Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the implementation of the prospective payment system (PPS) for Medicare hospital services, attention has turned to extending the principle of prospective payment to posthospital care provided by skilled nursing facilities and home health agencies. The aim behind this extension of the prospective payment system is to provide a financial incentive for the efficient management of an entire episode of patient care--hospital and posthospital. Whether an extended PPS is feasible and whether it would provide the hoped-for benefits can be assessed only through a demonstration of the proposed system. This report details some preliminary analyses of existing data needed to refine the design of the demonstration, to set payment rates for the demonstration, and to make sure that neither a demonstration nor a fully implemented extended PPS will expose beneficiaries or providers to unacceptable risks. An earlier RAND report, R-3335, describes in detail how an extended PPS would operate and how a demonstration would be structured.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Testimony was given on issues related to the Medicare and Medicaid budgets. GAO found that: (1) since 1980, Congress has enacted at least 34 pieces of legislation that have affected Medicare and Medicaid; (2) the reconciliation bills Congress enacted between 1980 and 1986 reduced Medicare expenses by $22 billion and Medicaid expenses by about $3.8 billion; and (3) the Department of Health and Human Services' (HHS) regulatory changes to Medicare and Medicaid in the past 6 years have resulted in smaller savings. GAO believes that: (1) there should be additional changes to further reduce Medicare and Medicaid costs and to enhance the programs in areas that may have been cut too severely; (2) Congress should rebase Medicare's prospective payment system to ensure that payment rates reflect the costs hospitals incur in providing medically necessary care; (2) hospitals should continue to report their costs in the future, and Medicare should continue to audit those cost reports; (3) the modification of the cost reimbursement system, one of three options GAO proposed to the HHS prospective capital payment plan, was viable; (4) H.R. 1868 would provide better protection for program beneficiaries against unfit or unethical practitioners and combat fraud and abuse in Medicare and Medicaid; (5) Congress' actions on overpriced physician procedures present a potential for significant savings; and (6) additional Medicare savings would be available from better administration of its secondary payer program.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the definitive work on Medicare’s prospective payment system (PPS), which had its origins in the 1972 Social Security Amendments, was first applied to hospitals in 1983, and came to fruition with the Balanced Budget Act of 1997. Here, Rick Mayes and Robert A. Berenson, M.D., explain how Medicare’s innovative payment system triggered shifts in power away from the providers (hospitals and doctors) to the payers (government insurers and employers) and how providers have responded to encroachments on their professional and financial autonomy. They conclude with a discussion of the problems with the Medicare Modernization Act of 2003 and offer prescriptions for how policy makers can use Medicare payment policy to drive improvements in the U.S. health care system. Mayes and Berenson draw from interviews with more than sixty-five major policy makers—including former Treasury secretary Robert Rubin, U.S. Representatives Pete Stark and Henry Waxman, former White House chief of staff Leon Panetta, and former administrators of the Health Care Financing Administration Gail Wilensky, Bruce Vladeck, Nancy-Ann DeParle, and Tom Scully—to explore how this payment system worked and its significant effects on the U.S. medical landscape in the past twenty years. They argue that, although managed care was an important agent of change in the 1990s, the private sector has not been the major health care innovator in the United States; rather, Medicare’s transition to PPS both initiated and repeatedly intensified the economic restructuring of the U.S. health care system.
