Today, we face major health care challenges in Arkansas

The health status of Arkansans is poor

: the state is ranked at or near the bottom of all states on national health indicators, such as heart disease and diabetes

The health care system is hard for patients to navigate

,

and it does not reward providers who work as a team to coordinate care for patients

Health care spending is growing unsustainably:

Insurance premiums doubled for employers and families in past 10 years (adding to uninsured population)

2

Our vision to improve care for Arkansas is a comprehensive, patient centered delivery system

Focus today

Objectives For patients

▪ ▪ ▪

Improve the health of the population Enhance the patient experience of care Enable patients to take an active role in their care

For providers

▪ ▪

Reward providers for high quality, efficient care Reduce or control the cost of care

How care is delivered Four aspects of broader program Population-based care

▪ ▪

Medical homes Health homes

Episode-based care

▪ Acute, post-acute, or select chronic conditions

Results-based

and

personal responsibility

Medicaid and private insurers believe paying for results, not just individual services, is the best option to improve quality and control costs

This initiative aims to…

 Transition to a payment system that

rewards value and patient health outcomes

by aligning financial incentives 

Reduce payment levels for all providers

regardless of their quality of care or efficiency in managing costs

This initiative DOES NOT aim to

  

Pass growing costs on to consumers

through higher premiums, deductibles and co-pays (private payers), or higher taxes (Medicaid)

Intensify payer intervention in decisions though managed care or elimination of

expensive services (e.g. through prior authorizations) based on restrictive guidelines

Eliminate coverage of

expensive services or eligibility 4

Principles of payment design for Arkansas Patient centered

Focus on improving quality, patient experience and cost efficiency

Clinically appropriate

Design based on evidence, with close input from Arkansas patients and providers

Practical

Consider scope and complexity of implementation

Data-based

Make design decisions based on facts and data

Tonsillectomy: key facts

What is a tonsillectomy?

▪ ▪ ▪

Surgical removal of the tonsils Commonly performed on children due to repeated infections of the tonsils Typically done as a same day surgery

Goals of episode ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪

Reduce multiple pre-op visits Drive appropriate post-surgery observation period Reduce inappropriate sleep study, antibiotic and pathology usage Reduce readmissions Create a model for ENTs to share practices and design even more effective care

Tonsillectomy/adenoidectomy episode design (1/2)

▪ Episode is triggered by select types of tonsillectomy/adenoidectomy procedures, including: – All outpatient tonsillectomy, adenoidectomy, and adeno-tonsillectomy procedures (i.e. ED and inpatient tonsillectomies/adenoidectomies are excluded) – Primary or second diagnosis (Dx1 and Dx2) indicating conditions that require tonsillectomy/adenoidectomy (e.g. chronic tonsillitis, chronic adenoiditis, chronic

Episode definition/

pharyngitis, hypertrophy of tonsils and adenoids, obstructive sleep apnea, insomnia, peritonsillar abscess)

1 scope of services

▪ Episode time frame: – Related services (including sleep studies, head and neck x-rays, laryngoscopy) within 90 days prior to procedure after and including initial consult with performing provider – Related services within 30 days after procedure (i.e., inpatient and outpatient facility – services, professional services, related medications, treatment for post-procedure complications) Post-procedure admissions within 30 days after procedure 1 ▪

2 Patient/ episode exclusions

Certain patients are excluded from this episode design, patients with: – Select co-morbid conditions (e.g., Down syndrome, cancer, severe asthma, cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy, myopathies) – – – – – – – Uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (UPPP) on date of procedure Patients with BMI>50 2 Age younger than 3 or older than 21 Dual enrollment in Medicare/Medicaid (i.e., dual eligibles) Inconsistent enrollment (i.e., not continuously enrolled) during the episode Death in hospital during episode Patient status of “left against medical advice” during episode

Parameters and codes may vary across different payers; the following algorithm and associated codes sheet applies to Medicaid

1 Excludes post procedure admissions that are not related to the episode as determined by Bundled Payment for Care Improvement (BPCI). Covers entire length of readmission if it occurs within 30 days after trigger (i.e. entire 3-day stay admitted on the 29 th day post discharge would be included in episode) 2 Reported through provider portal 12

Episode adjustments

▪ ▪ Episode cost is adjusted based on: – – Risk factors (e.g. COPD, asthma) Episode types: (1) adenoidectomy (2) tonsillectomy/adeno-tonsillectomy Only providers with at least 5 episodes per year are eligible for gain sharing/risk sharing 4

Quality/ utilization metrics

▪ ▪ Quality metrics required for gain sharing payment: – Percent of episodes with administration of intra-operative steroids 1 Metrics for reporting only: – Quality: Post-operative primary bleed rate (i.e., post-procedure admissions or unplanned return to OR due to bleeding within 24 hours of – – surgery) Quality: Post-operative secondary bleed rate Utilization: Rate of antibiotic prescription post-surgery 2 5

Principal Accountable Provider

▪ For Medicaid, the Principal Accountable Provider (PAP) will be the primary provider performing the tonsillectomy/adenoidectomy. Other payers independently determine the PAP by considering the following factors: – – – Decision making responsibilities Influence over other providers Portion of episode cost 1 Reported through provider portal as an aggregate percentage across all of a PAP’s episode for a specific payor 2 American Academy of Otolaryngology – Head and Neck Surgery Tonsillectomy Guidelines for 2011 recommend against prescription of antibiotics post-procedure 13

Design rationale: Episode definition / scope of services (2/4)

Detailed in following pages

Episode design decisions

▪ Trigger identification: – – Only outpatient tonsillectomies/adenoidectomies can be potential triggers (i.e., tonsillectomies/adenoidectomies which occur in the ER or inpatient are automatically excluded as potential triggers) Episode is triggered by tonsillectomy/adenoidectomy procedure

and

appropriate primary or secondary diagnosis

Rationale

▪ ▪ ▪ Tonsillectomies/adenoidectomies which occur in the ER or inpatient often have high variability in patient conditions, outcomes, and episode costs (i.e., variability beyond the control of the PAP), and are therefore excluded A list of CPT and ICD-9 Px codes for tonsillectomy, adenoidectomy, and adeno-tonsillectomy are identified as triggers for an episode An appropriate ICD-9 diagnosis code (Dx fields 1 and 2) must also accompany a procedure code for the procedure to be considered a valid trigger for an episode ▪ Pre-procedure window: – Episode begins the day of the first PAP visit within a 90-day ▫ ▫ window prior to procedure Any ER/Inpatient cost in pre-procedure window will be excluded Any medications in pre-procedure window will be excluded ▪ ▪ Pre-procedure window is a maximum of 90 days prior to the procedure to allow for capture of the first ENT consult with patient ER/Inpatient and medication costs are not captured in pre-procedure window since the tonsillectomy/adenoidectomy procedure is often scheduled based on patient convenience, therefore giving some PAPs a greater risk for higher ER/inpatient and medication cost that is beyond PAP’s control ▪ Post-procedure window: – Related services within 30 days after procedure (i.e., inpatient and outpatient facility services, professional services, related medications, treatment for post-procedure complications) ▪ Post procedure admissions due to complications, etc. are included in episode cost calculations since reducing complications and treating them effectively and efficiently is an identified value driver – Inpatient post-procedure admission within 30 days after procedure as defined by Bundled Payment for Care Improvement (BPCI) ▪ Bundled Payment for Care Improvement (BPCI) provides a list of procedure codes which are not relevant to tonsillectomy/adenoidectomy and these procedures would not be included in episode costs (i.e., if a patient is treated for a condition that is not a complication or relevant to the tonsillectomy/adenoidectomy procedure within 30 days after the procedure, it will not be included in the episode cost calculations) 15

Design rationale: Patient exclusions (1/5)

Patient exclusion design decision

Select co-morbid conditions within 365 days prior to procedure or during episode ▪ Pregnant during episode Detailed in following pages ▪

Rationale

Patients with certain co-morbidities which may unfairly increase a PAP’s average episode cost due to their inherent medical condition(s) within a year prior to procedure or during the episode are excluded (i.e., co morbidities are factors beyond the PAP’s control/influence) ▪ Tonsillectomies/adenoidectomies performed on women who are known to be pregnant during an episode window are excluded due to their potentially complex condition ▪ Age younger than 3 or older than 21 ▪ Patients under 3 and older than 21 tend to be more complicated procedures and are therefore excluded ▪ ▪ Dual enrollment in Medicare/Medicaid (i.e., dual eligibles) Inconsistent enrollment with payer during episode ▪ In order to reduce the possibility that costs within an episode are not accurately and fully captured (i.e., costs partially covered by another program), patients who have dual enrollment are excluded ▪ Consistent enrollment ensures that all costs associated with an episode are accurately and fully captured 16

2

Design rationale: Patient exclusions (2/5)

Patient exclusion design decision

Uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (UPPP) on date of procedure ▪ Patients with BMI>50 ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪

Rationale

Patients with UPPP on date of procedure have a different clinical pathology than relevant tonsillectomy/adeno-tonsillectomy As a result, the severity of care and episode cost is extremely different and variable as compared to relevant episodes Patients with BMI over 50 are higher risk and more complicated to operate on The PAP cannot control this risk or the variability in outcomes due to this patient condition ▪ Death in hospital during episode ▪ Patients with death in hospital are clinical outliers ▪ Patient status of “left against medical advice” during episode ▪ A PAP cannot be held responsible for outcomes and resulting cost of care if patient leaves AMA 17

Design rationale: Quality metrics

A

Quality metrics design decision

Quality metrics required for gain sharing payment: – Rate of administration of inta-operative steroids ▪ ▪

Rationale

To qualify for gain sharing, providers or their staff must report quality metrics through an online provider portal since some quality metrics cannot be extracted from claims data Providers must meet minimum quality standards agreed upon by a clinical advisory board – Example: ▫ Average rate of intra-operative steroid administration

B

▪ Quality/utilization metrics for reporting only: – Post-operative primary bleed rate (i.e., post-procedure admissions or unplanned return to OR due to bleeding within 24 hours of surgery) – – Post-operative secondary bleed rate Utilization: Rate of antibiotic prescription post-surgery ▪ ▪ ▪ A bleed within 24-hours post-surgery (primary bleed) is related to surgeon technical skill and can drive post-procedure admissions as well as unplanned return to the operation room A bleed within 2-14 days post-procedure is less related to physician efficiency but should still be monitored as it can drive post-procedure admissions The Academy of Otolaryngology has recommended against post procedure antibiotic prescription in the revised tonsillectomy guidelines from 2011 21

5

Design rationale: Principal Accountable Provider (PAP)

PAP design decision

Payers independently determine the PAP by considering the following factors: – – – Decision making responsibilities Influence over other providers Portion of episode cost

PRELIMINARY WORKING DRAFT; SUBJECT TO CHANGE

Rationale

Medicaid has publicly announced that the Principal Accountable Provider (PAP) will be the primary provider performing the tonsillectomy/adenoidectomy since they are in the position to influence the most decisions and costs

Medicaid’s PAP will be the provider performing the tonsillectomy/adenoidectomy

Arkansas Health Care Payment Improvement Initiative Provider Report

Medicaid Report date: April 2013 Historical performance: January 1, 2012 – December 31, 2012 DISCLAIMER: The information contained in these reports is intended solely for use in the administration of the Medicaid program.

The data in the reports is neither intended nor suitable for other uses, including the selection of a health care provider. The figures in this report are preliminary and are subject to revision. For more information, please visit www.paymentinitiative.org 24

Division of Medical Services

P.O. Box 1437, Slot S 415 · Little Rock, AR 72203-1437 501-683 4120 · Fax: 501-683-4124 Dear Medicaid provider, This is an update on the Arkansas Health Care Payment Improvement Initiative (APII) – a payment system developed with input from hundreds of health care providers, patients and family members. Our goal is to support and reward providers who consistently deliver high-quality, coordinated, and cost effective care.

As a reminder, a core component of this multi-payer initiative is

episodes of care.

An episode is the collection of care provided to treat a particular condition over a given length of time. Since July of 2012, Arkansas Medicaid has introduced new episodes, including Upper Respiratory Infection (URI), Perinatal (colloquially, called “pregnancy”), Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), and more. To see the most up to date list of episodes visit the APII website at www.paymentinitiative.org

. For each episode, the provider that holds the main responsibility for ensuring that care is delivered at appropriate cost and quality will be designated as the Principal Accountable Provider (PAPs). For some episodes in the period covered in the attached report, you were identified as the PAP. After appropriate risk-adjustments and exclusions, your average quality and cost was compared with previously announced thresholds. This determines any potential sharing of savings or excess cost indicated in the report. Note that all information described throughout your report is based on claims already submitted and all providers should continue to submit and receive reimbursement for claims as they do today. This report contains episodes currently in the ‘

preparatory phase

’ and so the data and analyses for these reports are historical only (i.e. they are not data from the time period that you will be measured against). To see “performance” reports (i.e., containing episodes eligible for gain or risk sharing) for episodes launched earlier, log onto the provider portal at www.paymentinitiative.org

to download a separate report.

To aid you in your role as a PAP for future episodes, we have been working hard with providers and other payers to design a set of reports that give you detailed data about the quality and cost of your care as well as how this compares with previously announced thresholds and the range of performance of other providers. As each payer will send a report covering their patients, you may receive similar reports from Arkansas Blue Cross Blue Shield and / or QualChoice.

We encourage you to log onto the provider portal to access your current and previous ‘preparatory period’ and ‘performance period’ reports. As a PAP for select episodes, you should begin using this portal to enter selected quality metrics for each patient with an episode of care starting. To see which episodes have quality metrics linked to gain sharing visit the APII website. We have been working diligently to solicit feedback from the provider community and will continue in our efforts to respond to all questions, comments and concerns raised in a timely and consistent manner. For answers to frequently asked questions regarding the initiative and episodes, please refer to the payment initiative website ( www.paymentinitiative.org

) You can also call us at 1-866-322-4696 or locally at 501-301-8311 with questions or email [email protected]. Additionally, be sure to check the website regularly for updates on upcoming informational WebEx sessions, other resources, or to sign up for alerts.
