FY 2000: Produce $66 million in first year savings through Periodic Roll Management

FY 1999: Produce $19 million in first year savings through Periodic Roll Management

Performance

Results

The methodology for measuring savings from compensation benefit adjustments and terminations was revised to coincide with PRM's integration into permanent operations.

PRM savings for performance reporting were previously derived by comparing total FECA program benefit reductions in all cases, including PRM cases, in the measurement year, to total reductions produced in the baseline year but not counting PRM case reductions.

Note: Decisions on cases under PRM review often result in adjustment or termination of benefits. On a case-by-case basis, and beginning with the first payment cycle after the benefit action, savings are scored for the remainder of the measurement (fiscal) year, producing the "first-year" savings for the case. First-year savings for all cases in the measurement year are then combined producing the total first-year savings. The cumulative sum of first-year savings is matched against the goal as stated for each measurement year.

2.2F

FY 2000: In the FECA program, save an additional $5 million over FY 1999 compared to amounts charged through full-year implementation of fee schedules for inpatient hospital and pharmacy services; save $1.5 million compared to amounts charged for physician services through the Correct Coding Initiative.

FY 1999: Save 19% annually versus amounts billed for FECA medical services.

Performance

Results

The original goal was to save $10.67 million against amounts billed for inpatient hospital and pharmacy services subject to new fee schedules, and through specialized review for improper billings for physician/professional services.

The new fee schedules (which became effective January 1999) alone exceeded the target by 54%, produced $16.5 million in savings.

Implementation of medical bill review was delayed and the full complement of Medical Coding Specialists was not brought on board and trained until September 1999. No savings resulted from bill review.

As a result of its growing experience with cost control, OWCP revised the original savings goal by broadening it to include the results of physician/professional fee schedules which have been in effect for several years. This revision more fully reflects the impact of cost control on medical charges

The revised goal was to reduce total amounts billed for medical services by 19%. Application of all fee schedules in FY 1999 reduced billings by $122.9 million or 22%.

Average case costs for services paid for selected medical conditions adjusted for inflation and changes in industry practices.

Average cases costs for all cases receiving medical services after adjustment for inflation.

Fee Schedule Baseline: Amounts billed for drugs, hospital, and physician services in the measurement year.

Correct Coding Initiative (CCI) Baseline: Amounts billed for physician and other professional services.

Focus Review Baseline: Average annual cost per case per selected medical condition in FY 1998/FY 1999.

Note: In FY 2000, FECA will pilot Focus Reviews of a selected few types of medical conditions. The pilot will enable FECA to perfect the review technique and determine individual performance year targets beginning in FY 2001.

FY 2000: Each area of the country will be surveyed for all four types of construction at least every three years, and the resulting wage determinations validly represent locally prevailing wages/benefits. In FY 2000, implement scanning technology and develop knowledge management technology; and complete analysis of BLS data and decide whether a reengineering or reinvention approach will be pursued in FY 2001.

FY 1999: Each area of the country will be surveyed for all four types of construction at least every three years, and the resulting wage determinations validly represent locally prevailing wages/benefits. In FY 1999, implement new data collection form and automated printing and mailing process and test whether automation can increase the accuracy and timeliness of the survey process and wage determinations.

Performance

Results

• •BLS completed two fringe benefit pilot surveys (Jacksonville, FL and Tucson, AZ) in FY 1998. Two additional fringe benefit pilots surveys (Salt Lake City, UT and Toledo, OH) were conducted in FY 1999. BLS published the results of the Salt Lake City survey in the third quarter, and they expect to publish the results of the Toledo survey in the first quarter of FY 2000.
• •During the second quarter, BLS calculated Occupational Employment Statistics (OES) survey results for the construction industry in selected MSAs. These OES data are based on two-thirds of the full OES sample. Results from the full OES sample will not be available until the beginning of the third quarter of FY 2000.
• •A preliminary evaluation of the first three fringe benefit pilots and the two-thirds OES sample has been conducted. Although both surveys produced results by occupation for the construction industry as a whole, the surveys produced only a small amount of data broken down by type of construction. A more detailed final analysis of the BLS data will be conducted in FY 2000, after data from the full OES sample are available.

Also, Wage and Hour Division completed Davis-Bacon reengineering implementation objectives to:

• •Implement the new WD-10 and have the electronic version prepared for clearance OMB cleared the new aper WH-10 form during the fourth quarter, and the new form will be used for all future Davis-Bacon wage surveys. An electronic version of the WD-10 form has been drafted and will be submitted to OMB for clearance during FY 2000.
• •Test the efficiency and effectiveness of the new automated printing and mailing process using the Census Bureau. The new processes will be used for all future Davis-Bacon wage surveys.
• •Test a computer application which provides for the display of automated contractor information and associated WD-10s at the beginning of the business process to help analysts manage WD-10s during the entire cycle of collection, analysis and follow-up.
• •Test the imaging process. An imaging program has been developed to facilitate data entry from the imaged document. The program was tested with sample data and pilot tested with actual data during the fourth quarter as part of the Statewide survey of Colorado.
• •Implement a field test of the Computer Assisted Telephone Inquiry (CATI) system. A preliminary review of the hardware and telephony capabilities of the Wage and Hour regional offices has been conducted. A prototype CATI system, applying screen-based telephony technology utilizing the analysts's computer terminal to facilitate the processing to both incoming and outgoing calls, was successfully tested ruing the fourth quarter as part of the Colorado survey.
