Our charge: Identify, Test, Evaluate, Scale
“The purpose of the Center is to test innovative
payment and service delivery models to reduce
program expenditures under Medicare, Medicaid, and
CHIP…while preserving or enhancing the quality of
care furnished.”

Resources: $10 billion funding for FY2011 through 2019

Opportunity to “scale up”: The HHS Secretary has the authority
to expand successful models to the national level

More flexibility: Budget neutrality requirements more flexible

MAPCP Demonstration Overview


Medicare joining Medicaid and private insurers in state
health reform initiatives aimed at improving delivery of
primary care
A multi-payer effort
◦ Private payers covering a majority of commercial market
◦ Medicaid (managed care and/or FFS)
◦ Medicare

State designed program:
◦
◦
◦
◦
Definition of medical home
Payment methodology and rates (subject to CMS ceiling)
Selection of practices
Beneficiary assignment methodology

MAPCP Demonstration Overview

Three year demonstration
◦ 8 states: ME,VT, RI, NY, PA, NC, MI & MN
◦ Start dates from July 2011-January 2012; each project will run
36 months

Most projects involve monthly payment to the practice
for beneficiaries “assigned” using a state-specific
algorithm
◦ Total monthly payments generally <= $10 pbpm
◦ Some projects involve community health teams (which may or
may not receive separate payments up to $10 max
◦ Some projects include payment (within $10 max) to state for
administrative/evaluation services

Beneficiary Assignment

Beneficiary assignment algorithm run quarterly
using a common 5-step assignment algorithm:
 12-24 month (2 stages) look back
 Primary care office and home visits (inc. FQHC visits)

Beneficiary assigned to the practice where he/she
had the greatest # visits during the look-back
period
Accurate and timely information on providers in the
practice (Tax ID #, NPI, P-TAN) critical to accurate and
complete assignment and timely payment
MAPCP Demonstration - March 2012
10
Beneficiary Assignment


Newer patients may take several quarters to show up
on your lists.
CMS will provide quarterly beneficiary assignment lists
with beneficiary names and key identifying information.
 List will show who is new/dropped off each quarter
 DUA must be signed to receive this information
 Starting spring 2012 beneficiary assignment lists will be
available through a web portal

Remember:
◦ Beneficiary retains full FFS rights to go to any provider.
Beneficiary is NOT locked in.
◦ No enrollment is requires but CMS would like beneficiary
notification (newsletter, notice in waiting room, etc.)

Claims Payment Process
Practices do not have to submit claims for demonstration
payments but payments will be processed like a claim
 On a monthly basis, CMS’ contractor (Actuarial Research
Corporation) will create a claim record for each beneficiary on
your list and submit it to the “MAC” or carrier for payment.

◦ “Date of service” will be 1st of the month
◦ Payment will likely be received mid-month
◦ Practice payment ($2.00) is processed under one rendering NPI to
facilitate payment

Individual monthly claims will be processed for each
beneficiary in the same manner as any other electronic claim.
◦ Due to claims volume, claims may be spread out over course of the
month.
Remittance advice will be sent to the practice
 Medicare Summary Notice (MSN) will NOT show
demonstration claims

MAPCP Demonstration - March 2012

Claims Payment Process

Monthly claim will reject if beneficiary is no longer
eligible for demonstration:






Deceased

Joined an MA plan
Medicare no longer primary
Practices can NOT balance bill the patient if the service
is rejected
Payment may be recouped if retroactive information
indicates payment should not have been made
MAPCP Demonstration - March 2012

Reports and Feedback

Quarterly Feedback Reports
◦ Practice specific summary reports
◦ Benchmark comparisons
◦ Actionable information specific to practice’s patients
(e.g. ER visits, hospital admissions)

MAPCP Evaluation

Each state required to conduct an evaluation of its
program

CMS has contracted for an independent evaluation
of all 8 programs
MAPCP Evaluation Contractor: RTI International
(subcontracts with The Urban Institute & the National
Academy for State Health Policy (NASHP)
 Project Director: Nancy McCall, ScD
 MI State Team Lead: Josh Wiener, PhD

Assess the effects of the PCMH model when
supported by Medicare, Medicaid, and private
health plans
Mix of qualitative and quantitative analyses
Populations of interest
◦ Medicare FFS beneficiaries (not Medicare Advantage)
◦ Medicaid beneficiaries (duals and non-duals)


Data sources
◦ CMS: Medicare claims
◦ State: Medicaid claims, practice/PHO surveys,
patient surveys, PCMH scores
◦ Primary data collection
 Site visits, interviews, focus groups, observation of TA
activities
 Minimize burden on participants
