As the number of Medicare beneficiaries receiving care under at-risk capitation arrangements increases, the method for setting payment rates will come under increasing scrutiny. A number of modifications to the current adjusted average per capita cost (AAPCC) methodology have been proposed, including an adjustment for prior utilization. In this article, we propose use of a utilization adjustment that includes only hospitalizations involving low or moderate physician discretion in the decision to hospitalize. This modification avoids discrimination against capitated systems that prevent certain discretionary admissions. The model also explains more of the variance in per capita expenditures than does the current AAPCC.
随着接受风险人头付费安排下护理的医疗保险受益人数增加,设定支付费率的方法将受到越来越多的审查。有人提议对当前的调整后人均成本(AAPCC)方法进行一些修改,包括对既往利用率进行调整。在本文中,我们提议使用一种仅包括在住院决策中医生自由裁量权较低或适中的住院情况的利用率调整方法。这种修改避免了对防止某些可自由决定入院情况的人头付费系统的歧视。该模型也比当前的AAPCC解释了更多人均支出的差异。
