Background NYS Medicaid in 2010: The Crisis

  • > 10% growth rate had become

unsustainable, while quality outcomes were lagging

  • Costs per recipient were double the national

average

  • NY ranked 50th in country for avoidable

hospital use

  • 21st for overall Health System Quality

CARE MEASURE NATIONAL RANKING

Avoidable Hospital Use and Cost

 Percent home health patients with a hospital admission  Percent nursing home residents with a hospital admission  Hospital admissions for pediatric asthma  Medicare ambulatory sensitive condition admissions  Medicare hospital length of stay

Creation of Medicaid Redesign Team – A Major Step Forward

  • In 2011, Governor Cuomo created the Medicaid

Redesign Team (MRT).

  • Made up of 27 stakeholders representing every

sector of healthcare delivery system

  • Developed a series of recommendations to lower

immediate spending and propose reforms

  • Closely tied to implementation of ACA in NYS
  • The MRT developed a multi-year action plan. We

are still implementing that plan today

September 2016

  • Part of the MRT plan was to obtain a 1115 Waiver which would reinvest MRT generated

federal savings back into New York’s health care delivery system

  • In April 2014, New York State and CMS finalized the Waiver Amendment
  • Allows the State to reinvest $8 billion of $17.1 billion in Federal savings generated by MRT

reforms

  • $7.3 billion is designated for Delivery System Reform Incentive Payment Program (DSRIP)
  • The waiver will:
  • Transform the State’s health care system
  • Bend the Medicaid cost curve
  • Assure access to quality care for all Medicaid members
  • Create a financial sustainable safety net infrastructure

The 2014 MRT Waiver Amendment furthers New York State’s Reform Goals

Delivery Reform and Payment Reform: Two Sides of the Same Coin

  • A thorough transformation of the delivery system

can only become and remain successful when the payment system is transformed as well

  • Many of NYS system’s problems (fragmentation,

high re-admission rates) are rooted in how the State pays for services

  • Fee-for-Service (FFS) pays for inputs rather

than outcome; an avoidable readmission is rewarded more than a successful transition to integrated home care

  • Current payment systems do not adequately

incentivize prevention, coordination, or integration

Financial and regulatory incentives drive… a delivery system which realizes… cost efficiency and quality

  • utcomes: value

The Old World: Fee for Service; Each in its Own Silo

  • There is no incentive for coordination or integration across the continuum of care
  • Much Value is destroyed along the way:
  • Quality of patient care & patient experience
  • Avoidable costs due to lack of coordination, rework, including avoidable hospital use
  • Avoidable complications, also leading to avoidable hospital use

Moving to a New World

VBP arrangements are not intended primarily to save money for the State, but to allow providers to increase their margins by realizing value

Goal – Pay for Value not Volume September 2016

Payment Reform: Moving Toward VBP

  • A Five-Year Roadmap outlining NYS’ plan for Medicaid Payment Reform was required by

the MRT Waiver

  • By DSRIP Year 5 (2019), all Managed Care Organizations must employ non fee-for-

service payment systems that reward value over volume for at least 80-90% of their provider payments (outlined in the Special Terms and Conditions of the waiver)

  • The State and CMS are committed to the Roadmap
  • Core stakeholders (providers, MCOs, unions, patient organizations) have actively

collaborated in the creation of the Roadmap

  • If Roadmap goals are not met, overall DSRIP dollars from CMS to NYS will be

significantly reduced

How DSRIP and VBP Work Together

Old world:

  • FFS
  • Individual provider was anchor for

financing and quality measurement

  • Volume over Value

New world:

  • VBP arrangements
  • Integrated care services for

patients are anchor for financing and quality measurement

  • Value over Volume

MCOs and Contractors can Choose Different Levels

  • f Value Based Payments

In addition to choosing which integrated services to focus on, the MCOs and contractors can choose different levels of Value Based Payments:

Level 0 VBP* Level 1 VBP Level 2 VBP Level 3 VBP (feasible after experience with Level 2; requires mature contractors) FFS with bonus and/or withhold based on quality scores FFS with upside-only shared savings available when outcome scores are sufficient (For PCMH/IPC, FFS may be complemented with PMPM subsidy) FFS with risk sharing (upside available when outcome scores are sufficient) Prospective capitation PMPM or Bundle (with outcome-based component) FFS Payments FFS Payments FFS Payments Prospective total budget payments No Risk Sharing  Upside Risk Only  Upside & Downside Risk  Upside & Downside Risk *Level 0 is not considered to be a sufficient move away from traditional fee-for-service incentives to be counted as value based payment in the terms of the NYS VBP Roadmap.

Vision Behind This Approach

  • Flexibility for Providers and MCOs
  • Local circumstances differ:
  • Provider readiness
  • Demographics & geography
  • Health care is very heterogeneous

Financial and regulatory incentives drive… a delivery system which realizes… cost efficiency and quality

  • utcomes: value

Healthy people

Population health: prevention, screening, health education, monitoring

People with acute conditions

Rapid, effective, efficient and patient-centered diagnosis, treatment, rehabilitation and follow-up

People with chronic conditions

Patient-directed, continuous, effective, efficient disease management, incl. secondary prevention and focus on life style & social determinants

People with multiple conditions

Patient-directed, continuous, quality of life focused care coordination

  • Different types of outcomes

that are relevant

  • Different role for the

member/patient

  • Different models of care
  • Different organizational forms
  • Different payment models

Financial Incentives for VBP Contractors and Other Providers: Shared Savings and More

  • Potential for shared savings: incentives for a

reduction in net spending for a defined patient population/bundle, and reinvestment of those savings back into the provider system

  • Performance adjustments for those VBP

contractors that are high value performers before the contract year starts

  • Stimulus adjustments for those VBP contractors

moving to Level 2 or higher

  • All these incentives have their opposites: shared

losses, downward performance adjustments, penalties for providers that could but are not moving to VBP

Opportunities for Savings across the Entire Care Path

Nursing Home Home Care

  • Prevent All‐Cause Hospitalizations
  • Transition lower acuity members to

community settings

  • Care planning to enhance members

activities of daily living (ADLs) and reduce care needs

  • Preventing or delaying institutional care
  • Prevent All‐Cause Hospitalizations

Important Cost Drivers for the ML TC Population

Volume PACs Service Mix Cost Drivers Price

The price of a service can vary based on providers’ own costs (e.g. wages). The volume of services rendered (e.g. nursing home use). Potentially avoidable complications (e.g. exacerbations). The mix of services and intensity of care received during the episode (e.g. inpatient vs. outpatient point of care).

MCOs will subsequently drive providers to improve this value of

  • care. VBP arrangements and insight in the potential

performance of providers will be actionable entry point for MCOs Providers: Deliver better quality and efficient care for Medicaid beneficiaries, allowing for further re-investment into the delivery system

Alignment Will Be Implemented From 2017 Onwards

Feedback-loop facilitates control

  • f the overall

Medicaid spend

The State will adjust MCO premiums based on value delivered to their total membership per VBP arrangement type (whether actually contracted or not) and on meeting yearly targets to move to 80-90% VBP.

Contracting Entities/VBP Contractors

September 2016

slide-21
SLIDE 21

VBP Contractor Definition

A VBP contractor is the entity that contracts the VBP arrangement with the MCO. This can be:

  • Accountable Care Organization (ACO)
  • Independent Physician Association (IPA)
  • Individual provider (either assuming all responsibility and upside/downside risk
  • r subcontracting with other providers)
  • Individual providers brought together by an MCO to create a VBP

arrangement through individual contracts with these providers

Note: A PPS is not a legal entity and therefore cannot be a VBP contractor. However, a PPS can form one of the entities above to be considered a VBP contractor. September 2016

slide-22
SLIDE 22

22

VBP Contractors: Accountable Care Organization

  • An Accountable Care Organization is an organization of clinically integrated health

care providers that work together to provide, manage, and coordinate health care (including primary care) for a defined population; with a mechanism for shared governance; the ability to negotiate, receive, and distribute payments; and accountability for the quality, cost, and delivery of health care to the ACO’s patients

  • Medicare-only ACO (approved by CMS) for Medicare population
  • Medicare ACO does not make you a Medicaid ACO and vice versa*
  • IPAs may be certified by DOH as an ACO

*There is an expedited approval process for Medicare ACOs to become Medicaid ACOs.

September 2016

slide-23
SLIDE 23

23

VBP Contractors: Independent Practice Association

  • An Independent Practice Association is a corporation (nonprofit or for-profit)

and/or LLC that contracts directly with providers of medical or medically related services, or another IPA in order to contract with one or more MCOs to make the services of such providers available to the enrollees of an MCO.

  • Who negotiates the IPA contract?
  • What is the governance of the IPA?
  • Who should the individual provider look to if there are questions and/or

concerns?

September 2016

slide-24
SLIDE 24

24

VBP Contractors: Independent Practice Association

  • IPAs facilitate network development and access
  • Single signature authority
  • Typically for a category of services amongst competing providers

(could be with providers across the care continuum)

  • Allows providers to maintain independence regarding governance and

clinical decision-making

  • IPAs are not unions or guilds
  • Antitrust concerns related to collective negotiation
  • To avoid antitrust concerns, IPAs are usually entities that share risk or are

clinically integrated

  • IPAs can provide administrative services to providers who participate in

the IPA and/or management services to MCOs

Quality Measures

VBP Arrangements are conditioned upon meeting certain quality outcomes or targets:

  • Outcome measures
  • Reducing medically unnecessary services – e.g., inpatient hospitalizations and

readmissions

  • Process measures
  • Providing proper follow-up care with a Behavioral Health/Substance Use

Disorder provider after inpatient hospitalization

  • Medication adherence
  • Reporting of data

Setting Shared Savings/Losses Percentages

VBP Arrangement Guideline Level 1

  • Starting point for shared savings percentage negotiations should be 50% of savings to

be retained by providers, other 50% - by MCO Level 2

  • Starting point for shared savings percentage negotiations should be 90% of savings to

be retained by providers, 10% by MCO

  • Shared savings and losses percentages may be modified dependent on the type of

risk protection mechanisms (such as stop loss or risk corridors) that are implemented to limit total provider risk.

Below is a guideline for the distribution of the shared savings. This should be subject to contract negotiations.

Population Size Considerations

  • The size of your population matters – larger samples help

better understand cost trends and population behaviors

  • That said, more people doesn’t mean less individual case

variation

  • It is not recommended to contract VBP arrangements for

small population groups

  • Severity adjustment does work when applied properly (on

larger population samples)

Cost Distribution of Episodes

Financial risk is asymmetrical:

  • you can’t produce care for

an episode for $0 (meaning there are limited savings)

  • but you can potentially lose

a lot on a single case. The majority of high costs in an episode is driven by Potentially Avoidable Complications (PACs).

Understanding Asymmetrical Risk – Case Study

  • We randomized 200 patients in 1000 physicians, created severity adjusted

budgets and compared the budget to actual, and netted out the variance across all 200 patients to end up with a net saving or loss.

  • We then simulated the effect on providers based on four different types of risk

contracts – upside only, 100% upside/60% downside, 50/50 up/down, 100/100 up/down.

  • We then simulated the effect when (a) patients are randomly distributed, (b)

the provider has a moderately higher rate of severe patients, (c) a much higher rate of severe patients, and (d) a very high rate of severe patients.

Implications for Equal Saving/Loss Sharing

  • Even when adjusting for patient severity, a random assignment of patients

yields a slightly greater potential for losses than savings because of the asymmetrical nature of savings/losses.

  • A slight overweighting of greater than average severe patients can cause a

greater imbalance in the potential for savings/losses by provider.

  • A large overweighting of very severe patients will almost always result in

provider losses. The opposite is also true.

  • It’s possible to level the playing field up front, and then provider performance

does the rest.

Managing Financial Risk in a Fixed Price Contract

  • The provider is at risk for the excess costs over the prospective budget, up to

the stop loss per episode

  • The budget is severity adjusted
  • The extent to which a provider is already highly efficient, a margin can be

negotiated

  • The “Donut Hole” contains manageable risk
  • There can be an aggregate stop loss in addition to a per episode stop-loss
  • In the Level 1 “upside only risk” model, the stop loss = budget
  • But there is a cost to stop-loss for the payer

September 2016

slide-52
SLIDE 52

52

Considerations on Stop Loss

  • 1. Payers and providers have to think thoroughly about the stop loss amount.

Providers should be ready to pay stop loss premiums or reconsider their % of shared savings in order to stay protected

  • 2. It is important to remember that the lower the stop loss threshold, the

higher the stop loss “premium” and vice versa

  • 3. Payers and providers can negotiate a “premium” for the stop loss, which

would be equivalent to the payer’s estimated costs for instituting the stop loss, spread across all of a provider’s bundles and result in a budget reduction.

September 2016

slide-53
SLIDE 53

53

Considerations on Stop Loss (cont.)

  • 4. The payer cost of stop-loss can be estimated by calculating the total costs

in the tail of the episode cost distribution above the individual episode stop-loss

  • 5. The potential for provider loss (the “Donut Hole”) can be estimated by

calculating the area of the episode cost distribution above the average bundle price and the stop loss limit

  • 6. The potential for provider savings can be estimated by calculating the

area of the distribution above the actual and up to the average bundle price

SLIDE 54

Effects of Stop Loss on Budget and Savings/Losses

Minimum “Production Costs”

Budget w/ Premium

Stop Loss Amount

Reducing the stop-loss has two effects:

  • 1. Budgets are reduced

because past high cost cases are trimmed

  • 2. Budgets are further

reduced by the “excess stop-loss” insurance There is a point of diminishing returns in reducing stop-loss limits.

  • The potential for savings decreases as the budget is lowered towards the minimum

production costs of the arrangement, and

  • The potential for losses increases to the point where all cases could generate a loss

September 2016

slide-55
SLIDE 55

55

Margins Could be Considered for Highly Efficient Providers

A margin is a percentage negotiated by the payer and provider, which is added to the expected or budgeted typical costs (not to costs of potentially avoidable complications). You can’t produce a bundle for $0, and there is an absolute floor that could be calculated. Providers close to the floor need a margin to reinvest in continuous performance improvement.

September 2016

slide-56
SLIDE 56

56

General Risk Considerations

  • Because of the asymmetrical distribution of savings and losses, you can’t

produce good care management of a patient with a chronic disease for $0, but you can potentially end up with patients that have very high costs of PACs – consider asymmetrical risk-sharing contracts.

  • Using a stop-loss mitigates the asymmetry by limiting the losses.
  • The specific savings sharing formula can be informed by the shape of the

episode cost distribution and the level of stop-loss.

  • Once the up front odds have been leveled, the end result is a function of

provider performance, not chance.

Summary of Financial Risk Management Strategies

1 Upside/downside risk sharing arrangements don’t have to be symmetrical 2 Stop losses are for individual cases and can be in aggregate. There is a cost to a stop loss because the payer assumes the risk. “Excess” stop- loss insurance should come in reduction of the target budget/price 3 Defined margins are important to insulate providers from incurring losses because their potential for achieving further efficiencies is low 4 Quality scorecards can be used to encourage continued quality improvement even when providers have a bad financial year, and can be used to limit upside risk when quality doesn’t improve or fails to meet a certain threshold performance

What are the Next Steps in VBP Implementation?

  • NYS has developed a 2 year (2016 – 2018) VBP Pilot program, to support providers and

payers in adopting and implementing VBP arrangements, supporting the State’s transition to VBP.

  • The Managed Long-Term Care Clinical Advisory Group (CAG) will reconvene in

2017(when necessary), to investigate key lessons learned and understand how these lessons may further refine the VBP arrangement.

  • New Subcommittees and Workgroups will be held to address outstanding issues and

keep abreast of needs that may arise during implementation.

  • The State will run VBP Bootcamps across the State, to share foundational VBP

knowledge.
