  1. Assembly Bill (AB) 85 Redirection of 1991 Realignment Los Angeles County

  2. Background California elected to implement a state-run Medicaid Expansion for Health Care Reform. Therefore, beginning in 2014, it assumed that county’s costs associated with the indigent population will decrease and the state’s costs will increase. Assembly Bill (AB) 85 lays out a process by which a portion of the 1991 Health Realignment Funds will be redirected to support Social Services programs. Los Angeles County

  3. Background LA County formula, should they not choose to redirect 60% of health realignment, is addressed in Section 17612.5 Redirection to begin effective January 2014 Los Angeles County

  4. Overview LA County has 2 options for determining the redirected amount. LA County must inform DHCS of tentative decision by 11/1/13 May adopt a resolution by 1/22/14 • 60% of 1991 Health Realignment Funds • + • 60% of Maintenance of Effort • MOE is capped at 25.9% of the total value of LA County’s 2010-11 health realignment allocation County Savings Determination Process (Formula) Lesser of: Revenues – Costs x.80 (.70 in 13/14) Or County Indigent Care Realignment (Health realignment amount x health realignment indigent care percentage) If LA County does not adopt a resolution or fails to inform DHCS of their chosen option, then the calculation is 62.5% of County Realignment funds and 62.5% of the MOE. Counties that select the 60%/40% option may later petition the Health Care Funding Resolution Committee to elect the formula option. Los Angeles County

  5. County Savings Determination Process The purpose of the formula is to calculate the health care savings the county is experiencing as a result of health care reform. This is achieved by determining if the overall available revenues exceed the costs the county is incurring (subject to a cost containment limit). Revenues • Total Revenues • Imputed county low-income health amount (county subsidy) Costs • Total Costs County Indigent Care Health Realignment Amount • Health Realignment Amount X Health Realignment Indigent Care Percentage = MIN((SUM(1+2)-3)*.80 [or] County Indigent Care Health Realignment Amount) *In 2013/14, the savings percentage will be .70 Los Angeles County

  6. Revenues Los Angeles County

  7. Definitions – Total Revenue • Sum of revenue paid to LA County Department of Health Services (DHS) • Special Local Health Funds • Assessments and fees for health services • 91% of Tobacco Settlements (Less bond payments and cost of securitization) • Determined based on its central accounting system known as eCAPs as of November 30 of the following fiscal year • Type A and Type B payer revenues Los Angeles County

  8. Type A Payers • Medicare • Commercial health insurance • In-home support services providers Los Angeles County

  11. Baseline Type A Payer Costs • Average of the costs of services provided to Type A payer patients rendered in each historical year (FY08/09-11/12) • Find the actual costs for each historical fiscal year • Take the average in 1. Los Angeles County

  12. Type A Adjustment • Type A Revenues are adjusted if: Step 1: Type A payer revenue for the fiscal year is less than the historical base Step 2: If Step 1 is met, to adjust, all of the following must be met for at least one of the specified Type A payers: • Type A payer revenue for FY < historical base • Type A payer costs for the FY < historical base trended using the blended CPI • Type A payer volume for the FY < historical base Los Angeles County

  13. Type A Adjustment - Calculation • If Step 2 is met, adjust according to Step 3 Step 3: • Calculate the percentage decrease in cost from baseline Type A payer cost as trended by the blended CPI, applied from FY 2010/11 to the subject FY. • Calculate the percentage decrease in volume base on adjusted patient days from baseline Type payer volume • Average 1 and 2 above and apply this percentage to the historical base Type A payer revenue (calculated and applied separately for each Type A payer) Los Angeles County

  14. Type B Payers • Patient care revenues • State payments for patient financial services workers • Other federal payers (excluding federal grants, Medicare and Medicaid) Los Angeles County

  15. Historical Base Type B Revenues • Calculate actual revenue received for each historical year • Average the historical year amounts Los Angeles County

  17. Definition – Adjusted Patient day LA county DHS’ total number of patient days X (Total gross revenue for all services to all patients / Sum of LA county DPHs gross inpatient revenue) • Excludes contract or out-of-network clinics or hospitals Los Angeles County

  22. Cost Containment Limit • IF– the subject years actual indigent program costs exceed the calculated cost containment limit for the year THEN the cost containment limit is used for the calculation OR adjustments to the cost containment limit can be sought • If the cost containment limit is applied, a reduction the revenues in the formula is also applied. The reduction to revenues is calculated as 50% of the amount that actual costs exceed the cost containment limit. Los Angeles County

  23. Adjustments to the Cost Containment Limit • If adjusted patient days of service in subject FY is in excess of 10% of those in the base year, the excess days will be multiplied by the cost per adjusted patient day for the base year and added to the trended base year amount. • Electronic health records and related implementation and infrastructure • Costs related to state or federally mandated activities, requirements, or benefit changes • Costs resulting from a court order settlement Los Angeles County
