Star Ratings (handout available) 2017 Industry Updates Star Ratings (handout available) Why its important now and going forward? Primary objective of helping consumers choose and compare nursing homes Based on 3 categories – state health inspections, staffing ratios and quality measures. State health inspections are weighted the highest out of the three categories. Based on a distribution of 20% 1-star, 70% 2, 3 and 4 star and only 10% 5-star. Staffing ratio is based on self-reporting nursing hours. One industry argument is that this does not promote technologies and other innovations from reducing staffing, specifically nursing hours. Quality category is also self-reported based on 11 measures. There has been lots of talks about tying reimbursement to the star rating or portions of the star rating. The industry is opposed to this since there are continual changes to the system, portions of the system are based on self-reporting data and state surveys are not all the same.

2017 Industry Updates - Reimbursements UPL/IGT Bundled Payments and ACOs Managed Care VBP RCS-1 Approved in 2009 Indiana IGT - as of 2016 there were 469 NH in the program which represents 95% of the Medicaid facilities Historically, the agreement for the increased matching funds, the SNF would get 50% for participating with the hospital. More recently operators have renegotiated to splits close to 65%. Additionally, facilities that are not part of the program are likely to get 65% or higher. General rule for valuation is 20 to 30% cap rate. Managed care – increased significantly – Its about a $100 less a day compared to Medicare fee for service rate and the length of stay is about half. There has been studies done that indicate there is not a strong correlation between length of stay and outcome. Valuation and Information Group | September 28, 2017
