13 13 Overview of Medicare Established in 1965 as part of great society An entitlement program covering those over age 65 (34 M), ESRD and disabled (9 M). Operated by federal Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) (formally HCFA) in Baltimore

19 19 A Brief History of Medicare Managed Care HCFA s TEFRA / Risk-Contract HMO program (in existence since 1980 s) Medicare+Choice M+C was created by the Balanced Budget Act (BBA) of 1997 MMA Reform of 2003 (in place in 2006) expands all this via Medicare-Advantage

20 Key Components of 2003 Medicare Modernization Act (MMA) Legislation Rx coverage for elderly Discount cards (at first) private PBMs (known as prescription drug plans or PDPs) Help for poor and high Rx users Donut hole coverage Means tested for upper income 20

21 21 Reform Cont. Expansion of Medicare Advantage. Former M+C HMOs and other private plans. Big boost in HMO payment. Lots of demonstrations in care coordination and in competitive premium support models To get law passed in 12/03, lots of political and conceptual trade-offs between big government and privatization.

22 22 Update of Part-D Drug coverage (2006) In each state as many as 80 PDP plans available from dozens of organizations. As of 2006 about 23 Million (of eligible 43 M) are in Part D. (Another 15 million have creditable coverage from other sources mainly retirement plans most get Medicare subsidy.) Of 23 million, 6 M dual-eligible (Medicaid), 6 Million via M+A HMOs and 10M in stand alone PDPs

23 Standard Medicare Drug Benefit, 2006 Catastrophic Coverage 5% Medicare Pays 95% Beneficiary Out-of-Pocket Spending $5,100 in Total Drug Costs** No Coverage (the doughnut hole ) $2,850 Gap: Beneficiary Pays 100% $2,250 in Total Drug Costs* Partial Coverage up to Limit 25% Medicare Pays 75% $386 average annual premium*** $250 Deductible *Equivalent to $750 in out-of-pocket spending. **Equivalent to $3,600 in out-of-pocket spending. ***Based on $32.20 national average monthly beneficiary premium (CMS, 8/2005). SOURCE: KFF analysis of standard drug benefit described in Medicare Modernization Act of 2003.

24 Update on Medicare Advantage There are now regional PPOs (not very popular yet) Payments to HMOs have increased. Some estimate up to 8% more than FFS equivalent. Was originally supposed to be 5% less than FFS. Several interesting RCTs of DM programs underway in FFS program (part of MMA). All of this is major hot button in Washington for future Congressional and presidential elections. 24
