11. Reimbursement Model 1)Recommendations for capitation reimbursement model for ALTCI (i.e., payment structure from the State)- Build off other analyses – Use joint Medi-Cal and Medicare data set- Identify the major cost drivers (i.e., demographics, dual eligibility, service setting, disease states, and etc.)- Consider reimbursement mechanisms utilized elsewhere – Often used in combination- End goal is to design a model that matches reimbursement to risk (with the right incentives)

12. Reimbursement ModelContinued 2)Analyze Medicare Reimbursement- State want to require all contractors/health plans to also participate in Medicare Advantage - Apply current Medicare payment adjusters based on historical claims data- Compare results to actual claims cost and trend both (reimbursement and costs) forward to 2006- Goal is to assess the overall sufficiency of Medicare reimbursement for the dual eligible members

13. Information Technology 1)Survey consumers, providers, and other stakeholders-Assess current community Information Technology capacity and utilization- Identify desired potential uses and functionality- Surveys are available electronically or hard-copy 2)Recommend design of Web-based IT system to support ALTCI- Prioritize development of the system, as it will likely be developed over several phases
