Agenda 1) The Era of Healthcare Reform 2) Healthcare Reform and Post-Acute Care 3) Succeeding in the Reform Era: Managing the Continuum of Health 4) Post-Acute Care and End of Life Care 5) Planning for the Future of Healthcare Reform SESSION DESCRIPTION: Healthcare Reform has been part of our local and national dialogue for almost 10 years. But how much has actually changed, and how has that change impacted patients, employers, payers, and providers across the delivery system? This session will explore the scope and impact of healthcare reform on issues such as care delivery, value-based payments, risk capability, clinical integration and data analytics, with a focus on post-acute providers. 1

The CMS Goal to Transform Healthcare Delivery 2016 30% 2018 50% In 2016, at least 30% of U.S. health care payments are linked to quality and value through APMs. In 2018, at least 50% of U.S. health care payments are so linked. Adoption of Alternative Payment Models (APMs) These payment reforms are expected to demonstrate better outcomes and lower costs for patients. Better Care, Smarter Spending, Healthier People 6

Healthcare Reform and Post-Acute Care 10

Healthcare Reform and the Impact Across the Care Continuum 11

Significance of Post-Acute Care PAC services drive a significant amount of current health care expenditure that for many populations is essentially unmanaged and Recent CMS programs highlight the important of clinical coordination and integration across the transition from acute to PAC facilities as success in any episodic payment model is based on the ability to manage and control postacute care spend Relatively short timeline for this type of program implementation can produce decreasing costs over a shorter period of time Cross positive impact on Readmissions penalties and Hospital Value Based Purchasing penalties/bonus on the Medicare Spend Per Beneficiary domain Cross positive impact on Physicians in the Cost component in both the network and the Cost component of MIPs up to 60% of episodic spending occurs post-acute 12

Succeeding in the Era of Healthcare Reform: Managing the Continuum of Health 15

Becoming Risk Capable The Basics Enterprise Intelligence Advancing levels of risk require more sophisticated analytical models that can access data sets offering insight into cost and quality for a given population. Critical Success Factors Information / Analytics Requirement for Change Capital / Technology Clinical Enterprise Maturity An integrated Clinical Enterprise structurally engages providers around improved health outcomes, management of costs, acceptance of risk contracts, and value delivery to healthcare marketplaces. Critical Success Factors Alignment / Integration Requirement for Change Incentives / Time (People) Revenue Transformation Managed Revenue Transformation emphasizes the need for a next-gen revenue management platform focused on reimbursement for value with an aligned distribution methodology. Critical Success Factors Systems Requirement for Change Controls / Processes 16

The Benefits of Effective Post Acute Care Coordination Direct patients to most appropriate, lowest cost post-acute setting Select PAC providers based on clinical capabilities and performance indicators Ensure most effective care for most appropriate length of time Define referral patterns with clear clinical pathways Establish interdisciplinary teams for smooth care transitions and patient management 19

Post Acute Care and End of Life Care 20

Spending for End of Life Care End of life care remains a significant portion of healthcare spend $34,529 Average Medicare spending per beneficiary in traditional Medicare who died in 2014 - almost four times higher than the average cost per capita for seniors who did not die during the year. 25% Percentage of spending for health care services provided to beneficiaries age 65 and older in the last year of life. Research shows that spending during the year of death decreases with age after age 73. Where the spending occurs: Hospital inpatient Skilled nursing Hospice 21

Where the Spending for End of Life Occurs Medicare covers a comprehensive set of healthcare services that include care in hospitals and several other settings, home health care, physician services, diagnostic tests, and prescription drug coverage through a separate Medicare benefit.

Planning for the Future of Healthcare Reform

The New Era of Healthcare Reform The new reform era will be driven by free market principles: MARKET COMPETITION and CONSUMER CHOICE Health Savings Accounts Cross-state Insurance Sales Increased Transparency Re-importation of Medications Negotiations with Drugs Makers Tax credits for individuals paying out-of-pocket Block-granting Medicaid 25

The New Political Agenda and its Impact on Healthcare Delivery Repeal and Replace ACA Allow sale of insurance plans across state lines Payers: NEGATIVE Providers: NEGATIVE Payers: NEUTRAL Providers: NEUTRAL Require Provider Price Transparency Re-importation of prescription drugs Payers: POSITIVE Providers: NEGATIVE Payers: NEUTRAL Providers: NEUTRAL Expand Health Savings Account Allow Medicare to negotiate drugs prices Payers: POSITIVE Providers: NEGATIVE Payers: NEUTRAL Providers: NEUTRAL Block grants for Medicaid funding Allow deduction of health insurance premiums Payers: NEUTRAL Providers: NEGATIVE Payers: POSITIVE Providers: POSITIVE 26

Emergence of Consumerism in the New Reform Era CHARACTERISTICS OF A TRADITIONAL VS. CONSUMER MARKET Traditional Market Passive employer, price-insulated employee Broad, open networks No platform for apples-toapples plan comparison Disruptive for employers to change benefit options Constant employee premium contribution, low deductibles 1 Growing number of buyers 2 Proliferation of product options 3 Increased transparency 4 Reduced switching costs 5 Greater consumer cost exposure Consumer Market Activist employer, price-sensitive individual Narrow, custom networks Clear plan comparison on exchange platforms Easy for individuals to switch plans annually Variable individual premium contribution, high deductibles Source: Health Care Advisory Board interviews and analysis 27
