Value Based Payment What are Value Based Payments (VBPs)? An approach to Medicaid reimbursement that rewards value over volume Incentivizes providers through shared savings and financial risk Directly ties payment to providers with quality of care and health outcomes

Value-Based Payment Reform Required to ensure ‘long term sustainability of DSRIP investments” By waiver Year 5 (2019), all MCOs must employ non-fee-for-service payment systems that reward value over volume for at least 80-90% of their provider payments 43

Value-Based Payment Reform Required to ensure that “valuedestroying care patterns” (avoidable admissions, ED visits, etc) do not simply return when the DSRIP funding stops in 2020 If VBP goals are not met, overall DSRIP dollars from CMS to NYS will be significantly reduced 44

VBP: Sharing in the Savings To share in savings, you eventually need to take on risk Partnering with other providers is essential to being able to take on risk We need to join forces with other providers to have enough cash reserves to take on Level 2 risk, which applies 90% of the savings to reward effective providers. 45

Value-Based Propositions Proposals to: Integrate physical and behavioral healthcare get ahead of relapse and readmissions and support crisis stabilization promote mental, emotional and behavioral (MEB) well-being in communities; prevention and strengthening MH/SA infrastructure 46

Value-Based Propositions An example NYAPRS proposed to provide peer bridger services aimed at helping people with ‘serious’ mental health and addiction related conditions to: Reduce avoidable emergency room and inpatient visits by 40% Increased self-management and participation with chosen medications, services and supports NYAPRS has successfully applied this model within a managed care contract to reduce hospital use by 48% and Medicaid spend by 47% 47

NYAPRS Advocacy on Value Based Payment Work Groups We helped see that OMH HCBS services were added to the list of SDH interventions All Level 2 and 3 plans or providers must address at least one social determinant and contract with at least 1 CBO We’ve pushed for the state to provide infrastructure dollars and technical assistance for community based 48

NYAPRS Advocacy on Value Based Payment Work Groups We’ve insisted that VBP outcomes include recovery and social determinant related ones (beyond HEDIS) Ex: maintenance of housing stability Strong emphasis on cultural competence Buy not Build Position our members for gain sharing 49

NYAPRS VBP Advocacy: Advocacy and Engagement Development of Member Incentive Programs Creation of an Expert Group for Achieving Cultural Competence in Incentive Programs Use of Patient Reported Outcomes (PRO) Expansion of ombuds program Plan for how best to communicate VBP to consumers/members 50

Homework NYAPRS and MHANYS: partnerships that advocate for recovery outcomes, services and providers and for consumer rights and choice protections Our member agencies: attain good positioning in health home and DSRIP networks, offer relevant and reliable value propositions, raise level of infrastructure (contracting, billing, compliances) and workforce 51

Homework Recovering people: be prepared to make informed choices! New health home assessment, plan and selection of recovery and HCBS services Use of self-directed care dollars and ‘patient incentives’ Assume responsibility for health literacy, improved wellness self management and health outcomes 52
