U.S. Healthcare Spending: International Context, National Trends, and Getting to High-Value Care

Ashish K. Jha, MD, MPH October 16, 2018

Page 2: U.S. Healthcare Spending: International Context, National Trends, … · 2018-10-16 · U.S. Healthcare Spending: International Context, National Trends, and Getting to High- Value

+ Agenda

International context: how does US spending and utilization compare with other countries?

How did the ACA try to address our cost and quality problems? Has it worked?

What does this mean for MA?

+ Hypothesis #1: Too many specialists, not enough primary care

+ So is it utilization?

Higher US costs not primarily about utilization

We have fewer hospitalizations, doctor visits

Tests and Procedures a mixed bag: We do a lot more MRIs, TKRs, Angioplasties

We do fewer hip replacements

Bottom line: We’re above average on some things We’re below average on other things

On average, we are pretty average

Page 37: U.S. Healthcare Spending: International Context, National Trends, … · 2018-10-16 · U.S. Healthcare Spending: International Context, National Trends, and Getting to High- Value

+ Summary

Hypotheses unlikely to explain difference: Primary care/specialist mix Overutilization

High costs driven primarily by: Administrative costs High prices

We can still save money by reducing quantity

+ Value-based payments in hospitals

Readmission rates have fallen about 2.5% About 2/3 of that is due to coding

Some (weak) evidence that it made mortality worse Impact overall quite controversial

The findings are mixed For medical conditions: no change in spending or quality For surgical conditions: associated with decreases in spending and

small quality improvements 4%-20% decrease in per-episode spending for joint replacement

Why? Different spending patterns Different services provided in post-acute settings Different types of patients

How are they doing? Two alternative views: McWilliams et al. consistently find 2-5% savings, by cohort: 2012: 4.9%

2013: 3.5% 2014: 1.6%

Impact on quality? A few positive changes in pt experience, little on outcomes

All the savings are in physician-led ACOs

+ A summary of where we have been

ACA spurred LOTS of activity

Some of it is making a real difference

Much of it has focused on quantity Medicare led

Prices are fixed Relative prices are not…

Page 51: U.S. Healthcare Spending: International Context, National Trends, … · 2018-10-16 · U.S. Healthcare Spending: International Context, National Trends, and Getting to High- Value

+ What’s next?

Push towards price transparency

Payment Reform: More risk to providers Bundled payments, ACOs, Capitation

More risk to payers (from CMS): MA

More engagement of consumers Tiering coming to Medicare?

Some efforts on prices But probably not enough

Page 52: U.S. Healthcare Spending: International Context, National Trends, … · 2018-10-16 · U.S. Healthcare Spending: International Context, National Trends, and Getting to High- Value

Page 53: U.S. Healthcare Spending: International Context, National Trends, … · 2018-10-16 · U.S. Healthcare Spending: International Context, National Trends, and Getting to High- Value

+ The future of MA healthcare

Value-based care is important Promote more bundles Promote more ACOs Intensively study which models work and don’t – and adjust

accordingly

Value-based strategies not nearly enough

We must deal with the 800 pound gorilla: prices Price regulation versus competition
