6 FY 2014 Proposed IPPS Personal Comments Reg has become too long Original law was only 138 pages Too much history Too much redundancy Supposedly for lawyers and to ward off law suits Hard to find changes being proposed Does have a decent executive summary 6
7 Update MB would be 2.5% (0.5% for non-quality providers) Offsets: (0.4%) for productivity (0.3%) for ACA mandate (0.8%) for documentation & coding (per ATRA) (0.2%) for new policy proposal on I/P criteria CMS says net Increase is 0.8% (-1.2% for non-quality providers) Increase in total payments would be $27 million 7
8 Update There are more offsets: Budget neutrality items Readmissions DSH Value-Based Purchasing ACA law said updates could be less than current may now become real Cancer or children s would receive full MB with no offsets 8
9 More Adjustments Budget neutrality for: DRG recalibration Wage index changes Geographic reclassification Rural community hospital demonstration program Removing the FY 2013 outlier offset Documentation and coding to date Offsetting the cost of the policy proposal on admission and medical review criteria 9
10 Update Revising the MB Would use 2010 data in lieu of 2004 Results in new labor-related share values Large Urban areas those with wage index greater than from 68.8 to 69.6 percent Other areas with wage index values equal to or less than would remain at 62.0 percent by law If no law, would be 63.2 percent 10

40 IME / GME IME multiplier unchanged at 1.35 by law Hospital cannot count a resident training at a CAH for either IME or GME Revising yet again the policy concerning the counting of labor / delivery room days Proposing to include labor and delivery days as inpatient days in the Medicare utilization calculation, effective for cost reporting periods beginning on or after October 1,
41 New DSH Formula Mandated by Section 3133 of ACA Splits system 25 percent remains as old formula Rescrambles 75 percent Uses 3 factors 41
42 DSH Factor One Determines 75 percent of what would have been paid under the old methodology Using CMS actuary estimates from February 2013 Current estimate is $9.25 Billion 42
43 DSH Factor Two `Reduces Factor One amount by percentage reduction in uninsured from 2013 to 2014 Using CBO projections For 2013, March 2010 projection was 18 percent For 2014, February 2013 projection was 16 percent Using 2010/2011 cost report data 43
44 DSH Factor Two Formula 1 [( )/0.18] = = (88.9 percent) (88.9 percent) (0.1 percentage points) = (88.8 percent) = Factor 2 This results in a 11.2 percent reduction, or $8.2 Billion This is the new pie to be redistributed Loss of DSH is $1.05 Billion Expect average DSH reduction of 11.2 percent??? 44
45 DSH Factor Three Determining each hospital s percentage of the Factor Two pie Factor 3 is a hospital-specific value that expresses the proportion of the estimated uncompensated care amount for each subsection (d) hospital with the potential to receive DSH payments relative to the estimated uncompensated care amount for all hospitals estimated to receive DSH payments in the fiscal year for which the uncompensated care payment is to be made Based on each hospital s share of total uncompensated care costs across all PPS hospitals that received DSH payments So the numerator is all PPS hospitals, but denominator is just DSH hospitals 45
46 DSH Factor Three CMS proposes to use the utilization of insured low-income patients defined as inpatient days of Medicaid patients plus inpatient days of Medicare SSI patients as defined in 42 CFR (b)(4) and (b)(2)(i), respectively to determine Factor 3 From 2010/2011 cost reports 46
47 DSH Factor Three Definition of uncompensated care is bound to be controversial Tables are posted showing CMS estimate of each hospital s share Service-Payment/AcuteInpatientPPS/dsh.html 47
48 Readmissions Maximum reduction increases to 2 percent Proposing to expand conditions covered by this policy for FY 2015 COPD Total hip arthoplasty Total knee arthoplasty 48
49 Value Based Purchasing Withhold amount increases to 1.25 percent Total amount available for performance-based incentive payments for FY 2014 would be approximately $1.1 billion 49
50 Value Based Purchasing Proposing to remove measures AMI-8a, PN-3b, and HF-1 for FY 2016 Proposing to adopt three new measures for FY 2016 one new clinical process measure, influenza immunization two new healthcare-associated infection measures, Catheter-Associated Urinary Tract Infection (CAUTI) and Surgical Site Infection (SSI), the latter of which is stratified into two separate surgery sites 50
51 Value Based Purchasing Medicare Spending per Beneficiary will be implemented in FY
52 HAC Reduction Affects payment in FY 2015 Lowest-performing quartile get 1.0 percent reduction Proposed measures of two types (domains) Each weighted equally First domain six patient safety indicators Pressure ulcers rate Foreign objects left in body percent Iatrogenic Pneumothorax rate Post-op physiologic / metabolic derangement rate Post-op pulmonary embolism / deep vein thrombosis rate Second domain two infection measures CLABSI CAUTI 52
53 HAC Reduction Would be risk-adjusted Process for hospitals to review and correct information Relevant time period is 7/1/11 to 6/30/13 Scoring is a mystery 53
54 Quality Reporting Proposing to remove 8 measures for FY 2016 Adding 5 for FY 2016 (outcome-focused) Cancer hospitals For FY 15 one new measure For FY new measures Psych hospitals For FY 16 three new measures 54
55 LTCHs Update of 1.8% (-0.2% for non-reports) MB of 2.5% Less PPACA offsets of (0.7%) Standardized amount adjustment Second-year of three-year adjustment period Results in proposed Federal rate of $40, Current is $40, Labor-related share is Current is Fixed-loss amount is $14,139 Current is $15,408 Update quality reporting 25% rule reinstated 55
