A group of providers agrees to accept a single prospective payment for all services in a well-defined unit of care Targeted units of care are selected based on: Ability to clearly define the unit of care operationally Financial and quality impact

In Suzy’s case the patient bundle could include: Claim for preliminary primary care visit Claim for orthopedic consult Claim for pre-surgical blood work Claim for surgeon Claim for anesthesiologist Claim for physical therapist Etc. In a Patient Bundle!

Cancel Reason Codes Cancel Reason Codes identify the reason for the cancellation of a patient bundle. Example: Patient death Service Category Codes Service Category Codes identify the role and pricing of the claim for which a rule applies. Examples: Physician, Hospital, Surgeon, Anesthesia, etc. Explanation Codes Explanation Codes identify details about how the claim is priced. Example: Included in Episode Supplemental Codes Supplemental Codes identify additional information about a claim. Examples: Readmission, surgical site infection, implantable device costs, etc.

For example, if a claim should have CPT4 codes in the range of 10000 through 20000 and also have an ICD diagnosis code in the range of 250-300, this set of conditions can be defined in a qualifier group. Qualifier groups can be shared by multiple episode definition rule sets Qualifier groups can be nested within another qualifier group Qualifier Group Header Includes the name of the qualifier group, effective dates and what condition should be followed when qualifiers of the same or different types are included in the same group (And/Or logic) Qualifier Details Specific qualifiers or qualifier groups included in the group For example: Patient age 26-99 AND Claim Format Institutional

Rules used to include claims in a patient bundle are available for configuration at the claim line or claim level Rules can be marked ‘complete’ in order to stop processing after a claim qualifies for that rule Episode definitions can be shared by Episodes Creation Rules The rule set including the qualifiers that define when a patient bundle is created. For example: Total Knee Replacement create when: Patient Age is 18 – 99, Qualifier Group – All Procedure Codes (CPT-4 Line is 2738 or 27447) OR (ICD-9 Procedure All is 81.54) AND Qualifier Group – Dx Codes (ICD-9 Diagnosis is from 715 to 715.99) Content Line Inclusion Rules The rule set including the line level qualifiers that define when a claim is to be included and priced, excluded from or should cancel a patient bundle.

Pricing Methodology – Prospective or Retrospective Budget – Pre-defined episode budget for consideration during prospective processing or for comparison to actual totals for retrospective processing.

Example of claims found in a patient bundle: Claim for pre-surgical blood work Claim for surgeon Claim for anesthesiologist Claim for physical therapist Patient Bundle grid Patient bundle ID, status, claimant, provider, related dates and related episode. Can also open a patient bundle to view claim details or cancel a patient bundle in this module. Patient Bundle claims List of claims in patient bundle, including details for the provider, service pricing, total charges, pre-episode & episode pricing, budget to actuals variance and supplemental data captured. Can also delete a claim from a patient bundle in this module.

Confidential | Copyright © 2014 TriZetto Corporation 24 Claim Re-evaluation Module Provides the ability to identify claims that may require reprocessing due to patient bundle changes that have taken place. For example: Joe Smith’s hip surgery was rescheduled from April 1 st to March 19 th. His patient bundle date processing window was adjusted to account for this change. Running the claim re-evaluation process in this case provides the ability for the claims prior to April 1 st that otherwise would have been omitted, to be identified for re-adjudication and subsequent payment bundle processing. Claim re-evaluation job grid Details for prior runs of the claim re-evaluation process including job ID, status, start and end dates/times, number of patient bundles and claims processed, total claim identified as needing review and number of claims not yet reviewed. Initiate a re-evaluation job or open a particular job to view claims. Claims identified for review After opening a particular re-evaluation job run from the main grid, this view provides a list of the claims in that job that have been identified as those that may require re-adjudication due to a change that occurred. Details about those claims are listed as well as the ability to mark claims as reviewed. This list of claims can be exported to Excel for ease of reprocessing.

Confidential | Copyright © 2014 TriZetto Corporation 29 Users & Roles Modules Provide the ability to define users and roles for increased application security. Users Details including ID, password (minimum requirements enforced), status and contact details and associated roles for particular application users. Can also edit or delete a user if desired. Roles Roles can be defined for each module that provide view, update, delete and export access as applicable. Users can then be assigned particular roles in order to limit the level of functionality they have available.

Subscriber Configuration When the publish option is used to copy data from one NxPBA environment to another for data such as qualifier groups or episode definitions, the selected data is exported to every active destination subscriber system defined on this tab. Import Choose the data to import from a third party, such as PROMETHEUS data.
