2 Today s Objectives Overview of Medicare Readmission Reduction and Hospital Acquired Condition Programs Review Methodologies Review Michigan s RRP and HAC Reports

3 Medicare Quality Based Payment Reform (QBPR) Programs Mandated by the ACA of 2010 VBP Program (redistributive w/ winners and losers) Readmissions Reduction Program (remain whole or lose) HAC Reduction Program (remain whole or lose) National pay-for-performance programs Most acute care hospitals must participate; CAHs excluded Program rules, measures, and methodologies adopted well in advance ( )

4 General Medicare Quality Program Themes Payment adjustments based on facility-specific performance compared to national standards Performance metrics are determined using historical data Dynamic programs change every year Increasing financial exposure:

5 Medicare Readmission Reduction Program (RRP) Excess Readmission Ratios by Condition Excess Readmission Revenue by Condition Total Excess Readmission Revenue (all conditions) RRP Adjustment Factor Program Impact Program became effective FFY 2013 (October 1, 2012) Penalizes hospitals for exceeding expected readmission rates Expected rates based on national performance levels Program expands over time with addition of new conditions Penalty capped at 3% for 2015 and thereafter 1% in FFY 2013; 2% in FFY 2014; 3% in FFY Measures are established in advance, usually in the IPPS rule

6 RRP Methodology Excess readmission ratios are calculated for multiple condition areas Changes in 2017+: Refined PN measure will add 2 types of claims: aspiration PN, and those with a principal diagnosis of sepsis (not severe sepsis) and a secondary diagnosis of Pneumonia (POA) CABG Improvement is not recognized Certain planned readmissions are not counted No offsets between categories

7 RRP Methodology Step 1: Calculate excess readmission ratios for each condition (subject to minimum case counts requirements) Predicted AMI Readmission Rate Expected AMI Readmission Rate % % = AMI Excess Ratio = AMI Excess Ratio = AMI Excess Ratio Ratio less than 1 -Lower than expected readmission rate -Better quality Ratio greater than 1 -Higher than expected readmission rate -Lower quality -Penalty applies

8 RRP Methodology Step 2: Calculate total excess payments for each condition Total Payment for AMI Procedures (1 AMI Excess Ratio) = AMI Excess Dollars $60,000 ( ) = AMI Excess Dollars $2, 592 = AMI Excess Dollars Step 3: Calculate total excess payments for all conditions AMI Excess Payments + HF Excess Payments + PN Excess Payments + COPD Excess Payments + THA TKA Excess Payments + CABG Excess Payments = Total Excess Dollars $2, $0 + $0 + $0 + $0 + $0 + $0 = Total Excess Dollars $2, 592 = Total Excess Dollars Excess Ratios are multiplied by revenue in each condition area to find excess readmission revenue by condition Sum of all conditions excess revenue = total excess readmission dollars Revenue = exposure More conditions = More exposure

9 RRP Methodology Step 4: Calculate Readmissions Adjustment factor (capped at.97 for FFY 2015+) 1 Total Excess Revenue Total Medicare IPPS Operating Revenue = Readmissions Adjustment Factor 1 $2, 592 $350, 000 = Readmissions Adjustment Factor = Readmissions Adjustment Factor (applied on a per-claim basis) Total excess readmission revenue is used to calculate adjustment factors

10 RRP Trends Continually evolving As measures are added, exposure to penalties increases As measures are added, hospitals are more likely to receive penalties

11 RRP Penalty Calculation Worksheet Estimated Program Penalties This table shows the actual program penalty adjustments applied in FFYs (if applicable). The penalties/adjustment factors estimated below do not tie to the actual program due to the use of slightly different claims data and resulting revenue. Actual adjustment factors for the FFY 2018 Program are expected to be made public by CMS in the summer of Actual Capped Adjustment Factor Actual Penalty % Applied to Inpatient -0.48% Payments Estimated Inpatient Operating Payments $78,583,300 Subject to Adjustment * Estimated Impact on Inpatient Payments Maximum Readmission Penalty (3.0%) Condition Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI) Heart Failure (HF) Pneumonia (PN) Total Hip/Total Knee Arthroplasty (THA/TKA) Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG) FFY 2016 Program ACTUAL Performance (Based on data from July June 2014) Eligible Discharges ($377,200) Estimated Impact $0 ($122,900) ($254,300) $0 $0 Does Not Apply % of Impact Eligible Discharges % $79,282,000 ($602,500) % of Impact FFY 2018 Program ESTIMATED Performance (Based on data from July June 2015) FFY 2018 TBD FFY 2018 TBD $80,903,100 % of Impact 0.00% 313 ($42,700) 7.09% 32.57% 568 ($233,500) 38.75% 67.43% 811 ($282,700) 46.92% 0.00% 898 $0 0.00% 0.00% 339 $0 0.00% 145 FFY 2017 Program ACTUAL Performance (Based on data from July June 2015) Estimated Impact ($43,600) (Actual program will use July June 2016 data) ($2,357,500) (2,378,500) (2,427,100) This section is intended to show the conditions that drive the payment penalties by Program year (if applicable) along with the maximum penalty (3.0%). The graph below provides estimates of the impact each condition has on this hospital compared to the maximum possible penalty (shown as a dashed line). The penalties are determined based on Excess Readmissions dollars for each condition. AMI HF PN THA/TKA COPD CABG $0 ($500,000) ($1,000,000) ($1,500,000) ($2,000,000) ($2,500,000) ($3,000,000) 611 Eligible Discharges 7.24% Estimated Impact

12 RRP Performance Scorecard Worksheet Performance Overview To review hospital performance over time, this table shows the Predicted and Expected Readmissions Rates and resulting Excess Readmissions Ratios for each of the conditions evaluated for each program year. While Predicted and Expected Rates are risk adjusted and vary by each condition and year due to changes in patient risk factors, Excess Ratios and resulting Excess Percents may be compared across years and conditions. Rates for FFY 2016 and ratios for FFYs reflect actual program performance as provided by CMS. For FFY 2018, performance is held constant at the FFY 2017 levels.

13 RRP Performance Scorecard Worksheet (con t) Estimated Revenue by Condition Condition-specific revenue is needed for the calculation of the payment adjustments under the program. If a hospital is determined to have excess readmissions for a condition (shown in the Performance Overview table earlier), condition-specific revenue is multiplied by the corresponding Excess Ratio to determine the Excess Revenue used to calculate payment penalties. The graph below displays Medicare inpatient base operating revenue to indicate relative exposure by condition and potential changes in exposure as revenue changes and as additional conditions/condition-specific revenues are added to the program. For the FFY 2018 estimate, revenue is held constant at FFY 2017 levels. $50,000,000 [D] [E] AMI HF PN THA/TKA COPD CABG AMI HF PN THA/TKA COPD CABG Condition Total for all Eligible Conditions Total Inpatient Base Operating Revenue Estimated Penalty Percent [Sum{C} D] Estimated Uncapped Adjustment Factor (1 - Penalty %) Estimated Capped Adjustment Factor (Capped at ) $40,000,000 $30,000,000 $20,000,000 $10,000,000 $0 FFY 2016 Program ACTUAL Performance (Based on data from July June 2014) Condition Revenue [B] $6,257,490 $7,759,380 $5,387,528 $14,049,066 $3,040,370 Does Not Apply $271,224,443 Excess [C = A B] ** $0 $480,613 $994,975 $0 $0 FFY 2017 Program ACTUAL Performance (Based on data from July June 2015) Condition Revenue [B] $6,008,373 $6,491,696 $9,871,105 $15,084,568 $2,932,607 $5,124,819 $261,182,418 Excess [C = A B] ** $171,725 $939,052 $1,136,860 FFY 2018 Program ESTIMATED Performance (Based on data from July June 2015) $9,871,105 $15,084,568 $2,932,607 $5,124,819 $261,182, % -0.93% -0.93% $0 $0 $175,438 Condition Revenue [B] $6,008,373 $6,491, (Actual program will use July June 2016 data) Excess [C = A B] ** $171,725 $939,052 $1,136,860 $0 $0 $175,438 $36,493,834 $1,475,587 $45,513,168 $2,423,076 $45,513,168 $2,423,076

This program is punitive only and does not give hospitals credit for improvement over time or lower readmission rates than the nation. First, CMS compares hospital riskadjusted readmission rates to national rates to calculate excess readmission ratios for each condition. Next, CMS applies the excess ratio to aggregate payments for each condition to find excess readmission dollars by condition. The sum of all excess readmission dollars for all applicable conditions divided by all inpatient operating revenue determines program adjustment factors/impacts under the program. The basic program methodology is shown below: Excess Readmission Ratios by Condition Excess Readmission Revenue by Condition Total Excess Readmission Revenue (all conditions) RRP Adjustment Factor Program Impact The RRP program evaluates hospital readmission rates for several conditions. In FFY 2013/2014, hospitals were evaluated on AMI, Heart Failure, and Pneumonia. Additional conditions, COPD and THA/TKA, were added to the program in 2015, and CABG is added in 2017, along with an expansion to the Pneumonia measure. Readmission rates, aggregate payments by condition, and excess readmission dollars by condition are all defined by a predetermined list of procedure and/or diagnoses codes specific to each condition. Each condition excludes certain planned readmissions or regular, scheduled follow up care. A hospital must have an applicable period of three years of discharge data and at least 25 cases in order to calculate an excess readmission ratio for each applicable condition. Each condition increases the revenue exposed under the program and the potential for excess readmissions that results in penalties under the program. The total estimated revenue across all hospitals for each condition is shown in the graph to the right to indicate the relative magnitude of each condition under the program. Importantly, the two new measures added in FFY 2015 expanded the program substantially and increased the national revenue exposure under the program by 80%. The expansion in FFY 2017 increases the revenue at risk for excess readmissions for the nation by an additional 24%. However, the magnitude of Hospital specific revenue/exposure in each condition may vary.

The HAC reduction program is punitive only and does not give hospitals credit for improvement over time. Under the program, hospitals are scored measure by measure based on their decile ranking (z-score for 2018+) nationwide. Scores for similar measures are combined into domain scores. Domain scores are then weighted together into a Total HAC score. The Total HAC score is used to determine the top quartile (worst performance) for payment penalty in each year. The HAC payment penalty is 1.0% of total Medicare Fee-For-Service (FFS) revenue and does not change year to year.

(2017) For each program measure, HAC ratios for all program-eligible hospitals nationwide (NEW FOR 2018+) HAC ratios for all program-eligible hospitals nationwide will be are separated into deciles for scoring (lowest decile = best performers). Hospitals are assigned winsorized z-scores. A z-score represents how different a hospital awarded points based on their national decile. When multiple hospitals have the same ratio performed compared to the national average, in terms of standard deviations from and the ratio crosses more than one decile, the lowest decile determines the measure score. the mean (poor performance = positive z-score (worse than the national average) and good performance = negative z-score (better than the national average). Windsorization is intended to remove the effects of extreme outliers. CMS chose to do this by setting all z-score values below the 5th percentile, to the 5th percentile value and above the 95th percentile, to the 95th percentile value. In order to receive a score on a measure, hospitals must meet minimum requirements. For Domain 1, a hospital must have 3 or more cases in at least one of the component PSI measures that make up the PSI-90 composite measure. For Domain 2, a hospital must have 1 or more predicted infections. *Measures not meeting the minimum scoring requirements are dropped from the domain score calculation. If a domain does not contain at least one eligible measure, then the Total HAC score is determined based solely on the other domain. Beginning 2017, hospitals will receive a score of 10 for any Domain 2 measure that is not submitted, unless provided with a waiver.
