Where Innovation Is Tradition
Health Reform: Where is the Commonwealth
NOW?
Len M. Nichols, Ph.D.

The First Northern Virginia Health Summit
Springfield, VA

Review reform climate • Virginia voted for Obama, twice
(and Sens. Webb and Kaine, respectively)
• McDonnell elected Governor in 2009, Rs gained Senate split 20-20 after 2011 elections
• AG Cuccinelli first to file suit against ACA• 26 person VHRI appointed by Gov, led by Sec.
Hazel, recommended, in December 2010:State-run exchangePrepare for Medicaid expansion, delivery reform
11
Where Innovation Is Tradition
Post-Supreme Court decision on ACA• Created opportunity to oppose Obamacare in
the name of fiscal prudence for state• Argument undercut by 3 facts:
Feds would pay 100% of expansion population costs for 3 years, 90% thereafter
State would save money for 5-6 years, low cost thereafter compared to economic benefit to state
Chamber of Commerce of VA came to support Medicaid expansion
12
Where Innovation Is Tradition
De Facto Partnership on Exchange
• McDonnell decided, after SCOTUS, to NOT apply for establishment grant for exchange
• Governor also did not want to use the word “partnership” in deal with Feds
• Feds have signaled willingness to let Virginia BOI do “plan management,” one key function of partnership exchanges
13
Where Innovation Is Tradition
Medicaid possibilities• Created by Senate split and Gov.’s desire for
transportation signature achievement• Budget created Medicaid Innovation and
Reform Commission (MIRC)• MIRC has 12 members, 3/5 from each house
must vote YES to judgment that:ADEQUATE Medicaid reform progress is being
made to justify expansion in July of 2014
14
Where Innovation Is Tradition
Delegate Appointees to MIRC• Steve Landes-R (Albemarle, Augusta,
Rockingham)• Jimmie Massie-R (Henrico)• John O’Bannon-R (Henrico, city of Richmond)• Beverly Sherwood-R (Frederick, Warren, city of
Winchester)• Johnny Joannou-D (cities of Chesepeake,
Norfolk, Portsmouth, Suffolk)
15
Where Innovation Is Tradition
Senate Appointees to MIRC
• Walter Stosch-R (Henrico, city of Richmond• Emmet Hanger-R (Augusta, Greene, Madison,
Rockingham, cities of Staunton and Waynesboro)• John Watkins-R (Powhatan, Chesterfield, city of
Richmond)• Janet Howell-D (Fairfax, Arlington)• Louise Lucas-D (Portsmouth).
16
Where Innovation Is Tradition
Medicaid Reforms DMAS is pursuing
• Statewide managed care, including for ABD and foster children
• PACE expansion• Enhanced program integrity• Assessment requirements for CBHS• Dual eligibles financial alignment demonstration
17
Where Innovation Is Tradition
Medicaid reforms DMAS is planning
• Comprehensive 1115 waiver to allow more coordination, streamline with private insurance features emerging in state employee, FAMIS, exchange, etc.
• Use payment reform to leverage tight, high quality networks
• Coordinate purchasing/delivery reforms in public-private partnership
18
Virginia Health Innovation Center• Created in 2012 on 2010 recommendation of
Virginia Health Reform Initiative Advisory Council
• 501c3, housed at state Chamber of Commerce• Seed money from stakeholder associations• Surveyed providers, found 400 “examples,” now
has 6 task forces creating proposals for CMMIPCMH, integrating behavioral and acute, medication
management, care transitions, consumer engagement, bundles for babies
19
Where Innovation Is Tradition
Summary
• Medicaid expansion depends on 2013 elections
• Delivery reforms and some coverage expansion through federal exchange will proceed
• Can collaboration replace individualism in time?

Principles for Successful Partnerships
50
Maintaining Effective Partnerships
Build on what already exists and leverage existing resources to minimize the need for additional costs initially.
Look for opportunities for early successes and set realistic goals.
Listen to partners and be flexible. Find ways to collaborate on priorities that further
each other’s mission. Allow sufficient time for partnership to develop and
scale up gradually. Make capacity building and sustainability a core
strategy of the partnership. Partnership building is work, but rewarding!
