Introduction to CarePoint Health Plans

1. Introduction to CarePoint Health Plans A CarePoint Medicare Advantage and I-SNP training presentation

2. CarePoint Health Plans • CarePoint Health Plans is an insurance company that shares ownership with Bayonne Medical Center, Christ Hospital and Hoboken University Medical Center • CarePoint is currently licensed in Hudson County • CarePoint Health Plans has a contract with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) to offer an MAPD plan and an I-SNP plan

3. What is Medicare Advantage • A Medicare Advantage plan combines traditional Medicare A & B • Medicare Advantage (or Part C) is managed care Medicare • The coverage is provided by a private (non-governmental) insurance company • Anyone who has Medicare A & B, lives in the coverage area, and does NOT have End-Stage Renal Disease is also eligible for a Medicare Advantage plan • Medicare Advantage plans are usually offered with Part D (prescription drug) coverage as well and are known as MAPD plans.

4. Prescription Drug Coverage • Prescription drugs are covered under Medicare Part D • Most Medicare Advantage plans include prescription drug coverage under Part D – if the plan offers Part D, a member must get their coverage under it • A Medicare Advantage plan that offers Part D is called an MAPD plan

5. I-SNP • A Special Needs Plan is a Medicare plan that limits enrollment to members with specific diseases or characteristics and tailors benefits to best meet their needs • An I-SNP is an Institutional Special Needs Plan • This is a Medicare managed care plan for individuals who, for 90 days or longer, have had or are expected to need LTC SNF, LTC NF, SNF/NF, ICF/MR or inpatient psychiatric level of care. Individuals in the community may be enrolled if they also require the institutional level of care. • I-SNP eligibility must be verified independently, using the State-approved assessment tool, such as the PASRR, OASIS, MDS, and documentation from the individual’s physician.

6. I-SNP • Premiums and benefits differ between CarePoint’s MAPD and I-SNP. • CarePoint Advantage (MAPD PPO) $0 additional premium (still pay Part B premium) • CarePoint Guardian (I-SNP PPO) $37 monthly premium • Refer to the Summary of Benefits and Evidence of Coverage for differences between traditional Medicare, CarePoint Advantage and CarePoint Guardian

7. CarePoint Advantage & Guardian Eligibility • Imperative to adhere to all CMS Marketing Guidelines • Potential members MUST request an appointment – NO REFERRALS and NO SOLICITATION • Potential members may be identified: • At Sales & Marketing and Educational events • By approaching a clearly-identified Sales & Marketing representative • By contacting a Sales & Marketing representative as a result of seeing approved marketing material or at the suggestion of another individual • I-SNP eligibility MUST be verified BEFORE a Sales & Marketing meeting can be scheduled with the individual

8. Provider Network • A Medicare Advantage plan can be either an HMO or a PPO – currently, CarePoint’s plans are PPOs • The Primary Care Physician must be in-network in both types of plans • Both HMO and PPO must have appropriate access to primary care and specialists in-network • “Network Adequacy” includes: number and specialty of providers, distance and travel time to providers within the community the Plan serves

9. Provider Network • Provider network includes primary care and specialist physicians, mid-level providers, allied health practitioners, tertiary care facilities, lab, x-ray, home health, transportation and others • Often, additional providers are contracted for services not available within the network (example: transplant surgery, cardiac surgery) • Occasionally an out-of-network provider may be contracted for a single patient and/or a single case • All network providers are subject to the Plan’s Credentialing process and Quality measures and, • All staff and providers will participate in orientation to this model of care on a yearly basis

10. HMO versus PPO • In an HMO the member receives all care in-network, and referrals are usually required • In a PPO the member may go out-of-network for care – the cost-sharing is usually higher. For CarePoint Advantage the member has a 30% cost-share for most out-of-network services • PPOs do not require referrals • In both types of plans approval, also known as Prior Authorization, for certain types of tests is often required (example: CT scans, MRI, endoscopy)

11. CarePoint Managed Medicare Goals • Improve care through: • Improving access to care • Network primary care and specialty physicians including Behavioral Health • Assess health care needs and respond • Access to additional resources • Maintenance of health care coverage • Improving coordination of care • Utilize care managers, nurse practitioners • Provide clear explanation of available benefits and how to access

12. CarePoint Managed Medicare Goals • Provide care that is coordinated across settings • Improve member health with best practice preventive health services • Make certain members receive: • The right care • In the right setting • In the right amount • At the right time • For the right member • Monitor member health and provider practices to assure improvement in positive health outcomes

13. CarePoint Organizational Structure • Owned by the same owners as the hospitals • Administrative staff roles and responsibilities • Executive management • Provider network and relations • Compliance • Finance • Sales & Marketing • Customer service • Claims payment • Information technology • Human resources

14. CarePoint Organizational Structure • Clinical staff roles and responsibilities • Chief medical officer • Director of Quality • Director of Care Management • Case & Disease Management • Utilization review • Appeals and Grievances • Pharmacy management

15. CarePoint’s Model of Care • Patient care is provided primarily by CarePoint’s network of providers • Members receive care across the entire spectrum of settings, from outpatient to observation, inpatient, rehabilitation and skilled nursing facility. • Because a Medicare Advantage plan is offered by a managed care organization, care is coordinated for the member in all settings.

16. CarePoint’s Model of Care • Care coordination is accomplished using a variety of resources: • Physicians and other providers • Care and Case Managers • Mid-level providers (e.g. nurse practitioners) • Nurses • Discharge planners • Home health care agencies • Social workers • Area Agencies on Aging • Community- and faith-based organizations • Others

17. CarePoint’s Model of Care • Communication • A critical component of the coordination of care • Include all stakeholders • Coordinate care between member, family, members of care team • Provide information using multiple forms of media including mail, e-mail, Web, member and provider portals, phone, fax, face to face meetings, video conferencing, member handbook, member newsletter, provider manual, information packages, provider profiles, policies & procedures, inter-disciplinary care team meetings

18. CarePoint’s Model of Care • CarePoint provides a robust IT care management system to track: • Member health • Quality of care • Member plans of care • Medical/surgical, behavioral, radiology, laboratory and pharmacy encounter and claims information • Metrics to support the above measures plus HEDIS and others • Information is shared with members of the integrated health care system to improve: • Quality of care • Access to care • Overall health outcomes • Efficiency • Productivity

19. CarePoint’s Model of Care • Guided by the members’ health status, CarePoint may provide management in the form of: • Automated information provided by mail, e-mail or phone • Individualized information provided by phone by a care manager • Personalized visits by a mid-level provider • This information may relate to a member’s: • Medications • Upcoming appointments for provider visits, testing or procedures • Prescription order updates • Recommendations for health care management.

20. CarePoint’s Model of Care Priorities • Member centered • Provider driven • Focused on Best Practices, both clinical and managerial

21. CarePoint’s Model of Care Patient Centered Care • Manage care across the continuum using • Primary Care Physicians • Mid-level providers • Coordinate community-based/faith-based services • Leverage additional resources • Pro-actively manage population and individual care • Identify care needs and gaps in care early and intervene before the member’s condition worsens • Focus on the member/family experience

22. CarePoint’s Model of Care • All members (MAPD & I-SNP) will complete a Health Risk Assessment (HRA) upon enrollment; assistance will be provided to those who are unable to do this on their own • The HRA will be incorporated in the Plan’s medical management system to generate a Clinical Risk Assessment • This Clinical Risk Assessment will be used by the Plan to provide the most appropriate care management resources for the member • As additional diagnostic and pharmacy data is obtained about the member, this clinical risk assessment will be refined using the Johns Hopkins ACG System

23. CarePoint’s Model of Care • The Health Risk Assessment contains questions regarding • Family history • Personal health status • Activities of daily living (ADLs) • Medications • Use of/Need for special services • Use of preventive services • Pain • Fear of falling • Mental health and cognitive function • Nutrition/Exercise/Health habits • Tobacco/Substance use and abuse • Social supports • Quality of life

24. CarePoint’s Model of Care • Clinical Risk Assessment • Medical Care Management staff at CarePoint will use the information to: • Create a Plan of Care based on nationally-accepted Clinical Practice Guidelines and coordinate this Plan of Care with the member’s primary care physicians • Analyze the member’s care history to identify gaps in care and upcoming needs (barriers to care and interventions) • Determine appropriate care management tools for member – phone calls, written material by mail, e-mail reminders, assignment of mid-level provider for members at higher risk • Members must be given the option to not participate in care management – the Plan will continue to monitor their health status and they may opt-in at any time

25. CarePoint’s Model of Care • Member engagement will be promoted with a variety of methods including: • Motivational interviewing (“What’s important to you? What would it mean to you to get it? What would it mean if you didn’t?”) • Direct contact from Care Management staff • Culturally appropriate health information available in a variety of media • Incentives when legally permissible and appropriate

26. CarePoint’s Model of Care • Empower practitioners • Information on best practices • Identification of gaps in care • Objective data on individual practice versus peers • Provide clinical management tools • Emphasis on preventive care

30. CarePoint’s I-SNP Model of Care • The I-SNP Model of Care introduces additional resources to care for institutionalized and institutional-equivalent members, and most importantly, those most vulnerable (multiple chronic conditions and/or medications, dual diagnosis, end of life) identified by Care Management and the team of practitioners • Inter-Disciplinary Care Team • INTERACT II care management method and tools • Enhanced care coordination

31. CarePoint’s I-SNP Model of Care • Inter-Disciplinary Care Team (IDCT) • All I-SNP members will have an IDCT comprising representatives of the coordinated care team • New members of the IDCT will be included to address developments in the member’s care needs • Member and family participation is actively encouraged. Invitations and meeting summary letters are sent • The IDCT meets regularly, updates the Plan of Care as necessary, and may additionally meet should there be a change in condition of the member • Best-Practice care will be coordinated, and will include the use of IT infrastructure and prior-authorization

32. CarePoint’s I-SNP Model of Care • Additional components of model of care • Care providers use INTERACT II • Empowers everyone in the institution to improve the quality of care • Clinicaland educational tools and strategies to manage changes in resident condition • Improve quality with early identification, assessment, documentation and communication • Resources to manage end of life care as well • Examples of INTERACT II clinical tools follow: • STOP AND WATCH and the SBAR documentation tool
