SummaryThe Congressional Budget Office (CBO) is a nonpartisan federal agency that, aligned with its mission to support the U.S. Congressional budget process, frequently analyzes policies affecting health care providers’ payment rates or their costs of providing care. Such policies can directly affect providers’ revenues by changing the administered prices for services covered by Medicare or by affecting the negotiated prices paid to providers by commercial insurers. CBO does not make policy recommendations. Rather, the agency’s role is to produce independent analyses of policy approaches and examine their implications for the federal budget and other related outcomes. Here, the authors describe a September 2022 report that was prepared on the basis of a congressional request. The agency reviewed three families of policies that are frequently mentioned as solutions for the growth in the negotiated prices paid in commercial plans: promoting competition among providers, promoting price transparency, and capping the level or growth rate of prices. The effects on prices expected within the first 10 years for each of the approaches considered would range from very small reductions if the price transparency policies were adopted (0.1%–1.0%) to small reductions if the competition policies were adopted (more than 1.0%–3.0%) and moderate (more than 3.0%–5.0%) to large (more than 5.0%) reductions if both the level and growth of prices were capped. Those estimates, although uncertain, represent CBO’s best assessments of the effects of the policies using evidence from the research literature and the most recently available data. CBO projects that, under current law, commercial insurers would pay $1.5 trillion in claims from hospitals and physicians in 2032. If hospital and physician prices fell by 1%, premiums for commercial health insurance plans could be reduced by a total of $13 billion in that year. Reductions in premiums in turn would reduce the federal budget deficit by increasing tax revenues (because the amount of premiums excluded from taxable income would be lower) and by reducing subsidies for health insurance for the self-employed and people eligible for subsidies under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. As a result, the federal government’s subsidies for commercial health insurance premiums would be reduced by $4.8 billion in 2032 or 0.2% of the budget deficit projected for that year under current law. The authors did not project the effects of the policies on outcomes other than prices, premiums, and the federal budget — such as access to care, quality of care, and providers’ costs — because of limited and conflicting evidence and because the policies’ effects on prices were generally small. CBO recently issued a call for more research on the effects of policies significantly affecting providers’ revenues on other outcomes that would help the agency better analyze the effect of related policies in the future.
国会预算办公室(CBO)是一个无党派的联邦机构,其使命是支持美国国会预算程序,经常分析影响医疗保健提供者支付率或提供医疗保健成本的政策。这些政策可以通过改变医疗保险所涵盖服务的管理价格或通过影响商业保险公司支付给供应商的协商价格,直接影响供应商的收入。国会预算办公室不提出政策建议。相反,该机构的作用是对政策方法进行独立分析,并检查其对联邦预算和其他相关结果的影响。在这里,作者描述了一份根据国会要求编写的2022年9月报告。该机构审查了三组经常被提及的解决商业计划中协商支付价格增长的政策:促进供应商之间的竞争,提高价格透明度,限制价格水平或增长率。所考虑的每一种方法在前10年内对价格预期的影响将从非常小的下降(如果采用价格透明度政策(0.1%-1.0%))到小的下降(如果采用竞争政策(超过1.0%-3.0%)和适度的下降(超过3.0%-5.0%)到大的下降(超过5.0%),如果价格的水平和增长都受到限制。这些估计虽然不确定,但代表了国会预算办公室利用研究文献和最新数据的证据对政策效果的最佳评估。国会预算办公室预计,根据现行法律,到2032年,商业保险公司将向医院和医生支付1.5万亿美元的索赔。如果医院和医生的价格下降1%,那一年商业健康保险计划的保费总额将减少130亿美元。保费的减少反过来又会通过增加税收(因为从应税收入中扣除的保费金额会减少)和减少对自营职业者和根据《患者保护和可负担医疗法案》有资格获得补贴的人的医疗保险补贴来减少联邦预算赤字。因此,到2032年,联邦政府对商业医疗保险费的补贴将减少48亿美元,相当于现行法律规定的当年预算赤字的0.2%。作者没有预测政策对价格、保费和联邦预算以外的结果的影响——比如获得医疗服务的机会、医疗质量和提供者的成本——因为证据有限和相互矛盾,而且政策对价格的影响通常很小。国会预算办公室最近发布了一项呼吁,要求对那些显著影响医疗服务提供者收入的政策的影响进行更多的研究,以帮助该机构更好地分析未来相关政策的影响。

What Does the Inflation Reduction Act Mean for Patients and Physicians? 降低通货膨胀法案对病人和医生意味着什么?
Pub Date : 2023-09-20 DOI: 10.1056/cat.23.0138

SummaryThe debate around prescription drug measures in the recently passed U.S. Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), which limit some patients’ out-of-pocket costs, has not fully addressed their effect on physicians and patients via their effect on payers. Reducing patients’ costs for prescription drugs under Medicare Part D will improve their adherence, health, and financial security. However, payers use cost sharing to negotiate lower prices, and a payer that reduces cost sharing without increasing utilization management may not be able to keep premiums low enough to keep its business viable. Therefore, the IRA provisions will increase Part D payers’ reliance on other ways to manage drug costs, such as prior authorization and/or requirements to try less expensive drugs first. These methods impose paperwork burdens on physicians and may delay or change the care received by patients. The authors discuss these features of the IRA and outline priorities for leaders who aim to further value-based care more generally.
在最近通过的美国通货膨胀减少法案(IRA)中,关于处方药措施的争论,限制了一些患者的自付费用,并没有完全解决他们对医生和患者的影响,通过他们对付款人的影响。减少患者在医疗保险D部分下的处方药费用将提高他们的依从性、健康和财务安全。然而,支付方使用成本分担来协商更低的价格,而减少成本分担而不增加使用管理的支付方可能无法将保费保持在足够低的水平以保持其业务可行。因此,IRA条款将增加D部分付款人对其他方式管理药品成本的依赖,例如事先授权和/或要求首先尝试较便宜的药物。这些方法给医生增加了文书工作的负担,并可能延迟或改变患者接受的护理。作者讨论了IRA的这些特征,并概述了旨在进一步以价值为基础的护理的领导者的优先事项。

Vaccinating Health Care Supply Chains Against Market Failure: The Case of Civica Rx 为医疗保健供应链接种疫苗以防止市场失灵:以西维卡为例

SummaryThis article focuses on the value of introducing novel business models into health care to address market failures that are hurting people — delving deeply into learning from real-world examples within the generic drug supply chain and its failure to supply critical medicines reliably at a low cost. Some problems in health care are so complex that traditional private-sector or governmental interventions alone have not been able to solve the problems. In an original response to ongoing generic drug shortages, in 2018, seven U.S. health systems and three philanthropic organizations founded a novel not-for-profit drug manufacturer, Civica Rx, to address the issue. Civica is a new entrant in this supply chain and utilizes a new business model called a health care utility that prioritizes access over profit. The company has been scaled rapidly and now provides more than 75 critical medications that are most at risk for shortages to more than 55 health systems across the United States. This article provides the first empirical evidence of Civica’s effect on security and cost of supply for one of its member health systems by utilizing internal supply chain, pharmacy, and external market data between 2016 and 2022. Results show that Civica was able to improve generic drug access above the wholesaler model. Using data related to 55 Civica orders of 20 distinct products between 2020 and 2022, the authors estimate Civica’s fulfillment of its contractually guaranteed volume at 96% (95% confidence interval [CI] = 92%–100%), whereas data on 302 wholesale orders for the same products over the same period estimate the wholesaler order fulfillment rate at 86% (95% CI = 82%–90%); the difference between these rates is statistically significant (P = 0.03). In addition, through its reserve supply of product, Civica offered a product access benefit of a further 43% above the Civica-guaranteed minimum viable volume floor. Wholesaler prices, at the order level, were estimated to be on average 46% above the Civica price for the same product in the same year (95% CI = 27%–64%, N = 302), with a P value of the difference of less than 0.001. However, through optimizing its wholesaler orders by buying more volume when prices were low from the 62 different non-Civica manufacturers, this closed the actual achieved cost-savings gap between the wholesalers and Civica to 2.7% in aggregate, with Civica still being the lower-cost option.
本文重点介绍了在医疗保健领域引入新商业模式的价值,以解决伤害人们的市场失灵问题——深入研究了仿制药供应链中的现实案例,以及仿制药未能以低成本可靠地供应关键药物。保健方面的一些问题非常复杂,仅靠传统的私营部门或政府干预措施无法解决这些问题。2018年,作为对持续的仿制药短缺的最初回应,7家美国卫生系统和3家慈善组织成立了一家新的非营利性药品制造商Civica Rx,以解决这一问题。Civica是这个供应链的新进入者,它采用了一种新的商业模式,称为医疗保健公用事业,优先考虑获取而不是利润。该公司规模迅速扩大,目前向美国超过55个卫生系统提供超过75种最容易短缺的关键药物。本文利用2016年至2022年间的内部供应链、药房和外部市场数据,首次提供了Civica对其成员医疗系统的安全性和供应成本影响的经验证据。结果表明,Civica能够在批发商模式之上提高仿制药的可及性。使用与2020年至2022年间20种不同产品的55份Civica订单相关的数据,作者估计Civica的合同保证量的履约率为96%(95%置信区间[CI] = 92%-100%),而同一时期同一产品的302份批发订单的数据估计批发订单履约率为86% (95% CI = 82%-90%);这些比率之间的差异具有统计学意义(P = 0.03)。此外,通过其产品储备供应,Civica提供了比Civica保证的最低可行容量下限高出43%的产品访问优惠。批发价格,在订单水平上,估计在同一年相同产品的Civica价格平均高出46% (95% CI = 27%-64%, N = 302), P值差异小于0.001。然而,通过优化批发商订单,在价格较低的时候从62家不同的非Civica制造商那里购买更多的数量,这将批发商和Civica之间的实际成本节约差距缩小到2.7%,而Civica仍然是成本较低的选择。

Critical Care Anywhere: A Novel Emergency Critical Care Consult Service in a Rural Health Network 随时随地的重症监护:农村卫生网络中一种新型的紧急重症监护咨询服务

SummaryIn areas with limited access to critical care services, the intensivist’s reach can be expanded by removing the silo of the ICU and providing care wherever the patient is located. The University of Vermont Health Network includes a tertiary care center, two community hospitals, and three critical access hospitals, and often experiences limited ICU bed availability. The community hospitals have ICU services; however, only the tertiary site has consistent staffing for many subspeciality services. For example, the University of Vermont Medical Center is the only Vermont hospital to offer inpatient dialysis services or continuous electroencephalogram. The tertiary center ICU beds can be occupied by patients with brief ICU needs, but who remain in the ICU due to constraints in system throughput. The critical care transition (CCT) service was created in October 2022 to provide critical care consults for patients outside of the ICU. CCT serves the tertiary care ED and hospital wards, and provides peer-to-peer support for emergency physicians at the rural network EDs via telehealth. Dual-boarded emergency medicine/critical care medicine (EM/CCM) physicians provide the consults and offer procedural assistance within the tertiary care site. By increasing this access to critical care consults — independent of patient location — the long-term goals are to reduce short (<24-hour) ICU admissions, reduce the rates of transfer declines to the ICU due to capacity, decrease the time to evaluation by the intensivist for critically ill patients, and improve patient-centered measures of quality, such as inter-facility transfers and mortality. Short-term measures of success included demonstration of value and sustainability through either cost avoidance or revenue generation, favorable staff satisfaction evaluated via surveys, and successful deployment of telehealth to support rural network providers. The authors present the pilot phase of this care delivery model in a rural setting. Work is ongoing to expand and improve the ways in which critical care can be effectively delivered where and when needed. The initial 9 months of coverage, through August 2023, suggest improved access to ICU care, mitigation of avoidable high-cost services, and positive feedback from staff in the management of complex patients. The service, which started with just two EM/CCM physicians (limited, sporadic shifts, 60% full-time equivalent [FTE]) was approved in April 2023 for full-time staffing of one shift per day (2.3 FTEs) with a goal to continue data collection for evaluation of long-term objectives, continued rapid cycle improvement testing to increase patient volumes, and expanded use of telehealth opportunities throughout the network. This model of a peri-ICU consult service, focused on critical care anywhere, utilized the same physicians to concurrently support patients and providers outside of an ICU in multiple health care settings.

在获得重症监护服务的机会有限的地区,可以通过消除ICU的筒仓并在患者所在的任何地方提供护理来扩大重症监护医师的范围。佛蒙特大学健康网络包括一个三级护理中心,两个社区医院和三个关键医院,并且经常经历有限的ICU床位可用性。社区医院有重症监护服务;然而,只有三级站点在许多次专业服务方面有一致的人员配备。例如,佛蒙特大学医学中心是佛蒙特州唯一一家提供住院透析服务或连续脑电图的医院。三级中心ICU床位可以被有短期ICU需求的患者占用,但由于系统吞吐量的限制而留在ICU。重症监护过渡(CCT)服务于2022年10月创建,为ICU以外的患者提供重症监护咨询。有条件现金支助服务于三级保健急诊科和医院病房,并通过远程保健为农村网络急诊科的急诊医生提供点对点支持。急诊医学/重症医学(EM/CCM)双执业医师在三级医疗现场提供会诊和程序协助。通过增加这种获得重症监护咨询的机会(独立于患者的位置),长期目标是减少短期(<24小时)ICU住院,减少由于容量而减少转到ICU的比率,减少重症监护医师对重症患者的评估时间,并改善以患者为中心的质量指标,如设施间转移和死亡率。成功的短期衡量标准包括通过避免成本或创收来展示价值和可持续性,通过调查评估良好的工作人员满意度,以及成功部署远程保健以支持农村网络提供商。作者提出了试点阶段的这种护理交付模式在农村设置。目前正在努力扩大和改进在需要的时间和地点有效提供重症监护的方式。截至2023年8月的最初9个月的覆盖表明,重症监护室护理的可及性得到改善,可避免的高成本服务减少,以及管理复杂患者的工作人员的积极反馈。这项服务最初只有两名EM/CCM医生(有限的,零星的班次,60%的全职等效[FTE]),于2023年4月获得批准,每天全职配备一个班次(2.3个FTE),目标是继续收集数据以评估长期目标,继续进行快速周期改进测试以增加患者数量,并在整个网络中扩大远程医疗机会的使用。这种围ICU会诊服务模式侧重于任何地方的重症监护,利用相同的医生同时在多个医疗保健环境中为ICU外的患者和提供者提供支持。卫生系统已经证明了对复杂的卫生保健服务挑战实施创造性解决方案的可行性。

Baker","doi":"10.1056/cat.23.0154","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1056/cat.23.0154","url":null,"abstract":"SummaryIn areas with limited access to critical care services, the intensivist’s reach can be expanded by removing the silo of the ICU and providing care wherever the patient is located. The University of Vermont Health Network includes a tertiary care center, two community hospitals, and three critical access hospitals, and often experiences limited ICU bed availability. The community hospitals have ICU services; however, only the tertiary site has consistent staffing for many subspeciality services. For example, the University of Vermont Medical Center is the only Vermont hospital to offer inpatient dialysis services or continuous electroencephalogram. The tertiary center ICU beds can be occupied by patients with brief ICU needs, but who remain in the ICU due to constraints in system throughput. The critical care transition (CCT) service was created in October 2022 to provide critical care consults for patients outside of the ICU. CCT serves the tertiary care ED and hospital wards, and provides peer-to-peer support for emergency physicians at the rural network EDs via telehealth. Dual-boarded emergency medicine/critical care medicine (EM/CCM) physicians provide the consults and offer procedural assistance within the tertiary care site. By increasing this access to critical care consults — independent of patient location — the long-term goals are to reduce short (<24-hour) ICU admissions, reduce the rates of transfer declines to the ICU due to capacity, decrease the time to evaluation by the intensivist for critically ill patients, and improve patient-centered measures of quality, such as inter-facility transfers and mortality. Short-term measures of success included demonstration of value and sustainability through either cost avoidance or revenue generation, favorable staff satisfaction evaluated via surveys, and successful deployment of telehealth to support rural network providers. The authors present the pilot phase of this care delivery model in a rural setting. Work is ongoing to expand and improve the ways in which critical care can be effectively delivered where and when needed. The initial 9 months of coverage, through August 2023, suggest improved access to ICU care, mitigation of avoidable high-cost services, and positive feedback from staff in the management of complex patients. The service, which started with just two EM/CCM physicians (limited, sporadic shifts, 60% full-time equivalent [FTE]) was approved in April 2023 for full-time staffing of one shift per day (2.3 FTEs) with a goal to continue data collection for evaluation of long-term objectives, continued rapid cycle improvement testing to increase patient volumes, and expanded use of telehealth opportunities throughout the network. This model of a peri-ICU consult service, focused on critical care anywhere, utilized the same physicians to concurrently support patients and providers outside of an ICU in multiple health care settings.
