ICD-10 Overview • ICD International Classification of Diseases is used on virtually 100% of patients and visits within CH – all ministries • ICD CODES are used to describe and catalog the patients’ conditions (Diagnosis) and the Acute Inpatient Procedures • ICD directly influences 90% plus of all of CH Revenue Streams $$$,$$$,$$$.$$ • The WORDS and Clinical VALUES ( a tumor size measurement) present in the clinical record are used to assign the CODES • ICD-10 is federally mandated change from ICD-9, due Oct 2014 • ICD-10 directly impacts Software Applications that contain/process ICD-9 codes – all will need to be upgraded • ICD-10 is a major Financial risk and significant Clinical impact
What are the Benefits of ICD 10? • Improve operational processes across the health care industry by classifying detail within the codes to accurately process payments and reimbursements. • Increase flexibility for future update. • Enhance coding accuracy and specificity to classify anatomic site, etiology, and severity. • Provide more detailed data to better analyze disease patterns and track/respond to public health outbreaks. • Provide payers, program integrity contractors, and oversight agencies with opportunities for more effective detection and investigation of potential fraud or abuse and proof of intentional fraud.
What Does Specificity Look Like? 50% of all code sets in ICD -10 relate to musculoskeletal system 36% of all ICD -10 codes distinguish ‘right’ vs ‘left’

2014 Patient Experience of Care Survey Details • In January 2014, Catholic Medical Partners will send a patient experience survey to patients under our contracts who have had a visit in the past year. EXCEPT the Medicare FFS patients under the ACO contract. Medicare will be surveying ACO members (Medicare FFS) in January 2014 with the same survey. • No patient will receive two surveys. e.g., if a patient had a visit with two or more Catholic Medical Partners physicians they will only receive a survey for one of the physicians. • The survey is of the patient’s experience with their physician and their physician’s office.
2014 Patient Experience of Care Survey Details • The practice name the will appear on letters and envelopes and physician name will appear in the letter. • We will not be using practice logos this year. • Surveys will be mailed with a postage paid return envelope and an 800 number to call if they have questions. • A follow up survey will be mailed to non responders 3-4 weeks later, also with a postage paid return envelope.
2014 Patient Experience of Care Survey • As we get closer to the mailing, you will receive e-mails notifying you of mail dates, links to materials posted on our website and other materials such as an office FAQ. • All physicians whose patients are surveyed will get a report of their results during the 1st Quarter of 2014. • All reporting will be online.
2014 Patient Experience of Care Survey PLEASE In December, we will ask that you: • Inform your staff that this survey is taking place • Share survey materials with staff The more returns, the more reliable and actionable the information is for you.

Program Overview • 3-year contract with Medicare for Medicare Shared Savings Program • 302 participating practices • Take care of a defined population of patients • MCR FFS beneficiaries only • ~25,500 • Bend the cost trend to come under the MCR-set budget • at least 2.4% • Score well on 33 quality measures for a chance to share in the savings • These measures replace reporting for MCR’s PQRS
Administrative Program Requirements • Display ACO poster*, visible to all patients, in each participating location • Notify once each MCR FFS patient of your participation in the program • Document this notification-in case of future audit • Give patient opportunity to decline to share claims data • Not good for us if they decline • If they DO decline, have them sign a form* and fax back to Vera Dovirak at 886-1721 or mail to CMP *Poster and declination forms can be obtained from me after the meeting
ACO Attribution Model-taking care of a defined population ~4,500 or 15% of all ACO patients are attributed through Step 2
2012 GPRO Overview • Sample of ~4000 patients • many selected from those attributed based on SCP • Used data from cycle reports and manual upload • 33 Measures encompassing 4 categories: • Patient/Caregiver Experience (CAHPS)- administered by MCR • Patients’ Rating of Doctor • Access to Specialists • Care Coordination/ Patient Safety • Preventive Health • Tobacco screening and counseling • Mammography/ BP screening and follow-up • At-Risk Population • Diabetes composite Scored below 30th Percentile Scored below 30th Percentile Scored below 30th Percentile
Outpatient Care Quality Measures (1 of 2):it’sall about access to primary care
Outpatient Care Quality Measures (2 of 2):it’s all about the experience provided by your office
How to Optimize Our ACO Performance • PCPs: run reports to capture patients not seen in 12 months • SCP: encourage patients to see their PCP at least annually • Keep in mind the ACO quality measures for which we are responsible • Notify all MCR FFS patients of your practice’s ACO participation • We can request claims data on all notified patients=knowing where to look for data during next GPRO=less work for practices
ACO Model:A Feedback Loop • HCC scores are used in determining our annual ACO budget • Metrics are used to determine quality of care provided to the ACO population • Example: 250.00 (unspecified diabetes) • Receive base HCC score=least $$ allowed • If patient is more complicated, then the budget expenditures • $$ not allotted in the budget are spent on providing quality care • <$$ left eligible for shared savings
