2 1 usrds annual data report volume one ckd e13 Determining the economic impact of CKD on the healthcare system is challenging on several levels. The case definition is dependent on reported data. A biochemi- tative, but health plan datasets rarely con- costs of chronic kidney disease 9 introduction tain this information on a large scale. A definition of the CKD cohort using diagnosis codes, however, may represent only the more advanced and thus most expensive cases. In addition, CKD is a highly interactive disease, associated with cardiovascular disease (CVD), diabetes, stroke, and infectious complications. Given these limitations, we have developed a method using diagnosis codes to create a point prevalent CKD cohort. In the 9 ADR, new CKD patients were included in an attempt to produce a period prevalent cohort parallel to that created for the ESRD population. These patients, however, accounted for a disproportionate percentage of overall costs which could not be directly attributed to their CKD status. The reasons for this are numerous, but may include a high rate of acute kidney injury. This year we include only those patients classified as having CKD on January 1 of a given year, resulting in a true point prevalent cohort. When compared to last year s ADR, costs reported here for CKD patients are thus significantly lower, while those for non-ckd patients are higher. It is unclear which methodology most accurately depicts true CKD costs. Each has its strengths and weaknesses, and the differences seen with each method reflect the uncertainty involved in using claims to classify CKD. We begin by comparing data from Medicare and the Taiwan Bureau of National Health Insurance, which both use the Medicare billing format, thus allowing for precise comparisons between the two countries. Diabetes is diagnosed in and 18 percent of Medicare and Taiwanese patients, respectively, and CVD in 1 and 3 percent. (It is important to note that CVD in Taiwan is dominated by strokes, rather than the ischemic heart disease and congestive heart failure predominant in the U.S.) The CKD population recognized from diagnosis codes is also quite similar, at.8 and. percent. As mentioned elsewhere in the ADR, however, these numbers under-represent the total burden of CKD in older patients, suggesting that more advanced disease is being reported. The percentage of healthcare expenditures associated with CKD reaches 1 in the U.S., and in Taiwan, illustrating the significant financial impact of the disease. We next compare costs in the Medicare and younger employer group health plan populations, showing that overall costs per year reach $, and nearly $17,, respectively. Yearly costs for whites and African Americans with an additional diagnosis of diabetes or CHF reach $,, and $9, 3,.
3 Costs during the transition to ESRD are considerable, with the most striking occurring in the month of dialysis initiation at nearly $1, for Medicare patients, and $3, in the EGHP population. And expenditures per person per month in the first six months on dialysis are two times higher for EGHP patients than for Medicare patients, which may reflect pricing issues. Medicare sets prices for dialysis procedures and ancillary services, while private health plans, with few providers and only 1 percent of treated patients, have little leverage to negotiate pricing. Patients with commercial coverage can thus generate considerably more margin for dialysis providers, offsetting costs of the Medicare population or increasing profits for the large commercial dialysis chains. We introduce this year data from the Medicare Part D benefit, begun in. Medication costs for patients with CKD, diabetes, and congestive heart failure combined reach $,9 per year. We conclude by further examining costs in the U.S. and Taiwan. In both populations, CKD is highly interactive with diabetes and CVD. Expenditures as individuals transition from CKD to ESRD are also similar, starting relatively low and then rising rapidly. These findings suggest that cost patterns for CKD in other high-income countries may be similar as well, and provide evidence that CKD patients have a significant impact on a nation s healthcare costs. In prior editions of the ADR we have illustrated that preventive care is at less than recommended levels in both the U.S. and Taiwan. This area clearly needs to be addressed, as inadequate blood pressure, lipid, and glycemic control may contribute to progressive kidney disease and thus to a greater number of individuals reaching ESRD. see 17 for analytical methods.

4 Overall per person per year (PPPY) costs in 8 reached $19,7 for Medicare CKD patients, and $1,738 for those in the MarketScan database. Compared to those of patients with CKD of Stages 1, costs for those with Stage 3 CKD were 1. percent greater in the Medicare population, and. percent higher among MarketScan patients. In the Medicare population with both CKD and diabetes, PPPY costs for African American patients reached $,3 in 8, nearly 17 percent higher than the $1,7 for whites. Costs for those with Stage 3 CKD were 9.9 percent greater for African Americans, and 11. percent higher for white patients, than costs for their counterparts in the earlier stages of the disease. Costs for African American Medicare patients with both CKD and congestive heart failure were 1. percent higher in 8 than those for white patients with both diagnoses, at $3,9 compared to $8,89. Compared to those of patients in the earlier stages of CKD, costs for those with Stage 3 CKD were just. percent higher among whites, and nearly equal among African Americans. see 17 for analytical methods.

Costs for CKD patients, however, reached $1,87, compared to just $1, in the general Medicare population. Costs rise with patient complexity, reaching $,9 for those with CKD and diabetes, and $,9 for those with an additional diagnosis of congestive heart failure (CHF). Costs for patients with no CKD, diabetes, or CHF rose 1. percent, but these patients were the least costly, at $1,19 PPPY. At $,81 PPPY, Part D drug costs in African American CKD patients were.3 percent greater in 7 than costs among their white counterparts. Costs for African Americans with CKD, diabetes, and CHF reached $, PPPY, 9. percent greater than the costs incurred by white patients with the same diagnoses. This is important in the context of the upcoming implementation of the ESRD prospective payment system, which will include certain oral drugs. Not all drugs are covered through the Medicare Part D benefit. Notable exclusions particularly relevant to CKD include all over-the-counter medications (e.g. calcium carbonate) and vitamins and minerals (e.g. cholecalciferol, ergocalciferol). Oral vitamin D hormones (calcitriol, paricalcitol, doxercalciferol) are covered under the Part D benefit, but not all plans cover all available products. see 173 for analytical methods.

Costs for dihydropyridine (DP) calcium-channel blockers were relatively high, particularly among African Americans. As with ESRD patients (see Volume Two, Chapter Five), statins are the predominant lipid lowering agent used in CKD patients; this is shown in their costs. Low oral vitamin D hormone costs reflect their infrequent use; among African Americans, however, costs are more than twice those incurred by whites and patients of other races. PPPM costs for insulin and thiazolidinediones (TZDs) far outweigh those of sulfonylureas and metformin. And costs of all diuretic therapies are relatively low, reflecting the availability of generics. see 173 for analytical methods. Point prevalent Medicare patients.

10 1 usrds annual data report volume one ckd e The burdens of ESRD in the U.S. and in Taiwan are among the heaviest in the world. The claims systems of the Taiwanese universal-coverage National Health Insurance (NHI) and the U.S. Medicare system are very similar, allowing us to directly compare people in these two countries who are at the greatest risk and who incur the highest costs those age and older. In 1993, costs for Medicare patients with CKD accounted for 3.8 percent of overall Medicare expenditures. By 8, this had grown to 1. percent, in part reflecting growth in the number of recognized CKD patients. Costs for Taiwanese NHI patients with CKD, in contrast, have consistently accounted for 1 percent of total NHI expenditures since 1. These differences may be due to the nature of the Taiwan NHI data, a closed sample based on the cohort and followed through 8, unlike the open cohort of the Medicare population. The proportion of total costs incurred by NHI patients with CKD and diabetes or cardiovascular disease (CVD) has been relatively stable, in contrast to the steady increase seen for Medicare patients with the same diagnoses. In 8, diabetic CKD patients accounted for.1 percent of total Medicare diabetes costs, slightly higher than the 1. percent of total NHI diabetes expenditures. Costs for CKD patients with CVD contributed 19.8 percent of total Medicare CVD expenditures in 8, compared with 1. percent in Taiwan. see 173 for analytical methods.

Uneven trends in the NHI data are due to the small size of the study sample. see 173 for analytical methods. Point prevalent Medicare & NHI patients age & older. These figures compare PPPM costs for U.S. and Taiwanese ESRD patients in the six months before and after the initiation of dialysis. Total costs rise prior to initiation, particularly in the last month, with hospitalization as the major factor driving this increase. Overall costs for Medicare patients peak in the first month of dialysis, while those for Taiwan NHI patients age and older are highest in month two. The dialysis initiation period thus seems to be longer for Taiwan NHI patients with ESRD. see 173 for analytical methods.
