D
MedPAC Data Runs

As requested in its congressional mandate, the committee consulted with the Medicare Payment Advisory Committee (MedPAC) in its examination of pay for performance. Specifically, MedPAC was requested by the committee to perform some limited data runs on payments associated with the treatment of three clinical conditions: coronary artery disease, chronic heart failure, and diabetes. The following tables represent data submitted to the committee by MedPAC and include breakdowns of payments by condition, as well as aggregations for those beneficiaries who were treated for more than one of the three conditions. Additionally, the data include the number of unique physician identification numbers (UPINs) submitting claims per beneficiary, as well as the types of claims (evaluation and management, major surgery, other surgery, testing, and imaging).

These data were generated from the Medicare 5 percent Standard Analytic Files for 2003 (inpatient, outpatient, and physician/supplier). Beneficiaries living in the U.S. territories are not counted in this analysis, but beneficiaries under the age of 65 and those with claims from managed care and hospice care, decedents, and new entrants are included.

These data helped inform the committee as to the nature of the care being delivered to Medicare beneficiaries and the payments associated with this care. The committee used the data to derive conclusions regarding the attribution of care and the magnitude of potential reward levels.

The third installment in the Pathways to Quality Health Care series, Rewarding Provider Performance: Aligning Incentives in Medicare, continues to address the timely topic of the quality of health care in America. Each volume in the series effectively evaluates specific policy approaches within the context of improving the current operational framework of the health care system. The theme of this particular book is the staged introduction of pay for performance into Medicare. Pay for performance is a strategy that financially rewards health care providers for delivering high-quality care. Building on the findings and recommendations described in the two companion editions, Performance Measurement and Medicare's Quality Improvement Organization Program, this book offers options for implementing payment incentives to provide better value for America's health care investments.

This book features conclusions and recommendations that will be useful to all stakeholders concerned with improving the quality and performance of the nation's health care system in both the public and private sectors.
