20. CRISP Provider Search: Open Enrollment and Error Correction Update September 4, 2014

21. Current State and Open Enrollment 2014-2015

22. CRISP Provider Search Website – Search by Provider

23. CRISP Provider Search Website – Provider Profile

24. Current State – Site Usage Site Stats • 65,000 visits since 10/1/13 • 300 visits per day during Open Enrollment • Last week of March: 700 visits per day • March 31, 2014: 1,674 visits • December 31, 2014: 1,000 visits

25. Connecticut Migration • The Connecticut system has no integrated provider data • Consumers are linked to the carriers’ provider directory • Maryland consumers will be linked to the CRISP Provider Search site • For Open Enrollment 2014, the CRISP Provider Search site will be the sole way to access provider data

26. Current State – Data Flow Provider Error Corrections Consumer Sites CRISP Provider Search Maryland Health Connection CRISP Provider Data Processing Optum (P360 Data Scrubbing) Data Submission QHPs MCOs

27. Currently, CRISP relies on carriers to make error corrections Current Provider Error Correction Process • Providers report errors to CRISP • CRISP determines which carrier(s) submitted the error • Each month, CRISP submits a Provider Error Report to each carrier • Carriers follow-up with providers to resolve errors • Carriers correct errors in subsequent bi-weekly submissions to CRISP

28. Open Enrollment – Data Flow Provider Error Corrections CRISP Provider Search Consumer Sites CRISP Provider Data Processing Optum (P360 Data Scrubbing) Data Submission QHPs MCOs

29. Error Correction Initiative

30. CRISP has received various feedback detailing inaccuracies in provider data • Provider errors can be divided into two categories: • Demographics errors involve providers’ addresses, phone numbers, and office hours • Network errors involve specialty and disputed inclusion in a carrier’s network

31. Error Correction Pilot • CRISP is currently conducting an ErrorCorrection Pilot • Unified portal where providers can view carrier-submitted information and submit updates • Demographics corrections (addresses, locations, and office hours) can be made immediately • Network corrections would be submitted to the appropriate carrier(s) • CRISP is developing provider identity proofing The Error Correction functionality is on-target to be live by late 2014.

32. CRISP will develop appropriate “trust levels” with Optum to ensure corrections made align with MHBE business goals • Develop “trust levels” with Optum to determine which provider information is displayed • Optum will trust CRISP data (over carrier data) for approved demographics fields and make real-time corrections • Optum will trust MCOs and QHPs for network corrections

33. Automated Carrier Error Reports

34. CRISP is developing methodology for sending automated Error Reports to carriers Proposed File Requirements • Distinguish between Demographics and Network Corrections • Carriers should update provider information based on Demographics Changes • Carriers should adjudicate Network Changes with carrier and make changes in subsequent CRISP Input Files • Identify if information should be added or removed for a provider • The text file will be delivered to a SFTP location every day for which there is an error correction submitted to CRISP for that carrier.

35. CRISP recommends a pipe-delimited flat file Proposed File Format • CRISP proposes a pipe-delimited text file. • The file will include identifying information about the provider (e.g., first name, last name, and NPI) • Corrections will be tagged as either as “Demographics” or “Network.” • Corrections will be tagged with “add” or “remove” – followed by the relevant piece of information. Demographics|Remove|Address|1 Main St.||Columbia|MD|21046|4435551212 Network|Add|Specialty|Cardiology Network|Remove|All CareFirst plans

36. Next Steps

37. Next Steps • CRISP will distribute a final Error Correction File Format and Delivery document • Carriers can respond with questions or suggestions • When development is complete, CRISP will invite carriers to test functionality and provide feedback
