WHAT’S COMINGTRIPLE AIM GOAL
WHAT’S COMING
“The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) is committed to achieving the three-part aim of better care for individuals, better health for populations, and reduced expenditures for Medicare, Medicaid, and Children’s Health Insurance Program beneficiaries. One potential mechanism for achieving this goal is for CMS to partner with groups of healthcare providers in an Accountable Care Organization (ACO) who accept joint responsibility for the cost and quality of care outcomes for a specified group of patients. CMS will pursue such partnerships through two complementary efforts- The Medicare Shared Savings Program and initiatives undertaken by the Center for Medicare & Medicaid Innovation (CMMI, Innovation Center) within CMS.”

• Fee for Service (FFS): Providers are reimbursed for each service performed at pre-negotiated rates or the provider’s billable charges.
• Pay for Performance (P4P): Providers are paid when they meet defined criteria involving quality, efficiency, and other targets related to patient outcomes.
• Accountable Care Organization (ACO): A system comprised of doctors, practices, hospitals and other healthcare providers that create partnerships with the goal of lowering patient costs and focusing on the quality of care delivered.
• Patient Centered Medical Home (PCMH): A delivery model with a population health management focus that uses coordinated care programs, integrated care delivery systems and medical teams led by a primary care physician.

• Bundled (Episode-based) Payment: Providers are paid a single price for all of the healthcare services needed by patients for an entire episode of care with the amount largely determined by the length of time of the episode and the range of providers and services included.
• Value-based Payment Modifier: Beginning in 2015, HHS will implement a modifier to adjust Medicare Part B payments to certain physicians based on quality and cost of care delivered. All providers will be impacted by the modifier by 2017.
• Global Payment: Providers accept a fixed payment per patient similar to capitation payments.

“According to [MGMA 2011 Survey], total operating cost per full-time equivalent physician has increased by 51% since
2001, while Medicare physician payments have remained relatively stagnant during
that same time period, with a sharp decrease forecasted in 2012. This
widening gap is becoming insurmountable for many physician practices”

• Upside Risks• Professional services included in the episode will be processed
as “no pay’ claims.• The participating providers must accept a single bundled
payment for each episode of care as payment in full• Shared Savings: 60-70% capped at 15% of PMPM savings
• Downside Risks (if any)• Minimum discount to payer e.g. CMS: 3% or more depending on
condition proposed• If spending exceeds the risk threshold, providers must pay CMS
for the excess
