Innovative Health Plans • Cover Oregon allows carriers to offer plans that demonstrate innovation through the use of networks, wellness programs, or other options that do not include premiums or benefits. • ATRIO will offer an innovative plan designed to exclude from the cost of coverage those treatments that, proven through evidence-based medicine, do not improve the health status of the patient. Our Pioneer Plans are modeled after the OHP Prioritized List and are referred to as Evidence-Based Health Plans.

  15. Population Demographics • Under 65 • Most already have some sort of coverage • Kids • Some very sick, some acute, some who don’t use any services • Not as much medical management as Medicare and Medicaid • Expecting small enrollment in 2014

  16. Provider Matters • Provider networks / contracting • PPO “wrap” networks • Leverage existing ATRIO network • First Health (regional) • Multi-Plan (national)

  17. Medical Management • Different timeliness and Prior Auth rules than Medicare and Medicaid • Standard Plans - See attached PPO Authorization List • Pioneer Plans - See attached EPO Authorization List • Formulary • MedImpact will continue to support our formulary management. There will be 1 formulary for all plans. PA Criteria may differ depending on adherence to preferred list. • Delegation • ATRIO will continue to partner with the SACs for Case Management, Disease Management, Transitions of Care and other QA programs.

  18. Quality Assurance • Quality Assurance is a component with several requirements from both Cover Oregon. • Much of this is not yet defined • The plan must have some form of accreditation. • ATRIO has chosen to become URAC Accredited. • This is the easier one • All of this will leverage many programs and policies already in place.
