4 UnitedHealthcare Community Plan uses Milliman Care Guidelines in the utilization management (UM) of both inpatient and outpatient services. The Care Guidelines are nationally recognized, evidence-based guidelines and are more than just a tool used by the payer community to guide care and services authorization. The key aspects of the Care Guidelines include: Clinical indications for decision making for admission, procedures, testing, and services A guide for optimal recovery (the Milliman Care Guidelines Optimal Recovery Course), Milliman Care Guidelines which reflects best practices in prescriptive care Discharge planning guidelines Patient education/teaching information Clinical documentation requirements Extended-stay criteria Common complications and conditions guidelines Hospital care planning Quality measures Opportunity to use guidelines to guide collaboration and consultation between payers and providers regarding patient care and management UM review decisions are based on criteria, the appropriateness of the care or service/item, the benefit coverage, and the provider s affiliation with the plan. We do not compensate UM review decision makers for denials of coverage or service. Financial incentives are designed to encourage, not discourage, the appropriate use of services. UM review guidelines are available at the request of the participating practitioner/provider by calling UnitedHealthcare Community Plan at Practitioners may discuss clinical review decisions with our Medical Director and physician advisers at Provider Manual The Provider Manual explains policies and procedures involving our provider partners and serves as a resource for the management of our plan. periodically updates our Provider Manual. The productspecific, up-to-date Provider Manual is available at Online, you can access not only the Provider Manual but also provider directories, newsletters, clinical practice guidelines, drug formularies, and more. For a hard copy of the UnitedHealthcare Community Plan Provider Manual, or if you are unable to find what you are looking for, please contact your Provider Relations Advocate. Your Provider Relations Advocate is your resource for on-demand training and orientation for your staff. 4
5 Asthma Diagnosis and Care Management More than 23 million adults and children have asthma in the U.S. Managing care for your patients with asthma can be challenging. encourages our members to work with their providers to manage this chronic disease. Listed below is the recommended approach for asthma care: Establish a Diagnosis of Asthma and Determine Asthma Severity Symptoms include dyspnea, cough, and/or wheezing, especially nocturnal, difficulty breathing, or chest tightness. Episodic and recurrent symptoms are present. Symptoms worsen in presence of exercise, viral infections, inhaled allergens, irritants, changes in weather, strong emotional expression, stress, or menstrual cycles. Perform spirometry measurement in all patients ages 5 and older to determine if airway obstruction is at least partially reversible. Prescribe Appropriate Pharmacological Therapy Using a Stepwise Approach Prescribe a daily preventive asthma medication if the patient is not currently taking one. Inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) are the most consistently effective antiinflammatory therapy for all age groups and the preferred first-line treatment that results in improved asthma control. Understand the difference between the following medications: Long-Term Control Medications: These medications prevent symptoms, often by reducing inflammation. They must be taken daily. Do not expect long-term control medications to give quick relief. Quick-Relief Medications (required for all patients): Short-acting beta- 2-agonists (SABAs) relax airway muscles to provide symptom relief. Do not expect long-term asthma control. Using SABAs on more than two days a week indicates the need for starting or increasing long-term control medications. Assess and Monitor Asthma Control and Adjust Therapy as Necessary Perform validated asthma questionnaires such as the Asthma Control Test (ACT) at or the Asthma Control Questionnaire (ACQ) at at every office visit. Step-up and step-down asthma treatment based on assessment of symptom control. Monitor for possible overuse of the quick-relief or rescue asthma medications. Refer to a specialist if patient has difficulty achieving or maintaining asthma control. Develop, Review, and Update Asthma Action/Treatment Plans at Each Visit Provide and Reinforce Patient Education/ Asthma Self-Management Identify and reduce factors contributing to severity. Emphasize medication adherence and medication administration techniques. Train on the use of a spacer device with metered-dose inhalers (MDI). Explain the difference between rescue and preventive medications. Schedule Follow-Up Care At two- to six-week intervals until asthma control is achieved or while asthma medication is being adjusted At one- to six-month intervals after control is achieved and to monitor whether asthma control is maintained Prior to predicted seasonal exacerbations Provide influenza vaccine for all patients older than ages 6 months annually, unless a vaccine contraindication exists. 5
