1 Healthcare Financial Management Association October 13 th, 2016 Introduction to Accountable Care Organizations and Clinically Integrated Networks

2 Agenda Define ACO, CIN, and Coordinated Care Review ACO/CIN Activities in SC Basics of ACO/CIN Shared Savings Overview of Population Health Basics Introduction to Operational Considerations of Establishing an ACO/CIN

3 After this session Should be able to define and ACO/CIN and Coordinated Care and there relation to the Triple AIM. Describe Key Concepts of Shared Savings Models. Understand and describe the fundamental operational components to establish a ACO/CIN.

4 Triple AIM Institute for Healthcare Improvement Belief that new designs must be developed to simultaneously pursue Three Dimensions of: Improving Patient Experience (CG-CAPHS) Improving the Health of a Population Quality and Safety Reducing Per Capita Cost Source: IHI.org

5 What is an Accountable Care Organization (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 patients. The goal of coordinated care 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. ACOs success can be measured by reporting quality metrics for defined populations of patients and spending health care dollars more wisely leading to lower costs. 6 Source: Healthcatalyst.com

6 CIN vs ACO Clinically Integrated Network (CIN) Network of otherwise independent physician who collectively commit to quality and cost improvement Multi-specialty in nature Quality and Cost goals established System to monitor performance Physician-led governance structure Contracting with commercial payers/employers Rule of Thumb generally refers to commercial based incentive programs/contracts (e.g. direct to employer contracts) Source: Advisory.com

7 CIN vs ACO Accountable Care Organization (ACO) CMS maintains specific definition and rules for ACOs participating in Medicare Shared Savings programs Broadly and ACO is: Group of providers potentially including physicians, hospitals, post-acute care providers who have collective responsibility for a patient population outcomes Rule of Thumb: Generally refer to programs that involve government based incentive programs/contracts (e.g. MSSP) Source: Advisory.com

13 Basic Types of Shared Savings Programs CMS Based Medicare Shared Savings Programs Multiple Tracks Track 1: One sided Track 2 & 3: Two sided risk Next Gen: Great risk & Capitated Options all-inclusive population based payments (AIBPB) CMS with Commercial Payer Medicare Advantage Programs Commercial Based Programs Various models, Total spend or per-patient models Typically up-side only, some double sided risk Networks generally start with their employees

14 How does a Shared Savings 1. Patient Pool Assigned Contract Work? 2. Fee for service payments continues 3. Cost Target Established (Key Concept) 4. Quality & Patient Satisfaction goals must be met 5. Network distributed savings to stakeholders (Supporting System and physicians)

15 Step 1: Patient Assignment Medicare Shared Savings (Track 1) Patients are attributed to Network through use of Primary Care Physicians Network must meet minimum Threshold of 5,000 patients to Initiate an MSSP program Patients are assigned based on Physicians they see MSSP Track 3 Patients are assigned prospectively Commercial Contract Plan Options may Assign patients prospectively Or through use (attribution)

16 Providers Get Standard Fee for Service Step 2: Billing

17 Step 3: Comparison Cost Based on Number of Beneficiaries CMS sets a Minimum Savings Rate (MSR) Quality Network must report Quality Performance data in year one Subsequent years Quality Performance tied to a threshold

18 MSSP Minimum Shared Rate (MSR)

19 Year 1: Report Year 2: Performance Quality Performance Patient Experience Care Coordination Preventive Health At-Risk Populations

20 Step 4 & 5: Bonus & Distributions

21 Shared Saving Example Mission Point Health Partners Tennessee Medicare Shared Savings Track 1 Attributed Lives: 23,711 Benchmark Expenditures: $276,551,602 Minimum Savings Rate: 2.46%

22 Shared Savings Example $276.5 M $269.7 M 2.46% $6.81 M $267.3 M 3.3% $9.22 M Achieved MSR Eligible for 50% of Savings $9.22 M X 50%= $4.51 M Benchmark Expenses Minimum Savings Rate Actual Performance Distributed To Participants

23 Risk Considerations Cost targets for Shared Savings are typically determined in two ways Medical loss ratio (MLR) Historic Cost Trends MSSP If risk is consider for target adjustments, typically age and sex are only risk considerations Other possible consideration: Commercial market rate inflation Cost inflation in various spend categories (Med vs. Rx) Is population assigned prospectively or through attribution?

24 Population Health Management Basics 1. Organize a Healthcare Delivery Network that can appropriately service the given populations needs. (e.g. Primary Care Physicians, Specialist, and Hospitals) 2. Clinically defining the populations of patients for which the organization anticipates assuming risk. 3. Developing a system for improving the quality of care for the given population and ensuring appropriate amount of care is delivered. 4. Developing a system to eliminate waste within care delivery process which ultimately reduces cost
