2 How it works The Resource Based Relative Value Scale assigns weighted values (called relative value units) to most procedure codes Payers calculate a conversion factor to assign dollar amounts to the relative value unit Relative value unit Conversion factor Reimbursem ent rate 11/14/2017 Minnesota Department of Human Services mn.gov/dhs 3 Components of the relative value unit Physician work Practice expense Nonfacility Facility Malpractice expense 11/14/2017 Minnesota Department of Human Services mn.gov/dhs 4 2
3 Geographic practice cost indices Adjustments to account for geographic variations in the costs of practicing medicine in different areas across the country Applied to each of the three relative value unit components used in calculating a rate 1/09/2017 Minnesota Department of Human Services mn.gov/dhs 5 Resource Based Relative Value Scale outpatient rate formula RVU: relative value unit GPCI: geographic practice cost indices Physician work RVU Physician work expense GPCI Practice expense RVU Practice expense GPCI Malpractice insurance RVU Malpractice insurance GPCI Total relative value unit Total RVU Conversion factor Total payment 1/09/2017 Minnesota Department of Human Services mn.gov/dhs 6 3
4 Conversion factor Used to convert relative value units to a dollar amount for payment Can be used to increase or decrease the final rate calculation for a procedure code Medicare program changes annually 1/09/2017 Minnesota Department of Human Services mn.gov/dhs Minnesota Medicaid conversion factors $27.92: evaluation and management and OB procedure codes Example: $32.49: mental health procedure codes $25.55: radiology and all other codes RVU x $25.55 conversion factor= $ In 2016, the reimbursement rate was $ /09/2017 Minnesota Department of Human Services mn.gov/dhs 8 4

6 Add ons and cutbacks Examples: 10 percent reduction for nurse practitioners, physician assistants and clinical nurse specialists 20 percent reduction for master s prepared mental health providers 12 percent reduction for professional services 3 percent reduction for basic care services per legislation effective July 1, percent add on for professional services 3 percent add on for basic care services per legislation effective Sept. 1, percent MinnesotaCare tax 11/14/ Affect of add ons and cutbacks Office visit (99213) for a gynecological exam performed by a physician in private practice: $ Office visit (99213) for a gynecological exam performed by the same physician in a public or community health clinic:$ That amount would be reduced to $72.86 as statute requires that the state not pay more than the Medicare allowed rate. 11/14/

8 Why change the payment methodology? Outdated Inflexible Inconsistent Complex 11/14/2017 Minnesota Department of Human Services mn.gov/dhs 15 Costs change 8
9 The goal Identify a comprehensive set of payment methodologies that are simple to update and better reflect industry changes that impact the costs and resources necessary to deliver services within various settings and under various conditions, while also being transparent to providers and consumers. Study of outpatient rates Review and analysis of all outpatient rates for services covered under Medical Assistance. Identify issues within the current payment systems Recommend alternative rate methods based on industry best practices Address any issues and provide necessary flexibility to promote policy objectives 18 9
