Review of Minutes July 9, 2013

Old Business ProDUR Max Dose Analysis Katie Lockhart, MA Senior Healthcare Analyst

Background Currently, the Prospective DUR Maximum Dose Edit is set at 225% The general consensus amongst the DUR Board was that the limit was exceedingly high No concrete recommendations have been offered at this time due to the ambiguity surrounding the ramifications from changing the limit. The goal of this analysis is to present relevant data to assist in determining which adjustment should be made to the ProDUR Max Dose edit, if any

Executive Summary Approximately 3% of claims a month exceed the FDB recommended max dose which account for 3.3% of total spend for the month. Only 0.1% of claims a month meet or exceed 225% of the FDB recommended max dose which account for 0.14% of total spend for the month. At 100% or below the FDB recommended max dose 60% or more of the claims belong to adults.

Data Assumptions Report encompasses data from July 1 st to July 31 st 2013. Adult max dose was applied to children. Final Status of a claim was used for this analysis. Medications could be unpaid based on criteria outside of max dose.

Potential Impact 40,000 35,000 30,000 25,000 20,000 15,000 10,000 Over FDB Max Dose 25% and over 50% and over 100% and over 150% and over 225% and over 5,000 0 # of claims # of distinct Patients # of Adult Claims # of Adult Patients # of Ped Claims # of Ped Patients

Potential Impact by Percentage 12.00% 10.00% 8.00% 6.00% 4.00% Over FDB Max Dose 25% and over 50% and over 100% and over 150% and over 225% and over 2.00% 0.00% % of claims % of distinct Patients % of Adult Claims % of Adult Patients % of Ped Claims % of Ped Patients % of Total Paid % of Total Paid Adult % of Total Paid Kid

Age Distribution of Children 700 Number of Kids with a claim over FDB Max Dose 600 500 400 300 Total 200 100 0 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20

Tennessee Compared to Other States High Dose ProDUR Edit Analysis 80 2.5 70 60 2 Piad Percentage (Bar) 50 40 30 1.5 1 % of Total Claims (Line) 20 10 0.5 0 State 1 (5%) State 2(15%) State 3(100%) Hard Edit Tennessee State 0 Paid Percentage % of claims

Next Steps and Recommendations

Conservative Scenario Change Max dose limit to 150% of FDB Considerations: Edit may be considered more clinically relevant Paid percentage <50% Less impact at point of sale versus other limits Potentially double (~1.8x) the impact vs current edit May not be very significant overall versus other limits

Aggressive Scenario Change Max dose limit to 25% above FDB Max Considerations: Impacting more than 10x current number of claims for current edit Point of sale impact may/may not over-burden pharmacists based upon claim volume (1.79%) Not alerting on claims at FDB max and may allow prescribers a dose titration above the max dose

Very Aggressive Scenario Change limit to 100% FDB Max dose as a hard edit Considerations: Hard edit would need to be overridden by PA Prescribers would be allowed a dose titration above FDB Max Relative significant increased impact Implementation strategy may be needed due to strain on call center Potentially 200-250 more PA calls per day

Evolution of Pharmacist-Provided Clinical Services

Medication Therapy Management is a distinct service or group of services that optimize therapeutic outcomes for individual patients.

Blocking Outlier Prescribers High Opiate Prescribers Ray McIntire, DPh

Background TennCare currently pays for prescriptions from all prescribers, regardless of their participation or network status. In 2011, TennCare pharmacy began to use a formal process to no longer pay for prescriptions from non-participating prescribers when they were found to be outliers in their prescribing habits. Process begins with identifying top narcotic prescribers, or the process has also began with a referral / complaint or when a prescriber has been in the media for being arrested or having their license disciplined.

Background In 2012, TennCare pharmacy moved away from the use of a list of high prescribers based on volume of opiates prescribed and percent of opiates prescribed. A new algorithm, which is still being evaluated for ways to improve, is intended to identify prescribers who: Prescribe many of the same types of opiates for many different patients, and appear to not evaluate each patient based on their own unique pain relief needs. Prescribe larger quantities of high-dose short-acting pure opiates compared with combination products and long-acting opiates Prescribe on average, more morphine equivalents than others All specialists and Suboxone prescribers are removed from the analysis

Background Once the top prescribers are identified, and candidates for blocking are chosen, TennCare s MCO s are notified. Once the MCO s verify that the prescriber is not needed for their network and agree to proceed, each prescriber is presented to TennCare s DUR Board, with blinded data for a final vote for either blocking or retaining. Prescribers are notified if blocked, and have 30 days to appeal. If the prescriber appeals, the DUR Board makes a final decision at the next quarterly meeting. All enrollees are notified that TennCare will no longer pay for prescriptions from their provider, and prescribers are referred to the State Board of Medical Examiners.

Candidates for Blocking TennCare pharmacy analyzed the opiate prescribing data for all prescribers with more than 50 opiate prescriptions in the 2 nd quarter of 2013. 1034 prescribers were analyzed The average number of opiate prescriptions per prescriber is 137. The highest number of opiate prescriptions was 1314. Four candidates selected for blocking were listed in the Top 100, and each prescriber has already been involuntary terminated from the MCO s due to their billing practices. Since they were already terminated by the MCO s it was not necessary to first refer these prescribers to the MCO s for signoff.

Prescriber#1 Both Prescriber#1, who is an Advance Practice Nurse, and the prescriber s Medical Director have been terminated from the MCO s for their billing practices. Prescriber#1 is not high volume, but is ranked #11 in the algorithm, and is an outlier in the following categories: Ratio of C-II to C-III opiates Ratio of Pure short-acting opiate to Combination products Average Morphine equivalents per patient per day. From TennCare claims the average MEQ per patient per day is 127mg. When claims from the CSDB are added, the total average MEQ per patient per day equals 216.58mg.

Prescriber#2 and Prescriber#3 Both Prescriber#2, who is an Advance Practice Nurse, and the prescriber s Medical Director (Prescriber#3) have been terminated from the MCO s for their billing practices. Prescriber#3, who is at least 80 years old, has claims in the TennCare paid algorithm, but all claims in the CSDB show up in Prescriber#2 s name. Prescriber#3 is #19 ranked in the algorithm, Prescriber#2 is #26 Due to data integrity issues, with pharmacies submitting different information to TennCare and to the CSDB, we are submitting both Prescriber#2 and Prescriber#3 for blocking. Prescriber#3 s License Verification with the State of TN shows Missionary Overseas

Prescriber#2 and Prescriber#3 Prescriber#2 has a higher volume and is an outlier in the following categories: Number of opiate prescriptions Average Morphine equivalents per patient per day. From TennCare claims the average MEQ per patient per day is 43.4mg. When claims from the CSDB are added, the total average MEQ per patient per day equals 95.88mg. For the 2 nd quarter, 330 additional prescriptions for CNS depressants were found on the CSMD, not found in TennCare claims.

Prescriber#2 and Prescriber#3 When looking at all claims, Prescriber#2 is commonly prescribing the cocktail for many patients, which is a combination of: Opiate analgesic Benzodiazepine Carisoprodol All non-opiate CNS depressants can be converted to diazepam equivalents. In addition to 96mg of MEQ per person per day, Prescriber#2 s patients also take on average 23.3mg of Diazepam equivalents per day.

Prescriber#4 Prescriber#4, is an Advance Practice Nurse, who has been terminated from the MCO s for because of billing practices. Prescriber#4 is high volume, and has a significantly lower percent of controlled substances to all paid claims (probably due to prescribing in a Family Practice and in a Pain Clinc), and is an outlier in the following categories: Number of Opiates Average Morphine equivalents per patient per day. From TennCare claims the average MEQ per patient per day is 91.32mg. When claims from the CSDB are added, the total average MEQ per patient per day equals 216.19mg.

Prescriber#4 When looking at all claims, Prescriber#4 is commonly prescribing the cocktail for many patients (opiate, benzodiazepine, carisoprodol). In addition to 216mg of MEQ per person per day, Prescriber#4 s patients also take on average 16.2mg of Diazepam equivalents per day.

Prescriber#5 Prescriber#5, is an Advance Practice Nurse, who has been terminated from the MCO s for because of billing practices. Prescriber#5 has a low volume of TennCare paid claims and claims on the CSMD, is ranked #85 in the algorithm and is an outlier only in the following category (borderline at that): Average Morphine equivalents per patient per day. From TennCare claims the average MEQ per patient per day is 54.95mg. When claims from the CSDB are added, the total average MEQ per patient per day equals 96.1mg. Our recommendation is to not block at this time, but to continue to monitor prescribing and utilization.
