Where Innovation Is Tradition
Health Reform:
Where is the Commonwealth
NOW?
Len M. Nichols, Ph.D.
Center for Health Policy Research and Ethics
The First Northern Virginia Health Summit
Springfield, VA
May 31, 2013
Review reform climate
• Virginia voted for Obama, twice
(and Sens. Webb and Kaine, respectively)
• McDonnell elected Governor in 2009, Rs
gained Senate split 20-20 after 2011 elections
• AG Cuccinelli first to file suit against ACA
• 26 person VHRI appointed by Gov, led by Sec.
Hazel, recommended, in December 2010:
State-run exchange
Prepare for Medicaid expansion, delivery reform
11
Where Innovation Is Tradition
Post-Supreme Court decision on ACA
• Created opportunity to oppose Obamacare in
the name of fiscal prudence for state
• Argument undercut by 3 facts:
Feds would pay 100% of expansion population
costs for 3 years, 90% thereafter
State would save money for 5-6 years, low cost
thereafter compared to economic benefit to state
Chamber of Commerce of VA came to support
Medicaid expansion
12
Where Innovation Is Tradition
De Facto Partnership on Exchange
• McDonnell decided, after SCOTUS, to NOT
apply for establishment grant for exchange
• Governor also did not want to use the word
“partnership” in deal with Feds
• Feds have signaled willingness to let Virginia
BOI do “plan management,” one key function
of partnership exchanges
13
Where Innovation Is Tradition
Medicaid possibilities
• Created by Senate split and Gov.’s desire for
transportation signature achievement
• Budget created Medicaid Innovation and Reform
Commission (MIRC)
• MIRC has 12 members, 3/5 from each house
must vote YES to judgment that:
ADEQUATE Medicaid reform progress is being
made to justify expansion in July of 2014
14
Where Innovation Is Tradition
Delegate Appointees to MIRC
• Steve Landes-R (Albemarle, Augusta,
Rockingham)
• Jimmie Massie-R (Henrico)
• John O’Bannon-R (Henrico, city of Richmond)
• Beverly Sherwood-R (Frederick, Warren, city of
Winchester)
• Johnny Joannou-D (cities of Chesepeake,
Norfolk, Portsmouth, Suffolk)
15
Where Innovation Is Tradition
Senate Appointees to MIRC
• Walter Stosch-R (Henrico, city of Richmond
• Emmet Hanger-R (Augusta, Greene, Madison,
Rockingham, cities of Staunton and Waynesboro)
• John Watkins-R (Powhatan, Chesterfield, city of
Richmond)
• Janet Howell-D (Fairfax, Arlington)
• Louise Lucas-D (Portsmouth).
16
Where Innovation Is Tradition
Medicaid Reforms DMAS is pursuing
• Statewide managed care, including for ABD and
foster children
• PACE expansion
• Enhanced program integrity
• Assessment requirements for CBHS
• Dual eligibles financial alignment demonstration
17
Where Innovation Is Tradition
Medicaid reforms DMAS is planning
• Comprehensive 1115 waiver to allow more
coordination, streamline with private insurance
features emerging in state employee, FAMIS,
exchange, etc.
• Use payment reform to leverage tight, high
quality networks
• Coordinate purchasing/delivery reforms in
public-private partnership
18
Virginia Health Innovation Center
• Created in 2012 on 2010 recommendation of
Virginia Health Reform Initiative Advisory
Council
• 501c3, housed at state Chamber of Commerce
• Seed money from stakeholder associations
• Surveyed providers, found 400 “examples,” now
has 6 task forces creating proposals for CMMI
PCMH, integrating behavioral and acute, medication
management, care transitions, consumer engagement,
bundles for babies
19
Where Innovation Is Tradition
Summary
• Medicaid expansion depends on 2013 elections
• Delivery reforms and some coverage expansion
through federal exchange will proceed
• Can collaboration replace individualism in
time?

each other’s mission.
 Allow sufficient time for partnership to develop
and scale up gradually.

strategy of the partnership.
 Partnership building is work, but rewarding!
