Renaissance Medical Management Company Overview A Pioneer Accountable Care Organization
Agenda • • Brief History of Renaissance Overview of RMMC programs Provider Collaboration Model Question
• Renaissance exists to support the practice of medicine in an economically sustainable way • Renaissance works in conjunction with physicians and payers to build new compensation models designed to properly align incentives for delivering efficacious care 3
History of Renaissance • Founded in 1999 – Created to align goals and objectives of providers and payers – Originally a specialist-owned organization – Recapitalized into a primary care – owned company • Chairman of the Board – Dr. Barry Green – Practicing Physician • Chief Medical Officer – Dr. Kenneth Goldblum – Practicing Physician • Remains privately held by doctors
Compensation should be driven by Quality • Less event-driven care means lower costs and higher quality • HEDIS and CAHPS becoming ever more important in purchasing decision • Improved outcomes drive lower costs for – the Patient – the Payer – the Employer/Purchaser • Lower costs can fund incentives
Essential Components for Effective P 4 P • Clinical Staff to manage the process – Coordinate with the practices – Outreach to the patients – Establish treatment goals • Effective web based connectivity with the practices – Registry of patients needing preventive care • A meaningful incentive program – Clear – Specific – Measurable
7 People, Processes and Technology In the right combination…produces • Improved HEDIS Scores – RMMC managed program has consistently produced HEDIS scores in 90 th percentile nationally • Demonstrated cost reductions for payer – Validated by third party actuarial firm • • Lower Readmissions Less Event Driven Care Better Outcomes Slowing the progression of risk scores
Patient Centric Quality Incentive Model • Physician Coordination • Quality Improvement Committee • Regional Medical Directors Pay for Performance • Health Services teams • Web-based tools • Quality Program Physician Coordination Patient Chronic Care Management • Developed by physicians and Plan Physicians Payers Incentive Program Quality Program • Updated annually • Clinical Nurse Outreach • Follows physician’s plan of treatment • Coordinates with patient and caregivers • Web-based tools to manage plan • Chronic Care Management • Care modules to improve outcomes • Reduce event-drive episodes • Reduce readmissions Clinical Nurse Outreach Lower Costs, Higher Quality • Educate patients for self-management • Incentive Program • Clear • Transparent • Actionable • Effective

RMMC Enhancement Program • Includes HMO members that are formally associated with a PCP office • Also includes PPO members that are identified by a validated algorithm we developed • Penetration of over 20% in most of our offices • Earnings represent about a 10% increase in overall compensation 15
Diabetes Measures • Began with just an enhancement for measuring glycohemoglobin • Now includes a composite measure of glycohemoglobin under 7, LDL under 100, and urinary micro albumin measured and treated if abnormal • Separate measure for blood pressure under 130/80 16
Other Measures • CAD: LDL <100, on BB and ACEI/ARB’s where appropriate • CHF: BP <130/80, on BB and ACEI/ARB’s • Colorectal Cancer Screening • Breast Cancer Screening 17
Program Supports • Patient Services nurses working with a Diabetes specific module • Regular physician meetings with Patient Services with patient identification • Active use of reports available through the PMT to identify patients missing data and patients not at goal • Learning Sessions on starting insulin and on treating statin intolerant patients 18
Program Supports • Learning Sessions on talking to patients about changing their health behaviors • Referral to community resources including hospital based CDE programs • Regular regional doctor meetings with result sharing • Review of specific patient’s treatment with regional medical directors • Team meetings in offices to discuss progress amongst doctors and staff 19

Corp Interfaces with EMR • Coordinated Care Tool – Provides clinical care management capabilities • • • Risk Assessment Goal setting Patient monitoring Nursing documentation Outcomes reporting
23 Impact on Compensation • PCP’s earn incentives for quality metrics – Via incentive payment, enhancement to fee schedule or capitation payments – Paid regularly • Gain share – Upside arrangement where payer and provider share in total cost savings – Paid annually based on total costs saved and allocated based on quality performance and membership
CLINICAL QUALITY PERFORMANCE Dr. Ken Goldblum CMO and Practicing Physician 24
25 Results from Diabetes Program RMMC is an IPA in SE PA, using the tools and processes and pay for results model, the IPA has consistently delivered superior HEDIS results
26 …and Lower Disease Burden Progression-Diabetic Patients Well managed patients can lower the disease burden over time. In this case the population of the IPA had a higher disease burden in 2005 than the cohort group, while the progression of the risk scores would be expected with increasing age, the rate can be slowed by effective management reducing the event driven care, complications and intensity of the disease.
