Cost share may be collected from those members with other Medicaid eligibility classifications. Please refer to the chart on the preceding page for further details on the eligibility levels of the Shared Savings Program.

CMS Star Overview • Established by CMS to make quality data more transparent and to educate consumers in their choice of Medicare Advantage (MA) plans • MA Star ratings (1 -5) are published annually and made available to the public, including Medicare beneficiaries prior to open enrollment • • Each individual quality measure will receive a star rating based on their performance compared to all other plans across the country Each individual quality measure weighted differently - 1, 1. 5, 3 and 5 The targets change every year based on the overall performance of health plans across the country Stars for the individual measures are then averaged to obtain an overall summary score for the plan

What is a Gap in Care? Care gaps are measured by: Gaps in care

What is a Gap in Care? Care gaps are measured by: Gaps in care refer to specific elements in care, based on a patient’s condition that are needed, but have not been addressed. • Payers (e. g. , CMS, Anthem) • Health systems • Medical groups Care gaps include: • Condition-specific care • Preventive care • Patient-centered outcomes Examples: • • Patient with diabetes need a Hb. A 1 c at least annually Female patients between 50 -74 need a mammogram at least every 2 years • Care gaps are increasingly focused on targeted outcomes of care, rather than simply process measures developed from best practices

Impact of Provider-Driven Measures A recent study by Oliver Wyman indicates a strong correlation between Providerdriven measures and overall Part C Star Ratings. County Average Part C Star Ratings – All Measures vs. Provider-Driven Measures Only (2015) • • • Even though provider-driven measures only make up about 74 percent of the total Part C scoring weight, they essentially determine the score by themselves. Ultimately, a health plan’s Star rating is defined primarily by the behavior of its providers. Interestingly, clinical quality may even affect scores on the member experience measures—the metrics traditionally viewed as payer-driven.

Help to Improve our CAHPS Score! Remind physicians that flu immunization is a member self reported measure included in the CAHPS survey The following are best practices to increase flu vaccine rates: • Consider standing orders for MA staff to screen members for flu vaccine during rooming process (consider linking with pneumonia vaccine) • Document administration of the flu vaccine in your EMR • Creation of flu clinic hours for walk in patients and consider expanded hours • Identify priority high risk patients and reach out to coordinate vaccinations with upcoming visits

Keys to Stars Success • Ensure members have a positive experience during every touchpoint

Keys to Stars Success • Ensure members have a positive experience during every touchpoint • Example: staff asking “is there anything else I can do for you? ” • Remind physicians to close care gaps during every patient encounter • Remember one member and one measure can be the difference in Med.

Assess and predict the burden of illness for individuals and populations.

Why is RAF Important? Capturing appropriate diagnosis codes through the RAF program drives improved patient care and clinical quality. ü Enhances physicians’ understanding of their patient population’s chronic conditions ü Allows for an accurate account of the population’s clinical profile, including conditions treated by specialists, complications and comorbidities ü Patients with chronic conditions often cost more to treat and therefore need to be coded accurately ü Helps providers develop comprehensive and coordinated care plans to manage the whole patient ü The only way to ensure appropriate reimbursement from CMS is through accurate ICD-10 coding and physician documentation ü Encourages outreach to patients who have not had regular visits to their primary care physician ü Appropriate payment for accurate treatment ü Helps identify previously undocumented medical conditions ü Improves accuracy of patient stratification for clinical programs, referral to care advisor
