8. Why Start Now? – The Incentive Structure
• Incentive formula = ($2 Million + Discharge Payment) x Medicare Share x Payout
PercentagePercentage
• Discharge Payment = (# of Discharges less than 23,000 – 1149) x 200
• Medicare Share = (# Part A and C inpatient days / (total inpatient days x % of
h i h )noncharity charges)
• Medicare Incentives will be paid out for four years or through Reporting Year 2016,
whichever is earlier. Payouts will also grow smaller over the four‐year span. So:
For Implementations in 2011‐2013, four‐year payout percentages are 100%,
75%, 50%, 25%
2014 Implementations will pay out for three years starting at 75%p p y y g
2015 Implementations will pay out for two years starting at 50%
Post – 2015 Implementations get NO Payout

9. The Incentives Structure ‐ Example
For a hospital with:
• 2,000 total discharges a year,
• 7 000 Medicare A and C Inpatient Days
Medicare Share = 7,000 / (21,000 x .87) = 7,000 / 18,270 = .38
Discharge Payment = (2,000 – 1,149)x200 = 851 x 200 = $170,200
2011 Payment = (2,000,000 + 170,200) x .38 x 1 = $824,676
2012 Payment = (2 000 000 + 170 200) x 38 x 75 = $618 5077,000 Medicare A and C Inpatient Days,
• 21,000 total Inpatient Days,
• 87 % in noncharity charges.
2012 Payment = (2,000,000 + 170,200) x .38 x .75 = $618,507
2013 Payment = (2,000,000 + 170,200) x .38 x .5 = $412,338
2014 Payment = (2,000,000 + 170,200) x .38 x .25 = $206,189
TOTAL INCENTIVE = $2,061,690
