1115 Demonstration Waiver Extension Summary Health and Human Services Commission January 11, 2018

1115 Extension Overview Budget Neutrality (handout) Uncompensated Care pool funding Delivery System Reform Incentive Payments (DSRIP) pool funding

Uncompensated Care Pool & Payments Payment Protocol & Rules development timeline Draft UC protocol is due to CMS by March 30, 2018. Approval expected in 90 days. Draft Texas Administrative Code rule on UC payments to be published by July 31, 2018. Revised draft UC applications to CMS by May 1, 2019. Approval required by August 31, 2019. Revised UC protocol to be implemented by October 1, 2019. Final Texas Administrative Code rule on UC payments to be published by January 30, 2019, and effective by September 30, 2019. Failure to meet any of these deadlines will result in a 20% reduction in expenditure authority from the UC pool for the program year. The reductions are cumulative.

Uncompensated Care Pool & Payments Allowable costs and payments (S-10) Beginning in DY 9, UC pool payments will be based on charity costs incurred by qualifying providers and must exclude amounts for Medicaid shortfall as CMS prefers that reimbursement rates be adequate to cover Medicaid costs. Providers receiving both DSH and UC payments cannot be paid more than total eligible uncompensated costs. The UC payment protocol must include precise definitions of eligible uncompensated provider charity care costs for each qualifying provider type.

Uncompensated Care Pool & Payments Pool Sizing (Demonstration Years 9-11) The UC pool size may temporarily default to a reduced amount of $2.3 billion for DY 9 - 11 until all charity costs are accurately reported. The pool will ultimately be reconciled to reflect the final charity care data and may be more or less than $2.3 billion depending on the data. Charity care costs will be determined by information in Worksheet S-10 of the Medicare hospital cost report (Form CMS-2552-10). For hospitals not required to complete the S-10, which are primarily children’s, cancer, and rehabilitation hospitals, and Institutions of Mental Disease and for non-hospital qualifying providers, an alternate methodology using CMS-approved cost reports will be used to determine charity costs.

Cost-Based Payment Requirement “The methodology used by the state to determine UC payments will ensure that payments to hospitals, clinics, and other providers are distributed based on uncompensated cost, without any relationship to source of non-federal share as specified in Attachment H.” STC 33

Cost-Based Payment Requirement Example of CMS-approved approach used in Florida: Hospitals may be divided into tiered subgroups based on ownership, UC ratio, or ownership and UC ratio Ownership categories include local government, state government, and private and may be further grouped by the hospital’s publically owned, statutory teaching, and freestanding children’s hospital status All hospitals within the same subgroup that are eligible for a UC payment must receive the same percentage of their charity care cost. https://www.medicaid.gov/Medicaid-CHIP-Program-Information/By- Topics/Waivers/1115/downloads/fl/fl-medicaid-reform-ca.pdf

Other Issues Definition of Charity Care Non-Hospital qualifying providers Methodology to comply with the STC 33 requirement that payments be distributed without any relationship to the source of the non-federal share.

Tentative Timeline January 16 – February 1: Conference Call/Meeting with provider groups February 2: Begin drafting initial protocol February 12: Share draft with stakeholders February 14 – March 21: Review and revise draft March 30: Draft submitted to CMS

Waiver Renewal - DSRIP CMS approved four additional years for the Texas DSRIP program. Two years of level funding, followed by two years of funding that will decrease each year. The fifth year of the waiver extension does not include any funding for DSRIP. CMS is still negotiating with HHSC on the DSRIP implementation protocols Attachment J – Program Funding and Mechanics Protocol (PFM) Attachment R – Measure Bundle Protocol (MBP)

CMS Requirements for DSRIP Strengthen the measurement set Define and incorporate an attribution model Proportional distribution of Category C Accountable performance measurement and payment methodology for providers with high baselines Link Core Activities to selected Measure Bundles and Category C

Sustainability/Transition Plan Texas will be required to submit a transition plan outlining how it will further develop its delivery system reforms without DSRIP funding and/or phase out DSRIP-funded activities and meet mutually agreeable milestones to demonstrate ongoing progress. Required by the Special Terms and Conditions Draft due by October 31, 2019 Milestones may relate to the use of alternative payment models, the state’s adoption of managed care payment models that support providers’ delivery system reform efforts, and other opportunities.
