- 12. What is a “Value-Based Payment” Model? Efficiency: The state or quality of achieving maximum productivity with minimum wasted effort or expense Quality: The standard of something as measured against other things of a similar kind; the degree of excellence of something “quality of life” also the general Value: The regard that something is held to excellence of standard or level deserve; the importance or preciousness of something: “Your support is of great value” Value-Based Payment: A payment model which rewards healthcare providers for meeting certain predetermined performance measures related to quality and efficiency The Georgia Society of CPAs February 7, 2014 Page 11

Hospital Value-Based Purchasing (“HVBP”) • Rewards and penalties based on quality measures and patient satisfaction scores • Penalties for high readmission rates – FY12-14 for AMI, heart failure, and pneumonia; expand list in FY15 – Reduce overall inpatient payment by 1%-3% • Penalties for Hospital Acquired Conditions (HACs)/Never Events – In FY15, top 25% in HACs will have payments reduced by 1% The Georgia Society of CPAs February 7, 2014 Page 12
- 14. Value: PVBP PVBP: Physician Value-Based Purchasing • Physician feedback program – Individual reports on resource use and quality of care as compared to peer group • Physician value-based payment modifier – Phased in between 2015 and 2017 – 2014 performance determines 2016 modifier – Budget neutral – wRVU x conversion factor x VBPM • Positive number = paid more • Negative number = paid less The Georgia Society of CPAs February 7, 2014 Page 13

PQRS: How Patients are Identified Patients whose care you directed: you billed 35% or more of all their outpatient E&M visits Patients whose care you influenced: you billed less than 35% of outpatient E&M visits but 20% or more of their costs Patients whose care you contributed are those you billed less than 35% of visits and less than 20% of their total cost The Georgia Society of CPAs February 7, 2014 Page 17

- 30. ACO ACO: Accountable Care Organization • “Under the program, primary care physicians are encouraged to join together with other providers to take responsibility for the full continuum of their primary care patients’ care.” • “[Physicians] must commit to reporting comprehensive measures of the quality and -- eventually -- outcomes of care. If they are able to improve quality and thereby reduce costs, they will receive a share of the savings achieved.” • “The term “accountable” is intended to mean just that; ACOs should only receive additional payments to the extent that they are demonstrably improving care for their patients.” – The Dartmouth Atlas of Health Care – The Georgia Society of CPAs February 7, 2014 Page 29
- 31. MSSP ACO MSSP ACO: Medicare Shared Savings Program ACO • Clinically integrated networks that have contracted with CMS to share in whatever money the community saves – To be eligible for shared savings, must meet minimum performance standards for 33 ACO quality measures. – How do we know if they have “saved”? – CMS reviews the historic costs of the patients in the network and uses that as the baseline to determine savings. – As of January 1, 2014, 343 MSSP ACOs approved by CMS.
