Discussion Topic • What is the Top Tier Provider’s role with complex claims? • Roles mentioned during past ACHIEv discussions include: • Prevent • Manage • Accept • Consult
Complex Claim as Part of Top Tier Criteria • Our approach: • Identify possible roles in each category (prevent, manage, accept, consult), • Discuss and document pros and cons for each role, • Review roles against the Top Tier model and assumptions, and • Gather your recommendation about which criteria/criterion to use.
Top Tier Model and Assumptions Top Tier Initial Visit Provider Top Tier Initial Visit Provider COHE COHE Provider Network Provider Network • Increase the availability of best practices • Achieve positive outcomes • Provide an alternative to COHEs • Simple for providers to understand and L&I to administer • Align with other incentive programs (such as COHE)
Prevent Complex Claims • Require that no more than X% of claims initiated by a Top Tier Provider become complex. Target: ≤ 5% of initiated claims* become complex * L&I currently has the ability to measure using state fund claims only.
Manage Complex Claims • Require Top Tier Providers to follow best practices while managing complex claims. • Review complex claims related to Top Tier core competencies and best practices.
Accept Complex Claims (Example 1) • Require that a Top Tier Provider has accepted at least X complex claims over a specific timeframe. Target: X claims a year accepted over the last N years
Accept Complex Claims (Example 2) • Require Top Tier Provider to accept complex claims if requested by L&I. Target: 100% of Top Tier Providers are available to accept L&I referrals
Consult on Complex Claims • Require Top Tier Providers to offer consultations on complex claims. The consultation must result in a detailed treatment plan. Target: X consultations per year as a Top Tier Provider
Example 5: Your Suggestions? • Other complex claim criteria?
