4 What is HEDIS? Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set: HEDIS is a National Committee on Quality Assurance (NCQA)-developed tool used to measure performance on important dimensions of care and service. More than 90% of America s health plans use HEDIS. HEDIS makes it possible to compare the performance of health plans on an apples-to-apples basis. Measures address a range of health issues and outcomes. To ensure the validity of HEDIS results, all of the data is audited by certified auditors. NCQA has a process for evolving the measurement set each year.

5 What is QARR? Quality Assurance Reporting Requirements: The New York State Department of Health (NYSDOH) version of HEDIS Set of performance measures that health plans must report on an annual basis to NYSDOH under Medicaid Managed Care and Child Health Plus Includes performance measures related to many preventive health services, such as well-care visits, age-appropriate immunizations, screenings for cancer and comprehensive diabetes care Has many measures in common with HEDIS

6 Why is coding important for HEDIS and QARR? When documented, each measure includes a set of codes that meet the requirements for the measure. Codes may be ICD-10, CPT or HCPCS codes. Some measures are considered administrative only. This means the data for compliance comes strictly from claim and encounter submission. No medical record review is performed. If services are being performed but the codes are not being submitted on claims or encounters, you will not receive credit. In addition, if only some of the services are coded but others are not, you will not have met all the required components of the measure.

7 Coding focus: Adolescent well visits Measure description Diagnosis coding Procedure coding Members ages 12 to 21 years who have had at least one annual comprehensive well-care visit with a PCP or OB/GYN during the year 12 to 21 years of age, must be enrolled during the Z00.00, Z00.01, Z00.121, Z , 99385, 99394, 99395, G0438, G0439 Make sure your medical records reflect all of the following: a health and developmental history (both physical and mental), a physical exam, health education and anticipatory guidance. Do not include services rendered during an inpatient or emergency department visit, or that are specific to the assessment or treatment of an acute or chronic condition. Sick visits may be missed opportunities for your patient to get health checks; complete an annual exam during the sick visit.

To support a COPD diagnosis, perform and document a spirometry test prior to initiating pharmacotherapy treatment. Educate patients about the use of and compliance with both long-term and quick-relief medications, the proper use of metered inhalers and avoiding elements that trigger attacks.

29 Coding focus: Viral load suppression This measure is unique in that health plans do not report the data; instead the AIDS Institute and the Office of Quality and Patient Safety will calculate the performance in this measure using the laboratory testing data captured in the NYSDOH HIV Surveillance System. It is important to make sure patients with HIV keep their follow-up appointments and complete a viral load screening at least every six months or twice in one calendar year. Regular testing helps identify any needs for changes in a patient s medication regimen or helps determine if he or she is complying with treatment plans. Reaching viral load suppression can help your patients to live healthier, longer lives and reduce the risk of transmitting the virus to others. For more information on viral load suppression and HIV treatment guidelines, please visit the NYSDOH AIDS Institute website at Preschedule the next follow-up appointment while the patient is still in your office and make a reminder call prior to the appointment. Be sure to keep a copy of the lab results on file.
