While trying to Rise to the Challenge of New Healthcare Standards

• Providers and Payers must deal with the burden of information technology mandates

– Implementation of 5010

– Electronic health record implementation and “meaningful use”

– Recovery Audit Contractors, other audits

– Demand for transparency

– New standards for providing EOBs

– Required reporting of proportion of dollars spent on: clinical services, quality and other costs and provide rebates to consumers (medical debt ratio)

– Pay for Performance, “Never Events”, bundled payments…

– New standards for financial and administrative transactions to promote administrative simplification

Page 16: {Presentation Title} Presented to ... - First Illinois HFMAfirstillinoishfma.org/wp-content/uploads/HFMA-Chicago-Winning-Und… · 13/12/2011  · Hospital Care, 31% U.S. GDP 2008

20 percent of all claims submitted in an

average month are delayed or denied

On average, providers must submit claims

four times to get paid

Two-thirds of providers need to resubmit a

claim two or more times

Nearly three-quarters of payers have to

interact with providers at least three times

to obtain all the necessary information to

pay

Remittances frequently still posted from

paper EOBs, making consistent capture of

denial data and use of reason codes highly

variable and creating denial management

challenges

Efficiency – Both Payer and Provider

Page 17: {Presentation Title} Presented to ... - First Illinois HFMAfirstillinoishfma.org/wp-content/uploads/HFMA-Chicago-Winning-Und… · 13/12/2011  · Hospital Care, 31% U.S. GDP 2008

Preparation for 5010

• PNC client survey conducted August, 2010 to gain understanding of their migration process

– 55% of provider clients and 20% of payer clients responded

– 55% of providers were prepared to test during Q1 2011 versus 35% of payers

– Majority of payers will be capable of dual processing (processing claims from providers who have not converted from 4010 and those who have migrated to 5010)

– 79% of providers plan to implement 5010 format on an individual transaction basis. For example, provider would best 835 transaction first and implement 5010 format of 835 immediately following successful testing

• A large part of the work effort and cost for 5010 migration is in testing through end-to-end processing, requiring significant time and leadership commitment

Bottom Line! Current Hospital Revenue Cycle Environment

• Huge fragmentation

o More than 2,000 payers

o 30,000 contact points - or "channels“ to deal with

• Cumbersome processes

• Unenforceable standards – HIPAA standardization

• Excessive reliance on paper or proprietary gateways

• Constantly changing payment protocols

• Abnormally high and accelerating costs of billing and collections for healthcare encounters

• Reimbursement and market pressures continue to reduce share of resources available for overburdened and understaffed administrative functions

The end result? A Lot of Administrative Waste.

A New World

• Reform signed into law March 30, 2010

• Sweeping changes to healthcare

• Final bill NOT the final word… full or partial repeal? Revision?

• Implemented over the next five years in the following areas:

– Expanded coverage

– Medicare payment cuts

– Payments tied to quality

– Delivery system reforms

– National evidence-based

quality strategy

– Attack fraud and abuse

Payment Cuts in Healthcare Reform

• Nearly $200 billion in Medicare reimbursement cuts over 10 years.

• Combined, payment cuts to hospitals could amount to 15% of total inpatient Medicare reimbursement.

• Independent Payment Advisory Board to recommend cost reductions starting in 2020

Other Opportunities?

Speed revenue, achieve operational efficiencies, enhance compliance and reduce costs:

Implement Patient lockbox

Increased patient responsibility = $$$ in patient receivables

Postal Service budget cuts will increase mail times to hospital mail rooms, and may eliminate weekend mail delivery

Increased $$$ will increase audit concerns

HITECH raises standards for privacy/security, particularly for subcontractors such as outsourced mail operations

ROI is clear, and hospitals that have not implemented patient lockbox are behind the industry

Low-risk, high value way to begin a collections automation project

• Employees see immediate value

• Low requirement for hospital MIS involvement

Improve operational efficiency and cash optimization

44

Other Opportunities?

Commercial lockbox

Same reasons as patient lockbox, but also sets the stage for process improvement, transition to IOCR

Look for national lockbox with corporate availability, virtual sorting, ability to sort by payer (MICR line), on-line images of lockbox checks/remits AND returned checks, ability to move to second generation IOCR

HITECH compliance

Direct 835/Re-Association

Electronic conversion of payments with direct 835…direct 835/EFT combinations maximimizes cash availability

Automatic re-association of data and dollars accelerates cash, ensures accuracy, enables staff to focus on exceptions

Ensure partner has good RIO for connections with lower volume payers not feasible for direct connections with provider (non-contract payers, payers secondary to Medicare, Workers Comp, auto)

Partner readiness will assist clients in converting from 4010 to 5010

Skilled on boarding and implementation consulting teams is important

Continuous Assessment of Clinical Payment Reform Benchmarks

• 1-day Length of Stay Admissions

• 3-day Length of Stay Admissions

• Hospital-Acquired Conditions (CMS hospital acquired conditions/HAC defined)/Payment Quality Indicators (PQI)

– Defined by specific CC/MCC ICD codes including; foreign object retained after surgery, air embolism, blood incompatibility, pressure ulcers, falls & trauma, catheter-associated urinary tract infection, perforated appendix, diabetes, dehydration, hypertension, COPD, congestive heart failure, angina, bacterial pneumonia, etc.

• 30-day Readmission Rate

– heart attack

– heart failure

– pneumonia

• Avoidable Admissions

– Patients admitted but due to their diagnosis, may be more effectively managed outside the acute care environment

PNC Benchmarking Collaborative

• Measure the performance of the revenue cycle among acute care hospitals.

• Development of a PNC customer-based index that will allow us to measure the strength of an organization’s revenue cycle performance.

– This “PNC Index” will illustrate how well PNC customers are performing within the revenue cycle by comparing them to industry best practice benchmarks as well as comparing their respective performance to other PNC hospital peers.

• Approximately 30 non-PHI data points will be requested using financial data that is typically found on a monthly operating statement of an organization.

• There is no fee to participate in this survey, and results will be shared with the customer upon completion of this initiative.

• Provide an easy visual display of the organization’s revenue cycle performance against industry best practice and their peers.
