  1. Medical Provider Network: Provider Re-credentialing Karen Jost Health Services Analysis Program Manager October 23, 2014

  2. Medical Provider Network (MPN) Status • Over 21,000 approved providers. • Access goal: ensure that the percent of injured workers within 15 miles of at least 5 attending provider types is within 5% of the January 2012 (pre-network baseline) for their county of residence. • Goal continues to be met: 99% statewide, and stable by county • Initial 3-year credentials up for re-credentialing January 2016

  4. Complementary processes • Risk of harm – opioid death reviews and re-operations • Department of Health (DOH) feed – licensure actions • Audit and fraud actions • One-year credentialing • Provider complaints • National Practitioner Data Bank (NPDB) updates

  5. Requirements For Provider Monitoring or Reapproval • RCW 51.36.010(2)(d) • WAC 296-20-01030 Minimum health care provider network standards • WAC 296-20-01040 Health care provider network continuing requirements • Purpose: Ensure approved network providers remain in compliance with minimum standards and continuing requirements. • Secondary: Update demographics and credentials

  6. Re-credentialing process considerations • Risk to injured workers • Meets purpose of MPN • Potential for Error • Impact on access • Provider ease • Yield – balance work vs. actionable findings • Technology / capacity • Staff impact / resource needs / Cost • Industry standard • Defensible process and standards • Coordination with related processes • Appropriate provider expectations / responsibility

  7. Options for Re-credentialing • Standard process • Cyclical update of documentation (usually 3 years) • Requires provider submittal of forms (usually attestation, insurance, release of information) • Request staff input, review and verification • Continuous monitoring • Uses continuous updates from reporting sources • Provider submits information only when issue or concern identified • Staff review data feeds and respond to issues as they arise

  8. Recommendation • Continuous monitoring • Over 99% of providers met network standards • Yield of re-review of approved providers is even lower • Data (changes) drive focused reviews and action taken, rather than cycle review of all • Lower provider and staff burden • Feedback from ACHIEV • Potential for error • Industry standard
