1 A Path to Accountable Care Organizations: How Do We Get From There to Here? Financial Considerations for Accountable Care Entity Engagement Presented by Milliman, Inc. San Francisco, CA Six Considerations Related to Financial Success 1. Set budgets/targets accurately 2. Use appropriate p gain/loss sharing reflecting capabilities of provider group 3. Timely, easy to use, reports to providers and possibly to members 4. Define how members will be assigned 5. Define scope of services 6. Quality measurement 2 1
2 Simple Secrets to ACO Success To be successful, an ACO must preach and practice two challenging and often-overlooked imperatives: 1. Establish actuarial cost and utilization targets appropriate for the ACO s designated d business model (Medicare, commercial, Medicaid) id) 2. Provide medical management to achieve those targets 3 Bending the Cost Curve Establish baseline per member per month (PMPM) claim cost Historical analysis of claims Establish trend, based on historical or concurrent information. Project to contract period for target PMPM. Savings are shared with providers. Losses may be shared with providers also. Baseline PMPM x Trend = Target PMPM Projected PMPM Actual PMPM = Savings PMPM Savings PMPM Payer Provider 4 2
3 Performance Needed for Success Reduce utilization below level achieved by plan Varies but in general a 5% to 10% reduction in PMPM is required This typically translates into a >10% reduction in utilization of key services (IP, OP hosp, imaging, specialty referrals, etc.) reason is need to cover cost for ACO infrastructure Can be a consideration for plan wanting to provide infrastructure to ACO as plan may not have infrastructure required to achieve the additional utilization reduction Minimize leakage 5 Building an ACO Budget The overall financial budget/target will be established by the payer or regulator (CMS, local health plan, state Medicaid plan, etc.). The ACO will need to convert these budgets/targets into utilization targets and validate the reasonability of the targets by performing its own actuarial analysis and building an ACO actuarial model Utilization reduction and improved efficiency will likely determine whether an ACO stays within the budget or achieves the established targets. t 6 3
4 Creating and Using an ACO Actuarial Model Use the designated population s historical data to build an ACO actuarial cost and utilization model consistent with the base period that the payer will use to evaluate performance Use the ACO actuarial model to compare the historical data to achievable benchmarks, appropriately adjusted for demographics and risk Categorize the utilization data by Meaningful and impactable service categories Site of service where relevant (e.g., hospital outpatient versus ambulatory surgical center) ACO and non-aco providers (leakage) 7 Evaluating Financial Feasibility Identify and prioritize potential opportunities for Reducing utilization by service category Shifting utilization to alternative lower cost sites of service Steering utilization to ACO providers (if lower cost) Monetize those opportunities and calculate the overall financial impact include the cost needed to implement management programs (hospitalists, util. management, referral management, etc) Determine if the calculated financial impact will meet the financial budgets/targets. 8 4
5 Priorities Focus initial management efforts on Reducing leakage to hospitals and specialists that are not part of the ACO. (This will increase volume to ACO providers and help offset revenue loss due to improved utilization management.) Inpatient utilization management. (Inpatient costs make up approximately 30% of total costs for a commercially insured population and 37% of total Medicare Part A and B spend) Secondary focus for management efforts should include high tech imaging, ER visits, specialist visits & generic/brand drug distribution 9 ACO Financial Feasibility & Actuarial Utilization Model (MAFF) MAFF does all of the following: 1. Produce a financial feasibility for developing an ACO model of healthcare delivery. Includes impact and cost of required infrastructure Utilization management (IP & OP) Case/Chronic disease management Plan management support (e-visits, e-consults, urgent care/expanded access, physician incentives) Group practice support (reporting, management support) Interactive input allows model to be matched to characteristics of specific payers, providers and geographic locations Provides a bottom line answer to financial feasibility and also what needs to be in place to achieve this Anchored by Milliman s Health Cost Guidelines benchmarks 2. Allows ongoing measurement of results 10 5
6 Sample ACO Actuarial Model Showing All Admissions 11 Milliman Health Cost Guidelines 2010 Commercial Loosely Managed Sample ACO Actuarial Model Showing Impactable Admissions Targeted Utilization Reduction for a Hypothetical Loosely Managed Medicare Population* Target Types of Admissions Admits/1,000 Target Reduction Admits/1,000 Ambulatory Case Sensitive Admissions 47 (14% of total) 15% 40 Preference Sensitive Admissions 40 (12% of total) 10% 36 Readmissions 40 (12% of total)** 10% 36 Other Admissions 210 0% 210 Total Medical/Surgical Admissions % 322 * Defined for this example as having approximately 340 admissions per 1,000 enrollees ** 12% excludes a portion of readmissions classified as ambulatory care sensitive admissions Source: This is a hypothetical example based on Milliman Health Cost Guidelines Ages 65 and Over 12 6
7 Leakage and Site of Service Analysis Analyze ACO versus non-aco provider utilization by DRGs Ambulatory Surgery Specialists Identify specific leakage facilities Identify leakage services outside the expertise of the ACO Analyze site of service for OP procedures (hospital OP versus ambulatory surgical centers) 13 Essential Management Services Supply Side The more challenging side of medical management but produces majority of savings Intended to reduce utilization and payment for medically unnecessary services and ensure that care is delivered in the most appropriate setting Clinical guidelines help evaluate the medical necessity of requested (or, retrospectively rendered) services. Demand side Optimize a population s health so that demand for services will be lower. Impact ambulatory care sensitive admissions, preference sensitive admissions, readmissions, and ER visits 14 7
8 Case Study - Using Hospital Employee Benefit Data Examples from General Medical Center Employee benefit data captures full scope of services in detail. This data is often not otherwise available to providers unless you work closely with a payer Excellent source for benchmarking 15 ACO Actuarial Model: Start w/ Demographics Member Demographics July 2006 to Sept 2008 GMC Members Standard Members Age Group Male Female Male Female To % 18.2% 19.5% 19.4% % 4.5% 3.3% 3.3% % 4.1% 4.1% 4.2% % 5.3% 4.6% 4.8% % 5.9% 5.0% 5.2% % 6.0% 4.6% 5.0% % 6.0% 3.9% 4.4% % 4.7% 2.2% 2.5% % 2.6% 1.4% 1.6% % 0.8% 06% 0.6% 05% 0.5% 05% 0.5% Total 42.0% 58.0% 49.2% 50.8% Demographic Adjustment Factors Inpatient Admits: 1.11 Inpatient Days: 1.11 Medical Claims Costs: 1.11 Pharmacy Claims Costs: 1.16 GMC is Illustrative Hospital Employee and Dependent Population Sources: Milliman Health Cost Guidelines. 16 8

13 Reporting How do you make good value choices if you don t know the cost, efficiency and quality differences among hospitals and specialists For Example: Comparison Indices ProvType Name UnitCost Efficiency Quality Hospital A Hospital B Hospital C Cardiologist A Cardiologist B Cardiologist C Reports Unit Cost Comparison Standard fee schedules will allow for easier comparisons among hospitals and specialists. This will help members and referrals. Non-standard fee schedules will require more complicated and less precise unit cost comparisons among hospitals and specialists. For example: Inpatient Outpatient Total Facility Medical Surgical Mat MH/SA Avg ER Surg Rad Lab Other Avg Avg A B C Note: There will still be variation within each category and contract/charge master charges will impact historical based estimates. See Milliman s RBRVS for Hospitals TM for methodology

Assigned to specialist providing primary care services if member has no PCP visits. More complex
16 Medicare Proposed Rules Prospective vs. Retrospective Prospective: Assigned at beginning of year based on historical utilization. Providers know who is assigned and can develop targeted programs such as identifying high risk members and outreach programs. Providers can track and monitor experience. Opponents contend providers should do this for all members not just assigned members. Will always be some retrospective adjustments for various reasons such as a member moving. Retrospective: Assigned at end of year based on actual utilization. Year to year movement of beneficiaries significant Decision based on higher accuracy and desire to change provider behavior for all beneficiaries rather than assigned beneficiaries 31 Medicare Proposed Rules Majority vs. Plurality Plurality: More beneficiaries assigned. Most Medicare members see multiple l providers and desire was to assign as many members as possible. No minimum threshold. Majority: Stricter, less beneficiaries assigned. Provider has more responsibility. Determination by Count of Services or Total Dollars Number of Services: Total Dollars: No tie-breaker rules. Not necessarily provider seen most often. May reflect intensity/resource use. Beneficiary Notification ACOs will post information about their participation CMS to provider educational material to beneficiaries 32 16
17 Scope of Services 1. Capitation agreements have Division of Financial Responsibility and often remove out of area, pharmacy, transplants, etc. 2. Typically, all covered services are included as goal is to coordinate care. 3. If not, alternative target rates need to be created allowing for various exclusions. 4. Pooling of large claims provides some protection for large uncontrollable events. 33 Quality Ambulatory Preventive Visits Eye exams for Diabetics Cancer Screening Hospital AMI: Aspirin at admission & discharge; Smoking cessation Pneumonia: Smoking cessation; Oxygen assessment; Antibiotic w/in 6 hrs Outcomes Hypertension: Controlling high blood pressure AMI or Pneumonia after major surgery Patient Experience 34 17
18 Common Mistakes Flawed analysis: Failure to capture trend; IBNR; stoploss; fees too high Assume claims costs will be enough (ignore admin cost) Underserved population generates surge in services Uncontrollable leakage Flawed design Rich benefits Internal competition/greed takes over instead of common enemy Payer barriers to reducing utilization removed (no more UM) utilization surges Services provided to ineligibles
