- 7. American Health Care TheAmerican way of health care is both reviled and praised, sometimes by the same people. It is expensive, but it is innovative. It is unequal , but it provides some of the best care in the world. Its cost is growing far too fast for individuals and businesses, but we want even more of it. There are intense debates concerning many areas of health care – scientific issues in medical practice, prescription drugs, and emergency room use, to name a few – and underlying most of this conflict is the unusual way we pay for health care in the United States. Our approach results in our spending much more than other industrialized countries for, statistically speaking, no better results. Richard C. Leone, President The Century Foundation

- 9. Healthcare Costs are “Unsustainable” Thesize of the federal budget deficit is unsustainable. The annual increase in the Medicare budget is unsustainable. The percentage of healthcare spending to GDP is unsustainable. State Medicaid programs are unsustainable. The continued transfer of costs to employers and consumers is unsustainable.

- 14. Questions: • Why doesmedical care cost so much? • Why are there so many uninsured Americans & Texans? • Why are medical premiums going up by 5-7% a year? • Will we need to ration health care? • Why can’t we do a better job of preventive medicine? • Why are there predictions that Medicare will go broke?

- 17. Q: Is ItReally That Bad? A: Yes! • Total health care costs = ~ 3 Trillion Dollars • US ranks 17th internationally in health care outcomes but 1st in cost per citizen • 38 million uninsured Americans • 22% of Texans are uninsured - We’re #1 • Looming shortage of primary care physicians • 6 billion in uncompensated care (Texas Hospitals)
- 18. Is It ReallyThat Bad (cont’d) • 78 million baby boomers (1946-1964) • 65% of Americans are overweight. • Medicare funding will go negative in the next decade. • Health care costs are the 2nd leading cause of personal bankruptcy.
- 20. Cost of HealthCare Per Individual 1997 2008 2015 $3,700 $7,500 $8,700
- 21. We Have anUnsustainable Situation • Americans have an expectation that health care is a right. • If care isn’t funded then our safety net system picks up the slack. • Government funded health care represents more than 50% of all health care dollars. • Medicare alone is projected to create a 60 trillion national debt by 2050.
- 22. What Drives theIncreases in Cost? • Lifestyle choices - BAD • Improved technology - GOOD Imaging Pharmaceuticals Implants • Aging of America - GOOD Baby boomers Geriatric population (Men – 77, Women 81) • Retail features in a third party payer system - BAD Direct to consumer advertising • Bureaucracy, paperwork and regulatory complexity – VERY BAD • Medical liability system – VERY, VERY BAD • Lagging information technology - BAD • Payment for piecework BUT not for good outcomes. - BAD
- 23. ACA (OBAMACARE) Patient Protection& Affordable Care Act • Law signed in 2010 – phasing in through 2020 • More than half of the States have sued to declare portions of the law unconstitutional. • The House of Delegates voted repeatedly to repeal the act. • Senator Orrin Hatch introduced legislation to repeal the individual and employer mandate in the Senate. • Judge Roger Vinson (Florida) ruled against the ACA and added that the lack of a severability clause required him to declare, “The whole act void”. Reversed by the Supreme Court. • King vs. Burwell currently in the Supreme Court.
- 24. ACA is “Really”Three Bills (and probably more…) • Health Insurance Reform • Extension of coverage to larger percentage of the U. S. population. • Creative payment reform and encouragement for improved quality (pay for value) via Medicare and Medicaid payment mechanisms.
- 25. Health Insurance Reform •Elimination of lifetime limits • 85% floor on health plan loss ratios • Extension of family coverage to adult children • Elimination of pre-existing condition coverage exclusions • Preventive medicine benefit mandates • Etc.
- 26. Extension of CoverageTo More Citizens • Expansion of Medicaid • Individual mandates • Employer mandates - delayed • Establish health insurance exchanges • Sliding scale premium subsidies for individuals and small businesses. Estimated: 11 million newly covered Americans
- 27. Creative Payment Reform (encouragedby Medicare and Medicaid) • Accountable Care Organizations (ACO) • Bundled payments • “Innovation Center” experiments • Improve information systems and health care data gathering/analytics in the health care industry. • Congress just reinforced these concepts with SGR bill language this month (April, 2015).
- 28. Diabetes Management Pilot Initialprogram results have been excellent. If Texas implemented a similar diabetes program with similar outcomes, Texas Medicaid could save $155 million/year. 75% 33% Decrease in Inpatient Care Decrease in Emergency Care $2.85 benefit for every $1.00 spent Redefining Value: Better Outcomes at Lower Cost
- 29. • 1% ofthe population accounts for more than 25% of health costs. • 10% of the population account for 70% of health care expenditures. • 95% of Medicare costs are spent on patients with two or more chronic illnesses. • 78% of national health care expenditures can be attributed to chronic illness. On order of $2 trillion. Follow the Money

- 31. Geisinger Health SystemMedical Home Preliminary data show a 20% reduction in hospital admissions and a 7% savings in total medical costs. Group Health of Pugent Sound Medical Home Pilot By End of Year Two, total savings $10.30 pmpm • Outpatient Primary Care up $1.68 pmpm • Outpatient Specialty Care up $5.78 pmpm • ER utilization down $4.02 pmpm • Inpatient utilization down $14.18 pmpm • Improved HEDIS measures • Higher patient and provider satisfaction Medical Home Successes
- 32. • Improve preventivecare & wellness measures. • Improve management of chronic conditions. • Provide optimal service & access to ensure patient satisfaction. • Reduce cost trend. • Demonstrate provider commitment as an organized system of care to be accountable for the individual patient’s welfare and the health of the entire program population. Goals of ACOs
- 33. Whole population, Well-managed with chronicconditions Chronic conditions needing attention Catastrophic Cases Complex Patients and Frequent Utilizers Types of Patients We Expect to See
- 34. The 4 PatientGroups • Whole population: preventive screenings. • Chronic disease: asthma, diabetics, CAD. • Catastrophic: transplants, cancers, strokes, etc. • High utilizers: frequent ER visits, seeing multiple specialists, poly pharmacy, behavioral, financial and/or social issues, etc.
- 35. • Increased informaticsand prompting at point of care • Patient Outreach unit to focus on care gaps for healthy patients and controlled chronic disease patients • Extensivist team for complex, high-utilizing patients High Level Strategy
- 36. Summary • The costof medical care in the U.S. is concentrated in a small subset of the population. • Data analytics can identify many (not all) of the population at risk. • The current FFS reimbursement methodology does not reward prospective identification of this population or care coordination. • Large, integrated delivery systems have the ability to identify and direct resources to better manage the high risk population. • You get what you pay for!
- 38. The Health IndustryForum Last month Secretary Sylvia Matthews Burrell announced that HHS has adopted a goal of shifting half of Medicare payments from traditional fee-for-service to an alternative method by 2018. Despite many new Affordable Care Act initiatives, progress on payment reform around the country has been spotty. Most of the new payment initiatives provide financial incentives for quality or reward provider groups that control total spending below a budget target. But most of these programs place little financial risk on providers. It is not known whether these limited financial incentives are strong enough to drive meaningful delivery reforms nor is it know whether they will evolve into stronger arrangements.
