2 2 Key MA payment principles Capitation Risk adjustment Competitive bidding

3 3 Why is there a problem? Aftermath of BBA97 Regional politics Flawed bidding system Incomplete competition

4 4 Current rhetoric focuses on “pay-fors” Willie Sutton was right— Go where the money is!

5 5 Broader policy objectives Better value—from FFS and MA Innovation in health care delivery More sensible benefit structures Fiscal restraint Options for consumers

6 6 Treat the cause, not the symptoms Take a lesson from Part D  Plans bid against each other, not against benchmarks Transition to full competition  Remember “comparative cost adjustment”?  FFS and MA should be on an equal footing on all dimensions, not only payment  Hold FFS and MA accountable for improving care delivery  Requires major FFS reform
