk Risk Stratification: The payment rates would vary based on objective characteristics of the patient and treatment that would be expected to result in the need for more services or increase the risk of complications. Outlier Payment or Individual Stop Loss Insurance: The payment would be increased if spending on an individual patient exceeds a pre-defined threshold. An alternative would be for the provider to purchase individual stop loss insurance (sometimes referred to as reinsurance) and include the cost of the insurance in the payment bundle. Risk Corridors or Aggregate Stop Loss Insurance: The payment would be increased if spending on all patients exceeds a pre-defined percentage above the payments. An alternative would be for the provider to purchase aggregate stop loss insurance and include the cost of the insurance in the payment bundle. Adjustment for External Price Changes: The payment would be adjusted for changes in the prices of drugs or services from other providers that are beyond the control of the provider accepting the payment. Excluded Services: Services the provider does not deliver, or order, or otherwise have the ability to influence would not be included as part of accountability measures in the payment system. 134

The Kaiser Family Foundation and Health Research and Educational Trust; State-Level Trends in Employer- Sponsored Health Insurance, April State Health Access Data Assistance Center and Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Fewer employees than typical physician practice panel size 136
137 The Keys to Managing Risk How Do Small Employers Manage Self-Insurance Risk? They know who their employees are and can estimate spending They start with what they spent last year and try to control growth They have reserves to cover year-to-year variation They purchase stop-loss insurance to cover unusually expensive cases 137
138 The Keys to Managing Risk How Do Small Employers Manage Self-Insurance Risk? They know who their employees are and can estimate spending They start with what they spent last year and try to control growth They have reserves to cover year-to-year variation They purchase stop-loss insurance to cover unusually expensive cases How Would Physician Practices Manage Risk? They need to know who their patients are in order to project spending They need to start with last year s payments and control growth They need some reserves to cover year-to-year variation They purchase stop-loss insurance to cover unusually expensive cases (if the payment system does not incorporate outlier payments) 138
