  4. WHY REPLACE FEE FOR SERVICE • Inefficient • Overutilization of diagnostic procedures • Unnecessary health care services • Wasteful payments • Inequity when comparing payments to private and government health care institutions And because...

  5. COUNTRIES WORLDWIDE HAVE BEGUN TO SHIFT TO CASE-BASED PAYMENT SOURCE: “Case-Based Hospital Payment Systems: A Step by Step Guide for Design and Implementation in Low and Middle Income Countries” – Cashin, et. al, USAID from the American People, December 2005

  6. General Objectives • To phase out fee-for-service payment mechanism • To simplify reimbursement rates understood by all sectors • To improve turnaround time of processing of claims

  7. Scope and Coverage • Case rate payments shall be uniformly applied to all medical conditions and procedures, regardless of member category, that are admitted in accredited health care institutions. • It shall also apply to all identified day surgeries and select procedures done in accredited health care institutions. • It shall also be applied to directly filed claims by members subject to compliance to rules on direct filing.

  8. WHAT WILL THE CIRCULAR CHANGE? The Fee-for-Service (FFS) system shall be replaced by CASE-BASED payment.

  9. WHAT WILL BE THE EFFECTS? • PhilHealth members shall have a much reduced out-of-pocket spending as compared to non-PhilHealth members IF Case Rate (CR) reimbursements is NOT construed as an add-on • All CR payments shall be paid to the account of the HCI. • HCI to pay health care professionals (HCP) not exceeding 30 calendar days • Credentialing and Privileging of doctors shall be delegated to the HCI • HCI shall withhold the expanded withholding tax, VAT, as per BIR policy

  10. WHAT WILL BE THE EFFECTS? • PhilHealth shall NO longer have tiered payments according to training or specialization of the doctors. • Direct filing by members shall only be allowed under certain circumstances. • NBB policy shall apply to ALL CASES, no longer confined to the initial 23. • Post Audit Monitoring is Institutionalized- replacing Pre-Audited Claims Processing

  11. HOW WERE THE RATES DETERMINED?

  12. Methodology • COSTING • using 2 sets of codes: • ICD 10 for medical conditions • RVS for procedures • GROUPING • condition of similar nature and management • were grouped together

  13. Methodology Condition Case Rates • Why AVPC? • Source of available data is PHIC dbase • No fair costing studies on PF and hospital charges

  14. Facility Fee: Average hospital fee per RVU +20% Professional Fee: RVU-based rates = RVU x 56 x1.5 Methodology Procedure Case Rates • Why RVU? • To make PF rate Commensurate to the level expertise of doctors and receive what they used to get from PHIC

  15. Methodology • Conditions of similar nature and management were grouped together • Review of grouping and rates • Objective: to validate the ICD codes within the group and rates of the group; to determine if effect of proposed policies to the grouping and vice versa; • Specialty societies were asked to submit a list of their most commonly claimed conditions and procedures • Comparison of IPT proposed rates with rates from specialty societies • Consultation with societies to verify/validate groups and identify admissions criteria • Adjust groups and rates based on consultation • Actuarial evaluation and projection on proposed case rates

  16. Support to Universal Health Care We, the (Name of Society), support the Philippine government thru the Department of Health (DOH) and the Philippine Health Insurance Corporation (PhilHealth) in the pursuit of Universal Health Care (UHC) known as KalusuganPangkalahatan (KP).  We understand that the achievement of KP is premised on an improved way of provider engagement through a more transparent and efficient provider payment mechanism that is the case rates payment scheme. We understand that case rates promote equity and financial risk protection especially through the implementation of the No Balance Billing (NBB) Policy for the poor under the Sponsored Program. In support of KP, we, the (Name of Society) support the implementation of case rates.
