  2. Objectives • Part I – Program • SoonerCare Choice Today • Medical Advisory Task Force (MAT) • Enhancing the SoonerCare Choice Medical Home • Transition Timeline • Part II – Financing the PCMH • Questions and Comments

  3. What is SoonerCare Choice Today? • SoonerCare Choice is a managed care model in which each member is linked to a primary care provider who serves as their “medical home”. • PCPs manage the basic health care needs, including after hours care and specialty referral of the members on their panel.

  4. PCP Network • SoonerCare Choice has over 400,000 members enrolled statewide • Over 1,000 PCPs (up from 800+ in 2003) • Each PCP has a max panel of 2,500 • PA or APN PCPs have a max panel of 1,250 • Average panel size of 300 members per PCP

  5. Who Can be a PCP Today? Physicians General Practitioners Family Practice Internal Medicine OB/GYNs Pediatricians • FQHCs • RHCs • IHS Facilities Physician Assistants (PA) Advanced Practice Nurses (APN)

  6. Medical Advisory Task Force Created At the request of providers the MAT was created February 2007 Representatives delegated by provider associations OOA OSMA OAFP AAP, Oklahoma

  7. Medical Advisory Taskforce Four Top Priorities • Change in current payment structure • Medical home • Autoassignment • Credentialing

  8. Joint Principles of the PatientCentered Medical Home In March 2007 the AAP, AAFP, ACP, and AOA, representing approximately 333,000 physicians, developed the following joint principles to describe the characteristics of the PCMH. • Personal Physician • Enhanced Access • Physician Directed Practice • Quality and Safety • Whole Person Orientation • Adequate Payment • Care is coordinated and / or integrated

  9. Patient Centered Medical Home Builds on successes already achieved in SoonerCare Choice patterned after North Carolina and Alabama’s medical home model Adopted by other payers: • Medicare • Private Payers • Large, Self Insured Employers • Patient-Centered Primary Care Collaborative • State Government

  10. Current SoonerCare Choice Reimbursement Monthly Capitated “Bundled” payment • Case Management / Care Coordination Fee • Primary care office visits • Limited lab services Other codes paid on FFS basis Incentive Payments • EPSDT / 4th DTaP bonus (lump sum payments)

  11. Recommended PCMHReimbursement • A monthly care coordination payment • A visit-based fee-for-service component • A performance-based component Source: The Patient Centered Primary Care Collaborative http://www.patientcenteredprimarycare.org/ The most effective way to re-align payment incentives to support the PCMH would be to combine traditional fee-for-service for office visits with a three part model that includes:

  12. SoonerCare Choice Comparison What Stays the Same? Current funding remains the same Provider determines medical necessity Federal restriction (e.g. EMTALA, co-pays) What Changes? Prepayment for case management only Referrals only needed for specialty care Group contracts must designate a medical director Elimination of default autoassignment Online provider enrollment 5/24/2014 12

  13. Proposed Additional SoonerCare Choice Changes • Coverage of new codes (e.g. after hours) • OB/GYN specialists that do not provide primary care may no longer be PCPs • Members may change PCPs within the month • Case Mgmt payment will be based on date processed

  14. Other Initiatives • Foster Care Pilot Project • Outreach to households with newborns • Electronic NB-1 • Transformation Grant • “No Wrong Door” eligibility enrollment enhancement. Target date October 2009 • Health Access Networks Pilot

  15. Health Access Networks • Additional payment to the network • Network will be approved by the MAT • Must provide access to all levels of care • Develops business relationships with • Primary care providers • Specialty providers • Outpatient, inpatient • Ancillary providers • RHC, FQHC

  16. Proposed Timeline • Target date January 2009 • All eligible members rolled over with current PCP • Seamless for members, PCPs • Contract updates needed by November 1, 2008
