Outcomes: DME Payment Trends • Medicare payments for DME in Miami peaked at more than $60 million per quarter in 2006 • In 2007, numerous federal oversight and administrative initiatives were launched by CMS, OIG and others, including the Medicare Fraud Strike Force in May 2007 • Miami-area DME payments decreased from over $40 million per quarter in 2007 -before the Strike Force’s first takedown- to $15 million per quarter in 2011 (e.g., approximately $100 million in annual savings thereafter) Sustained declines in Medicare payments have followed Federal enforcement and oversight action.
- 30. Outcomes: HHA Payment Trends • Medicare payments for Home Health care increased from 2006 until 2010 • In 2009, federal enforcement actions (initiated by the HEAT Strike Force case U.S. v. Zambrana in Miami), followed by the OEI HHA Outlier Payments report, influenced CMS to change Medicare’s HHA outlier coverage policy • Since 2010, Medicare payments for home health care nationally decreased by more than $300 million per quarter (e.g., more than $1 billion annually) – In Miami, payments for HHAs decreased by $100 million per quarter since peak in 2009 – In Dallas and McAllen, TX, payments for HHAs are down by $30 million per quarter – In Detroit, payments for HHAs decreased by $25 million per quarter since peak in 2009 Sustained declines in Medicare payments have followed Federal enforcement and oversight action.
