7 6... and made signficant progress on our shared agenda Code an ICD9-CM diagnosis for every encounter Need a universal minimum data set to make a claim –In the first instance, data set will include little more than an ICD-9 diagnosis, in order to get electronic claims working –When electronic claims are working, jointly add clinical fields over time in order to create – in effect – an electronic health record Principles Definitions Implement- ation Action needed Status Agreed (1) Agreed Done Action needed Done Action needed Activity Action needed Defined minimum Universal claims fields (draft) Make comments on wiki until 5 June [All] Finalise claims fields by 8 June [Dr. Finn/Dr. Philipp] Develop outpatient ‚cheat sheet‘ Adapt HAAD reporting (content aligned with universal claims; secure online submission process developed) Pilot electronic claims (Daman/Al Noor under way; Daman- Al Mafraq agreed) Start claiming electronically with new claims form [Public Hospital from 1 July 2007] Shift all all existing claims forms to be fully compatible with universal claims form [All providers by end of year] (1) HAAD, DAMAN, public and selected private providers

9 8 Addressing the Claims Gap Public hospitals are filing many claims for services performed either late or not at all This means that we are paying twice: once for insurance premiums (which don’t get claimed by hospitals), and once for direct payments to hospitals If this continues, people will fundamentally lose trust in health insurance, which endangers the entire system reform agenda Public hospitals currently face two primary obstacles in claiming adequately –Claims process is complex (and not service-oriented) –Collating information for making claims is difficult These issues are particularly stark for outpatients (>10x volume, <1/10 price of inpatients). The proposition is to –radically simplify the claims process by introducing a flat fee for outpatients with electronic billing –increase clinical claims information once system is up and running Claims gap Barriers Solution

10 9 Principles Introduce a flat fee for outpatients Mandatory for all public hospitals Includes lab and diagnostics Excludes drugs Separate price for first and follow-up visits Steep discount for follow-up visit Follow-up to be robustly defined Claim needs to have an ICD-9 diagnosis Risk management Calculate price to be revenue-neutral for average outpatient claim Pilot in a public hospital Review price automatically after three months Use price level as key lever to manage overall future claims ratio Conduct overall financial sensitivity analysis

11 10 Specific proposal for outpatient flat fee Flat fee for outpatient attendance including all lab and diagnosis („x-ray“) Prices: Definition of GP, specialist and consultant: as in previous system (by license) Definition of first visit: an attendance is a first attendance if the patient has not been seen for this diagnosis within the last 90 calendar days by that provider Definition of follow-up: all non-first attendances after 7 days following the first attendance Provider specific discounts at current levels (e.g., SKMC 200%) AEDGPSpecialistConsultant First Attendance150210240 Follow-Up507080

13 12 Suggested Roadmap for DRGs Agree universal use ICD9-CM for diagnoses and procedures Restrict use of the term ‘DRG’ to true DRGs (not prices) Agree universal use of 3M-Grouper Change billing of inpatients to DRG only by 1 October 2007 –All activity from 1 Jan 2007 to be claimed as DRGs Agree use of pre-set 3M-Grouper weights Define base rate for each provider Define activity-based costing programme to revise weights and base rate –Conduct pilot programme in Tawam (Saeed Al Kuwaiti) Payment Coding
