APR‐DRG prospective weight changes due to removal of IPP‐LARC

• Utilization of Immediate Post‐Partum Long‐Acting ReversibleContraceptives (IPP‐LARCs / IUDs and Implants) prior to hospitaldischarge is efficacious in preventing unintentional follow‐uppregnancies.

• IPP‐LARCs are currently paid as part of the global OB payment,through the APR‐DRG system.

• A method to “carve‐out” IPP‐LARCs from the APR‐DRG system hasbeen developed and will be submitted to CMS for approval.

• The Department is planning on a instituting this change in paymenton July 1, 2017 provided that approval is received from CMS.

• After adjusting the APR‐DRG weights for 540, 542 & 560, new CMIs were created for each hospital and entered into the base rate setting calculations.    

• Hospitals base rates increased by an average of $0.23 ($0.18 ‐ $0.46) which translates to a reduction in the overall budget for FY2017‐18 of $574,865.  

• In FY2015‐16, DRGs 540, 542 & 560 accounted for 23,393 discharges out of a total of 95,262 total discharges or nearly 25% of all discharges.

• There are about 88 DRG hospitals enrolled with Medicaid and the Budget Neutrality amount for SFY 2017‐18 is ~$792 million.  

• The decrease in budget is largely due to a significantly lowered growth rate expected for discharges in FY2017‐18.  Discharges were expected to grow by 19.4% last year while this year’s expected growth is only 9.5%.

• For Medicaid rates effective July 1, 2017, the starting point is the Medicare rate effective October 1, 2016.

• Overall, the average rate change reflects a 1.4% increase, which accounts for both the 1.4% rate increase and the change in Medicare base rates between FFY 17 and FFY 18.

Hospital Rates Effective 7/1/2017

• The final rates will not be loaded into the system until the Department receives approval from CMS.  After which a mass adjustment will be done to reprocess affected claims.

• In the meantime, the current hospital rates will be kept in place.

Specialty $7,539.35  $7,644.91 1.40%

Decreases and increases are mostly due to fluctuations in the Initial Medicare base rate from last year.  The few Rural hospitals that contribute to the peer group average experienced an increase, 

while urban hospitals overall experienced a decrease.

• The Department is proposing to update rates every other year and just make slight updates to rates in the off year and only to hospitals that experience a meaningful change in Medicare Base Rate and/or Medicaid Rate.  

• This will not only allow the Department to devote time to creating a new base rate methodology, but minimize the work done to update rates when overall, the changes to base rates from year to year are nominal unless there is a change in:

• Medicare Base Rate: • Change in hospital classifications (like CAH)• Wage index reclassifications• Changes in HSP/LVP• ??

• Medicaid:  • Nursery, NICU or GME Add‐Ons• Changes related to receiving Peer Group Average:  (New Hospital,

Mass Adjustment of All Claims: The Department anticipates CMSapproval in the 4th quarter of calendar year 2017. At that time, allinpatient hospital claims with discharge dates 7/1/2017 or later will bere‐priced using the new rates and the revised APR‐DRG weights.

• Claims with “serve to” dates on or after 10/1/2016 and adjudication datesprior to 3/1/2017 which contain new diagnosis codes or changes inSeverity of Illness (SOI) as a result of the new ICD‐10 update should havealready been mass‐adjusted and paid correctly. Please let Diana Lambe [email protected] or 303.866.5526 if you haven’t seen thesechanges.

• Outstanding issue: Any claims that have a “serve from” date before10/1/2016 and “serve to” date after 10/1/2016 is likely to have beenprocessed incorrectly. The system was pulling in the APR‐DRG processingschedule from the “serve from” date and not recognizing the new ICD‐10diagnosis codes. We will be mass adjusting these claims as soon as we getword the system is fixed.

• It was brought to our attention that transfers for LTACs and Rehabs werereceiving a cutback payment (payment on DRG Per Diem if less than ALOS)when these hospitals should receive full reimbursement and outlier days ifapplicable.

• Resolution: Our systems people tell us that this issue has been fixed andthat all claims should have been mass‐adjusted. Please let me know [email protected] or 303.866.5526 if you see any transfer claimsare improperly paid.

• Mass adjustment of inpatient claims for three rural providers whose LowVolume Payments were restored for FY Rates effective 7/1/2016.

• Re‐issued Q2‐2015 GME payments were recouped in February 2017, butpayment was never re‐issued. We will be researching this issue next weekand determining how to fix in the new system.

• Are there other issues that we should know about?
