  11. RMCHCS Revenue Sources

  12. Non-Patient Supplemental Payments

  13. RMCHCS Revenue Challenges

  14. RMCHCS Underfunding Impact

  15. Sole Community Provider Program -1 Since 1994 the Sole Community Provider program has been a core funding mechanism to supplement Medicaid payments for many New Mexico hospitals • June 2011—HSD suspends SCP payments • CMS alleges that sources of funds from counties were non-bona fide donations or in-kind transfers from hospitals • SFY 2011 SCP total = $279M • January 2012—HSD agrees to settlement with CMS • NM hospitals to repay $7.9M of CMS-calculated $53M overpayment (for 2009). NMHA says $1B SCP overpayments for 2000-2008. • RMCHCS repays $843,000 for 2009 (SCP reduced $2.5M in SFY 2012) • SCP payments restored at a lower amount—SFY 2012 = $221M

  16. Sole Community Provider Program -2 • December 2012—HSD suspends SCP payments • 2nd time in 18 months • CMS determines SCP payment errors in HSD’s historical calculations • CMS investigation jeopardizes entire SCP program • May 2013—HSD agrees to settlement with CMS • SCP program transitions under Centennial Care waiver effective 1/1/14 • CMS agrees to not review other years funding source and payment calculations. • January 2014—Centennial Care SCP program for 28 rural hospitals plus UNMH, if the underlying funds source is predictable and stable • Safety Net Care Pool (SNCP) program = $192.1M total amount • $68.9M for indigent care (maximum CMS would permit) • $132.2M for Medicaid Inpatient rate increase (HSD estimates ~75%)

  17. Safety Net Care Pool Funding Plan • House Bill (HB) 350 and Senate Bill (SB) 368 establish county gross receipts tax equivalency—generates $36.4M • Governor Martinez proposes $9M of general state funds to augment county funding • Total of $45.1M needed by state to maximize federal match—total funds $192.1M

  18. Emergency Services Emergency Physician Providers contacted • Apogee • EmCare • Hospital Physician Partners (Lovelace Health System provider) • Pegasus Emergency Management (CHS system provider) • Presbyterian Hospital & Healthcare Services • Schumacher Group • University of New Mexico Medical Group

  19. Three Ways to Positively Affect the “GAP” in MEDICAID reimbursement • Reduce overall costs of operations— • costs for the proportionate share of Medicaid will be reduced • Decrease Medicaid volume— • direct reduction on Medicaid costs, reimbursement gap, and losses • Increase revenue from non-Medicaid volume— • profit generated from these services will reduce the Medicaid reimbursement gap

  20. Increasing Medicare Reimbursement by Critical Access Hospital Designation -1 • Critical Access Hospitals (CAH) receive cost-based reimbursement from Medicare versus prospectively determined inpatient and outpatient fixed reimbursement rates. • Some hospitals find that cost-based reimbursement is advantageous, and some will not. Each hospital must perform its own financial analysis. • The Critical Access Hospital program is a Medicare reimbursement status only. • Critical Access Hospital is a change in hospital provider designation for Medicare, and not a downgrade.

  21. Increasing Medicare Reimbursement by Critical Access Hospital Designation -2 • Conversion to Critical Access Hospital (CAH) status does not mean losing services. Many hospitals can expand services knowing that Medicare costs will be 100% reimbursed. • CAHs must maintain an annual average length of stay of 96 hours or less for their acute care patients. • CAHs may have a maximum of 25 acute care inpatient beds. • CAHs must provide 24-hour emergency services. • As of June 30, 2013, there are 1,332 certified Critical Access Hospitals located throughout the United States and nine in New Mexico.

  22. East Campus Changes • Behavioral Health Services (BHS) Service Lines • inpatient addictions recovery program • outpatient individual therapy counseling • The BHS service lines have lost significant money for many years. Medicaid volume in Addictions Program = 94% in 2013 • The buildings at East Campus are aging and very expensive to maintain • Inpatient Addictions Recovery program closing 2/28/14 • Outpatient Therapy Counseling relocating to Main Campus on Red Rock Drive
