59 Multiple Dosage Forms of Ziprasidone Prescribed Concomitantly Plan: Send out DUR letters to prescribers of patients currently receiving > 160mg daily. Magellan will create a new initiative to make therapeutic duplication for multiple capsule strengths of ziprasidone a hard stop edit. When this new initiative is ready to be implemented, Idaho Medicaid will run a more current three month look at patients receiving multiple dosages to identify any new patients since this data was evaluated. 59

60 Multiple Dosage Forms of Ziprasidone Prescribed Concomitantly Paragraph in letter: The usual maximum recommended daily dosage for ziprasidone is 160mg (80mg twice daily). The DUR board is reviewing Idaho Medicaid participants who are receiving more than 160mg/day of ziprasidone using multiple capsule strengths. As of 3/1/15, multiple strengths of ziprasidone capsules will no longer pay at the pharmacy without prior authorization. During a recent review it was noted that your patient, $MEMBER NAME, has been receiving more than 160 mg/day of ziprasidone using multiple capsule strengths. If you feel that it is clinically justified for your patient to remain on multiple strengths of ziprasidone capsules, please submit a quantity override prior authorization request for review by the department. A copy of this form is enclosed for your convenience. 60

81 Colcrys DUR Background In June 2006, the FDA announced a new drug safety initiative to remove unapproved drugs from the market, including a final guidance entitled Marketed Unapproved Drugs-Compliance Policy Guide (CPG). Notice that any illegally marketed product is subject to FDA enforcement at any time Clarified that the FDA intends to use a risk-based approach to enforcement July 29, 2009: Colcrys approved for Familial Mediterranean Fever (FMF) July 30, 2009: Colcrys approved for Acute Gout Flares October 16, 2009: Colcrys approved for Chronic Gout September 26, 2014: Mitigare approved for prophylaxis of gout flares 81

82 Colcrys DUR 2012 American College of Rheumatology Guidelines for Management of Gout states that NSAIDS, corticosteroids, or oral colchicine are all first-line options for the treatment of acute gout. The guidelines also state that low-dose NSAID therapy or oral colchicine are firstline for gout attack prophylactic therapy for the treatment of chronic gout. These recommendations are based on level of evidence and safety but do not take cost-effectiveness of therapies into consideration. 82

83 Colcrys DUR Prior authorization is not needed for preferred oral NSAIDs or for corticosteroids. Idaho Medicaid s current therapeutic criteria for Colcrys ACUTE GOUT Contra-indication or failure to either NSAID or corticosteroid (oral or injectable) CHRONIC GOUT (used in conjunction with oral allopurinol) Contra-indication or failure to NSAID OTHER INDICATIONS Case by case evaluation 83

90 Colcrys DUR Prior Authorization denials 1. Requested for acute gout; No trial and failure to either NSAIDs or corticosteroids. 2. Requested for chronic gout; request stated persistent symptoms on allopurinol but not consistently filling allopurinol. 3. Requested for chronic gout; patient not on allopurinol. 90

91 Colcrys DUR Recommendations 1. Continue to require prior authorization for Colcrys. From previous DUR, off-label use for Colcrys exists. From current DUR, not all patients meet Idaho Medicaid s current therapeutic criteria. 2. Remind pharmacies that they can run a prescription for 3 tablets for acute gout as an emergency override. 3. Consistently request renal function numbers rather than just accept chronic kidney disease on prior authorization request. 4. Review duration of colchicine used for prophylaxis of gout flares. Prophylactic therapy may be beneficial for at least the first six months of uric acid lowering therapy. Don t just renew prior authorization annually for chronic gout prophylaxis. 91

110 How was the SHIP Developed? 2013 SHIP planning process numerous Idaho healthcare stakeholders participated over 6 month planning period. 60 focus group and town hall meetings held in Over 300 individuals involved in the planning process. SHIP Steering Committee received recommendations from four workgroups: Network Design Quality Measures HIT/Data Payment Reform 110

111 How was the SHIP Developed? SHIP Steering Committee considered recommendations and finalized plan design. SHIP submitted to CMMI December 2013 as product of planning process. Governor Otter signed executive order creating Idaho Healthcare Coalition to guide SHIP implementation. SHIP was basis of design for model testing proposal/grant application submitted to CMMI in July

112 Primary SHIP Goal Redesign Idaho s healthcare delivery system to evolve from a fee-for-service, volume-based system to a value-based system of care based on improved health outcomes. 112

113 SHIP Proposal Goals Goal 1: Build 180 PCMH primary care practices with 900 primary care providers serving 1.3M Idahoans Goal 2: Adoption and use of EHRs and IHDE connections among the 180 Model Test PCMHs, and across the Medical Neighborhood. Goal 3: Establish 7 Regional Collaboratives to support the integration of each PCMH with the broader Medical Neighborhood. Goal 4: Improve rural patient access to PCMH by developing 75 virtual PCMHs. 113

114 SHIP Proposal Goals Goal 5: Build a statewide data analytics system. Goal 6: Align payment mechanisms across payers to transform payment methodology from volume to value. Goal 7: Reduce healthcare costs 114

115 Idaho SHIP Model Elements Strong primary care system in rural and urban communities throughout the state. Patient Centered Medical Homes (PCMH) foundational. Medical Neighborhood links PCMH to other needed health and social services. Regional Cooperatives (RC) support local primary care providers and medical neighborhood. 115

116 Idaho SHIP Model Elements Idaho Healthcare Coalition (IHC) guides SHIP model implementation at the state level Health information is linked electronically by EHR and HIT. Data analytics used to improve individual patient care and address population health trends. Payment methodologies are aligned across major payers. Patient engagement/accountability key to success. 116
