AAMC Contact: Mary Wheatley December Physician Fee Schedule Value Modifier

Medicare Physician Pay-for-Performance Established by Sec 3007 of Affordable Care Act Adjusts payments up or down Based on quality compared to cost  Outcome measures are risk-adjusted  Costs are risk adjusted and exclude geographic adjustments Budget neutral (winners and losers) Timing Starts in 2015 for “some” physicians and physician groups based on CY2013 quality and cost data 2017 for all physicians 2 What is the Value Modifier (VM)? 2

2015 VM Affects Most Large Group Practices Group with ≥ 100 EPs/TIN in 2013?* 2013 Group Reporting or Admin Claims? Excluded from 2015 VM Included in 2017 VM -1.0% Penalty in % Penalty (No Adjustment) in 2015 Upward or Downward adjustment based on Cost and Quality Performance NO YES Optional : Quality Tiering * VM excludes groups participating in Pioneer or MSSP ACOs. 3

Large groups (100 or more eligible professionals) must report quality data as a group to avoid automatic VM cut 2013: Possible +0.5% incentive for the Physician Quality Reporting System (PQRS) 2015: Avoids additional -1.5% reduction for PQRS Reporting options vary by the size of the group. For large groups, the choices are: GPRO Web Interface Registry Administrative claims (available for 2013) EHR (starting in 2014) (See appendix for more details) 4 Group Practice Reporting Option (GPRO) 4

Quality Measures PQRS reported measures (varies by reporting method) 3 claims-based outcome measures Acute prevention quality indicators composite Chronic prevention quality indicators composite All cause readmission Cost Measures Total cost per capita Per capita costs for 4 condition populations COPD Heart Failure Coronary Artery Disease Diabetes Cost measures risk-adjusted and price-standardized VM - Quality and Cost Measures 5 5 Performance reported through Quality Resource Use Report (QRUR)

Value Modifier Composite 6 Quality and cost measures roll-up into domains. Each domain is weighted equally.

Quality/CostLow CostAverage CostHigh Cost High Quality2.0x*1.0x*0.0% Average Quality1.0x*0.0%-0.5% Low Quality0.0%-0.5%-1.0% Optional Quality Tiering (2015) Maximum reduction is -1.0% for low quality and high cost Payments are budget neutral; positive adjustment (“x”) will be after performance period ends (and CMS knows the total pool of available dollars to distribute) Additional “1.0x” for high risk patients (average beneficiary score in top 25%) High risk adjustment only applies if score is: High quality/low cost High quality/average cost Average quality/low cost *Cells eligible for high risk bonus 7 7

8 Timing of the 2015 VM Cost and Quality Performance Period Large groups (excluding ACOs) nominate themselves, submit quality data or choose administrative claims data Option to elect quality tiering 2014 CMS calculates 2013 performance results Fall 2014 – Quality Resource Utilization Reports (QRUR) based on 2013 data 2015 Adjustments for VM and PQRS applied

Sign up with CMS as a group practice by October 15, 2013 Determine Quality Reporting Strategy for each TIN For 2013: submit quality data as group or sign up for administrative claims? What is long-term alignment with EHR reporting? Elect quality tiering (yes/no)? Try to understand cost and quality performance Consider implications of Physician Compare reporting Additional resources on VM and GPRO: physicianpaymentandquality.html 9 What do Practices Need to Do? 9
