Shared Savings Strategies Executive Dashboard (Monthly) Spend Increase: determine tiers of focus Spend Increase: run aggregate expenditure interactive tool comparisons for NPI and TIN to determine spend reduction focus areas. (Pull aggregate expenditure flat excel file). e.g.; 2015 vs. 2016 spend change greater than 0.00%. find spend target areas in aggregate expenditure tool. Financial & Quality Scorecards (Monthly Email Distribution) Setup financial benchmark (5%) reduction and quality performance score distribution to all TIN practice managers and NPI providers. QM Performance Scoring & QM Progress (Monthly) Review Scores of TINs/NPIs to determine substandard performance on scoring or progress. Face-to-Face Meeting with practices and/or individual providers with Spend Increase or substandard Quality Performance.

HCC Coding Audit Every Provider Capture the HCC Diagnosis Codes Patient Superbill Diagnosis Codes ICD10-1 ICD10-2 ICD10-3 ICD10-4 Billing Company Submission of Diagnosis Codes ICD10-1 ICD10-2 Missing Code Missing Code Not capturing the codes results in lower HCC score for patient and lower benchmark for ACO. Takes minimum of 12 months for this to create impact on your benchmark. Compare your office Superbill to Patient Profile for 10 Charts. 52% of ACOs have encountered this issue.

32 GPRO Web Interface: Quality Measures Validation Audit ACO, Measure, and Beneficiary Selection Shared Savings Program ACOs may be selected for audit In 2016, 10% of the SSP ACOs will be selected for audit Selection will be random or based on data anomalies Anomalies include such things as unusually high skip rates due to Medical Record Not Found Audit Measure and Beneficiary Selection CMS will audit about 200 records per ACO, across 4 to 5 measures All records will be reviewed by CMS Pioneer and Next Generation Model ACOs Information on the 2016 QMV Audit will be provided in the Pioneer Briefing and the Next Generation ACO Newsletter

33 GPRO Web Interface: Quality Measures Validation Audit, Process and Impact At the end of the audit, CMS will provide education and feedback regarding the findings. CMS will calculate the overall match rate Overall match rate = 100% Number of matches Number of records audited If the overall match rate is < 90%, the ACO s overall quality score may be reduced proportional to the ACO s Quality Measures Validation Audit match rate, and thus may impact financial reconciliation Example: If ACO earns an overall quality score of 95.00% and has a Quality Measures Validation Audit match rate of 80.00%, their final overall quality score used in financial reconciliation may be reduced to 95.00% 80.00% = 76.00% Please follow the Shared Savings Program ACO Spotlight Newsletter for information on an upcoming QMV Audit Webinar on January 9, 2017. Pioneer and Next Generation Model ACOs Please follow the Pioneer Briefing and the Next Generation ACO Newsletter for information on upcoming QMV Audit Webinars.

Criteria Consideration MSSP Track #1 MSSP Track #1+ MSSP Track #2 MSSP Track #3 NextGen Shared Savings Yes TBD Yes Yes Yes Shared Losses No TBD Yes Yes Yes Summary of risk model This track is designed for lessexperienced organizations. Participants share in savings but not losses. TBD More experienced organizations may bypass Track 1 and begin in Track 2. ACOs that begin in Track 1 can move to Track 2 after three years. Track 2 participants share in both savings and losses. This track began in 2016 and has a higher sharing rate than Tracks 1 and 2. Organizations can share in savings up to 75 percent. They are also at risk for greater losses than organizations in Track 2. Increased shared risk: For periods one through three, organizations would share savings or losses up to 80 percent; for period four, the rate would increase to 85 percent. Full performance risk: Organizations would share 100 percent of the savings and losses. 35
