Presenter
Presentation Notes
Cost & Revenue Intelligence Cost and Revenue Intelligence is a broad set of offerings covering cost identification, cost trending and containment, internal admin costs, fraud, underwriting – (pricing your policies to a point where you won’t lose money from claims because of premiums set) You need to identify and understand what drives the costs to your organization– a service, particular provider group, product, location, industry, employer… What is driving up costs for your company? Is it a particular service? Particular provider group? Particular product, particular location, particular industry, or particular employer…. You need to be able to analyze right from high-level cost information to the detail that enables you to respond appropriately. And we’ll come back to actionable analytics…there’s no point understanding what drives costs but not knowing what response is needed. So, let’s provide actionable analytics embedded in business processes, take that action, and then measure the impact of that response. Operational Business Intelligence will be central to Healthcare Payers’ efforts to drive down costs and meet new legislative mandates.  Operational BI should play a key role in understanding cost drivers and improving efficiency.  The other piece of this get to it from the earliest onset… this means that analytics is done at the time of processing claims or claim submission, not after payment…. This ensures immediate call to action where the ROI is much more…. You can better capture fraud this way than post-payment. Our customers are increasingly interested in our help to align funding and payment with best practices and incentives for high quality clinical care. Pay for performance analytics is of key importance here. ************************ Additional notes Rising costs in the administration of healthcare as well as the cost of providing healthcare services are key factors behind the cost of U.S. healthcare. Payers are under increasing pressure to contain the cost of healthcare services provided to patients and additionally improve the efficiency of their own internal administration to bring down costs. Providers feel the pressure from providers to cut costs and work more efficiently. Pharmaceutical companies operate in a tough environment with few drugs making it through the R&D pipeline and fewer FDA approvals – most are taking radical steps to reduce costs across their organization. To achieve this all companies need to modernize the administrative and transactional aspects of health care. Payer Cost and Utilization Analysis. Often considered the “bread and butter” of healthcare business intelligence, cost and utilization reports should not be overlooked. Cost and utilization reports typically cover: Claims volume Claims lag Claims with errors Per Member Per Month (PMPM) or Per Employee Per Month (PEPM) for those reports that go to employer groups. Total membership (eligible) Utilizing membership All of these stats are good information, but one thing that most cost and utilization reports fail to have is the “so what” factor – the call to action for the report recipient so they know what key item they should be focusing on next month. That is something that BIS would provide – turning the insight into action, so to speak. We should also consider how collaborative technologies could be used to ensure easy sharing of key action items that involve multiple people/organizations.

Presentation Notes
So what are the typical steps that our solution supports as Healthcare Payers engage members in ongoing care management? Firstly it’s a matter of identifying and targeting the right members with the right programs and understanding where to prioritize your Care Management program spend. Second, you have to understand your members well enough to target them with the right incentives that will get them to participate in your Care Management initiatives – bringing in their employers to support programs is one way of aiding this. Third, you have to intervene in your members healthcare treatment at the point that will yield the best results for you and the member. This is where liaison with healthcare providers is absolutely key. Lastly, you must have a continuous process of evaluation and improvement for your programs that will lead to you doing a better job of identifying and targeting members in future.

Use Case: Stratification for Care Intervention

Mr. HP1 – 20 years, blood pressure 120 / 80

Mr. HP2 – 30 years, blood pressure 140 / 90, 15 lbs overweight, borderline high fasting blood sugar (115 mg/dl)

Mr. HP3 – 40 years, blood pressure 155 / 110, 50 lbs overweight, repeated high fasting blood sugar (140 mg/dl )

Is at risk of developing a chronic condition that can be minimized through better understanding and improved self care. He has a medium risk score. He is placed into a Disease Management program to optimize blood pressure control, achieve moderate weight reduction, and incorporate dietary modification.

Has a chronic condition that puts him at high risk for getting progressively worse. In this case, preventing or slowing progression is the goal. He is placed in a Case Management (CM) program.

The challenge is to correctly assess who is at risk, quantify the risk, then match the individual with the best care intervention.Is healthy and thus has a very low risk

score. Based on this, he is directed to the Wellness program.

Use Case – Case Management

– Identifying High Risk High Cost (HRHC) Members

• Identify members who are at high risk for experiencing decreased health or likely to incur high dollar cost for treatments.

• Separate long-term HRHC members (advanced chronic disease suffers) from one time high cost members (trauma)

• Stratify long-term HRHC members in order to assign appropriate intervention by Case Management (CM)

– Benefit• Lower immediate costs

• Much lower long term cost (bend the trend)

• Target intervention by Case Mangement to improve member health, keep the member healthier for longer period of time, delay the worsening of health.

Our comprehensive, innovative approach to fraud analytics combines the use of rules, anomaly detection, predictive models, and network analysis to produce improved detection and cost avoidance. The reports available provide unique insights into provider and beneficiary activity not available in standard reporting. Also, with the frequent updating of this data, the analyst does not need to wait months to detect suspicious activity as with traditional surveillance systems. Discuss an example across the knowledge continuum. Note that at the highest level, we are trying to stop fraud before it even begins – by preventing fraudulent providers or beneficiaries from enrolling in Medicaid. This is a departure from the so-called “pay and chase” model that fraud control units have typically employed.

A total of 10,000 Medicaid enrollees received mental health services in SFY 2010.

We have 35,000 individuals in our population with diabetes.

Medicare patients cared for by our physicians have an average cost of $8800 per year.

The procedure for internal fetal monitoring was billed multiple times for the same pregnancy.

Mental health services expenditures averaged $400 pmpm in 2009.

The patients cost us $7,000 this year, a 15% increase over last year.

The No. 1 DRG for our hospitalized Medicare patients is chronic heart failure.

This amount has increased by 2% in each of the past three years.

Payments for mental health services to provider X have risen 20% YOY whereas the Statewide average is 5%.

The national prevalence rate for diabetes is 8.3%; ours is 12%. Hypertension is a major co-morbidity for diabetes.

The number of heart failure patients compared to benchmark data is high.

This is not medically justified as the procedure is only performed during active labor to monitor fetal heart rate and uterine activity.

Applying data mining to large data sets, we can automatically detect more fraudulent providers and increase our ROI.

Assign patient-level risk scores using a statistical model to predict which diabetics will be hospitalized next year.

Medicare patients with Class 4 heart failure without a cardiac specialist cost over $50,000.

This procedure was controlled solely by diagnosis, which did not prevent misuse and coding errors.

We will proactively ward off complex sets of fraudulent claims using predictive analytics.

Efficiently allocate care management resources to help reduce avoidable hospitalizations for at-risk patients.

Early referral to a “Heart Failure Specialty Clinic” may lower the Medicare cost profile.

Update medical policy to reimburse fetal internal monitoring in an inpatient setting and establish limits for reimbursement consistency.
