Objectives
• Describe Florida’s PSNs• Explore whether or not these innovative
organizations are potentially viable ACOs

The Problems
• Access• Quality• Costs

The “Current” Ideas About Solutions
![Page 6: Are Florida’s Medicaid Provider Service Networks (PSNs) viable Accountable Care ... · 2011-06-09 · concept for medical care providers – Whether it is ... motivations of payers](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070905/5f755b68ebb7a907d65ff072/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
ACOs Defined … Again
• ACOs are defined as– “Health care organizations that take accountability for
both cost and quality of the care they provide to defined populations, and produce performance data on outcomes”
• Current concept originated at the Dartmouth Institute for Health Policy and Clinical Practice
• Subsequent expansion/evolution• No firm consensus to date

ACOs Defined (Cont’d)
• Alternative proposed language suggests an “umbrella” concept referring to health care organizations – With financial incentives and payment reform
• Bundled payments, partial capitation
– Serving as a medical home – With significant HIT capacity and use– Overall responsibility for both health care process and
health outcomes

ACOs Are…
• An integrated set of providers• Responsible for the health of a defined population• Paid by some form of capitation or bundling, based on the defined
population• Expected to deliver or arrange for the delivery of the full range of
medical care required by the subset of the defined population who become patients
• Required to manage the care and costs such that the capitated rate is both sufficient and efficient
• Big enough to sustain performance measurement at the organization and population levels; and to prospectively plan for resource needs

Viable Models for ACOs

Florida’s PSNs (Part I)
• The PSN Demonstration (1998 – 2004)– Ambitious attempt to establish multiple PSNs– Complex bidding/contractual processes– Definitional issues– 20 Letters of Intent, 10 proposals, 1 PSN– The South Florida Community Care Network
• Operational under Medicaid contract• Closely tied to large tertiary care hospitals in two urban
counties• Served a varying enrollment from 5,000 – 25,000 people• Discounted Fee-for-Service with shared savings

Lessons Learned
• Organizational issues and feasibility• Disease management• Enrollee satisfaction• Fiscal value

Florida’s PSNs (Part II)
• The Medicaid Reform Demonstration (2006 – 2011
• PSNs identified as an eligible, alternative Managed Care Organization
• As of May 2011, 4 PSNs are participating in the demonstration, managing and delivering care to about 130,00 enrollees

The Participating PSNs
• Two PSNs are based in tertiary care safety net hospitals
• One is effectively Florida’s “Children’s Medical Services” program
• One is driven primarily by physicians• One is organized as an LLC, the three other
non-governmental entities are private not-for- profit organizations

Lessons Learned
• Organizational challenges remain• Organizational instability• Payment mechanism remains FFS• Competitive issues• Specialty PSNs?

Lessons Learned (Cont’d)
• But…– Organizational challenges can be overcome– Expansion of enrollee choices/options– Positive enrollee experiences/satisfaction– Promising fiscal consequences

PSNs as ACOs
• A feasible (but not an easy) organizational structure
• Learning curve on the insurance functions• Bundled payments would be quite easy• Capitation, not so much• Enrollee satisfaction possibilities are promising• HIT could be a huge positive for hospital or
health system based PSNs, challenging for physician-based PSNs

PSNs as ACOs
• The Medicaid experience may transfer to Medicare
• Florida is now seeking approval to expand its Medicaid Managed Care pilot statewide, creating the possibility of additional PSNs

But…
• At least two major challenges remain– Accountability for a population remains a difficult
concept for medical care providers – Whether it is possible for PSNs (and other ACOs) to
simultaneously pursue the sometimes contradictory motivations of payers and providers remains unknown
