44 44 CMS: Adherence Measures

45 Proportion of Days Covered (PDC) CMS contracts with Acumen, LLC for the analyses of Medicare data to generate the rates for the medication measures PDC is the PQA-recommended methodology for estimation of medication adherence for patients using chronic medications PDC > 80% = Adherent PDC = # of days covered by the prescription fills during the denominator period # of days between first fill and the end of the measurement period 45

46 Adherence Performance Measure Calculations Considered an Intermediate Outcome Measure (weighted x3) for 3 drug classes Total weight of 9 in the CMS Star Ratings Select Diabetes, RAS, and Statin medications Percentage of patients taking medications in a particular drug class that are considered adherent (PDC >80% for the individual) >2 claims for a medication within the same therapeutic drug class during the measurement year Example: ü 100 members fill a statin medication at least twice during the measurement year è Denominator = 100 ü 83 of the 100 members have a PDC > 80% è Numerator = 83 ü 83/100= 83% è Statin Adherence Performance Measure = 83% 46

47 CMS Adherence Measure: Diabetes Denominator Members with at least two prescription claims for a non-insulin diabetes medication during the measurement year Beneficiaries are only included in the measure calculation if the first fill of their medication occurs at least 91 days before the end of the enrollment period. Numerator Members with at least two prescription claims for a non-insulin diabetes medication who fill their prescription often enough to cover 80% or more of the time they are supposed to be taking the mediation during the measurement year. Exclusions End-stage renal disease (ESRD); Hospice Claim for insulin 47

48 CMS Adherence Measure: Renin Angiotensin System (RAS) Antagonist Denominator Members with at least two prescription claims for a RAS medication during the measurement year Beneficiaries are only included in the measure calculation if the first fill of their medication occurs at least 91 days before the end of the enrollment period. Numerator Members with at least two prescription claims for a RAS medication who fill their prescription often enough to cover 80% or more of the time they are supposed to be taking the mediation during the measurement year. Exclusions ESRD; Hospice Claim for sacubitril/valsartan 48

50 Is AM adherent to her diabetes medication? AM is a 74 year old female prescribed only metformin to manage her diabetes. In January 2017, she filled her first two prescriptions through Kaiser Permanente pharmacy, then discovered she could receive it for free from an outside pharmacy, and filled all subsequent prescriptions through them. AM fills all of her prescriptions on time every 3 months and takes her medications on a daily basis. Will AM be considered adherent for the 2017 performance year? 50

51 Is AM adherent to her diabetes medication? AM is a 74 year old female prescribed only metformin to manage her diabetes. In January 2017, she filled her first two prescriptions through Kaiser Permanente pharmacy, then discovered she could receive it for free from an outside pharmacy, and filled all subsequent prescriptions through them. AM fills all of her prescriptions on time every 3 months and takes her medications on a daily basis. Will AM be considered adherent for the 2017 performance year? AM had > 2 prescription claims for a diabetes medication in 2017, therefore she will be included in the denominator of the diabetes measure If the outside pharmacy is not adjudicating the claims for metformin through the insurance provider, AM will be considered NON-adherent for the 2017 performance year, even though she is filling her medications on time. Claims must be captured through the insurance provider to count. 51
