  5. Global Medicaid Transformation Waiver

  6. Healthier Washington • Integrating behavioral and physical health services • Fully integrate the financing and delivery of physical health, mental health and chemical dependency services in Medicaid through MCOs by 2020 • SW WA is an early adopter  working to fully integrate coverage by 4/1/2016 • Building Accountable Communities of Health • To find regional solutions to regional health issues • Supporting clinical practice transformation • Providing training and technical assistance to providers • Promoting people’s involvement in their health

  7. Healthier Washington • Developing value based payment strategies • Four payment models are being designed • One model involves the FQHCs, RHCs and CAH • To move away from encounter based reimbursement and introduce financial flexibility in how care is delivered • Consistency measure performance to improve quality and lower costs • Governor’s Performance Measures Coordinating Committee and their 52 core measures (clinical measures) • 5732/1519 Cross-Systems measures w/ 51 recommendations in (1) quality of life; (2) criminal justice; (3) health/wellness, utilization and disparities; and (4) employment, education, housing • Mandate that the 5732/1519 measures are integrated in contracts with RSNs, MCOs, AAAs

  8. Value-Based Purchasing Currently done in a somewhat proprietary manner Inconsistency in assignment and measurement of quality metrics Little standardization of payment mechanisms Often driven from individual purchaser viewpoint rather than one of community access sustainability

  9. Care Delivery Transformation Involves new services that are not currently covered Replaces services that are currently covered by insurance benefit plans Payment must ultimately support service delivery changes

  10. Value-based Purchasing Criteria Fair (ex. Is there adjustment for Socio-economic factors for readmissions?) Accurate (ex. Stratification of hip replacement cases) Impact on Payor Mix (Centers of Excellence approach) CMS and PEBB approaches to hip and knee replacements If done well: Opportunity for quality and value increases for broad spectrum of providers and facilities If done poorly: Providers and facilities may be forced to be selective of patients served or services offered

  11. All-Payer Claims Database Identify differences in cost of services/ (purchaser benefit) Identify reasons driving variation / (public health benefit)

  12. Accountable Communities of Health Funding mechanism for needs outside of traditional health care services and insurance benefits Mechanism for identifying regional needs and priorities May be used to identify quality measures for arrangements between purchasers and providers
