Consumerism In Healthcare Primary Trends Examined

Healthcare consumerism, in the forms of plan design, transparency, medical/lifestyle programs and incentives, technology, web portals, and other related initiatives, continues to experience evolution and growth that significantly shape the overall delivery of healthcare benefits and services. In this ongoing era of health reform, stakeholders must also give heightened importance to factoring consumerism into the equation as they position themselves going forward. Healthcare Web Summit, MCOL and Payers & Providers jointly sponsored a survey of healthcare professionals on health care consumerism issues during March. An exclusive report on the survey findings follows. Participants were asked to respond to three items: 1. Please indicate your perspective 2. Please numerically rank these typical components of Consumerism according to their value from your perspective. (Rank 1 through 5 with 1 = highest value and 5=lowest value) Price and Quality Transparency Account Based Plans (HSA/HRA/FSA) Wellness Incentive Programs Web Based Patient Health Records for Consumers Retail Offerings of Health Plans/Healthcare

3. To what degree are the successes of health care consumerism initiatives dependent upon provisions of the Affordable Care Act? Key findings: When asked to rank price and quality transparency, account based plans, wellness incentive programs, web based patient health records for consumers and retail offerings of health plans/healthcare as 1 through 5, price and quality transparency had the highest average weighted rank at 1.84. A majority (56.5%) of respondents ranked price and quality transparency as having the highest value from their perspective. This trend continued when broken down by respondent organization category with 55.8% of purchasers, 51.4% of providers and 64.3% of vendor or others ranking this component of having the highest value.

Perceived

When ranking account based plans respondents did not rank them with as high a value as the previous component though it did have the second highest average weighted rank at 2.93. A plurality of respondents (30.6%) gave this component a rank of 3. Those who categorized themselves as purchasers or vendor/other were more likely to rank account based plans with a higher value than providers. Over 70% of both purchasers and vendor/others ranked account based plans as 3 or higher while only 56.8% of providers did so. The average weighted rank of wellness incentive programs was only .01 higher than account based plans at 2.94. As with the previous component a plurality (36.1%) of respondents ranked wellness programs as 3. A low amount of respondents (11.1% for each) ranked this component as either high (1) or low (5). When broken down by respondent category there was variation on the value placed on this component. Almost 20% of providers but less than 5% of purchasers ranked this component as having the highest value. Over 40% of both purchasers and providers ranked this component as a 3 while less than 20% of vendor/others did. Respondents did not place a very high value on web based health records, 63% of respondents rated it as either a 4 or 5. The weighted average rank for this component was 3.62. There was not significant variation when broken down by respondent category, with trends staying constant across the three categories. Retail offerings of health plans/healthcare had the lowest weighted average rank at 3.69. This component had the most variation among respondent categories. Almost 50% of purchasers gave this component the lowest valued rank while just over 25% of vendor/others did the same. Less than 5% of purchasers and 13.5% of providers ranked this component as a 3 while over 33% of vendor/others did.

Respondents did not feel strongly about whether the success of health care consumerism initiatives depended on provisions of the Affordable Care Act (ACA). Just under a majority (47.3%) of respondents thought that consumerism initiatives success somewhat depended on the ACA. The amount of respondents who thought that initiatives were highly dependent or not very dependent on the ACA were close with 27.3% thinking they were highly dependent and 25.5% thinking they were not very dependent, less than a 2% difference.

When broken down by respondent category there was no significant variation among those who thought initiatives were highly dependent on the ACA with just over a quarter of respondents in each categorizing answering as such. There was variation by category for those who saw initiative as being somewhat or not very dependent on the ACA. Over 57% of providers thought that consumerism initiatives were somewhat dependent while only 35% of vendor/others did. 38% of vendor/others thought that consumerism initiatives were not very dependent on the ACA while only 17% of providers though so.

Health care costs per employee averaged $10,982 last year, and is expected to rise to $11,664 in 2012. Employees share of costs increased 9.3% during this period, to $2,764. This amount represents a 40% increase in costs from just five years ago, as compared to a 34% increase for employers over the same time period. For 2012, retirees not yet eligible for Medicare can expect to pay an average of $4,226 per year for single-only coverage and $10,500 for family coverage.

In Brief
DMHC Orders Kaiser To Cover Physical And Related Therapies
The Department of Managed Health Care has ordered Kaiser Foundation Health Plan to cease and desist from denying enrollees access to physical, occupational and speech therapy. According to the DMHC, it has received more than 100 complaints from Kaiser enrollees who had been denied such services. Kaiser had claimed the enrollees did not have a physical condition linked to surgery, trauma or a congenital condition. However, California law regarding health maintenance organizations considers such services to be medically necessary. Kaiser Health Plans policy to deny physical, occupational, and speech therapy services for nonphysical conditions is not permitted under the Knox-Keene Act, said Anthony Manzanetti, DMHCs chief of enforcement.

Language Possible Enrollment Barrier

110,000 Could Pass on Health Coverage Subsidies
Language barriers may keep more than 100,000 Californians eligible for insurance subsidies from purchasing coverage after the bulk of healthcare reform is implemented in 2014, according to a new study. Researchers at the UCLA Center for Health Policy Development, UC Berkeley and the California Pan-Ethnic Health Network have concluded there are more than 1 million adult Californians with limited English proficiency (not their native language and are uncomfortable speaking it) eligible for tax subsidies toward the purchase of coverage on the states health insurance exchange. Thats only about one-seventh of Californians who are not proficient with English statewide, but they represent about 40% of all residents expected to be eligible for the subsidies. The vast majority are Spanish speakers, but there are large subgroups who speak Chinese, Vietnamese and Korean. The subsidies, part of the Affordable Care Act, provide individuals with potentially thousands of dollars in tax credits a year to provide an incentive to purchase healthcare coverage if it isnt already offered by their employer. A use of simulation software by the researchers to predict enrollment trends concluded only 42% of those eligible enrollees with limited English proficiency will likely purchase coverage, or about 420,000 in total. The evidence suggests that Californians who do not speak English very well are at a disadvantage in terms of accessing healthcare reform programs, said Daphna Gans, a research scientist at the UCLA Center for Health Policy Research and the lead author of the study. Observers say Californians who struggle with English would face issues enrolling in the states Health Benefits Exchange. If you go to the website to enroll and its in a language you dont understand, you basically will close it immediately, said Ellen Wu, executive director of the Pan Ethnic Health Network. If language barriers are lifted, researchers predict enrollment among those with limited English proficiency will rise by more than a quarter and reach 53%, or about 530,000. Simply translating marketing and applications materials is not expected to suffice. There needs to be a multidisciplinary outreach to this community, Gans said. An example would be proactive communications by promotores, advocates who work in Latino neighborhoods and promote various healthcare options and services in Spanish. Both Gans and Wu indicated that officials with the nascent Health Benefits Exchange are committed to aggressively marketing its services in linguistically and culturally sensitive manner. The exchange board seems to be very committed to target these populations, and try and make the transition process from current to future programs smoother, Gans said. Peter V. Lee, the exchanges executive director, was out of town on Wednesday and not immediately available for comment.

In Brief
Minneapolis Named Nations Healthiest City
The metropolitan area surrounding Minneapolis recently ranked as the healthiest in the nation on Forbes magazines annual ranking of fit cities. The rankings are based on the American College of Sports Medicines Fitness Index. The report grades 50 metro areas across the country and creates a composite score based on factors including preventive health behaviors, prevalence of chronic diseases, access to care, policies supporting physical activity and crime levels. Minneapolis ranked first because of its benefits like low poverty and unemployment levels, low prevalence of chronic conditions like cardiovascular disease, asthma and diabetes. They also have abundant parkland and playgrounds, farmers markets and public transportation. The residents tend to be physically active, have lower smoking rates and are apt to bike or walk to work. Other Midwestern metro areas ranking in the top 50 include: Denver at 5, Cincinnati, 14; Milwaukee, 21; Kansas City, Kan., 22; St. Louis, 26; Chicago, 28; and Indianapolis, 45.

For Diabetes, Meds May Be Cheaper

Making Lifestyle Changes Actually Costs More
Lifestyle intervention may be more successful at staving off Type II diabetes than metformin, but medication has been found to be more cost effective. This was the conclusion of a study by Bill Herman, MD, of the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. Herman and colleagues performed a follow-up analysis of the universitys Diabetes Prevention Program and presented the information at this years conference for the American Diabetes Association. A 10-year follow up of participants found that the development of Type II diabetes was reduced by 58% with lifestyle intervention and 31% with metformin. Lifestyle changes also showed a much greater quality of life improvement than did the medication. But these interventions dont come without a price. Over a decade, lifestyle intervention cost $4,500 per patient, treatment with metformin cost $2,600. When cost reductions and expenses were totaled, the lifestyle changes cost about $1,500, while metformin saved $30 per person over 10 years. The data came from the DPP, which included more than 3,000 overweight or obese individuals with impaired glucose tolerance. Patients were split into three groups, one taking a placebo, the second taking metformin, and the third receiving education on diet, exercise and behavioral modification. Cost is an important factor when considering the impact of diabetes. Almost 26 million people in the United States have diabetes, diagnosed or undiagnosed, 95 percent of whom have Type II. Diabetes has been linked with blindness, heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure, blindness and is the leading cause of kidney failure in the United States. According to the American Diabetes Association, $1 in every $10 health dollars spent in the United States goes toward diabetes care.

Cap On Insurance Benefits Lifted For Millions Of Americans

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has estimated that 105 million Americans no longer have lifetime limits on their health insurance because of prohibitions on spending limits in the Affordable Care Act. According to HHS, approximately 95 million of these people had employersponsored plans; the rest had private insurance. Individuals on the private market were more likely to have benefit limits, with 89 percent having some sort on their plans in 2009, according to statistics from the Kaiser Family Foundation. The mandate to get rid of lifetime limits has impacted approximately 28 million children, with the remainder of the 105 million split almost equally between adult men and women. Midwestern states with the largest number of individuals whose plans have changed include Illinois, with 4.6 million; Ohio, 4.1 million; Michigan, 3.5 million; and Indiana with 2.2 million.

A Closer Look At The Safety Net

Report Makes Post-ACA Recommendations
A report released last week by the Commonwealth Fund Commission on a High Performance Health System offers recommendations to sustain and support safety net hospitals facing changes under health reform. Deborah Bachrach and colleagues at Manatt Health Solutions created the report with the anticipation that low Medicaid payments, an influx of Medicaid patients and a reduction in disproportionate share funding under the Affordable Care Act may bring challenges to the already-strapped institutions. Medicaid is currently the largest payer at safety net hospitals, according to the report. In 2014, the number of Medicaid patients will increase an estimated 17 million of those currently uninsured will become Medicaid recipients. The report, Toward a High Performance Health Care System for Vulnerable Populations: Funding for Safety Net Hospitals, offers ways to reward performance at and target public dollars toward safety net hospitals. One of the commissions recommendations is to increase Medicaid rates to safety net hospitals that meet quality targets and deliver accessible, reasonably priced care. While targeting enhanced Medicaid payments to hospitals based on their safety net status is far from ideal, the report said, they do contend that tying payments to performance and improvement targets, would offer a means to address quality and access concerns at a time when state Medicaid rates are otherwise low and state resources limited.
