AGING IMPACT ON MEDICARE WHAT IS AN ACO? Medicare spending is estimated to have grown 6.3% in 2011 and PROJECTED TO GROW AN AVERAGE OF 6.1% PER YEAR over the projection period from 2011 2021 Per person, personal health care spending for the 65 and older population was $14,797 in 2004, 5.6 times higher than spending per child ($2,650) and 3.3 times spending per workingage person ($4,511). GIVEN HISTORICAL DATA AND PROJECTED GROWTH: http://www.cms.gov/research-statistics-data-and-systems/statistics-trends-and-reports/nationalhealthexpenddata/nhe-fact-sheet.html HOW DO WE KEEP MEDICARE SOLVENT? Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs) are groups of doctors, hospitals, and other health care providers, WHO COME TOGETHER VOLUNTARILY TO GIVE COORDINATED HIGH QUALITY CARE to their patients. The goal of coordinated care is to ensure that patients, especially the chronically ill, get THE RIGHT CARE AT THE RIGHT TIME, while avoiding unnecessary duplication of services and preventing medical errors. When an ACO succeeds both in both delivering high-quality care and spending health care http://www.cms.gov/medicare/medicare-fee-for-service-payment/aco/index.html?redirect=/aco/ dollars more wisely, it will share in the WHAT IS AN ACO? Types Medicare Shared Savings Program Advance Payment ACO Model Pioneer ACO Model http://youtu.be/mzaa1qroqau http://www.cms.gov/medicare/medicare-fee-for-service-payment/aco/index.html?redirect=/aco/ Medicare Shared Savings Program The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has established a Medicare Shared Savings Program (Shared Savings Program) to facilitate coordination and cooperation among providers to improve the quality of care for Medicare Fee-For-Service (FFS) beneficiaries and reduce unnecessary costs. Eligible providers, hospitals, and suppliers may participate in the Shared Savings Program by creating or participating in an Accountable Care Organization (ACO). Advance Payment ACO Model The Advance Payment Model is designed for physician-based and rural providers who have come together voluntarily to give coordinated high quality care to the Medicare patients they serve. Through the Advance Payment ACO Model, selected participants will receive upfront and monthly payments, which they can use to make important investments in their care coordination infrastructure. http://www.cms.gov/medicare/medicare-fee-for-service-payment/sharedsavingsprogram/index.html?redirect=/sharedsavingsprogram/ http://innovation.cms.gov/initiatives/advance-payment-aco-model/ 2
Pioneer ACO Model Designed for health care organizations and providers that are already experienced in coordinating care for patients across care settings. It will allow these provider groups to move more rapidly from a shared savings payment model to a population-based payment model on a track consistent with, but separate from, the Medicare Shared Services Program. It is designed to work in coordination with private payers by aligning provider incentives, which will improve quality and health outcomes for patients across the ACO, and achieve cost savings for Medicare, employers and patients. http://innovation.cms.gov/initiatives/pioneer-aco-model/ http://kff.org/report-section/a-primer-on-medicare-what-is-medicares-role-in-delivery-system-reform/ COMMERCIAL Anthem Cigna Others MEDICARE ADVANTAGE PLANS Anthem, Humana, United Healthcare, Advantage Health Solutions, etc http://www.hhs.gov/budget/fy2015-hhs-budget-in-brief/hhs-fy2015budget-in-brief-cms-medicare.html Think about the integration of care across the continuum Patient / Caregiver Experience Getting Timely Care, Appointments, and Information How Well Your Providers Communicate Patients Rating of Provider Access to Specialists Health Promotion and Education Shared Decision Making Health Status/Functional Status http://www.aurorahealthcare.org/aboutus/continuum/art/continuumchart.gif 3
