Actuarial Study Objectives • Determine key cost drivers • Identify financing options that promote the goals of ALTCI • Recommend a rate structure that will best match payment to the risk of the enrolled population
Methodology • Review historical Medi-Cal and Medicare CY1998-2000 FFS data • Adjust data to include only populations and services expected to be covered under ALTCI • Project data forward to CY2007 by category of service • Adjust data for significant program changes including Medicare Part D
CY2000 DataSan Diego County • Nursing Home Residents, MSSP, DD, IHSS, and Home Care (HC) account for 30 percent of the total ALTCI membership in San Diego, but 74 percent of the total San Diego Medi-Cal expenditures.

Preliminary ResultsKey Cost Drivers • Setting – Nursing Home vs. Community • Frailty – Nursing Home Certifiable/At Risk vs. Well • Medicare Status – Dually Eligible vs. Medi-Cal Only • Category of Assistance – Aged vs. Disabled • Chronic High Risk Conditions – TBD
Preliminary Recommendations • Reimbursement needs to be sufficiently sophisticated to promote program goals • Incentives should be included to promote increased community based services • Savings achievable through more appropriate use of hospital, emergency room and nursing home services • Administrative costs should be reflected in rates with sufficient consideration of start up costs • Increased care management should be supported and funded
Preliminary Recommendations (continued) • Implement early reinsurance or risk sharing • Capitated model should allow for flexibility of both Medi-Cal and Medicare funding sources
Next Steps • Complete projections • Assess adequacy of Medicare reimbursement • Finalize recommended rating structure • Submit final report and recommendations
