Today, we face major health care challenges in Arkansas
▪ The health status of Arkansans is poor: the
state is ranked at or near the bottom of all states
on national health indicators, such as heart
disease and diabetes
▪ The health care system is hard for patients to
navigate, and it does not reward providers who
work as a team to coordinate care for patients
▪ Health care spending is growing
unsustainably:
– Insurance premiums doubled for employers
and families in past 10 years (adding to
uninsured population)

Reduce payment levels for all providers regardless
of their quality of care or efficiency in managing costs
Pass growing costs on to consumers through higher premiums,
deductibles and co-pays (private payers), or higher taxes

Intensify payer intervention in decisions though managed
care or elimination of expensive services (e.g. through prior
authorizations) based on restrictive guidelines
Eliminate coverage of expensive services or eligibility

▪ Quality metrics required for gain sharing payment:
– Percent of episodes with administration of intra-operative steroids1
▪ Metrics for reporting only:
– Quality: Post-operative primary bleed rate (i.e., post-procedure
admissions or unplanned return to OR due to bleeding within 24 hours of
surgery)
– Quality: Post-operative secondary bleed rate
– Utilization: Rate of antibiotic prescription post-surgery2

Episode design decisions
▪
▪
▪
Trigger identification:
– Only outpatient tonsillectomies/adenoidectomies can be
potential triggers (i.e., tonsillectomies/adenoidectomies
which occur in the ER or inpatient are automatically
excluded as potential triggers)
– Episode is triggered by tonsillectomy/adenoidectomy
procedure and appropriate primary or secondary diagnosis
Pre-procedure window:
– Episode begins the day of the first PAP visit within a 90-day
window prior to procedure
▫ Any ER/Inpatient cost in pre-procedure window will be
excluded
▫ Any medications in pre-procedure window will be
excluded
Post-procedure window:
– Related services within 30 days after procedure (i.e.,
inpatient and outpatient facility services, professional
services, related medications, treatment for post-procedure
complications)
–
Inpatient post-procedure admission within 30 days after
procedure as defined by Bundled Payment for Care
Improvement (BPCI)
Rationale
▪
▪
▪
▪
▪
Detailed in following pages
Tonsillectomies/adenoidectomies which occur in the ER or inpatient often
have high variability in patient conditions, outcomes, and episode costs
(i.e., variability beyond the control of the PAP), and are therefore excluded
A list of CPT and ICD-9 Px codes for tonsillectomy, adenoidectomy, and
adeno-tonsillectomy are identified as triggers for an episode
An appropriate ICD-9 diagnosis code (Dx fields 1 and 2) must also
accompany a procedure code for the procedure to be considered a valid
trigger for an episode
Pre-procedure window is a maximum of 90 days prior to the procedure to
allow for capture of the first ENT consult with patient
ER/Inpatient and medication costs are not captured in pre-procedure
window since the tonsillectomy/adenoidectomy procedure is often
scheduled based on patient convenience, therefore giving some PAPs a
greater risk for higher ER/inpatient and medication cost that is beyond
PAP’s control
▪
Post procedure admissions due to complications, etc. are included in
episode cost calculations since reducing complications and treating them
effectively and efficiently is an identified value driver
▪
Bundled Payment for Care Improvement (BPCI) provides a list of
procedure codes which are not relevant to tonsillectomy/adenoidectomy
and these procedures would not be included in episode costs (i.e., if a
patient is treated for a condition that is not a complication or relevant to the
tonsillectomy/adenoidectomy procedure within 30 days after the procedure,
it will not be included in the episode cost calculations)
15
PRELIMINARY WORKING DRAFT; SUBJECT TO CHANGE
2 Design rationale: Patient exclusions (1/5)
Detailed in following pages
Patient exclusion design decision
Rationale
▪ Select co-morbid conditions within 365 days
▪ Patients with certain co-morbidities which may
prior to procedure or during episode
▪ Pregnant during episode
unfairly increase a PAP’s average episode cost due
to their inherent medical condition(s) within a year
prior to procedure or during the episode are excluded
(i.e., co-morbidities are factors beyond the PAP’s
control/influence)
▪ Tonsillectomies/adenoidectomies performed on women
who are known to be pregnant during an episode window
are excluded due to their potentially complex condition
▪ Age younger than 3 or older than 21
▪ Patients under 3 and older than 21 tend to be more
complicated procedures and are therefore excluded
▪ Dual enrollment in Medicare/Medicaid (i.e.,
dual eligibles)
▪ Inconsistent enrollment with payer during
episode
▪ In order to reduce the possibility that costs within an
episode are not accurately and fully captured (i.e.,
costs partially covered by another program), patients
who have dual enrollment are excluded
▪ Consistent enrollment ensures that all costs
associated with an episode are accurately and fully
captured
16

2 Design rationale: Patient exclusions (2/5)
Patient exclusion design decision
Rationale
▪ Uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (UPPP) on date
▪ Patients with UPPP on date of procedure have a
of procedure
▪
▪ Patients with BMI>50
▪ Patients with BMI over 50 are higher risk and more
▪
▪ Death in hospital during episode
different clinical pathology than relevant
tonsillectomy/adeno-tonsillectomy
As a result, the severity of care and episode cost is
extremely different and variable as compared to
relevant episodes
complicated to operate on
The PAP cannot control this risk or the variability in
outcomes due to this patient condition
▪ Patients with death in hospital are clinical outliers
▪ Patient status of “left against medical advice” ▪ A PAP cannot be held responsible for outcomes and
during episode
resulting cost of care if patient leaves AMA

4 Design rationale: Quality metrics
Quality metrics design decision
A▪ Quality metrics required for gain sharing
payment:
– Rate of administration of inta-operative
steroids
B ▪ Quality/utilization metrics for reporting only:
Rationale
▪ To qualify for gain sharing, providers or their staff
▪
▪ A bleed within 24-hours post-surgery (primary bleed)
– Post-operative primary bleed rate (i.e.,
post-procedure admissions or unplanned
return to OR due to bleeding within 24
hours of surgery)
– Post-operative secondary bleed rate
– Utilization: Rate of antibiotic prescription
post-surgery
must report quality metrics through an online provider
portal since some quality metrics cannot be extracted
from claims data
Providers must meet minimum quality standards
agreed upon by a clinical advisory board
– Example:
▫ Average rate of intra-operative steroid
administration
▪
▪
is related to surgeon technical skill and can drive
post-procedure admissions as well as unplanned
return to the operation room
A bleed within 2-14 days post-procedure is less
related to physician efficiency but should still be
monitored as it can drive post-procedure admissions
The Academy of Otolaryngology has recommended
against post procedure antibiotic prescription in the
revised tonsillectomy guidelines from 2011
21
PRELIMINARY WORKING DRAFT; SUBJECT TO CHANGE
5 Design rationale: Principal Accountable Provider (PAP)
PAP design decision
Rationale
▪ Payers independently determine the PAP by
▪ Medicaid has publicly announced that the Principal
considering the following factors:
– Decision making responsibilities
– Influence over other providers
– Portion of episode cost
Accountable Provider (PAP) will be the primary
provider performing the tonsillectomy/adenoidectomy
since they are in the position to influence the most
decisions and costs
Medicaid’s PAP will be the provider performing
the tonsillectomy/adenoidectomy

Dear Medicaid provider,
This is an update on the Arkansas Health Care Payment Improvement Initiative (APII) – a payment system developed with input from hundreds of health
care providers, patients and family members. Our goal is to support and reward providers who consistently deliver high-quality, coordinated, and costeffective care.
As a reminder, a core component of this multi-payer initiative is episodes of care. An episode is the collection of care provided to treat a particular condition
over a given length of time. Since July of 2012, Arkansas Medicaid has introduced new episodes, including Upper Respiratory Infection (URI), Perinatal
(colloquially, called “pregnancy”), Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), and more. To see the most up to date list of episodes visit the APII
website at www.paymentinitiative.org.
For each episode, the provider that holds the main responsibility for ensuring that care is delivered at appropriate cost and quality will be designated as the
Principal Accountable Provider (PAPs). For some episodes in the period covered in the attached report, you were identified as the PAP. After appropriate
risk-adjustments and exclusions, your average quality and cost was compared with previously announced thresholds. This determines any potential sharing
of savings or excess cost indicated in the report. Note that all information described throughout your report is based on claims already submitted and all
providers should continue to submit and receive reimbursement for claims as they do today.
This report contains episodes currently in the ‘preparatory phase’ and so the data and analyses for these reports are historical only (i.e. they are not data
from the time period that you will be measured against). To see “performance” reports (i.e., containing episodes eligible for gain or risk sharing) for episodes
launched earlier, log onto the provider portal at www.paymentinitiative.org to download a separate report.
To aid you in your role as a PAP for future episodes, we have been working hard with providers and other payers to design a set of reports that give you
detailed data about the quality and cost of your care as well as how this compares with previously announced thresholds and the range of performance of
other providers. As each payer will send a report covering their patients, you may receive similar reports from Arkansas Blue Cross Blue Shield and / or
QualChoice.
We encourage you to log onto the provider portal to access your current and previous ‘preparatory period’ and ‘performance period’ reports. As a PAP for
select episodes, you should begin using this portal to enter selected quality metrics for each patient with an episode of care starting. To see which episodes
have quality metrics linked to gain sharing visit the APII website.
We have been working diligently to solicit feedback from the provider community and will continue in our efforts to respond to all questions, comments and
concerns raised in a timely and consistent manner. For answers to frequently asked questions regarding the initiative and episodes, please refer to the
payment initiative website (www.paymentinitiative.org) You can also call us at 1-866-322-4696 or locally at 501-301-8311 with questions or email
[email protected]. Additionally, be sure to check the website regularly for updates on upcoming informational WebEx sessions, other resources, or to sign up
for alerts.
