What We’ve Been Reading August 2011 •

The biggest story from inside the Beltway over the last month was the battle and eventual deal to raise the U.S. debt ceiling to avoid an impending August 2nd default. The Budget Control Act of 2011 will raise the debt ceiling by $2.1-$2.4 trillion, while reducing spending by approximately $2.1 trillion over the next decade. In an interesting post-deal analysis, Michael Hiltzik of the Los Angeles Times notes that despite the protracted negotiations over a broad spectrum of cost-cutting measures, healthcare was not raised as a primary issue. Some have found this especially concerning, considering the outsized portion of the Federal Budget currently allocated to healthcare spending, which is forecast to rise in the coming years. A recent article in The Economist, entitled “Looking to Uncle Sam” makes this point and goes further to suggest that Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) actuaries may be underestimating future increases in Medicare and Medicaid spending.



One potential reason CMS actuaries may be underestimating the future costs of Medicare and Medicaid relates to healthcare reform’s effect on employee benefits, and specifically, the 2014 switch to subsidized exchange policies. A recent report by McKinsey & Company estimates that approximately 30% of employers will stop offering employersponsored insurance (ESI) when this switch is made, as opposed to the 7% estimated by the Congressional Budget Office. An ESI exodus of this magnitude could cause substantial strain on an already robust government healthcare budget. Read about the study here.



While the U.S. government struggles with the issue of how to limit healthcare costs in coming years, an Accountable Care Organization (ACO) success story has surfaced out of California. Duke Helfand, of the Los Angeles Times writes that over the past year the partnership of Blue Shield of California, Catholic Healthcare West, and Hill Physicians Medical Group effectively worked together to cut approximately $20 million in costs. These savings were largely attributable to shorter stays and a drop in readmission rates, which are also indicative of higher quality of care. While news of this successful ACO has encouraged proponents of this model, others caution that patient care must always be the top priority, as opposed to cost cutting. Read the article here.



One strategy that has been commonly employed by ACOs to reduce costs is the increased use of hospitalists to manage inpatient care. Hospitalists are the fastest-growing segment of the physician market, and there are now approximately 30,000 nationwide. A recentlyreported study by Yong-Fang Kuo and Dr. James S. Goodwin from the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston reveals that the utilization of these physicians may actually lead to increased costs, despite shorter length of stay for patients cared for by hospitalists. This reported increase is attributable to higher readmission rates and shifting of costs to other providers, such as nursing homes. While this data appears interesting, it should be noted that these statistics do not take into account quality of care, and therefore may not be indicative of actual value ascribable to hospitalist care. Read about the report here.
