1 Risk Adjusted Episodes as Benchmarks for ACOs: A Society of Actuaries Sponsored Study Presented by Bill O Brien, FSA, MAAA Consulting Actuary Milliman Houston, TX (832) Preconference I

2 Agenda Quick Overview - What s Driving ACOs? Strategy, Strategy, Strategy Physician Group Practices Hospital Systems Preserving FFS Revenues alongside ACOs Which way will the balance tip? SOA Research Project on Accountable Care Organizations 2 October 26, 2012

3 What s driving ACOs? Accountable Care Act CMS Shared Savings Program (MSSP) CMMI Pioneer ACO Pursued mainly by physician group practices Overall shift from FFS to Value/Population-based payments that include adjustments for Quality Outcomes Bundled Payments Gain Sharing Arrangements Capitations 3 October 26, 2012

4 Differing Incentives: Hospitals vs. Physicians One Party s Savings = Another s lost Revenue Physicians Physicians primary driver of savings from hospitals Little lost revenue until near well managed New Revenue Stream opportunity Hospital savings Can be used to finance practice improvements in efficiency CMS offering partial up-front payments for small, rural practices Vast Majority of MSSPs are physician organizations Options that offer upside risk only 4 October 26, 2012

5 Differing Incentives: Hospitals vs. Physicians Hospitals One Party s Savings = Another s lost Revenue Most early Savings come from reduced hospital margins Creates conflicting incentives for FFS vs. Population-based Consensus Change is happening now and accelerating into 2014 Hospitals would need >75% of savings to replace lost margin contributions from eliminated services There is no status quo option FFS may soon be a casualty of high costs, reform Dangers: Moving too quickly before fixed costs are reduced Moving too slowly and being shut out of ACO networks, payers Physicians create an ACO and cut out the hospital 5 October 26, 2012

6 Differing Incentives: Hospitals vs. Physicians Hospital Responses Buying strategic physician practices Primary Care, Hospital-based physicians Medicare Reimbursement opportunities (e.g. Oncology) Partnering/Merging with other hospital systems Everyone is talking to Everyone Bundled Services or Capitations Controlling the revenue Requires discounting current and future services Starting an HMO Insert themselves higher in the revenue stream HMO margins offset some lost Hospital margins 6 October 26, 2012

7 Initial Population Targets Hospital system employee health plan Generally self funded; Savings (mostly) accrue to system Medicare Advantage Product simplicity Large portion of patient populations High potential for savings Medicaid Managed Care Savings offset low unit reimbursements Commercial & ASO/TPA Revenue to cover administrative costs of other products Preparation for exchanges 7 October 26, 2012

8 Balancing Act FFS payments still dominant Optimistically, may be 50% at-risk in 2-3 years Some services, specialties don t bundle easily Many providers not pursuing risk strategies preserve FFS Spillover Effect Improved Efficiency = Services eliminated = Poor FFS performance Physician Compensation Must promote/reward conflicting goals Reduced costs per episode of care Increased quality and outcome measures Increased patient services volume (FFS) 8 October 26, 2012

9 SOA Research Launched April, 2012 Multiple Milliman offices participating Goal: To develop tools and methods to help ACOs achieve and measure financial success Take episode of care analytics to next level Risk adjusted costs and utilization by service type Scheduled Publication in late October 26, 2012

10 SOA Research Approach: Risk adjust Episode of Care cost and utilization experience High-cost or avoidable service utilization Total costs by major service type (IP, OP, Pharma, Physic) Develop a financial model to estimate potential savings within Episode types, as ACO care efficiency improves; Reflect variation due to population size Develop methods for evaluating ACO results based on annual claims data. 10 October 26, 2012
