  • Understanding AQRUR

  • • The New England Quality Innovation Network-

    Quality Improvement Organization (QIN-QIO) is administered by Healthcentric Advisors in partnership with Qualidigm. Together, they serve as the QIN-QIO for all six New England states.

    • CSMS is assisting the New England QIN-QIO in

    developing and disseminating information about Medicare quality programs.

  • In Context

  • What is AQRUR? CMS Annual Quality and Resource Use Report

    The QRUR is a component of the Value Based Payment Modifier program (VM) – it provides data on quality of care and the resources used to provide that care to Medicare FFS beneficiaries

    An AQRUR is provided for each TIN; data includes: • Quality and cost measures • VM calculation for groups of 10+ EPs* • Quality tier designation (high, average, low), and • Benchmark data for peer comparisons

    *For groups of 1 – 9 EPs, the 2014 AQRUR is informational only

  • Who is an Eligible Professional (EP)? CMS recognizes 3 types of EP:

    Medicare Physicians Practitioners Therapists Doctor of Medicine Doctor of Osteopathy Doctor of Podiatric Medicine Doctor of Optometry Doctor of Oral Surgery Doctor of Dental Medicine Doctor of Chiropractic

    Physician Assistant Nurse Practitioner* Clinical Nurse Specialist* Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist* (and Anesthesiologist Assistant) Certified Nurse Midwife* Clinical Social Worker Clinical Psychologist Registered Dietician Nutrition Professional Audiologists *Includes Advanced Practice Registered Nurse (APRN)

    Physical Therapist Occupational Therapist Qualified Speech-Language Therapist

  • Attribution Methodology Step 1: A beneficiary receives the plurality of primary care

    services from primary care physicians* in your TIN

    Step 2: Beneficiaries who did not receive a primary care service from a primary care physician are attributed to your TIN if: – They received at least one primary care service** from a physician of any

    specialty within the TIN, and – They received a plurality of the primary care services from specialist

    physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and clinical nurse specialists within the TIN.

    *Family Practice, Internal Medicine, General Practice, and Geriatric Medicine specialty codes **E&M office visits, other outpatient services, skilled nursing facility services, and those

    services rendered in home settings

  • AQRUR Data Costs are identified through allowed Medicare Part A and Part B charges. These figures have been:

    •Payment standardized to remove geographic payment differentials

    •Risk adjusted to account for differences in beneficiary medical history

    •Specialty adjusted to account for differences in TIN specialty mix

  • AQRUR Data Cost Measures – Per Capita Quality Measures

    General (2) • All attributed beneficiaries •Medicare Spending per Beneficiary (MSPB)

    •30-Day All Cause Hospital Readmission • Acute Ambulatory Care-Sensitive Condition (ACSC) Composite • Chronic ACSC Composite

    Condition-Specific (4) •Beneficiaries with Diabetes • Beneficiaries with COPD • Beneficiaries with CAD • Beneficiaries with Heart Failure

  • 2015: What You Need to Know There is a 2-year lag between reporting and payment

    adjustment

    • The 2014 AQRURs are now available, and contain data from 1/1/14 – 12/30/14

    • The 2014 AQRUR will be used to calculate the 2016 Value Modifier (VM) that will be applied to payment adjustments in 2016 for groups of 10+ EPs

    • For solo & small groups (2-9), the 2014 AQRUR is informational only – no effect on 2016 payments

    • 2015 QRUR data will be used to calculate the VM that will be applied to payment adjustments in 2017 for all EPs

  • Obtaining AQRUR An Enterprise Identity Data Management (EIDM) account is needed to access

    your AQRUR For a solo EP (TIN with only 1 NPI billing under TIN) EIDM roles include:

    • Individual Practitioner • Practitioner Representative

    For a group of 2+ EPs (TIN with 2+ NPIs billing under the TIN) EIDM roles

    include:

    • Security Official • Group Representative

  • Exhibit 4: Medicare Spending per Beneficiary

    (MSPB) Hospitalization Episodes

    A hospitalization episode is attributed your TIN if you provided more Part B services than any other TIN. A lower number of unique beneficiaries relative to the total episodes of hospital care could indicate that some beneficiaries had multiple hospitalizations. Consider enhanced care management support for these patients.

    PresenterPresentation Notes

  • Exhibit 5: Performance by Quality Domain

    Exhibit 5 is only populated for TINs that met the criteria to avoid the 2016 PQRS payment adjustment and:

    1.) Reported quality data via the PQRS GPRO or 2.) At least 50% of the EPs in the TIN reported PQRS quality data as individuals

  • Exhibit 10: Per Capita/Per Episode Costs

  • Exhibit 11: Per Capita Cost Differentials

  • Exhibit 12: Per Episode Cost Differentials

  • Supplementary Exhibits

    These exhibits build on the AQRUR information to provide a better understanding of your TIN’s beneficiaries, their use of health services, and other TINs involved in their care.

    These are provided as downloadable Microsoft

    Excel files, so you can custom sort and review data. They also contain definitions, notes, and discharge status codes.

  • Supplementary Exhibits Supplementary Exhibits Overview

  • Supplementary Exhibit 1 For each EP billing under your TIN, you can find

    • NPI number and name • Physician/Non-physician • Specialty Designation • Identified through PECOS and/or Medicare billing • Date of last claim billed under TIN

    Look for: incorrect listings of EP or specialty. Make sure PECOS records are updated, and contact your TIN’s Medicare Administrative Contractor (MAC) to see whether claims can be corrected.

  • Supplementary Exhibit 2A: Beneficiaries Attributed to Your TIN

    Cost Measures, Claims-Based Outcome Measures & Care

    • Verify beneficiaries attributed to your TIN • Identify beneficiaries with 1 of 4 chronic conditions • Identify beneficiaries who received services outside your TIN • Review EPs billing for the most services for the beneficiary

    • In your TIN • Outside your TIN

    • Verify claims information • Date of last hospital admission

    Look for: high-risk beneficiaries, and low-risk beneficiaries with

    high % of costs. Improved care coordination and patient self-management education can be helpful for both groups

    PresenterPresentation NotesThis data can help you find ways to improve and maintain quality and efficiency in care delivery

  • Supplementary Exhibit 2B: Beneficiaries attributed to your TIN/Cost Measures

    • Costs of care provided to beneficiaries in 2A • Total payment-standardized FFS Medicare costs and

    distribution of costs across service categories • Identify your TIN’s cost drivers Look for: unexpected service patterns, cost drivers,

    high rates of emergency care or post-acute care. These represent opportunities to improve care coordination and monitoring.

  • Supplementary Exhibit 3 Hospital admissions for any cause

    • Beneficiary • Admitting hospital • Principal diagnosis associated with admission • Admission from ED evaluation, ACSC, or 30-day

    readmission • Date of admission/discharge • Subsequent care environment Look for: opportunities to align/coordinate care,

    improve information sharing, and increase beneficiary engagement in care. These can reduce preventable hospital admissions.

    PresenterPresentation NotesAlthough this says “any cause,” it does not include hospitalizations with a primary diagnosis of alcohol or substance abuse

  • Supplementary Exhibit 4 Medicare Spending Per Beneficiary (MSPB) • Beneficiary characteristics • Apparent lead EP • Episode hospitalization features • Episode cost by category of service • Total payment-standardized episode cost Look for: high category of service costs, principal

    consider ways to increase care coordination. Review clinical guidelines for high-percentage procedures.

    PresenterPresentation NotesCosts reflect care furnished by all providers, not only those in your TIN

  • Supplementary Exhibit 6: Per Episode Costs by Categories of Service (MSPB)

    • % of beneficiaries using a service category • Payment-adjusted, specialty-adjusted, risk-standardized
