4 Administrative Information Today s program will be conducted in a listen-only mode. To ask an online question at any time throughout the program, simply click on the question mark icon located on the tool bar in the bottom right side of your screen. We will try to answer your question during the session if time permits. Everything we say today is opinion.

Anything we say cannot be quoted without our prior express written permission. 4
5 Fundamental Structure ACO must be an entity recognized under state law ACO must be able to receive and distribute shared savings to participating providers of services and supplies ACO must be accountable for losses in two-sided model ACO need not be a Medicare provider, thus shared savings payments are not treated as payments by Medicare for services 5
6 ACO Option 1 One-Sided Model Designed for ACOs who are not immediately ready to accept risk Provides an entry point for organizations with less experience managing care and accepting financial risk, such as physician-driven organizations or smaller ACOs, to gain experience with population management in the FFS setting before transitioning to more risk Under Option 1, shared savings would be reconciled annually for the first 2 years of the 3-year agreement using a one-sided shared savings approach, with ACOs not being responsible for any portion of the losses above the expenditure target ACOs that enter the Shared Savings Program under Option 1 would be automatically transitioned to the two-sided model in the third year of their agreement and be required to share any losses that may be generated as well as savings 6
7 ACO Option 2 Two-Sided Model ACOs accept downside risk for losses once minimum loss rate is exceeded Once exceeded, risk shared from first dollar Minimum loss rate is flat 2% of ACO s benchmark Losses subject to maximum shared loss cap Shared loss cap increases each year: 5% in yr 1; 7.5% in yr 2; 10% in yr 3 7
8 Shared Savings Program Comparison Design Element One-Sided Model (performance years 1 & Two-Sided Model 2) Minimum Loss Rate None Flat 2 percent regardless of size Maximum Sharing Cap Shared Savings Payment capped at 7.5 percent of ACO's benchmark Savings shared once MSR is exceeded; unless exempted, share in savings net of a 2 percent threshold; up to 52.5 percent of net savings up to cap. Payments capped at 10 percent of ACO's benchmark Savings shared once MSR is exceeded; up to 65 percent of gross savings up to cap. Shared Losses None First dollar shared losses once the minimum loss rate is exceeded. Cap on the amount of losses to be shared phased in over three years starting at 5 percent in year 1; 7.5 percent in year 2; and 10 percent in year 3. Losses in excess of the annual cap would not be shared. Actual amount of shared losses would be based on final sharing rate that reflects ACO quality performance and any additional incentives for including FQHCs and/or RHCs using the following methodology (1 minus final sharing rate). 8
9 CMS Recovery of Losses 25% withholding will be applied to an ACO s earned performance payment To address losses which might exceed 25% or for losses incurred in the 1 st year, ACOs must establish mechanisms for repaying losses to Medicare. Possible methods include: Reinsurance Placing funds in escrow Obtaining surety bonds Establishing a line of credit that Medicare program can draw upon Contractual arrangements with ACO participants permitting CMS to reduce future Medicare payments by a specified amount Must demonstrate repayment adequacy prior to entrance in program and annually thereafter Amounts must be sufficient to ensure repayment of losses equal to at least 1% of per capita expenditures for its assigned beneficiaries from most recent year 9
10 State Law Requirements Medicare program retains the insurance risk and responsibility for payment of claims for services rendered to Medicare beneficiaries CMS acknowledges that some states may regulate risk-bearing entities such as ACOs participating in the Shared Savings Program CMS seeking comments on whether its proposals would trigger application of state insurance laws 10
11 State Regulatory Concerns with ACOs Are there financial incentives to impose limits on treatment? Do patients have access to timely, quality health services? If an ACO s contract with CMS terminates, what happens to patients in care? Who bears the risk of loss? 11
12 Level of State Oversight Depends on ACO Payment Methodologies Bundled payments may or may not be subject to current regulations depending on any risk assumed through prepayment of services Partial capitation may require licensure and compliance with solvency requirements Global capitation will require licensure and compliance with solvency and consumer protection requirements Fee-for-service with bonus incentives will generally not be subject to regulatory requirements 12
13 Texas Regulation of Risk Arrangements Under Texas law, an entity which arranges for or provides a health care plan to enrollees on a prepaid basis is an HMO and must have a certificate of authority (COA) A person is not required to obtain a COA if the person is: a physician engaged in the delivery of medical care a provider engaged in the delivery of health care services, other than medical care, as part of an HMO delivery network, in which an HMO arranges for health care services directly or indirectly through contracts and subcontracts with providers and physicians a 5.01(a) that contracts to arrange for or provide health care services on a fee-for-service basis But, a physician or provider that enters into a contractual arrangement with other providers to provide basic or limited health care services or a single health care service is required to obtain a COA 13
14 Risk Arrangements under an HMO Delivery Network Physicians (including P.A.s, 5.01(a)s, and other entities wholly owned by physicians) may take capitated risk for providing medical care (physician services only), directly or through subcontracts with other physicians Providers (including hospitals and persons wholly owned or controlled by one or more hospitals and physicians) may provide health care services reimbursed on a fee-for-service, risk sharing arrangement, or capitation basis under the following circumstances: the provider is engaged in the delivery of health care services, other than medical care, as part of an HMO delivery network; the provider has contracted to provide or arranged to provide through subcontracts with similarly licensed providers any health care service that the providers are licensed to provide, other than medical care; or the provider has contracted to provide or arranged to provide through subcontracts with other providers, a health care service, other than medical care, that the provider is not licensed to provide, if the contracted or subcontracted services constitute less than 15% of the total amount of services to be provided or arranged for by that provider [TIC ] 14
15 The Fate of SB 8--Texas Health Care Collaboratives SB 8 would have created a new ch. 848 of the Texas Insurance Code to provide for a licensure process for health care collaboratives A health care collaborative defined as an entity that: undertakes to arrange for medical and health care services for insurers, health maintenance organizations, and other payors in exchange for payments in cash or in kind; accepts and distributes payments for medical and health care services; consists of: Physicians; Physicians and other health care providers; Physicians and insurers or health maintenance organizations; or physicians, other health care providers, and insurers or health maintenance organizations; and that is certified by the commissioner to lawfully accept and distribute payments to physicians and other health care providers using the authorized reimbursement methodologies 15
16 Texas SB 8 (cont d) Licensure would have been required for an entity, other than an HMO, that by itself or through a subcontract with another entity, undertakes to arrange for or provide medical care or health care services to enrollees in exchange for predetermined payments on a prospective basis; and accepts responsibility for performing HMOlike functions Once licensed, a health care collaborative would be permitted to contract for, accept, and distribute payments from governmental or private payors based on fee-forservice or alternative payment mechanisms, including: episode-based or condition-based bundled payments; capitation or global payments; or pay-for-performance or quality-based payments 16
17 Health plans California Regulation of Risk Arrangements Enroll members of the public and are responsible for the payment of provider claims At risk for the costs of care Subject to licensure and regulation, including solvency and tangible net equity rules Limited License Holder An entity that takes risk for a spectrum of providers but does not enroll members of the public, rather it subcontracts to licensed health plans may be physician led or hospital led Subject to truncated licensure procedures and solvency regulation 17
18 California Regulation of Risk Arrangements Risk Bearing Organizations Organizations that take risk (e.g., through capitated payments) for physician services, including outpatient care, but not at risk for institutional care Subject to solvency rules and reporting obligations, but not licensure 18
19 Limited License Requirements Must provide materials required for a licensed health plan organizational information, financials, contractual arrangements, quality of care and review systems except marketing materials Must have a restricted deposit of $300,000 and a minimum tangible net equity of $1,000,000 Subject to quarterly and annual filing obligations and annual audits by DMHC Process for approval can take six months 19
20 Risk Bearing Organizations Must maintain positive working capital and tangible net equity as well as a ratio of cash to claims exceeding 75% Subject to quarterly and annual financial filings and annual audits by DMHC Must be a subcontractor to health plans or limited license holders 20
