ACOs:A Rerun of the HMO Experience?
![Page 57: The Uninsured](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070503/56815612550346895dc3d1bf/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
Why the ACO/HMO Concept Resonates
• Lots of redundant high tech facilities and useless, even harmful interventions
• Neglect of primary care, public health, prevention, mental health
• Lack of teamwork• Quality problems that need system solutions• Inadequate public accountability
![Page 58: The Uninsured](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070503/56815612550346895dc3d1bf/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
HMO-ACO Logic• FFS is the problem; capitation (shifting
insurance risk) the solution.
• But . . . small clinics and hospitals can’t bear risk, so consolidation is necessary.
• Shifting risk creates incentive to deny care, so report cards and risk adjustment are necessary.

Up-coding: the Achilles Heel of Risk Adjustment, and hence
ACO’s (and P4P) • By maximizing the number of coded
diagnoses and comorbidities, hospitals, doctors and HMOs/ACOs can make their outcomes look better, and (when payment is risk adjusted) make more $$

Medicare’s Attempt to Improve Risk-Adjustment of HMO Payment
• Pre-2004 - HMOs were “cherry-picking” when payment adjusted only for age, sex, location, employment status, disability, institutionalization, Medicaid eligibility
• 2004 – Risk adjustment formula added 70 diagnoses

Risk Adjustment Increased Medicare HMO Over-Payments$30 billion Wasted Annually
“We show that . . . risk-adjustment . . . . can actually increase differential payments relative to pre-risk-adjustment levels and thus . . . raise the total cost to the government. . . . The differential payments . . . totaled $30 billion in 2006, or nearly 8 percent of total Medicare spending. . . . recalibration [of the risk adjustment formula] will likely exacerbate mispricing.”

Failure of Medicare HMO Risk Adjustment: Implications for ACOs
• More risk adjustment leads to MORE, not less cherry picking – ie. Selecting healthier patients within each risk stratum
• Intensive coding makes patients appear sicker on paper, ups risk-adjusted capitation fee and factitiously raises quality scores
• ACOs that fail to cherry pick or intensify coding will get low payments, and factitiously poor quality scores
• Implications: No net savings, probable increased costs Resources transferred from sick to healthy Biggest cheaters are biggest winners, undermines ethical behavior ACOs that embrace problem patients driven from the market

Prospect of ACOs is AlreadyCausing Consolidation
“When Congress passed the health care law, it envisioned doctors and hospitals joining forces, coordinating care and holding down costs…. Now, eight months into the new law there is a growing frenzy of mergers involving hospitals, clinics and doctor groups....If ACOs end up stifling rather than unleashing competition,’ said Jon Leibowitz, the chairman of the [FTC], ‘we will have let one of the great opportunities for health care reform slip away.’”New York Times, November 21, 2010, A1.

Medicare’s PGP/ACO Demo. Project : Gaming, But No Savings
“The model for the ACO program . . . has been tested in the PGP Demonstration Project . . . diagnosis coding changes the PGP sites initiated . . . produced apparent savings that resulted in shared savings payments to some of the demonstration sites, but not actually fewer dollars spent”Berenson RA.

Prevention Saves Lives,But Not Money
“Although some preventive services do save money, the vast majority reviewed in the health economics literature do not.”
Cohen JT et al., New England Journal of Medicine 2008;358:661-663.
“It’s a nice thing to think, and it seems like it should be true, but I don’t know of any evidence that preventive care actually saves money.”
Gruber J,quoted in “Free lunch on health? Think again,” NY Times, August 8, 2007: C 2.

Medical Homes and Enhanced Primary Care Don’t Require ACOs
• “Medical Homes” that integrate more nurses, social workers etc. into primary care and cut physicians’ panel size may improve care and reduce ED and inpatient utilization, possibly enough to offset the additional personnel costs
• But this intervention does not require recycling the HMO experiment.

Assumptions Implicit in P-4-P1. Performance can be accurately ascertained2. Individual variation is caused by variation in
motivation3. Financial incentives will add to intrinsic
motivation 4. Current payment system is too simple5. Hospitals/MDs delivering poor quality care
should get fewer resources

Assumptions Implicit in P-4-P
1. Performance can be accurately ascertained - i.e. that the variance attributable to an individual doctor can be clearly identified (as opposed to her patients and the circumstances surrounding the work), and will cannot be gamed.

Assumptions Implicit in P-4-P
2. Individual variation is caused by variation in motivation - i.e. that poor performance is a matter of intention, and that change in motivation is therefore likely to improve performance. If poor performance is not “willed” then incentives can’t change it.
![Page 100: The Uninsured](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070503/56815612550346895dc3d1bf/html5/thumbnails/100.jpg)
Assumptions Implicit in P-4-P
3. Financial incentives will add to intrinsic motivation. If financial incentives undermine intrinsic motivation they may actually worsen performance.

Pay for Performance“I do not think its true that the way to get better doctoring and better nursing is to put money on the table in front of doctors and nurses. I think that's a fundamental misunderstanding of human motivation. I think people respond to joy and work and love and achievement and learning and appreciation and gratitude - and a sense of a job well done. I think that it feels good to be a doctor and better to be a better doctor. When we begin to attach dollar amounts to throughputs and to individual pay we are playing with fire. The first and most important effect of that may be to begin to dissociate people from their work.”

“In April [2010], AstraZeneca became the fourth major drug company in three years to settle a government investigation with a hefty payment -- in its case, $520 million for what federal officials described as an array of illegal promotions of antipsychotics for children, the elderly, veterans and prisoners. Still, the payment amounted to just 2.4 percent of the $21.6 billion AstraZeneca made on Seroquel sales from 1997 to 2009.”

Phony

• Savings = Less care
Real

• Coverage = First $, Comprehensive
• Security = For everyone, forever
• Savings >$400 bil on bureaucracy
