ACA: Payment and Health System Reforms: Improving Outcomes and Lowering Cost • Payment reforms to support and stimulate system innovation • Primary care: enhance payment and “medical homes” • Accountable care organizations: provider networks accountable for outcomes and total costs • More “bundled” payments: total costs of care episode • Pay for value: reduced payment for infections, readmissions • Partnership with State Medicaid and Private Payers • Federal Innovation Center: support private and state initiatives • Investment in Information Systems & Data: guide and inform

State Policy Levers • ACA reforms provide a foundation + new resources, tools • State policy and care system leaders’ action to move forward • Key opportunities to build on momentum • Payer partnership with Medicare, Medicaid, private • Build innovation into state supported programs • Transparent all-payer data on quality and costs • Targets and benchmarks: populations and geographic areas • Strategic action for public health as well as delivery systems • Oversight to hold care systems and insurers accountable • Licensure and regulatory authority • Malpractice and other market reforms

State Innovation Models (SIM) Initiative • CMMI launched SIM in July 2012 to assist states in planning, designing, and testing new payment and delivery system models to advance broad health system transformation. • Emphasis on state flexibility while improving population health through multi-payer models that integrate public health and community resources.

Major interest in multi-payer initiatives and ongoing payment and delivery system reformsat the state level. • CO, MN, VT pioneering innovative models to align incentives, better coordinate care, reduce total costs, and improve outcomes • Convened Medicaid directors and federal officials from CMCS and CMMI to articulate major state barriers and potential federal actions to better support state efforts • CMMI awarded $300 million in State Innovation Model grants to support the development of multi-payer payment and delivery system transformation
