Pricing and Payment: Illustrate Potential Impact Hospitals nationally could collectively lose over $115 million if they choose to maintain the status quo Use Pacific Region Target Prices No credit for historical performance Representative sample 95 hospitals in the So Cal CJR cohort MS-DRG Total Spend Target Price (Pacific Region) NPRA/case Expected Volume (n) Total NPRA 469 $52,841 $48,874 ($3,967) 563 ($2,233,421) 470 $40,678 $23,424 ($17,254) 6,567 ($113,307,018) TOTAL ($115,540,439) Average estimated exposure for So Cal CJR hospitals: $1.2 million per facility Page 13
Pricing and Payment: Payment Mechanics What is at stake for my hospital?...arriving at the NPRA 1. CMS aggregates all of the payments for the care episode 2. Multiply the episode target price by the number of episodes during the performance year 3. Subtract results of Step 1 from Step 2 4. If NPRA is positive, hospital is ENTITLED TO A PAYMENT from CMS (subject to Hospital achieving adequate quality criteria scores), repayment subject to stop gain percentages in applicable PY. 5. If NPRA is negative, hospital REPAYS CMS equal to the negative NPRA amount (no repayment in PY 1, repayment subject to stop loss percentages in applicable PY) Page 14
Cost Variance: Co-Morbid Conditions (So Cal) The Impact of Fracture as a Co-Morbid Diagnosis Fractures comprise about 14% of major joint episodes for all Medicare patients Fracture patients are more complicated cases 2x readmission rate 2x PAC utilization Higher mortality Page 15

Quality Measures 510.400 410 Detail program quality measures that must be in place to participate in the program Program rules define quality measures required NQF 0166 NQF 1550 Consider adding NQF 1551 for quality control (not mandated) Page 21
Beneficiary Notification Requirements Hospitals in the CJR program are required to provide written notification to Medicare beneficiaries: Notice that the hospital is participating in the CJR program Description of the hospital s program List of collaborators, providers with whom the hospital has established relationships for patient care under the program Acknowledgement that Medicare beneficiaries are entitled to receive care from any Medicare provider Hospitals can label certain providers as preferred Individual CJR program beneficiaries may NOT opt out of data sharing Page 22
Financial Arrangements 51.500 515 The Final Rule describes allowed gain sharing arrangements between and among providers: Written agreements among collaborators Hospitals must update compliance programs to include oversight of the CJR program and must create and approve written policies No inducements to limit care, no restrictions on patient choice or selection of equipment Hospitals may pay collaborators Must receive payment from the reconciliation payment Can include internal cost savings attributable to hospital care model redesign Collaborators must contribute to program design and care model redesign Payments made to group practices can only be shared with those physicians or other providers that deliver care to CJR program beneficiaries ( practice collaboration agents ) Lots of detail in the gain sharing rules.we advise having competent counsel involved in the preparation and execution of gain sharing arrangements Page 23
Regulatory Waivers 510.600 620 CJR provides relief for certain, long standing, rules and regulations SNF 3-day rule Post operative billing restrictions Deductible and co-insurance applicable to reconciliation payments Beneficiary protection retained Choice maintained without restrictions Beneficiary notification requirements There is a 20 page OIG waiver document that counsel should review and integrate into your CJR program plan Page 24

The program data delivered to your hospital allows you to assess, report, and control your CJR program investment Page 41
Operations: Model Gain Sharing and Communicate Collaborators need to be actively engaged Communicate early and often Provide simple, meaningful metrics Consider distributing gainsharing on a rolling average Calculate and consider completion factors (IBNR) Page 42
Summary How to Win in the Bundle Payment Environment Page 43
Critical Success Factors 1. The CJR program is an exercise in regression to the mean CMS intends to lower both the overall cost and the cost variation for this procedure 2. As the Episode Initiator, the hospital becomes responsible for the sum total of the claims cost for LEJR for 90 days...this constitutes an opportunity to redesign the care model for this case type to optimize clinical outcome and financial result 3. Hospitals have a great deal of control over the care process and can, within the program rules, deliver those resources that can assure positive clinical and financial outocmes. BDO Center for Healthcare Excellence & Innovation Page 44 44
Critical Success Factors 4. This is a new space for most hospitals nationally... hospitals are learning how to manage outside their walls 5. Data is the key to success in this program... you will need to develop or acquire the ability to process, analyze and distill the program data into useful information that can track program progress. 6. Care management resources that hospitals typically support may not be adequate, as currently configured, to manage the scope and geography of this program BDO Center for Healthcare Excellence & Innovation Page 45 45
The Way Forward How we Can Help Page 46
How We Can Help Initial analyses Data: Analyze and use program data to model performance. Performance: Where are you leaking volume? How do you compare to national and regional benchmarks? Network: What are your current referral patterns? With whom should you partner more closely? Volume/Referrals: What is your share of wallet? where is it leaking? Drivers of leakage? Program development and implementation Care planning: (including optimal PAC plan) at the pre-procedure stage Discharge planning: Facilitate optimal site of care, length of stay and most capable provider for each patient and effect an e-referral for PAC BDO Center for Healthcare Excellence & Innovation Page 47 47
How We Can Help Gain Sharing Design model and administer programs to align collaborators Program Operations Financial projections Financial reconciliation Abstract results/capabilities to support commercial bundle expansion Extend bundled payment operations expertise to other clinical processes and conditions BDO Center for Healthcare Excellence & Innovation Page 48 48
Program Development Process (Example) Reacting effectively to the CJR program involves a deliberate, well coordinated effort that requires a blend of data, analytics, care model redesign, modeling, and consensus building within and outside the hospital walls. 1. Gather data CMS will provide program data; develop other data sources that can be analyzed in advance of and parallel to the CMS data set The CMS data set requires competent assembly, it is not shipped in ready to use format CMS data delivery has been delayed in the past, access to bundle data prior to receiving your organization s data can provide a quick start for program analysis 2. Model program exposure Use the program and comparative data to model CJR program financial exposure Model post acute care cost exposure Identify potential collaborators Describe an optimal collaboration network BDO Center for Healthcare Excellence & Innovation Page 49 49
Program Development Process (Example) 3. Assess internal care processes Develop a clear understanding of internal processes Develop a current state care model Include the post acute assets in the care model 4. Identify transition and care management assets and needs Assess current transition processes from the institution Critically review current care management practices and processes Traditionally constructed hospital case management assets will likely fall short of meeting program needs 5. Develop a care model redesign process Having assessed care processes, conduct a gap analysis and develop a care model redesign pathway Model potential gains against initial program model BDO Center for Healthcare Excellence & Innovation Page 50 50
Program Development Process (Example) 6. Develop the post acute care collaboration network Secure a range of collaborators that have been identified through the data analysis as potentially effective Invest collaborators in the care model design Develop and execute collaboration and gain sharing agreements with selected partners Harmonize program elements with institutional governance requirements ABN notification modification Compliance program and governance oversight 7. Develop operating infrastructure for program support Assemble operating infrastructure components including care management workflow platform, performance dashboards Develop a rolling reconciliation process based on quarterly data feeds from CMS BDO Center for Healthcare Excellence & Innovation Page 51 51
