Reasonable Conclusions Services for the Duals are expensive as they require extensive care. Care being rendered between two programs results in fragmented and uncoordinated care. Care coordination would be a valuable added service. – Improved quality of care – Positive budget impact Heater 8

Original Proposal OHCA envisioned establishing a state-operated benefit plan for duals, in lieu of Medicare OHCA would have been responsible for ALL CARE of duals, demonstrating outcomes Would have required CMS and OHCA to agree upon a cap rate for dual services Savings shared between OHCA and CMS BUT… CMS financing models require 3-way contracts Heater 9

SoonerCare Silver SoonerCare Silver Proposal #1 Heater 10

OHCA Care Management Why OHCA should be the solution: – The agency already applies care coordination to its SoonerCare members. – Adding Care Management to the Duals doesn’t overwhelm the SoonerCare program. – Spreading our fixed cost over a larger population should result in lower PMPM costs. (economies of scale) Heater 11
12
Modified Proposal OHCA “sells” our proven and effective managed care services for the Dual population to CMS. Enhance existing care coordination efforts – 7 Regional Nurse Care Management Teams – 1 Health Management Team Intensive care management for top 5,000 utilizers Covers wide range of diagnosis Heater 12
