1 TMG STARS

2 2 STARS Program Implemented in 2008 by CMS. Tool to inform beneficiaries of quality of various health plans 5-star rating system Used to adjust payments to health plans (bonus to plans and rebates passed to members). Not all measures are weighted equally (HA1C <9 is a triple weighted measure ) Five star plans allowed to sign up new members all year long without restriction

3 STARS SYSTEM 5 CATEGORIES Staying healthy: screening tests and vaccines. Includes whether members got various screening tests, vaccines, and other check-ups to help them stay healthy. Managing chronic (long-term) conditions: Includes how often members with certain conditions got recommended tests and treatments to help manage their condition. Member experience with the health plan: Includes member ratings of the plan. Member complaints and changes in the health plan s performance: Includes how often Medicare found problems with the plan and how often members had problems with the plan. Includes how much the plan s performance has improved (if at all) over time. Health plan customer service: Includes how well the plan handles member appeals. 3

4 STARS RATING Performance is not weighted by plan enrollment; a contract performing well with many enrollees does not receive any extra credit for providing highquality care to more people than a contract with lower enrollment. For the majority of measures in the Stars Rating program, performance is not adjusted for patient characteristics or socioeconomic status. 4

5 BONUS PAYMENT Bonus payments are awarded for contracts receiving 4 or more stars. 5

8 REWARDS FOR STARS ARE TWO-PART Direct bonus payments to the plan operator Alignment Rebates which must be returned to the beneficiary in the form of additional or enhanced benefits, such as reduced premiums or copayments, expanded coverage 8

9 BONUS PAYMENTS Paid per enrollee and are calculated as a share of the MA benchmarks, which vary by county Bonus payments vary by county. Bonuses for 4-star plans or higher are 5 percent of the area s benchmark 9

10 REBATES In past MA plans have received a rebate equal to a percentage (previously 75 percent) of the difference between the plan s bid and the benchmark for that area if the bid is below the benchmark Plans bidding above the benchmark receive no rebate and are only paid the benchmark amount per beneficiary by CMS plan beneficiaries selecting that plan have to pay an additional premium to make up the difference. 10

31 Medication Reconciliation Post Discharge (MRP) Percentage of Medicare members > 18 years of age who are discharged from an acute or non-acute inpatient facility for whom medications were reconciled within 30 days of discharge. Medication reconciliation is the process of creating the most accurate list possible of all medications a patient is taking including drug name, dosage, frequency, and route and comparing that list against the discharge orders, with the goal of providing correct medications to the patient. It helps to assure the quality of care coordination as well as member safety in their transition home. This measure can be met by completing and documenting a medication reconciliation, including a medication list, in the member s medical record within 30 days of discharge.
