1 How do Medicaid, Medicare, and Commercial Insurance Vary in Community-Level Performance? Using Claims Data from the Wisconsin Health Information Organization (WHIO) to Assess Variation in Population Health Processes November WARF Building, 610 Walnut Street Madison, Wisconsin Prepared by Donna Friedsam, MPH Daphne Kuo, PhD Kristen Voskuil, MA
2 Background The Wisconsin Health Information Organization (WHIO) received Medicare data from the Dartmouth Atlas/Brookings Institute collaboration, with support from the Markel Foundation, to support its understanding of variation among various markets in payer performance. The conducted various exploratory analyses to determine the utility of the Medicare data provided in aggregate at the county level. Specifically, the used the data provided by both Dartmouth (Medicare) and Ingenix (Commercial and Medicaid) to assess the payers performance along various parameters. 1. By County, along process measures for diabetes quality: HbA1c, LDL annual, annual retinopathy exam. 2. For three service areas participating in pilot projects for the Partnership for Health Care Payment Reform (PHPR): Three process measures and the composite measure, by payer and for all payers. 3. Correlation between various county-level WHIO measures for Health Utilization and the z-score of county in the Institute s annual County Health Ranking. The measures of health utilization tested are as follows: Admits per 1,000: Medical, Surgical, ASC, All visits IP days per 1,000: Medical, Surgical, ASC, all visits Emergency Department: Avoidable ED per 100, for all diagnoses Avoidable ED per 100, for primary diagnoses ED payment per day, allowed charge ED payment per day, CMS payment # of ED days per 100, no IP admissions days # of ED days per 100, with IP admission days Sources of WHIO Data WHIO was formed in 2005 to serve as a data warehouse for resource use information. Most large insurance companies in the state, along with the Wisconsin Medicaid program, now submit de-identified health insurance claims data to WHIO. The WHIO DataMart Version 5, on which this report is based, includes data submitted by the following contributors: WPS Health Insurance Corp., WEA Trust Insurance, Humana, Anthem, United Healthcare of Wisconsin, State of Wisconsin Medicaid (FFS and HMO), Gundersen Lutheran Health Plan, Dean Health Plan, Security Health Plan, MercyCare Health Plan, Group Health Cooperative of South Central Wisconsin, Network Health Plan, and Physicians Plus Insurance Corporation. Combined, this data represents claims from more than 3.7 million Wisconsin residents. Both the WHIO and Medicare datasets include only health insurance claims data. They should generally reflect services delivered to the patient, but are susceptible to any irregularities that may accompany coding and billing process. Page 1 of 25
3 1. Diabetes Process Measures by County Tables 1a below lists, by county the percent of persons in each payer group receiving the recommended tests HbA1c and LDL tests and the difference in rates between the payers Commercial, Medicaid, and Medicare. The percentage differences that have an asterisk indicate a statistically significant difference in performance between the two payers. For nearly all counties, Medicaid shows significantly lower performance than Commercial and Medicare in these counties. Medicaid statewide performs approximately 35% lower than Commercial and Medicare on LDL testing. Medicaid statewide performs approximately 30% lower than Commercial and Medicare on HbA1c testing. The performance of Commercial and Medicare are statistically similar in most counties, except In Jefferson, Juneau, Kenosha, Racine and Sauk Counties, Medicare performance for LDL testing significantly outpaces Commercial payer performance. In Kenosha, Racine, and Sauk Counties, Medicare performance of HbA1c testing significantly outpaces Commercial payer performance. The Bar Charts 1a-1c illustrate, by payer (COM, MCR, MCD), each county variation from the county mean for HbA1c and LdL testing. Those bars extending beyond the zone of standard deviation indicate performance either significantly above or significantly below the mean for all counties on that performance measure. The maps 1a-1d that follow illustrate the variation by county in performance of these diabetes tests HbA1c, LDL, and retinopathy on a composite all-payer basis (Commercial, Medicare, and Medicaid). The all-payer composite performance rates reflected in the maps are weighted to adjust for varying composition of payer groups in each county. That allows the performance rates to compare actual overall delivery system performance rather than reflecting simply the relative predominance of, for example, Medicare (which generally has higher performance). In other words, the weighted rate indicates the performance as if each county had the statewide standard percentage of payers for each process measure (HbA1c, LDL, eye exam), as indicated by Table 1b.

9 Variation from the Overall County Mean, by Payer The Bar Charts 1a-1c illustrate, by payer (COM, MCR, MCD), each county variation from the county mean for HbA1c and LdL testing. Those bars extending beyond the zone of standard deviation indicate performance either significantly above or significantly below the mean for all counties on that performance measure. The Table 1c, below, lists counties performing outside the bounds of one standard deviation above (better) or below (worse) than the overall mean of all counties. Table 1c.

13 2. Payment Reform Service Areas Three service areas are participating in the pilot projects for the Partnership for Health Care Payment Reform (PHPR). These service areas are defined in two levels: 1) Counties named by the providers participating in the PHPR, and 2) as derived from the zip codes associated with the Hospital Service Area within the Dartmouth Atlas. In the former case, while these provides may have a presence in these counties (and thus consider them part of their service area), they do not have a significant geographic or market share in many of them. So these providers services will not move the population-level (county-level) data for those counties where they do not care for a significant percentage of the population. For this reason, the data were also analyzed using the Dartmouth Atlas more narrow service area. The population for HSA zip code, within each county, was aggregated to determine the share of the population in each county attributed to that HSA. Counties were only included in the service area if a predominant portion of the overall county population could be assigned to the HSA for that provider. Table 2a, below, shows the percent of the population that can be attributed to the HSAs for provider systems HVN and Monroe Clinic. (This analysis was not run for Milwaukee IPN because the specific providers were not designated. ) Table 2a NEWHVN County Total in Total County Population Service Area % Service Area of County Brown 249, , % Door 2,656 27,765 10% Kewaunee 12,829 20,594 62% Manitowoc ,406 0% Marinette ,719 7% Oconto 32,043 37,723 85% Outagamie 4, ,455 3% Shawano ,954 2% Monroe Clinic* County Total in Service Area Total County Population Service Area % of County Green 36,884 36, % La Fayette 4,246 16,880 25% * Monroe Clinic s service of Stephenson County, Illinois is not included because we did not receive Medicare or WHIO data about that area. Also, Monroe Clinic did not indicate LaFayette County within its service area. However, Dartmouth Atlas shows 25% of the county is in the Monroe Clinic HSA. We were not able to provide the service data because LaFayette County was not included in the data we received from Dartmouth or Ingenix (that data only had 58 counties.) Page 12 of 25
14 These two methods resulted in the following service areas, with the more narrow HSA-derived service area in bold: NEWHVN: Brown, Calumet, Kewaunee, Oconto, Outagamie, Shawano, Waupaca, Waushara,Winnebago Milwaukee IPN: Milwaukee, Kenosha, Ozaukee, Racine, Waukesha Monroe Clinic: Green County Tables 2c,d, and e list, by narrow and wide service area, the percent of persons in each payer group Commercial, Medicaid, and Medicare-- receiving the recommended tests HbA1c, LDL, retinopathy tests, and the composite score for receipt of all three tests. The final all-payer rates, in Table 2f, are weighted to adjust for varying composition of payer groups in each service area. That allows the rates to compare actual overall provider performance rather than simply the relative predominance of, for example, Medicare (which generally has higher performance). In other words, the weighted rate indicates the performance against a standardized percentage of payers, as indicated by the Adjustment Factors Table 2b, below.

19 3. Correlation between WHIO measures and County Health Ranking The correction was tested between various county-level WHIO measures for Health Utilization and the z-score of county in the Institute s annual County Health Ranking. (Table 3 and Figures 3a-h) WHIO measures of health utilization tested are as follows: Admits per 1,000: Medical, Surgical, ASC, All visits IP days per 1,000: Medical, Surgical, ASC, all visits Outpatient visits per 100: Primary care, Specialist, Total Emergency Department: Avoidable ED per 100, for all diagnoses Avoidable ED per 100, for primary diagnoses ED payment per day, allowed charge ED payment per day, CMS payment # of ED days per 100, no IP admissions days # of ED days per 100, with IP admission days The CHR provides two sets of rankings: Factors and Outcomes. Factors z-score rolls up data on health behaviors, clinical care, social and economic, and the physical environment. Outcomes z-score rolls up data on how long people live (mortality) and how healthy people feel (morbidity). These include premature death, birth outcomes, and health-related quality of life indices. It is important to note that the CHRs use some Dartmouth Atlas elements as part of Factors z-score. The rankings use of the Dartmouth Medicare data, and their percentage contribution to the overall ranking are as follows: HbA1c testing (2.5%) and hospitalizations for Ambulatory Care Sensitive Conditions (5%). With this context, a note: These correlations appear to serve as a validation exercise rather than providing value-added information that can lead to action. There is no genuinely independent variable here: The WHIO/Dartmouth utilization measures are a function of community health factors (many of which are measured with the CHR), while the CHR ranking includes utilization in their scoring algorithm. Consistent and statistically significant correlation was found between the following WHIO quality parameters and the county health ranking (z-score) for both Factors and Outcomes, for the following measures: Hospital admissions for Ambulatory Care Sensitive Conditions (per 1,000 population) Inpatient days for Ambulatory Care Sensitive Conditions (per 1,000 population) ED payment per day allowed charge ED payment per day CMS payment # of ED days, no IP admission days (per 100 population) # of ED days with IP admission days (per 100 population) Correlation was also found with the CHR Factors ranking, but not the Outcomes Ranking, for the following: Avoidable ED visits for primary diagnosis (rate per 100 population) Outpatient Visits to Specialist (Rate per 100 population) Medical and all hospital admissions (rate per 1,000 population) Page 18 of 25
