Presentation mat at CAPG 2015 Colloquium.
Thirty cents of every dollar goes to no and low value care. While that drove billing in FFS service, success in value based arrangements comes from mitigating it by matching your practice patters with the right arrangements and payer partners. Often providers delivering the best care have hidden value that traditional utilization reviews and unit cost analysis don’t uncover. Fortunately, the newly-released HHS government benchmark data allow providers to pick the right risk arrangements and identify their exact contributions to payers.
Attend this session to learn what public government data is available to help providers move to risk, how payers and providers are using it to successful negotiate and manage capitation.

repeatedly validated over the last 30 years

apply the methodologies at a large scale.

B – CMS Policy: Sun-setting Fee for Service to mitigate Unnecessary Spend
Burwell’s announcement on sun-setting FFS is real and the CMS
ortho bundled payments is the tip of iceberg
Goal is to get rid of unnecessary spend – the 30 cents of every dollar that
goes to no value care drove billing in Fee for Service
Concern is providers will not be able to successfully transition
(cf. AMA/RAND study) and CMS is making multiple bets on payers &
providers across programs
Win is to create a virtuous cycle where providers who mitigate unnecessary
spend are paid more and have more membership from plans

Narrow networks pay off for payers and employers.
[E.g. High/Med/Low scenario in unnecessary spending via network construction.]
Market is consolidating around narrow networks with payers buying providers
who mitigate unnecessary spend and private equity accelerating groups to this
Providers often not aware of the valuation impact tied to ability to mitigate
unnecessary spend and transition to pay for value
