3 Medicare CMS Stars: General framewrk Stars has been created by the Centers fr Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) t raise the quality f care fr Medicare enrllees and reduce federal health care expenditures. The prgram hlds health plans accuntable fr the care prvided t enrllees by physicians, hspitals and ther health care prviders. CMS develped the Stars prgram fr Medicare Advantage cnsumers with tw bjectives: Drive health plans tward higher quality and mre efficient care Influence cnsumer plan chices during pen enrllment MA-PD (Medicare Advantage Part D) nly Star ratings are calculated at an verall cntract level (ratings cmbine Part C and D measures) Based n 40-plus weighted measures (measure set reviewed by CMS each year) Ratings published annually (1 Star t 5 Stars) Cnsensus-building entities (e.g., NCQA and PQA) cnsult with CMS fr measure cncept develpment, specificatins and endrsement Ratings at cntract level 3

Nte HPC will be a display measure fr BY20 and Reducing the Risk f Falls will be a Stars Measure fr BY Measures apply nly t Special Needs Plans (SNP). 3. Per CMS Advanced Ntice guidelines, medicatin adherence measures fr Puert Ric are 0-weight. 4. Display measures are nt part f Star ratings Display measures reflect MY2017 services, displayed n CMS.gv in

6 CMS Stars measure threshlds CMS grades n a curve; therefre, Stars threshlds are based n the tp perfrmers. Because f this, CMS always is raising the bar, and every gap in care is an imprvement pprtunity. Prvider perfrmance may imprve frm mnth t mnth, but physicians may ntice Stars ratings decline due t the grading curve; cnsequently, Humana assciates seek t clse all available gaps in care. Humana s bjective is t be the leader in the industry by imprving quality f care by fcusing n clsing every member gap. Key call-t-actin items: Clse HEDIS gaps based n current Stars Quality Reprt Data submissin (btain evidence f care) CAHPS/HOS cmment screcards Part D (adherence and patient safety) impactables 6

7 Hw Humana supprts quality imprvement Humana cnducts utreaches t physicians and their patients with Humana cverage t d the fllwing: Prvide Star Quality Reprts highlighting patients needing preventive services Facilitate quality visits/relatinships (prvider engagement representatives) Prmte physician Star rewards Encurage use f electrnic medical recrds (EMRs) and lab cnnectins Assist with data cllectin Execute clinical and incentive prgrams t supprt patient well-being 7

8 Methds fr submitting supplemental data 1. Claims/encunters - Mst preferred methd fr gap clsure Lessen the need fr submissin f data by ensuring prper cdes are included n claims. 2. Medical recrds cnnectivity Allw Humana t cnnect electrnically with prvider electrnic medical recrds and exchange clinical data. Send yur Humana-cvered patient s medical recrds autmatically t Humana after each episde f care. 3. Data feeds Enable prviders t extract data frm their electrnic medical recrd int a standardized layut and prvide it n a regular basis t Humana via secure r FTP. Extract data frm EMRs t create the file fr submissin. 4. Attestatins Ensure pen gaps reprts have been cmpleted. Verify that cmpleted reprts are signed by a practitiner with apprved credentials (M.D., N.P., P.A., D.O., R.P.H.). 5. Cpies f medical recrds Submit medical recrds t clse gaps in care. Be sure t include tw patient identifiers and the minimal infrmatin required by the measures. Prvide medical recrds t Humana via uplad, fax r mail. 8

9 HEDIS Stars measures 9

10 HEDIS Stars measures HEDIS Stars measures have an assigned weight. The weight is indicative f the measure s value within the Stars rating scale. Generally, utcme measures are tripleweighted, cmpared t screenings measures that are single-weighted. The cmbined rates f the HEDIS Stars measures cnstitute 27 percent f the Stars scre. Measure Weight Breast cancer screening 1 Clrectal cancer screening 1 Adult BMI assessment 1 Care fr lder adults medicatin review 1 Care fr lder adults functinal status assessment Care fr lder adults pain assessment 1 Osteprsis management 1 Diabetes care eye exam 1 Diabetes care kidney disease mnitring 1 Diabetes care bld sugar cntrlled 3 Cntrlling bld pressure 3 Rheumatid arthritis management 1 Plan all-cause readmissins 3 Medicatin recnciliatin pst-discharge 1 Statin therapy fr patients with cardivascular disease

11 Osteprsis management in wmen wh had a fracture (OMW) Percentage f wmen 67 t 85 years ld wh suffered a fracture and had either a bne mineral density (BMD) test r prescriptin fr a drug t treat r prevent steprsis in the six mnths after the fracture. Ntes: A patient wh had a BMD test 24 mnths befre the fracture r a prescriptin t treat r prevent steprsis within 12 mnths befre the fracture is excluded frm the denminatr. A cpy f the radilgy reprt shuld be btained and filed in the patient s medical recrd. 11

12 Cmprehensive diabetes care (CDC) Percentage f patients 18 t 75 years ld with diabetes (Type 1 r Type 2) wh had each f the fllwing: Bld sugar cntrlled (CDC-HbA1c) measure Result must be recrded and 9 percent r less fr Medicare Advantage Star reprting fr cmpliance. The last reading/result f the measurement year will be used fr HEDIS reprting, and perfrmance rating fr a care pprtunity may repen with a nncmpliant r missing result. Eye exam (dilated r retinal) (CDC-eye) A cmprehensive eye exam by an eye care prfessinal shuld be perfrmed and read during the measurement year fr cmpliance. A negative eye exam by an eye care prfessinal in the year prir t the measurement year can clse the care pprtunity (ICD-10 cde submissin required). Diabetic nephrpathy screening (CDC-neph) T be cmpliant, a patient must have had a nephrpathy screening, nephrlgy cnsult r dispensed prescriptin fr angitensin-cnverting enzyme (ACE) inhibitr/angitensin receptr blcker (ARB) therapy. 12

13 Hw t address the HbA1c care pprtunity Ensure the patient has taken the test Ensure crrect cding fr HbA1c result n a claim (CPT II) Wrk with the patient t achieve an HbA1c within acceptable limits Accurately dcument the result in the medical recrd, including date f service Use lab and supplemental data feeds 13

14 Best practices fr CDC-eye measure Review and use apprpriate CPT II cdes t indicate review f eye exam results. Refer patients t cvered eye care prfessinals and schedule appintments fr patients, if necessary. Ensure use f prper diagnsis cdes t reprt negative test results fr retinpathy. Utilize mbile eye exam units using fundus phtgraphy t capture image f the retina. 14

15 Best practices fr diabetic nephrpathy screening Use Medicare Stars checklist fr reference and place n tp f chart as a reminder t discuss with patient. Review diabetes services needed at each ffice visit. Order labs prir t appintments fr diabetic patients.. Prvide a test ptin in ffice. Send reminders t patients with either Type 1 r Type 2 diabetes regarding required testing. Cnnect patients t cmmunity and/r health plan resurces. 15

16 Cntrlling bld pressure (CBP) Percentage f patients diagnsed with hypertensin whse bld pressure (BP) was adequately cntrlled during the measurement year: Patients years ld whse BP was less than 140/90 mmhg Patients years ld with a diagnsis f diabetes whse BP was less than 140/90 mmhg Patients years ld withut a diagnsis f diabetes whse BP was less than 150/90 mmhg The last reading/result f the measurement year will be used fr HEDIS reprting and perfrmance rating. Ntes: CBP is a chart chase measure ( chart chase is the term used fr recrds cllectin seasn); therefre, the fllwing medical recrd dcumentatin is required: Hypertensin diagnsis dcumented n r befre June 30 f the measurement year Actual bld pressure reading (t pass, the mst recent adequately cntrlled bld pressure reading f the year must be dcumented) 16

17 Medicatin recnciliatin pst-discharge (MRP) Percentage f discharges frm Jan. 1 Dec. 1 f the measurement year fr patients 18 years ld and lder fr whm medicatins were recnciled frm the date f discharge thrugh 30 days. Ntes: Medicatin recnciliatin is the prcess f reviewing medicatins given in the hspital with thse taken regularly t prevent duplicatin r interactins. Medicatin recnciliatin must be cnducted by a prescribing practitiner, clinical pharmacist r registered nurse, as dcumented thrugh either administrative data r medical recrd review. Ensure dcumentatin n the encunter includes sme mentin f the inpatient/snf stay and/r that they were recently discharged. 17

18 Methds t address the MRP clinical care pprtunity Submit Current Prcedural Terminlgy (CPT ) cdes*: (days 1-7 pst-discharge) (days 8-14 pst-discharge) 1111F (within 30 days pst-discharge); Include Natinal Prvider Identifier (NPI) Cmplete an electrnic attestatin frm and/r Star Quality Reprt. Ensure medical recrd is submitted shwing cmpletin. *A medical cder reviews the patient s medical recrd and assigns the pertinent cde based n qualifying dcumentatin f medicatin recnciliatin. These cdes are transmitted t Humana via supplemental data feed by uplading electrnic medical recrds directly t Humana s secure prtal r faxed t Humana Recrd Retrieval. If the clinical pprtunity remains pen by the end f the year, Humana will cnduct a chart review t identify MRP cmpletin. 18

19 Plan all-cause readmissin (PCR) Percentage f patients 65 years ld and lder discharged frm a hspital stay and readmitted t a hspital within 30 days, either fr the same cnditin r a different reasn Ntes: Effrts frm the plan and physicians supprting crdinatin f care and preventin f readmissins imprve this rate. This is a highly leveraged measure and ne f the mst difficult t cntrl. 19

20 Best practices fr addressing the PCR measure Prmte health plan services (e.g., transitin f care, care crdinatin, hme health, etc.). Be aware f the daily discharge census. Manage scheduling capacity t be able t see patients wh have been discharged frm a hspital stay within seven days. Cnduct medicatin recnciliatin during first pst-discharge visit with patient. Discuss with patients if they have issues accessing the resurces necessary t prevent a readmissin (e.g., transprtatin fr fllw-up appintments and necessary medicatins). Cnnect patient t cmmunity resurces and/r health plan care management services t help remve barriers t care and/r access t resurces. 20

21 Statin therapy fr patients with cardivascular disease (SPC) Percentage f men years ld and wmen years ld, identified as having clinical athersclertic cardivascular disease (ASCVD) and dispensed at least ne high- r mderate-intensity statin medicatin during the measurement year. Ntes: A patient is excluded if there is a diagnsis f: - Pregnancy - Drugs administered fr in vitr fertilizatin r dispensed with clmiphene medicatin - End-stage renal disease - Mysitis - Myalgia - Cirrhsis - Mypathy - Rhabdmylysis Patients are identified fr the eligible ppulatin in tw ways: Event (during prir year): Mycardial infarctin (inpatient), crnary artery bypass grafting (CABG), percutaneus crnary interventin (PCI), ther revascularizatin Diagnsis: At least ne acute inpatient r utpatient visit with ischemic vascular disease (IVD) diagnsis in current and previus year 21

22 Patient safety Stars measures 22

23 Patient safety measures Patient safety Stars measures have an assigned weight. The weight is indicative f the measure s value within the Stars rating scale. Because medicatin adherence measures heavily influence patient utcmes, mst are tripleweighted. * SUPD was single-weighted as an intrductry measure, but will nw be triple-weighted. Measure Medicatin adherence: diabetes medicatin Medicatin adherence: hypertensin (ACE/ARB) Medicatin adherence: chlesterl (statins) Cmprehensive medicatin review (CMR) Statin use in persns with diabetes (SUPD) Weight * The cmbined rates f the patient safety Stars measures cnstitute 13 percent f the Stars scre. 23

24 Medicatin adherence (Part D) measures Percentage f patients 18 years ld r lder wh fill a prescriptin 80 percent r mre f the time fr the fllwing: Diabetes: - Biguanides - Sulfnylureas - Thiazlidinedines - DPP-IV inhibitrs - Incretin mimetics - Meglitinides Nte: Patients wh take insulin are nt included. Bld pressure: - ACE inhibitr - ARB drug - Direct renin inhibitr drug Chlesterl - Statin drugs 24

25 Medicatin therapy management (MTM) Cmpletin rate fr cmprehensive medicatin review (CMR) - Measures the percent f Medicare Part D beneficiaries 18 years ld r lder enrlled in the MTM prgram fr at least 60 days wh received a CMR MTM eligibility criteria: - Patients have three f the fllwing five chrnic diseases: cngestive heart failure (CHF), diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia, hypertensin r bne disease arthritis steprsis - Minimum f eight Part D medicatins - Anticipated Part D drug cst f mre than $3,967 25

26 Statin use in persns with diabetes (SUPD) Percentage f Medicare Part D beneficiaries 40 t 75 years ld dispensed medicatin fr diabetes wh receive a statin medicatin Ntes: - A patient is excluded if in hspice. - Prescriptin claims data are used as a prxy fr diabetes diagnsis in this measure. - This measure uses nly prescriptin claims as a surce f data. 26
