Health Plan Perspective On Medication Management Dan Rehrauer Sr. Manager, Medication Therapy Management Program HealthPartners
HealthPartnersat a glance Largest consumer governed nonprofit health care organization in the nation Serves more than 1.5 million medical and dental health plan members nationwide Founded in 1957 as a cooperative Offer an MTM benefit across our population delivered by a network of community based pharmacists Integrated health care organization providing health care services and health plan financing and administration
HealthPartners Vision Health as it could be, affordability as it must be, through relationships built on trust.
HealthPartners MTM Program Pillars Optimal medication use occurs on a continuum and requires ongoing assessment and support MTM services must leverage pharmacists unique skill set to optimize the medication use experience for patients Drug therapy problems are identified and resolved in the context of the whole patient MTM services are most effective when delivered through existing patient relationships and when they are integrated with primary care
Total Cost • 11:1 ROI in a high risk targeted MTM population • $4000/engaged member savings Savings net of fully loaded expenses No difference in pharmacy cost Cost savings driven by reduction in ED/Hospital utilization Experience • Consistently high patient experience Health • Consistent improvement in clinical markers of disease control
The Catch 22 • We need more CMM • Until a patient experiences CMM, they think they already get this from their doctor and/or pharmacist • Almost no plans pay pharmacists for this service and those that do underpay • Not enough pharmacists provide the service to meet the needs of health plan membership • Not enough pharmacists provide the service to enough patients to get good at doing it
Responsibility and Opportunity • The health care world is changing • We are the best equipped profession to improve medication use • Improving medication use leads to better health and lower total costs • We need to take responsibility for medication related outcomes
Where pharmacists need to be • “Pay me to improve the health of your members”, not “pay me to provide a CMR for your patients” • Think population • Need to take care of the people not showing up as well as those that do • Think “how much of my population has controlled blood pressure” not “How much of my population is adherent to their RAS agent” • Think “how many of my diabetics are reaching their HbA1C goal” not “how many diabetes medication changes recommendations did I have accepted”
Partnerships with local physicians/physician groups Information systems that support population health work integrated with the care provider teams you support Medical records access
HealthPartners Current Approach to CMM Reimbursement • No required or provided documentation platform • Required documentation elements that indicate CMM provided • Continuity of Care Document • Allows for collection of CMS required data reporting elements and minimal clinical outcome data • CMS Standard format/CCD creator for those without capability to generate • Fee for service payment
HealthPartners Current Approach to Alternate Reimbursement of Pharmacies • Partners in Excellence • Adherence • Persistence • Patient Satisfaction • Pilot programs • BP control • Asthma adherence and total cost of care
HealthPartners Future Approach to CMM Reimbursement • Continued use and expansion of CCD • Partners in Excellence in 2016 • Value based reimbursement in 2017 • Withhold portion of FFS payment that has opportunity to be earned at the end of the year when quality measures met
HealthPartners Future Approach to Pharmacy Reimbursement • Expansion of successful pilots • Continue exploration of partnerships with pharmacies willing to take responsibility for outcomes • Pressure to become integrated with local providers • CPAs • Medical record access
Quality Measures: Opportunities for Expanding Pharmacists’ Patient Care Services Alexandra Lin, PharmD Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan November 17, 2015
Agenda • Quality Rating System (QRS) Overview • Opportunities for Pharmacists to Improve Quality Measures
What is the Quality Rating System (QRS)? A system that rates Qualified Health Plans (QHPs) based on relative quality and price Think the Commercial version of Medicare Part D Stars Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. Health Insurance Marketplace Quality Initiatives. Available at: https://www.cms.gov/Medicare/Quality-Initiatives-Patient-Assessment-Instruments/QualityInitiativesGenInfo/Health-Insurance-Marketplace-Quality-Initiatives.html. Accessed November 5, 2015.
Purpose of QRS • Inform consumers regarding the quality of healthcare services and enrollee experience with useful and comparable information • Facilitate regulatory oversight of QHPs offered • Allow issuers to improve performance through self evaluation Overview of 2015 QRS Requirements for QHP Issuers.

Conclusions • Pharmacists can have a major role in improving quality measures for QRS, Stars and HEDIS • Understanding the different rating systems for the Marketplace, Medicare Part D and Commercial populations is crucial for pharmacists in expanding their patient care services
