Breakthroughs in Medical Treatment- HIV: fatal chronic disease
- Cancer: 20% reduction in death rates over 25 years
- Cardiovascular disease: 60% population mortality
reduction in last 50 years
- Significant progress in most diseases
- More to come
Result: Generally Rising Costs- Demographic trends, availability of more and better
treatments
- Living longer and better is worth a lot

Current Health Coverage Debate• Affordable Care Act Repeal/Replace Plus
- Individual insurance market reform
- Medicaid expansion
- Two core issues
▪ High and rising costs of insurance coverage, with individual markets that are fragile in many
states
▪ Rising importance of ”preexisting conditions”
• Graham-Cassidy
- Repeal ACA coverage provisions as of 2020 and convert most of ACA coverage
expansion funding to state grants for improving access to coverage and care for
lower-income adults, allocated on basis of lower-income population
▪ $1.04 T for 2020-2026
▪ Favors less urban, lower-income states that did not expand Medicaid
- Convert Medicaid financing from entitlement to per-capita capped allocation, with state
option for block grants
▪ Ends retroactive Medicaid enrollment, allows work requirement for nondisabled adults, limits
provider taxes, and allows more flexibility in Medicaid funding for inpatient behavioral health
services (e.g., residential treatment facilities for substance abuse)
10
Current Health Coverage Debate, Cont.
• Bipartisan ACA Modification (Alexander-Murray)- Funding authorization for Cost Sharing Reduction payments
- Increased state flexibility under ACA Section 1332 to modify coverage requirements without increasing costs
• “Must-Pass” Legislation- Federal budget
- Debt limit legislation
- Childrens Health Insurance Program reauthorization
11
Longer-Term Reform Context
• Sanders/2020 Dem Candidates: Medicare For All- Expand access to government-run (“traditional”) Medicare insurance
coverage
- Expanded role for government price negotiation and regulation to help control costs
- Financing unclear
• Bipartisan Approaches to Addressing High Costs and Access - Prices that better reflect value and cost – and encourage innovation
- More efficient, innovative care

Care for Specialized Populations:CMMI Comprehensive ESRD Care Pilot
• 14 organizations taking on accountability for attributed Medicare
beneficiaries with End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) in their regions
- Share in savings if total spending reductions below expected benchmark while
achieving quality benchmark measures
• Mostly large dialysis providers: Fresenius, Davita, DCI
• Notable initial results
- Total 16,100 beneficiary-years of care, average expected expenditures
$88,000 per beneficiary with high expected mortality and morbidity
- High performance on measures of quality of care – mainly measures of
process of care and patient experience (CAHPS)
- Lower than expected mortality
- Substantial spending reductions: total spending per beneficiary 5% lower
than benchmark, net Medicare savings 3.6%

Competencies needed for success in accountable care
Leadership• Board, leadership, staff engagement in patient value goals
• Organizational structure reflects patient value focus
Care Model• Patient centeredness
• Care coordination and teams
• Care pathways for quality and safety improvement
Finance• Adequate capital
• Financial tracking and modeling
Health IT• Aligned IT infrastructure
• Key data sharing including patients
• Patient stratification for risk/impact assessment
New CMMI Directions in Payment Reform• Voluntary
• Clearer pathway to expansion needed
• Less administratively burdensome payment reforms• Simpler meaningful measures, data sharing and support
• Patient/consumer-focused• Transparency and public reporting
• Shared savings with consumers
• Quality and price transparency to support competition
• Smaller physician groups
• Specialized care
• Reforms through and in collaboration with private plans and states
• Behavioral health
• Drugs
• Prior evidence: Indication-specific pricing
• Results-based: Drug payment/rebates linked to measures of quality and outcomes in practice- Results dependent on patient features, adherence, and other aspects of
quality of care - Uncertainty about outcome and cost impacts in “real-world” populations - Capital for sharing risk, supporting new care models- Reliably measurable results
• Growing range of examples in and out of US- Repatha/ Amgen and CVS, ExpressScripts, Harvard Pilgrim- Entresto/ Novartis and Cigna, Aetna- Kymriah/ Novartis and CMS- Outside-US examples
Drug Payments Based (In Part) on Results
31
• Implementation issues
- US regulatory barriers designed for fee-for-service payment systems (“antikickback” rules, Medicaid Best Price rules)
- FDA off-label communications restrictions
- New administrative systems required (i.e., tracking performance impacts in affected populations rather than volume)
• Impact on outcomes vs. value- Alignment with insurance benefit designs: consumers sharing
in savings from using drugs that improve outcomes and lower total costs of care

High-Value Health Care:Operational Leadership Needed
• Active engagement in efforts to make medical practice
more longitudinal and patient-focused – especially for
chronic conditions and early disease interventions
• Operational and data support for new models of care
delivery that aim to improve outcomes and lower costs,
with aligned with payment reforms
• Progress in higher-value care enables sustainable
innovation and better population health
