What is an ACO? • Providers working together under a payor contract to improve the quality of care and reduce avoidable costs for a defined population • Medicare calls these organizations “accountable care organizations” (ACOs). • Frederick Integrated Healthcare Network is an ACO (organization under contract with MC) • There are approximately 424 ACOs under contract with Medicare nationwide • 15 in Maryland: AAMC, GBMC, Meritus, Carroll, Shah, Universal American (3), Adventist, Hopkins, Lifebridge
How are Medicare beneficiaries “attributed” to an ACO? • Medicare reviews 1 year of claim data to see which beneficiaries received plurality of primary care services (E&M services) from ACO providers: • Primary Attribution – PCP visits (FP, IM, GP, Geriatrics) • Secondary, if no PCP – Specialist providing E&M visits • If the tax ID/physician practice is part of an ACO, the ACO is attributed that practice’s beneficiaries • 5,000 attributed beneficiary threshold requirement • FIHN achieved 10,061 attributed Medicare beneficiaries • The attributed provider may be accountable to report quality measures • Providers in the ACO report PQRS through the ACO quality measures • If the practice leaves the ACO, the beneficiaries leave as well over time
How is success measured? • Quality measures/metrics – quality can not be sacrificed for cost savings • Care of chronic conditions • US Preventive Health Services Task Force Measures • Customer service • Quality measures reported through EHR integration, CG-CAHPS surveys and Claim data • Cost efficiency measures/metrics • Comparison of historical overall costs/patient
MSSP ACO Quality measuresUpdated Customer service Care coordination
MSSP Quality measuresUpdated (continued) Prevention Chronic Disease Management
MSSP Quality measuresUpdated (continued) • 8 customer service measures reported via CG-CAHPS surveys • 7 measures reported via claim data from ACO providers • 18 measures reported via practice EHR data collected by ACO and reported via PQRS Group Practice Reporting Option (GPRO) • If the ACO does not successfully report, the practices within the ACO do not successfully achieve PQRS reporting
Quality Measure Reporting • ACOs integrate Electronic Medical Record data from practices to report on quality measures • EMR surveys by ACO IT staff are necessary to facilitate extraction from EMR fields • Medicare shares claim data on attributed lives • Data mined by ACO to see gaps in quality and report opportunities to ACO providers for action
Medicare wants physicians to join ACOS and participate in CMS Innovation Center Pilots like MSSPMedicare incentives…
CMS Value Based Purchasing Value Based Modifier Program – 2016, adds efficiency measures to PQRS • Cost - per capita spend for patients with 4 chronic conditions: COPD, HF, CAD and Diabetes • Quality 6 domains – harm, patient experience, coordination of care, prevention, best practice, affordability of care • 2012 pilot reports given to physicians in select states • 2015 – modifier for groups 100+ physicians (-1%) • 2016 – modifier groups 10+ physicians(-2%) • 2017 all physicians (-2%) PQRS negative adjustments not applicable for providers in an ACO 2015-2017 so as not to disturb physician investment in initiatives that work toward similar triple aim goals, ACO reports PQRS measures
CMS Value Based Purchasing continued • 2018 Merit Incentive Payment System (MIPS) currently “proposed” next step for CMS Value Based Payment - likely to pass. Replaces “pay to report” with “pay to perform” on quality measures. • Permanently eliminates physician fee schedule sustainable growth rate reductions (26.5% threatened) and Provides a (.5%) physician fee increase 2015 through 2018 • Combines PQRS, Value Based Purchasing and Meaningful Use • Creates national objective for interoperability of EHRs by 2017 • ACO providers receive 1% fee schedule increase instead of .5% for all other physicians 5% bonus for alternative payment methodology participation • MIPS supported by AMA, AAFP and American College of Physicians and likely to pass
Medicare Regulations • Poster in PCP offices explaining ACO participation • Beneficiary Notification - right to opt-out of CMS sharing historical claim data • Notification via 2 methods • Face to Face physician office visit, record in EMR • Beneficiary mailing by ACO, ACO tracks • Beneficiary can use Form to opt out or call Medicare directly to declare opt-out choice • Medicare will send ACO claim data on any attributed beneficiary who does not opt out of data sharing • ACOs benefit from data to develop actionable plans to meet goals
What is different for patients, why agree to data sharing? Patient experience is improved through ACO investments • Support outside of physician office visits – • Care Managers, social workers, navigators • Pharmacists – medication reconciliation, fewer adverse drug interactions • Home monitoring, catch problems before they happen • Shared medical record data – improved communication between providers, reveals gaps in care, reduces duplication and out of pocket cost Proactive outreach reduces acute episodes and out of pocket cost for patients, better care over time
Population Health Management Priorities • Engage contracted lives – Beneficiaries, FMH Employees, encourage data sharing • Select Analytics Platform • Establish ACO communications plan - physicians & patients • Identify high risk/utilizers and strategy • Capture Quality Measures – CMS 33 and Employee HP • PCMH strategy - improve access and patient support • Implement Care Management Plan • Identify Leakage opportunities to grow market share • Assess Post acute provider quality/cost, use best in class • Develop shared savings distribution methodology Strategy underway
ACO Reduction of Avoidable Utilization/Cost Where to start? • MSSP Goal: 3.5% cost reduction, $3.8M estimated • Equivalents: $400 per beneficiary, 379 admissions • Data from CMS • FMH Employee Health Plan: Up to 13% savings will be shared, $840,000 • Equivalents: $455 per member, 84 admissions • Data from TPA/UMR reports underway • MSSP/ACOs experience data delays due to – • Beneficiary mailing opt out notice timing • CMS delays in sending claim data • Challenges of incorporating CMS data into analytic tool
Data Solutions –Behind the scenes work in progress • MD Hospitals have access to new HSCRC/CRISP data: Potentially Avoidable Utilization: • Readmissions: Inpt, Observation & ER revisits • Admissions for “preventable” acute exacerbation of chronic conditions that should be managed outpatient • Plan: Review Medicare high level data – Top 25 • Distribute patient level data by PCP accompanied by resource list to begin matching high utilizer patients to solutions • PCP Revenue Opportunities – Transitions and Complex Care Management (2015 CMS physician fee schedule) • Medicare Wellness visit - capture 33 measures and identify rising risk patients
Physician Report Overview • Data Source: • HSCRC Potentially Avoidable Utilization Report • Case level, Inpatient data only • Data Period: • Calendar Year 2014 YTD data through September • Included Cases • Medicare FFS patients only • Comparison groups: • Primary Care Physician (MC FFS) • FIHN MSSP Providers (MC FFS) • All FRHS MC FFS
Admission Statistics • IP Admissions = Count of Inpatient cases for physician • Average LOS (Length of Stay) = Sum of total Inpatient days / IP Admissions • Average SOI (Severity of Illness) = Sum of total SOI (severity level assigned to each Inpatient case) / IP Admissions • SOI ranges from 1 (least severe) to 4 (most severe) • Unique Patients = Count of distinct patients • High Utilizer Patients = Count of distinct “High Utilizer” patients, with: • >= 2 Inpatient stays, and • >= $50,000 total charges
Readmissions and Revisits • Readmissions • Inpatient Readmissions = Inpatient cases that occur within 30 days of an initial Inpatient stay • Cases Eligible for readmission = All Inpatient cases, excluding: • Deaths • Transfers to another acute hospital • Readmission Rate (%) = Inpatient Readmissions / Cases Eligible for Readmission • Expected Readmissions • Target line on Readmission Rate graph • Expected calculation = Physician cases by DRG severity of illness x State average readmissions by DRG severity of illness • Revisits • Emergency Department or Observation visits that occur within 30 days of an initial Inpatient stay. The Initial visit must be Inpatient.
Potentially Avoidable Utilization (PAU) • PAU is volume that can be potentially avoided though improved ambulatory care PAU includes: • Prevention Quality Indicators (PQIs) as defined by AHRQ – 13 diagnosis • Inpatient (IP) 30-day readmissions (intra and inter-hospital) • Outpatient (OP) 30-day revisits to ER/Observation (after an IP stay)
Hospital Potentially Avoidable Utilization Preventable Admissions – Prevention Quality Indicators - diagnosis for which strong primary care would reduce rates of hospitalization. National Quality Foundation endorsed measures used by state agencies. Lower extremity amputation in patients with diabetes Uncontrolled Diabetes, Long Term Diabetes, Short Term Diabetes Adult Asthma Angina Urinary Tract Infection Bacterial Pneumonia Dehydration COPD Hypertension CHF Perforated Appendix Red are high volume among FMH Medicare patients
Further data forthcoming • Emergency Room High Utilizers • Imaging Utilization – FMH off site location use appropriateness compared to best practice • Data on FMH Employee Health Plan Utilization • ACO claim data from Medicare – April timeframe
