6 LAN Purpose Goal: In 2016, at least 30% of U. S. health care

6 LAN Purpose Goal: In 2016, at least 30% of U. S. health care payments are linked to quality and value through alternative payment models. In 2018, at least 50% of U. S. health care payments are so linked. These payment reforms are expected to demonstrate better outcomes and lower costs for patients. Objectives: §Convene health plans, purchasers, providers, consumers, states and federal partners to establish a common pathway for success §Identify areas of agreement around movement to APMs §Collaborate to generate evidence, shared approaches, and remove barriers §Develop common approaches to core issues such as beneficiary attribution §Create implementation guides for different types of organizations Accelerate the transition to alternative payment models by combining the success of the private sector with the innovation, power and reach of the public sector For Public Distribution

Approach to Pathway Development Clinical Evidence & Compendia Clinical Guidelines & Plan Medical Policies

Approach to Pathway Development Clinical Evidence & Compendia Clinical Guidelines & Plan Medical Policies Pathways Data from trials, publications, and compendia for many different patient populations are extracted, reviewed, and analyzed. Medical evidence is synthesized by national experts into clinical guidelines. Evidence is also used by health plan committees to develop medical policies and utilization management guidelines used in making benefit coverage determinations. Pathways are a subset of regimens supported by evidence and clinical guidelines and aligned with health plan medical policies. Pathways are intended to be applicable for 80%-90% of patients and are selected based on: 1. Clinical benefit (efficacy) 2. Side effects/toxicities (especially those leading to hospitalizations & impact quality of life) 3. Strength of national guideline recommendations 4. Cost of regimens Anthem’s Pathways are developed through a rigorous evidence based medicine process and reviewed by external advisors. 26

Perspectives Your approach is a kinder, gentler approach. How can we assess care planning

Perspectives Your approach is a kinder, gentler approach. How can we assess care planning is done? How can you ensure oncologists aren’t just checking a box to get the fee? What is the process measure? How do we get the physician to educate the patient on palliative care? Pathways are the future and adhering to pathways will enhance revenue. Also cost containment by the insurance company -- until our physicians who have practice evidence based medicine for years sees the pathways we will not know how well they follow NCCN preferred guidelines. Use cheaper drugs In theory this seems like a good program for physicians to not lose money on chemotherapy drugs because the reimbursement for the S-code will help recoup some of the loss. Wonderful speakers and webinar. Anthem is going to have treatment pathways to help us provide the most effective treatment for the patients. I don't like the concept a whole lot but it's where things are going so it was helpful to have the information Anthem Cancer Care Quality Program is aimed to increase quality of care, and reduce the cost of care by using proven treatments for fighting cancer. What you have basically is a comparative effectiveness approach. Progressive and forward thinking. I am hoping this helps expedite the authorization process for our patients. Anthem is making providers to follow pathways If every payer wants us to follow their pathways, the practice will not be able to manage the administrative burden I was hoping that some Rad Onc would be mentioned as it often is used in conjunction with chemotherapy Changes forthcoming. Would prefer hard reimbursement numbers. AIM is one of the most, if not THE most, user friendly and speedy prior authorization websites around, especially for getting prior auth for some of our most urgent cancer patients.
