6. Inputs from the working group members on existing PMJAY 1.0 IT system

7. Improvement recommendations for BIS • Develop Link with Aadhaar for cases who were initially verified without Aadhaar • Create a Mobile App to capture BIS Photo including a liveness check for non Aadhaar cases • Make Ration Card compulsory while adding members – reduce possibility of fraud • Develop a search and approve for BIS approvers. This will help clear cards in emergency cases PMJAY Beneficiary Identification (BIS) 50 Cr ELIGIBLE BENEFICIARIES

8. Improving Quality of Data in BIS • Create a online training and validation course for a BIS operator. • Only operators who have completed the training and achieved a minimum score should be enabled on BIS • Track every transaction in BIS against an operator and provide a quality score for each operator • Operators scoring low in actual will need to go back to training.

9. Experience Enhancements in OneTMS • Display all data from BIS including if this was an Added Member when processing a case • One Page View for attachments – Display all attachments in a single scrollable window to make it faster for reviewers • Capture Surgery Timings – It is useful for fraud related analysis • Include SMS Triggers with Beneficiary on events like Registration, Pre-Auth and Discharge. Improves engagement with the beneficiary will also reduce misuse and fraud PMJAY Transaction Management (ONE TMS)

10. Create a Module for Medical Audits Create a Medical Audits Module, ensure 10% of all hospitals are audited every quarter. Pick up the hospitals based on criteria including • Total number of cases done • Total number of death cases • Total grievances pending for resolution • Rejection of preauths and claims etc. Ensure field verification of case papers as part of the process

11. Integrate Clinical Protocols into Claim Process Integrate a clinical protocol module into the claims system Develop Specific queries to be filled in by the hospital for each procedure Allow pre-auth to be raised only if the hospital has followed the specified steps for the procedure. Recommended that learnings may be studied from Maharashtra and piloted by NHA

12. Other Inputs • Introduce Grading on Hospitals based on infrastructure at hospitals • Automatically read attachments using OCR technology and pre-fill certain fields to support adjudication • Improve Grievance module – enable beneficiaries to register greviance by call centre and field officers to raise greviances during field visits • Develop a module and push States towards Health Camps

13. PMJAY IT 2.0

14. PMJAY 2.0 is based on these key reports

15. PM-JAY 2.0 Design Principles Standards Adoption Electronic Claim Open APIs & Standards • FHIR Release 4 • SNOMED – CT • ICD 10 • LOINC • EHR Standards (2016) Non-Repudiability Machine Readable Schemas Verifiability Agile IndEA Explainability Digital Service Standards Innovation Consent based Data Sharing Micro-services Architecture Security & Privacy by Design Data Privacy & Encryption Open-Source Policy

16. Proposed Health Claim Processing in PMJAY 2.0 Real time data for monitoring and evaluation Define standard e-claim, e-discharge and other key forms that can be used to initiate claims for any Insurer or PMJAY Create a Health Claims platform that validates requests, routes to appropriate party, guarantees payment and gathers data for real time monitoring Submit using Open API Health Claims Platform Hospital Route to Insurer / TPA In Auto Adjudication FWA prevention Hospitals will use TMS software from NHA to raise PMJAY claims. Standards will allow new innovative software choices for hospitals to process claims Hospitals benefit from much easier reconciliation and tracking of claims Adjudicate Claims Fully machine readable data will significantly improve auto adjudication in claims and better fraud waste and abuse prevention Based on the recommendations of the NHA IRDAI JWG

17. New approach to Empanelment & Contracts Define e-facility form. This is a standardized machine readable format with details about the specialties, infrastructure and manpower of a provider. Hospitals can create this form using HEM software from NHA E-facility information is designed to be a shared good across the Insurance / TPA ecosystem Insurance / TPA updates verified information about a hospital Health Claims Platform Submit using Open API Submit using Open API Hospital Digitally Sign and Upload Contract Between Parties Contract visibility only between relevant parties Verify and digitally sign Contract Remove Paper based contracts. Save Trees.

18. Policy Markup Language (PML) Policy Markup Language is a machine readable way to specify the rules related to a health policy. For example the PML for PMJAY will specify which packages are reserved for public, price for the package, incentive criteria, etc PMJAY IT 2.0 looks to make all key documents in a health claim – standardized and machine readable. This will greatly enhance the capabilities of Auto Adjudication and FWA for payers. E-Policy In Policy Markup Language E-claim E-facility E-discharge Auto Adjudication & Fraud Waste and Abuse detection

19. Support for Personal Health Records

20. Courses in Medical Coding • Many elements in the e-claim and e-discharge including diagnosis need to be coded correctly using the recommended standard (ICD-10 or SNOMED). • Every provider wanting to participate in PMJAY or any other health insurance will require to have one or more team members to take a certificate course in Medical coding • This will greatly improve the quality of the incoming document and also help move the industry towards improved adjudication

21. Continuum of Care – Start quickly with pilots Implement the principle of “Think Big, Start Small, Scale Fast” outlined in the National Digital Health Blueprint by launching pilots. Demonstrate how Personal Health Identifier (PHI), Personal Health Record (PHR) and e-Refferals can enable the flow of information between PMJAY and other NHM systems like NCD screening, RCH and HWCs. Several States and Development Partners have expressed keen interest in support these pilots.
