1 Bundling and the QIP Jay B. Wish, MD NKF of Illinois 15 th Annual Interdisciplinary Nephrology Conference October 24, 2014
2 Who Pays for Chronic Dialysis? Short answer you (the taxpayer) do Legislative basis: Public law , Social Security Act of 1972, Medicare eligibility for patients with ESRD after 3 month waiting period, provided they have paid into social security system for 20 quarters or are a dependent of someone who has. Medicare pays 80%, patient needs co-insurance to pay other 20%.
3 Driving Factors for Revision of Medicare Reimbursement for ESRD RCTs failed to show improved outcomes when ESAs dosed to higher Hb/Hct levels in patients with kidney disease CHOIR and CREATE in CKD patients Normal Hct Study in HD patients Costs of ESAs in ESRD patients escalating to >$2 billion/year High percentage of dialysis patients (50% in 2006) with Hb >12 g/dl (upper limit per KDOQI guidelines) Previous payment policy did not provide financial incentive to constrain ESA use CMS indicates Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services; ESRD, end-stage renal disease; PPS, prospective payment system; MIPPA, Medicare Improvement for Patients and Providers; CHOIR, The Correction of Hemoglobin and Outcomes in Renal Insufficiency; CREATE, The Cardiovascular risk Reduction by Early Anemia Treatment with Epoetin Beta; CKD, chronic kidney disease; ESA, erythropoiesis-stimulating agent; Hb, hemoglobin; Hct, hematocrit; HD, hemodialysis.
4 Previous Medicare Payment Policies 60% of what CMS paid was for the dialysis treatment itself and included labs ($4,788.5*) 40% of what CMS paid was for separately billed items Parenteral drugs and biologicals ($2,763.8*) Additional lab services ($333.2*) Certain supplies ($40.2*) Congress called upon CMS to develop a plan to bundle ESAs and other separately billable drugs into a single case-mix adjusted payment to dialysis facilities Changes ESAs from a profit center to a cost center for dialysis providers Encourages facilities to curtail ESA use *Total Medicare allowable payments, in millions, CMS indicates Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services; ESA, erythropoiesis-stimulating agent.
5 Major Provisions of Final Rule Base payment rate of $ Excludes adjustments (all positive except for wage index) Average adjustment 5.94% higher Per treatment unit of payment Up to 3 treatments per week (unless medically justified) May discourage more frequent home HD modalities Beneficiary/coinsurance amount is 20% of the total ESRD PPS payment after all adjustments HD indicates hemodialysis; ESRD, end-stage renal disease; PPS, prospective payment system.
6 Major Provisions of Final Rule (cont d) Patient level payment adjusters Facility level adjusters Low volume (<4000 treatments/year) Geographic wage index Inclusion of all ESRD related drugs Previously separately billable IV drugs given on dialysis and their oral equivalents Includes all antibiotics administered on dialysis for an ESRD-related indication Excludes all vaccines BSA indicates body surface area, BMI, body mass index, RRT, renal replacement therapy, ESRD, end-stage renal disease; MIPPA, Medicare Improvements for Patients and Providers Act.
7 Major Provisions of Final Rule (cont d) 2% withhold for payment for performance Can earn all or part back based on total performance score All ESRD-related lab tests are included in the bundled payment whether or not they are drawn in the dialysis facility URR indicates urea reduction ratio; MCP, monthly capitation payment.
8 Case Mix Adjusters Characteristic Adjuster Age BSA per 0.1 m 2 over BMI < Characteristic Adjuster Pericarditis in <3 months Bact. pneumonia in <3 mo GI bleed in <3 months Hereditary anemia Myelodysplastic syndrome Monoclonal gammopathy Onset of dialysis <4 months Facility <4000 treatments/yr A facility can adjust for the age and patient size characteristics and for EITHER one of the comorbidity characteristics OR the new onset of dialysis, but not BOTH
9 Facility Level Adjustments Wage index applies to the labor share of the bundle (41.7%) Decreases wage index floor from 90% to 60% Low volume adjustment <4000 treatments x 3 years No change in ownership Only applies to claims for patients >18 years old MIPPA indicates Medicare Improvements for Patients and Providers Act.
10 Self-Dialysis Training $33.38 can be added on to the ESRD PPS payment for each self-dialysis training session (increased by 50% beginning in 2014) This amount is adjusted by the geographical area wage index ESRD facilities cannot receive the self-training adjustment and the 4-month onset of dialysis payment on the same patient for the same session Self-training add-on is capped at 15 treatments for PD and 25 treatments for hemodialysis
11 Outlier Policy Outlier services limited to items previously separately billable under Medicare Parts B & D including drugs and lab tests Adult patient qualifies for additional outlier payment if adjusted cost of separately billable items exceeds donut hole of $ Excess is reimbursed at 80% CMS estimates that 5.3% of adult claims and 6.7% of pediatric claims will qualify for outlier payment MAP indicates Medicare allowable payment; ASP, average selling price.
12 ESRD QIP Value-Based Purchasing (VBP) Transition : Quantity of services provided to beneficiaries to Quality of those services delivered Advancing the National Quality Strategy and 3 part aim 6 domains (National Priorities of the NQS) Safety, Patient (Caregiver) centered care, Clinical care, Care coordination, Population health, Cost reduction Paying for quality healthcare is no longer the payment system of the future; it s the payment system of today. The ESRD QIP is the leading edge of payment reform and can serve as an example to the healthcare system.

30 Rebasing the Bundled Payment (1) The use of ESAs, which decreased by 37% between 2007, when its allowance in the bundle was calculated, to 2012 was due both to changes in the FDA labeling for ESAs in 2011 as well as cost-containment efforts at the facility level. Legislation in 2012 required Medicare to decrease (rebase) the bundled payment for dialysis in 2014 to reflect this decrease in IV drug use, which amounted to a cut of 12% or $30 per treatment.
31
32 Rebasing the Bundled Payment (2) Medicare subsequently decided to phase in this decrease in payment over several years to offset the increase in dialysis payment that would otherwise have occurred with inflation. A 3% reduction from the rebasing would offset an approximately 3% increase in the market basket that determines a facility s costs for 2014 and Legislation in March 2014 provides that the rebasing will result in a 1.25% decrease in the market basket adjustment in 2016 and 2017 and a 1% decrease in the market basket adjustment in 2018, for an aggregate rebasing of 9.5% spread over 5 years.
33 Annual Negative Adjustment to the Market Basket Increase in Dialysis Reimbursement Year Rebasing Adjustment Complete offset of market basket increase (approx. -3%) Complete offset of market basket increase (approx. -3% anticipated) % % % Total Approx. -9.5%
34 New Payment Models for ESRD CMS wants to promote coordination of care, decrease hospitalizations and ER visits, and decrease overall costs of ESRD Current silos of payment (Medicare parts A, B, and D) and of care (dialysis facilities, hospitals, extended care facilities) do not align incentives End-stage renal disease seamless care organizations (ESCOs) are one approach
35 ESCOs Partnership between dialysis facilities, nephrologists, and one other Medicare provider (hospitals, another physician group, extended care facilities) Cost savings are shared by Medicare and the ESCO s participants Savings on hospitalizations (the big ticket item) can be used by dialysis facility to fund innovation and/or offset traditionally thin margins on Medicare and Medicaid patients Incentivizes all partners to work collaboratively to improve quality and decrease costs
36 ESCOs Encourages expansion of the healthcare team to include vascular surgeons, pharmacists, home healthcare providers, skilled nursing facilities, palliative and hospice care Challenges providers to increase patient and caregiver engagement Promotes better pre-esrd care (which saves money once patient is on dialysis) Requires shared EMR
37 Summary and Conclusions The bundled payment system in effect since 2011 is likely the first step towards global capitation of ESRD patients Most dialysis providers require commercial payers to survive since Medicare patient margins are thin and Medicaid margins are negative Rebasing may eliminate the Medicare margin for some providers and foster additional consolidation in an industry in which 2 companies already have a 70% market share Shared savings in an ESCO may be the only way for small and medium-sized dialysis providers that do not have a high percentage of commercial payers to survive
