8 Therapy THERAPY NEED (M2200) Therapy Need: In the home health plan of care for the Medicare payment episode for which this assessment will define a case mix group, what is the indicated need for therapy visits (total of reasonable and necessary physical, occupational, and speech language pathology visits combined)? (Enter zero [ 000 ] if no therapy visits indicated.) ( ) Number of therapy visits indicated (total of physical, occupational and speech language pathology combined). NA Not Applicable: No case mix group defined by this assessment. Episode Timing (M0110) Episode Timing: Is the Medicare home health payment episode for which this assessment will define a case mix group an early episode or a later episode in the patient s current sequence of adjacent Medicare home health payment episodes? 1 Early 2 Later UK Unknown NA Not Applicable: No Medicare case mix group to be defined by this assessment. 8

9 NO OASIS NO PAYMENT MLN Matters Number: MM9585 Related Change Request (CR) #: CR 9585 Related CR Release Date: October 27, 2016 Effective Date: April 1, 2017 Related CR Transmittal #: R3629CP Implementation Date: April 3, 2017 Submission of an OASIS assessment is a condition of payment for HH episodes of care. OASIS reporting regulations require the OASIS to be transmitted within 30 days of completing the assessment of the beneficiary. In most cases, this 30-day period will have elapsed by the time a 60-day episode of HH services is completed and the HHA submits the final claim for that episode to Medicare. If the OASIS assessment is not found in the QIES upon receipt of a final claim for an HH episode and the receipt date of the claim is more than 30 days after the assessment completion date, Medicare systems will deny the HH claim. (While the regulation requires the assessment to be submitted within 30 days, the initial implementation of this edit will allow 40 days.) In denying the claim, Medicare will supply the following remittance messages: Group Code of CO Claim Adjustment Reason Code 272 Outcome & Process Measures Source VBP Home Health Compare Timely Initiation of Care Multiple Improvement In Ambulation/Locomotion M1860 X Improvement In Transferring M1850 X Improvement In Bathing M1830 X Improvement In Management of Oral Meds M2020 X Improvement In Pain M1242 X Improvement In Dyspnea M1400 X 60 Day Acute Care Hospitalization Rate Claims X 60 Day Emergency Department Use Claims X Discharged to Community M2420 X Prior ADL/IADL Functioning M1900 Influenza Immunization Received M1046 X Star Rating Pneumococcal Vaccine Ever Received M1051 X Drug Education for all Meds M2015 X Reason Pneumococcal Vaccine Not Received M1056 Influenza Vaccine Data Collection Period M1041 Types and Sources of Assistance M2102 9

These 9 measures include: Process of care measures how often the agency: Initiated patient care in a timely manner Provided patient/caregiver drug education on all medications Ensured patients received flu vaccine for the current season Outcome of care measures how often the patient: Got better at walking or moving around Got better at getting in and out of bed Got better at bathing themselves Was able to engage in activity with less pain Experienced less shortness of breath Required acute care hospitalization 11

12 HHGM Home Health Payment Groupings What is HHGM? It is a potential refinement of the Home Health Resource Groups (HHRG) reimbursement methodology. It will eliminate therapy visits being utilized as a factor in determining the resource use (case mix weight) in home health. The model is made up of 128 payment groups defined by 5 categories: Timing new 30 day periods: first 30 days is early all other 30 day periods are late Referral Source community or institutional Clinical Groupings 6 groups based on primary diagnosis Functional Level high, medium or low based on 8 OASIS items Comorbidity yes or no based on secondary diagnosis Technical Report: 23 Key Questions to Ask? Admission Nurses vs. Everyone Completing OASIS Do you have per visit or per hour or salary? How much effort is put into review of the OASIS documentation? Are the coders fully educated? How often is OASIS education provided? Is someone dedicated to reviewing outcomes? Is there a strategic plan to move you to where you need to be? 12

18 CMS-1648-F 25 Case-Mix Adjustment Variables and Scores 49 M1850 (Transferring) = 2 or more M1860 (Ambulation) = 1, 2 or M1860 (Ambulation) = 4 or more Source: CY 2015 Medicare claims data for episodes ending on or before December 31, 2015 (as of June 30, 2016) for which we had a linked OASIS assessment. LUPA episodes, outlier episodes, and episodes with SCIC or PEP adjustments were excluded. Note(s): Points are additive; however, points may not be given for the same line item in the table more than once. In updating the four-equation model for CY 2017, using complete 2015 data as of June 30, 2016 (the last update to the four-equation model for CY 2016 used 2014 data), there were few changes to the point values for the variables in the four-equation model. These relatively minor changes reflect the change in the relationship between the grouper variables and resource use between 2014 and The CY 2017 four-equation model resulted in 119 point-giving variables being used in the model (as compared to the 124 point-giving variables for the 2016 recalibration). Of those 119 variables, the CY 2017 four-equation model had 113 variables that were also present in the CY 2016 four-equation model. Of those 113 variables, the points for 33 variables increased in the CY 2017 four-equation model compared to CY 2016 and the points for 33 variables decreased in the CY equation model compared to CY There were 47 variables with the same point values between CY 2016 and CY There were 6 variables that were added to the model in CY 2017 that weren t in the model in CY Also, 11 variables were in the model in CY 2016 but dropped in CY 2017 due to the absence of additional resources associated with these variables. In other words, these variables are not associated with additional resources beyond what is captured by the other case-mix adjustment variables in the regression model. Step 2: Re-define the clinical and functional thresholds so they are reflective of the new points associated with the CY 2017 four-equation model. After estimating the points for each of the variables and summing the clinical and functional points for each episode, we look at the distribution of the clinical score and functional score, breaking the episodes into different steps. 35

19 CMS-1648-F 26 The categorizations for the steps are as follows: Step 1: First and second episodes, 0-13 therapy visits. Step 2.1: First and second episodes, therapy visits. Step 2.2: Third episodes and beyond, therapy visits. Step 3: Third episodes and beyond, 0-13 therapy visits. Step 4: Episodes with 20+ therapy visits We then divide the distribution of the clinical score for episodes within a step such that a third of episodes are classified as low clinical score, a third of episodes are classified as medium clinical score, and a third of episodes are classified as high clinical score. The same approach is then done looking at the functional score. It was not always possible to evenly divide the episodes within each step into thirds due to many episodes being clustered around one particular score. 2 Also, we looked at the average resource use associated with each clinical and functional score and used that to guide where we placed our thresholds. We tried to group scores with similar average resource use within the same level (even if it meant that more or less than a third of episodes were placed within a level). The new thresholds, based off of the CY 2017 four-equation model points are shown in Table 4. TABLE 4: CY 2017 Clinical and Functional Thresholds 1st and 2nd Episodes 3rd+ Episodes All Episodes 0 to 13 therapy visits 14 to 19 therapy visits 0 to 13 therapy visits 14 to 19 therapy visits 20+ therapy visits Grouping Step: Equation(s) used to calculate points: (see Table 3) (2&4) 2 For Step 1, 49.2 percent of episodes were in the medium functional level (All with score 14). For Step 2.1, 70.7 percent of episodes were in the low functional level (Most with score 5 and 6). For Step 2.2, 78.7 percent of episodes were in the medium functional level (Most with score 2). For Step 3, 51.0 percent of episodes were in the medium functional level (Most with score 10). For Step 4, 51.2 percent of episodes were in the medium functional level (Most with score 5 and 6). 36

Independent variables in the model are indicators for the step of the episode as well as the clinical and functional levels within each step of the episode. Like the four-equation model, the payment regression model is also estimated with robust standard errors that are clustered at the beneficiary level. Table 5 shows the regression coefficients for the variables in the payment regression model updated with CY 2015 data. The R-squared value for the payment regression model is (an increase from for the CY 2016 recalibration). 37

The case-mix budget neutrality factor is calculated as the ratio of total payments when the CY 2017 HH PPS grouper and case-mix weights (developed using CY 2015 claims data) are applied to CY 2015 utilization (claims) data to total payments when the CY 2016 HH PPS grouper and case-mix weights (developed using CY 2014 claims data) are applied to CY 2015 utilization data. Using CY 2015 claims data as of June 30, 2016, we calculated the case-mix budget neutrality factor for CY 2017 to be The following is a summary of the comments and our responses to comments on the CY 2017 case-mix weights. 4
