Purpose of Briefing. Provide information on calculation and drivers of MHS's primary efficiency metric Medical Cost per Prime Equivalent LifeAlso known as PMPM/PMPY (per member per month/year)Explain metricDefine PMPM/PMPYUnderstand some common pitfalls when first reviewing metricUnderstand how metric is calculatedDissect drivers of yearly increase from FY04 to FY05.

1. Per Member Per Month (PMPM) Metric Methodologies
3.
4. What is PMPM/PMPY? The accumulated medical costs associated with enrollees by enrollment site each month
Inpatient, Outpatient, Pharmacy, Ancillary
Wherever DHP care is received
Direct Care, Purchased Care, TRICARE Mail Order Pharmacy
Direct Care costs calculated at MTF where care is delivered but assigned to enrollment site
Divide total cost by number of enrollees adjusted for age/gender/beneficiary category
Reflects differences in underlying demographics
Done on a per person basis, not total volume
Only reflects cost for enrolled individuals
5. Some Potential Misconceptions PMPM metric is looking from an insurance point of view
We both manage enrollee utilization like an insurance company and produce care
So we have Enrollee Unit costs, and MTF Production Unit Costs
Enrollee cost are based entirely on my MTFs rates
Enrollee Direct Care Unit cost is not for your facility alone
MTF Production costs are just being applied to enrollees
MTF Production Unit costs are based on all care produced, and applied to enrollees based on amount used
If I reduce my enrollee utilization my MTF Production Unit costs automatically increase
Since MTF Production unit cost is based on all care, unit costs only rise if MTF overall production decreases
6. How PMPM is built Direct Care cost information is based on cost allocation algorithms
MTF Production Inpatient Unit Cost
Inpatient Cost per RWP
MTF Production Outpatient Unit Cost
Outpatient Cost per APG
Purchased Care based on claims data
Pharmacy costs are based on PDTS
Enrollee Equivalent Lives are based on DEERS adjusted for Age/Gender/Bencat
7. MTF Production Inpatient Unit Cost(Inpatient Cost per RWP) Cost of producing one weighted unit of care at each MTF
RWP is common weighted unit for MHS
Based on all care produced at MTF
This includes Active Duty, Prime, Standard, Tricare for Life
Total RWPs are summed for all categories of care
Expense data is from MEPRS
Inpatient is based on MEPRS A codes with step downs
Depreciation costs are then removed
Labor expense is based only on current month
All other expenses are based on Rolling 12 month
Total Expenses are divided by RWPs to get
MTF Production Inpatient Unit Cost
8. MTF Production Outpatient Unit Cost(Outpatient Cost per APG) Cost of producing one weighted unit of care
APG is used to associate Ancillary with encounter
Based on all care produced at MTF
This includes Active Duty, Prime, Standard, Tricare for Life
Total APGs are summed for all categories of care
Expense data is from MEPRS
Inpatient is based on MEPRS B codes with step downs
Depreciation costs and pharmacy are then removed
Labor expense is based only on current month
All other expenses are based on Rolling 12 month
Total Expenses are divided by APGs to get
MTF Production Outpatient Unit Cost
9. MTF Production Unit Cost
11. DACH Enrollee Inpatient Care
12. Equivalent Lives Developed to adjust for health utilization differences across populations
By adjusting enrolled population, comparisons can be made across MTFs and Services
Initial adjustment done by DMIS age group, but problems quickly developed for large age groupings
Relooked at all care provided and developed Age/Gender/Beneficiary Category adjustors
While this is an overall adjustment, it may not be appropriate for just one component of PMPM
(i.e. Inpatient/Outpatient/Pharmacy)
13. PMPM Eq Lvs – Other Males
14. Enrollees vs. Equivalent Lives
16. PMPM Calculation Example
17. Drivers of PMPM Utilization of Services
Average Cost of Services
Enrollee Direct Care Unit Cost
Enrollee Purchased Care Unit Cost
Direct/Purchased Care Market Share
18. Analysis How much of total increase is driven by each factor
Contribution by driver is a function of the increase in driver and contribution toward total PMPM
For example, a driver that had a large increase but was only a small percentage of PMPM may not contribute much to overall increase
19. FY04/05 Prime Enrollee PMPY Comparison
20. FY04/05 Prime Enrollee PMPY Cost Increases by Care Categories
21. FY04/05 Prime Enrollee PMPY Cost Increases by Utilization and Average Enrollee Unit Cost
22. MHS Prime Enrollee PMPY Increase Factors
23. Summary Utilization increased for all sectors after adjusting for Age/Gender/Bencat
Inpatient/Outpatient/Pharmacy
55% of Total Change
Direct Market Share declined
42% to 40% for inpatient
51% to 46% for outpatient
75% to 69% for Pharmacy
Drivers significantly different across enrollment service
Most likely different by enrollment site
