1 How Will Hospital Readmission Penalties Impact Skilled Nursing Facilities? Patrick V. Trotta, CPA Director of ElderCare Provider Services Glass Jacobson
2 Presentation Overview Extent and causes of hospital readmissions Impact on health care delivery system Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA, ACA, Obamacare) & Hospital Readmission Reduction Program (HRRP) Impact on Hospitals Opportunities for SNFs Effective tools to demonstrate SNF capabilities
3 Extent and Causes of Hospital Readmissions
4 Extent and Causes of Hospital Readmissions High rates of hospital readmissions are being scrutinized because of quality and cost concerns. Some hospital readmissions are planned, others are avoidable. There is a wide variation in readmission rates by geographic region and hospitals. This suggests that readmission rates can be reduced. Readmissions are being targeted in order to reduce expenditures and improve quality of care.
5 Extent and Causes of Hospital Readmissions High readmission rates considered marker of lower quality care Approximately 19% of acute hospital admissions readmitted within 30 days. This percentage has remained steady over several years 13% of acute hospital readmissions are potentially preventable
6 Extent and Causes of Hospital Readmissions Hospitals have traditionally accepted readmissions as a result of perverse financial incentives Significant proportion of total reimbursement Financial burden for reducing readmissions Financial incentive to reduce readmissions Section 3590 PPACA
7 Impact on Health Care Delivery System
8 Impact on Health Care Delivery System CMS recently began reporting readmission rates Hospital Compare Website
9 Impact on Health Care Delivery One in five, or nearly System 2 million Medicare beneficiaries are readmitted within 30 days of release each year, costing Medicare $17.5 billion in additional hospital bills. Condition at Hospital Discharge 30 day Rehospitalization Rate Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI) 19.8 Heart Failure 24.8 Pneumonia 18.4 Hospital Compare. Hospital Compare National Readmissions Rate. U.S. Department of Health & Human Service.
10 Affordable Care Act (ACA) and Hospital Readmission Reduction Program (HRRP)
11 HRRP ACA created the HRRP, which will reduce Medicare payment rates for hospitals with higher than expected readmission rates for specific conditions HRRP begins October 1, 2012 Reductions to hospital payments will be determined by an adjustment factor based on a calculated assessment of excess readmissions, with a maximum payment reduction of: 1% in % in % i 201 d b d
12 HRRP For each hospital, an excess readmissions ratio is calculated based on measures of readmissions currently used in the hospital inpatient quality reporting (IQR) program. CMS has been calculating hospital readmission rates for hospital quality reporting. The HRRP ties PAYMENTS to performance on the measures.
13 Initial 2013 Conditions and 2015 Expansion The readmissions penalty initially applies to three conditions. In 2015, CMS will expand the program to include an additional four conditions Conditions Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI) Heart Failure Pneumonia These three conditions are approximately 10 percent of hospital discharges Expansion Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Percutaneous Transluminal Coronary Angioplasty Other Vascular Conditions
14 What Constitutes a Readmission? Any time a patient is readmitted to a hospital within a 30 day period from the initial hospitalization discharge Readmission does not have to be to the same hospital More than one hospital readmission during a 30 day period counts as only one readmission
15 What Constitutes a Readmission? Skilled Nursing Facilities have no penalties if patients are discharged and readmitted to the SNF within any period of time SNFs have no penalty if a patient is readmitted to a hospital
16 Excess Readmissions Ratio The CMS Readmissions Ratio estimates the amount by which a specific hospital increases or decreases patients risk of readmission relative to the average hospital. It is based on the specific hospital s actual admission rates relative to hospitals with similar patients. Excess Readmissions Ratio: Actual Adjusted Readmissions Expected Readmissions
17 Excess Readmissions Ratio The Excess Readmissions Ratio is risk adjusted. It is possible for a hospital to have a high readmissions rate (number of readmissions for the number of index admissions with that condition), but a favorable excess readmissions ratio. The Excess Readmissions Ratio is a major component in calculating the hospital s penalty.
18 Calculation of Excess Readmissions Penalty Quality Hospital Excess readmissions ratio: 1.05 Average DRG payment for HF: $6,000 Total HF admissions: 150 Total payments for all discharges: $6 million Sample Calculation for Heart Failure (HF) Total payments for excess readmissions: $6,000*150*(1.05 1)=$45,000 Excess readmissions payments ratio: 1 ($45,000/$6,000,000)= Since is higher than the 0.99 floor for 2013, the adjustment factor would be The hospital s Medicare base DRG payment would be reduced by 0.25 percent in FY 2013
19 Application of the Reduction Only the base DRG of a payment is considered when applying the readmissions penalty. Payment modifiers (outlier payments, indirect medical education (IME), disproportionate share hospital (DSH) and low volume) are exempted. IME and DSH payments are calculated off of a base payment. Accordingly, these amounts will be lower if the hospitals base payment is reduced.
20 Application of the Reduction Payments received by sole community hospitals, Medicare dependent hospitals and small rural hospitals are exempt from the readmissions penalty. Excludes children s hospitals, certain cancer and research centers, and hospitals that provide primarily long-term, rehabilitative or psychiatric care Hospitals with excessive readmission rates will have their Medicare payments reduced by up to 1% in 2013 and up to 3% by 2015

22 Medicare Readmissions Penalties As reported by Kaiser Health News For a full list of all hospitals and their readmissions penalties:
23 Impact on Hospitals
24 Impact on Hospitals Reduced Medicare payments Increased focus on transitions between care settings and care provided after hospital discharge Hospitals will become increasingly focused on patient care after discharge to ensure that patients do not require readmission. Emphasis on coordination of care. Hospitals will be increasingly interested in partnering with Post-acute Care Providers to improve care. Need for infrastructure to manage and reduce readmissions Hospitals will need to manage readmissions and avoid payment penalties
25 Opportunities for SNFs
26 Opportunities for SNFs Hospital systems becoming insurers 20% of hospital networks market an insurance product Hospital systems entering full risk contracts with Medicare and Medicaid Bundled payments
27 Opportunities for SNFs Hospital discharges to post-acute care settings Approximately 40% of hospital discharges for heart attacks, heart failure and pneumonia patients go to post-acute care settings (SNF, HHA, IRF, LTACH) Of this 40%, at least half go to SNFs
28 Opportunities for SNFs Increased admissions and occupancy Increased revenue Public and industry perception of being a quality provider Collaboration with hospital referral sources to coordinate care
29 Effective Tools to Demonstrate SNF Capabilities
30 Effective Tools to Demonstrate SNF Capabilities Data, data, data Track ALL admissions from short term acute care hospitals (STACHs) Initially, focus on AMI, heart failure, pneumonia Secondarily, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), Coronary Artery Bypass Graft, Percutaneous Coronary Interventions, other vascular procedures and conditions
31 Effective Tools to Demonstrate SNF Capabilities Measurement Readmission rates and causes By discharge diagnosis (e.g. Heart Failure, etc.) Social history Program design Targets reduction of hospital readmissions Document program results
32 Effective Tools to Demonstrate SNF Capabilities Communication Staff Referral sources Rates Program results Coordination Referral sources Other post-acute providers Family and caregivers
