2 Objective After the session, you will be able to: Understand the key components of the Cardiac Episode Payment Models (EPMs) Understand actions that hospitals can take to prepare for EPMs 2016 MFMER slide-2

3 Agenda I. Changing Payment Landscape II. EPM Bundling Methodology & Reconciliation III. Preparation for EPMs 2016 MFMER slide-3

4 Overview Proposed Rule on 8/2/16 Proposed Changes: Three new episode payment models (EPMs) A cardiac rehabilitation (CR) incentive payment model Refinements to the CJR model 2016 MFMER slide-4

5 Changing Payment Landscape 2016 MFMER slide-5

6 CMS Movement Toward Greater Risk P4P Bundled Payments Shared Savings Shared Risk Full Risk Hospital VBP Program Hospital Readmissions Reduction Program HAC Reduction Program Merit-Based Incentive Payment System BPCI Comprehensive Care for Joint Replacement (CCJR) Model EPMs for SHFFT, AMI and CABG MSSP Track 1 (50% sharing) MSSP Track 2 (60% sharing) MSSP Track 3 (up to 75% sharing) Next Generation ACO Model (80-85% shared savings option) Next Generation ACO Model (full risk option) Medicare Advantage (providersponsored) 2016 MFMER slide-6

8 EPM Bundling Methodology & Reconciliation 2016 MFMER slide-8

9 What is an Episode Payment Model? 2016 MFMER slide-9

10 EPM Episode Definition: Services Included Initiated by a hospital admission All care during index hospitalization through 90 days post discharge 90-day post discharge services include: Physician services Hospital readmissions and outpatient Clinical laboratory Outpatient therapy DME and Part B drugs Post-acute care IPF, LTCH, IRF, SNF, HHA, Hospice 2016 MFMER slide-10

11 EPM Episode Definition: Beneficiaries Enrolled in Medicare Part A and Part B throughout duration of episode Excludes those: Eligible on basis of ESRD Enrolled in Medicare Advantage Covered under United Mine Workers of America health plan Aligned to an ACO Under care of a BPCI Model Deaths during anchor admission/chain 2016 MFMER slide-11

12 EPM Episode Definition: Services Excluded Acute diseases unrelated to a condition resulting from or likely to have been affected care during the EPM episode Certain chronic diseases, depending on whether the condition was likely to have been affected by care during the EPM episode or whether substantial services were likely to be provided for the chronic condition during the EPM episode 2016 MFMER slide-12

13 What is an Episode Payment Model? What types of providers are impacted? 2016 MFMER slide-13

14 Providers Impacted IPPS Hospitals 98 randomly selected metropolitan statistical areas (MSAs), with limited exceptions 2016 MFMER slide-14

15 What is an Episode Payment Model? What types of providers are impacted? Why is CMS targeting this area? 2016 MFMER slide-15

16 Goals of EPMs Better care for patients through more coordinated, higher quality care during and after select episodes or care periods 2016 MFMER slide-16

17 Goals of EPMs Smarter spending of health care dollars by holding hospitals accountable for total episode spending, not just inpatient costs, and incentivizing use of high value services during care periods 2016 MFMER slide-17

18 Goals of EPMs Healthier People and Communities by improving coordination in health care and by connecting care across hospitals, physicians, and other health care providers 2016 MFMER slide-18
