Prospective Payment System:

1. Prospective Payment System: Mr. Atkinson Program Review and Evaluation Health Budgets and Financial Policy

2. Overview • Background PPS • Future • Next Steps/Issues for consideration

3. Why Prospective Payment System? • Justify Budget • Base Budgets on Outputs, not Inputs • Provide incentives for good health care practices • Rational Distribution of Funds • Fund Business Plans • Place Accountability for Care at MTF • Quantify deviations from plan

4. How is PPS related to Business Plans? • Currently Outputs from Business Plans used for initial allocation • Inpatient • Relative Weighted Products (RWPs) • Mental Health Bed Days • Outpatient • Relative Value Units (RVUs)

5. Prospective Payment Budgeting Valuing Business Plans • Value of MTF business plans • Fee for Service rate for workload produced • Rates based on price at which care can be purchased • CMAC rates • Not MTF costs • Computed at MTF level but allocated to services • Rolled up to Services

6. PPS – Where are we • PPS applied in FY05 to initial allocation • Based on Business Plans • 25% Blend with traditional Budget • PPS applied at mid-year review • Based on most recent 12 months of actuals • 25% Blend with traditional Budget • PPS FY06 allocation implications determined • Based on recent Business Plans • 50% blend with traditional budget

10. Future of PPS

11. Why Expand PPS? • Currently PPS only covers portion of MHS budget • No value for Ancillary/Pharmacy • Non-Industry Standard capture of workload in the MHS • No value for Dental Care • No value for Indirect Readiness Costs • No value for Non-Benefit (“Readiness”) related functions • Payment method rewards churn and earn behavior • No distinction for outcomes/health management

12. Ancillary/Pharmacy • Ancillary • Where are we now • Ancillary data in MDR • Ancillary tables in M2 • How approach • Review data • Apply weight • Determine payment method • Pharmacy • PDTS data available • Ingredient Cost most likely will be used • Fill Rate still needs to be determined

13. Non-Industry Standard Workload Capture • Inpatient/Outpatient vs. Institutional/Professional • Industry Based Workload Alignment (IBWA) • Rounds capture 2yrs old (appx 40% complete) • Full Inpatient professional workload capture began this year • Facility component of ambulatory capture dependent on Enhanced SADR • Full RVU • Work RVU • Practice RVU • Malpractice RVU

14. Dental/Other Benefit • Dental • Starting to collect data in central systems • Need to review data for consistency across Services • Weights likely from CMS/ADA • Payments still need to be determined • Other Benefits • HCPCs • Data? • Payment?

15. Non-Benefit Functions • Education and Training • Workload/Performance measures unknown • Data collection does not exist • Cost vs. Payment must be determined • Indirect Readiness • Similar to Indirect Medical Education • Multiple method reviews to date with no success • Other reviews continuing on AD provider/population/patient • Direct Readiness • Focus on DHP funding only • Some related to enhanced medical care – Military unique RVU • Other related to currently undefined/collected functions

16. Prospective Payment Structure Based on Fee for Service • Benefits • Pay for services provided not resources consumed • Resources tied to workload • Concerns • Rewards additional workload • No incentive for utilization/disease management • No incentive for prevention • FFS does not necessarily capture entire value of non-provider work

17. Prospective Payment Structure Based on Enrolled Population • Utilization Incentive/Penalty • Financial Bonus linked to trend in utilization • MTFs keep some of savings generated by decreased utilization • Similar to Managed Care Support Contract • MTF partially at risk for utilization trend • Adjusted for demographics • Capitation • Value per enrollee • MTF at risk for entire health care costs • Adjusted for demographics/health risk • Concerns • Catastrophic Cases • Small Enrolled Population • Both provide incentive for utilization management where Return on Investment (ROI) is near-term

18. Prospective Payment Structure Based on Outcomes • Paying for Quality • Financial incentives for outcomes, not just outputs • Possible quality measures • ORYX – (JCAHO) • AHRQ – (HHS) • Inpatient Quality Indicators • Prevention Quality Indicators • HEDIS – (NCQA) • Potential for long-term investments in prevention/disease management

21. Next StepsProspective Payment • Monitor FY06 performance against plan • Apply to future budgets • FY07 - 75% • FY08 - 100% • Incorporate Ancillary, Pharmacy data • Ancillary data now being collected • Analyze during FY06, apply in FY07 (scorecard only) • Concern about standardization and unbundling

22. Issues to Consider • Non Provider specialty codes • Last year workload accepted is FY06 • Future years no workload credit • Incorporate Inpatient Professional Services • Professional services should be coding this year • Initial focus External partnerships and circuit riders • Need to expand to all inpatient care • Begin with adjusting RWP rate down for rounds • Approximately 40% complete (60% lost value) • Began 1 Oct 2002 • Accurate coding • Need to ensure coding matches documentation • Eventually audit adjustments to claims • Timely data submission

23. Questions/Discussion

24. Backup

25. Valuing Business PlansFee for Service Rates (FY06) • Value per RWP - $6,491 • Average amount allowed • Including institutional and professional fees • Excluding MH/SA • Adjusted for local Wage index • Value per Mental Health Bed day - $541 • Average amount allowed • Including institutional and professional fees • Adjusted for local Wage index • Value per RVU - $79 • Average amount allowed • Segmented by Specialty • Excluding Ancillary, Home Health, Facility Charges • Adjusted for local Wage index

26. Valuation Issues • Capitation versus Fee for Service • Fee for Service initially; moving to Capitation • Indirect Medical Education Adjustment • Use same methodology used for 3rd party collect • OCONUS MTFs • Not part of PPS, but being score carded in FY06 • Remote MTFs • Part of PPS • Keesler not funded under PPS for FY06 • Related to impact of hurricane, modified cost basis
