Priorities Care managers fully integrated into practices Target PCMH interventions to patients from all participating payers ▫ Distribute multi-payer lists and dashboards ▫ Ensure care management for at risk members ▫ Use registry for proactive population management Focus on efficient and effective health care ▫ Avoid unnecessary services/hospitalizations ▫ Assess practice utilization patterns Ensure adequate clinic access to meet demands 12
How will CMS define success? 13 The tie to budget neutrality and ROI
Successes Champions abound; We have gained traction! Michigan is well-poised compared to other states despite its broad scale Hard-working, dedicated people Multi-payer Database Strong PCMH foundation 14 Challenges Success on cost, quality and utilization measures is key to sustainability Member lists vs. the population G and CPT code billing and “throughput” PO and practice infrastructure varies Many competing priorities MiPCT Brief Review: Balancing Successes and Challenges

MiPCT Post-Demonstration Funding and Sustainability Diane Marriott
What Does Sustainability Mean? To the Health Plan: Added value for their customers To the Practice: Maintaining and growing CM staffing, processes and roles To the PO: Payment reform for CM To the State and Patients: Servicing all patients, all payers 45
Sustainability Progress ▫Reduction of 4% in number of emergency room visits for MiPCT patients for ambulatory care-sensitive conditions from 2012 to 2013 ▫Addition of Priority Health brings payer participation from the largest plans in Michigan ▫CMS Complex Care Management proposal ▫Patient Advisory Council launched that offers the patient voices and input in program design and operations ▫ROI PO Subgroup financial modeling ▫ADT messaging and direct Care Manager member list distribution at no cost to POs ▫PCMH incorporation in SIM proposal 46
PO Primary Care Sensitive Emergency Department Use (Change from 1/1/12 to 12/31/12) For POs with Stat. Sig. Better Performance, Amt. of Change Over 12%---2 POs 8-12% POs 5-8% POs Under 5% --11 POs Overall, from 2012 to 2013, the MiPCT decreased avoidable emergency visits decreased almost 4%. No Improvement Improved (not stat. sig.)
CMS Complex Care Management Post-Demo Payment Proposal Good News! CMS Physician Fee Schedule included proposed codes for Complex Care Management quarterly payment beginning 1/1/2015. MiPCT submitted comments on this constructive development, focusing on: ▫Encouraging consideration of quarterly payments for moderate care management as well ▫Discouraging CMS from imposing patient financial responsibility for care management services ▫Recognizing alternative designations (e.g., PGIP PCMH) for medical home definition ▫Removing the requirement that the practice employ an advanced care nurse or PA (NP or PA) and streamlining requirements for electronic all-provider communication, annual patient consent, etc. ▫Offering to share our experience and input on payment rates
Payer Sustainability Statement "As participating Michigan Primary Care Transformation Project (MiPCT) payers, we recognize the value of care management embedded in primary care practices. We applaud CMS' recent payment proposal to continue funding for complex care coordination after the December 31, 2014 ending period of the demonstration project. We support continuation of this model of care to produce improvements in patient experience, quality and the value of care. We look forward to working together with the partnership of the MiPCT, the plans and the health care providers in improving Michigan's primary care system."
We ARE the MiPCT! We can do this! We can make care better!
