10. Price Transparency • Public/private exchanges will exacerbate trend toward high-deductible plans (i.e., high out-of-pocket expense when patients seek care) • Hospital bad debts likely to increase • Already, between 2007 and 2012: • Hospital insured but uncompensated inpatient discharges increased by 44% • Hospital insured but uncompensated outpatient visits increased by 94% • Patients likely to become more cost-conscious for elective/ambulatory services • How do not-for-profit hospitals compete? • IP, OP, Lab, Diagnostic Radiology SW Ohio HFMA
10. Price Transparency • OHA Price Transparency Work Plan in 2014: • Conduct national environmental scan • Clearly define for membership set of price-sensitive “shoppable” services • Monitor state and federal-level political pressure points • Determine OHA’s current technological/data collection capabilities to mirror model state association activities • Objective: The OHA Board endorses an association strategy in August to address concerns surrounding the transparency of hospital pricing.

Discussion outline SW Ohio HFMA
5. SIM – Episodes: OHA Board-Approved Principles • OHA supports payment reforms to increase value • Episodic payments must focus on variability in utilization and quality; exclude other factors • Providers already beyond episodes should be exempt • Calculations of cost for episodes must be normalized to address established variation in payment rates • Access to care should not be reduced • Accountable providers should be put at no or minimal risk for activities outside of their control • Providers must be able to maintain their ability to negotiate reimbursement SW Ohio HFMA
5. SIM – Episodes: Latest News • March 10 meeting with state officials: • Providers who already have value-based contracts beyond episodic payments will be able to be excluded from payment side of program • Data reporting requirements still likely • OHT working with commercial plans to help their implementation • Member feedback • Technical questions persist with regard to Medicaid implementation • At least 18 months before any penalties/incentives • May 15 meeting with Director McCarthy • Cost normalization decision point SW Ohio HFMA

OHA – Top 10 Issues Impacting Ohio Hospital Economic Sustainability in 2014 2. HCAP Reform 3. Budget Cuts/Next Budget/Governor’s Race 4. Presumptive Eligibility 5. SIM - Episodes SW Ohio HFMA
2. HCAP Reform: Why Reform HCAP in 2014? • HCAP distribution uses most recent Medicaid cost report data as proxy for hospitals’ current uncompensated care + Medicaid loss burden • 2012 CY used to distribute 2014 payments (pre- vs. post-expansion) • Current model distributes over 60% based on uninsured population most likely to become Medicaid-eligible • Federal DSH Auditors retrospectively review payments vs. actual OBRA Cap/DSH Limit for Federal Fiscal Year payments • Beginning with 2011 HCAP, auditors can force recoupments/redistributions of prior payments SW Ohio HFMA
2. HCAP Reform: OHA Board Directives for 2014 • Increase fairness & equity through reforms that narrow the gap between peer group net misery indexes; • Minimize risk of provider overpayments identified in federal DSH audits; • Allow flexibility and reevaluation on annual basis; • Be in accordance with other OHA HCAP principles. SW Ohio HFMA
2. HCAP Reform: OHA Finance Committee Action (March 13, 2014): To recommend the OHA Board of Trustees endorse a FFY 2014 Hospital Care Assurance Program (HCAP) based on Hybrid Distribution Model 5, with a presumed 50% Medicaid enrollment take-up. SW Ohio HFMA
2. HCAP Reform: “Hybrid” HCAP Model 5 - Overview • Include “residual” Pot 3A as a transition tool • $100M vs $353M in 2013 • Narrow ranges of misery both within and between peer groups by: • Allocating resources to CAH/Rural/High DSH/Children’s • Ensure appropriateness of CAH pool distribution • In 2013, CAHs received over 10% of rural pool • Maintain “OBRA” pot as largest funding source • Try to increase payments to CAH/Rural/Adult DSH/Children’s without taking too much from Teaching or Others SW Ohio HFMA
