Outline NY Background What are we trying to fix? – Why didn’t managed care fix it? Medical Home Standards and Payments – Wide vs Deep – Going it alone and/or playing in the sandbox Trust and anti-trust Challenges and Opportunities 2

Background: Medicaid 5 million members - $47 billion Most in managed care plans (1115 waiver since 1997) but complex and expensive populations remain in FFS – 20 health plans – Carve outs (pharmacy, SA, MH for some) SCHIP (Child Health Plus) separate program but delivered through health plans Medicaid and public and private plans regulated through same organization in state health department 3

What are we trying to fix? Rightsizing balance of inpatient and outpatient care expenditures Excess of preventable admissions (and readmissions) Years of quality reporting…good, getting better, but good enough? Institutional care settings Primary care standards and the chronic care model – time to raise the bar Disparities 5

Inpatient Spending Per Enrollee Significantly Exceeds National Averages; Spending on Ambulatory Care Has Lagged Source: CMS, 2008 Statistical Supplement Table

The Executive Budget of : Medicaid Enabling legislation: Authorized the Department to implement a Statewide initiative to incentivize the development of PCMHs to improve health outcomes through better coordination and integration of patient care – No savings assumed – primary care ‘investments’ from savings achieved in (overdue) inpatient payment reductions – ~ $66 million growing to $140 million in year 3 Medical home standards are the National Committee for Quality Assurance’s (NCQA) Physician Practice Connections® -Patient Centered Medical Home™ (PPC®- PCMH™) Recognition Program Program implementation- July 1, 2010; Hospital OPD participation still pending CMS approval 10

Medicaid Reimbursement For PPC®-PCMH™ Medicaid providers receive a payment commensurate with their level of NCQA PCMH designation (Level I- $2 pmpm, II - $4pmpm, or III- $6pmpm) – ‘Enhanced’ payment of qualifying claims (primary care E&M code) for FFS – PMPM from health plans for MMC State adds to premium and directs payments to recognized providers for common amounts Level I incentive ends 2013 Evaluation P4P? 11

Regional Multi-payer Demonstration Enabling 2009 legislation (including anti-trust) and budget (Medicaid) – $3-4 million Rural upstate NY 35 practices (including multi-site FQHC), 5 hospitals, over 130 providers – Around 100k patients 8 payers, including Medicaid and State Employee Plan NCQA level 2 or 3 in first year….‘plus’ $7pmpm Medicare application/invitation (MAPCP) 12

Challenges/Opportunities Multi-payer most promising, and most difficult Alignment with HITEC ACA – More business, more imperative – ‘health homes’? Beyond the home to the ‘hood’ Journey, not destination Sustainability – Interest – Resources – Primary care pipeline 13
