  1. ADVANTAGE Health Solutions, Inc.SM ADVANTAGE Special Needs Plan Provider Model of Care Training

  2. Advantage Mission Provide managed care solutions to improve outcomes, keep costs low and improve the health and wellness of the communities we serve

  3. MOC Provider Training Requirement Upon initial enrollment, DE-SNP PCPs will undergo a comprehensive face-to-face or, web-based training. • All PCPs will receive general training that addresses all aspects of the health plan MOC, as well as the special needs of the SNP Population. • All PCPs will be required to complete the MOC training upon initial enrollment, on an annual basis and as otherwise required by ADVANTAGE . • DE-SNP participating PCPs must successfully complete the training before enrollment can be considered complete.

  4. What are Medicare Special Needs Plans (SNPs) Medicare SNPs are specially designed Medicare Advantage Plans, which have the following features: • Enrollment is limited to Dual Eligible (DE) Medicare/Medicaid populations • Benefit plans are custom designed to meet the needs of this designated population • SNP members typically have additional election periods to change their Medicare coverage

  5. Purposes of SNP The purposes of the Special Needs Plan are to: • Increase plan & beneficiary participation in managed care • Encourage access of “special needs” populations • Provide better coordination of care between primary, acute, and long term care providers • Reduce fragmentation • Improve quality outcomes

  6. MEDICARE/MEDICAID COVERAGE If a member’s Medicaid status is Qualified Medicare Beneficiary (QMB) or Qualified Medicare Beneficiary Plus (QMB-Plus), he/she will pay $0 for Medicare covered services as set forth in the ADVANTAGE Health Solutions Summary of Benefits. If a members Medicaid status is not QMB or QMB-Plus, he/she may have to pay some coinsurance, co-payments, and deductibles depending on their Medicaid coverage, even if he/she otherwise qualify for full Medicaid benefits. A member’s Medicaid benefits will vary based on income level and other Medicaid Standards. Medicaid benefits may also change during each year. Regardless, while a member of the ADVANTAGE Health Solutions Special Needs Plan, members will have access to this plan’s benefits even if their Medicaid status changes.

  7. SNP Approved Counties Hamilton, Hancock, Johnson, Marion, Morgan

  8. Categories of Dual Eligibility The categories of Dual Eligibility under the state Medicaid program are: • Qualified Medicare Beneficiary (QMB): Individuals whose Medicare Part A and Part B premiums, cost sharing, and deductibles are paid by Medicaid. This excludes Part D cost sharing. • Qualified Medicare beneficiary with full Medicaid (QMB Plus): Individuals whose Medicare Part A and Part B premiums, cost sharing, and deductibles are paid by Medicaid and receive full Medicaid benefits. This excludes Part D cost sharing. • Specified Low Income Medicare Beneficiary (SLMB): Medicare Part B premiums are paid by Medicaid. • Specified Low Income Beneficiary with full Medicaid (SLMB Plus): Individuals whose Medicare Part B premiums are paid by Medicaid and receive full Medicaid benefits. • Qualified Disabled & Working Individual (QDWI): Individuals whose Medicare Part A premiums are paid by Medicaid. • Qualifying Individual (QI): Individual whose Medicare Part B premiums are paid by Medicaid. • Full Benefit Dual Eligible (FBDE): Individuals whose Medicare Part A premiums are paid by Medicaid, and in certain cases, Medicare Part B premiums.

  10. SNP Individualized Care Plan (ICP) SNP members have an Interdisciplinary Care Team that has clearly defined roles. The team provides the infrastructure necessary to coordinate the plan of care (POC) and to provide appropriate staff and program oversight. Interdisciplinary Care Team functions include: developing/implementing individualized care plans, coordinating care and sharing information with providers, caregivers and the member.

  11. SNP Individualized Care Plan (ICP) (cont.) Bio-Psycho-Social (BPS) Model Bio-psycho-social systems focus on member health and well-being using the critical components of behavior change, relationship building and member systems engagement that can result in the member realizing resiliency and self-efficacy. 11

  12. SNP Individualized Care Plan (ICP) (cont.) Guiding Principles of the BPS model Moving from disease focus to member focus Identifying and employing the most effective intensity of evidence-based, plan-covered systems and services Behavior engagement for change Teaming with the member and care providers to enhance care outcomes Collaboration with plan sponsors to influence benefit design that supports our model 12

  13. Provider Network

  14. Life of a Member…

  15. Health Risk Assessment (HRA) Assessments are initially mailed to the member within 10 days of CMS confirmation of eligibility. The D-SNP Program will complete health screenings within 90 calendar days of member’s effective date and AT LEAST annually thereafter (within one year of the last HRA). • Member or Care Giver is requested to complete the HRA and return to ADVANTAGE within 15 days (a self-addressed stamped envelope is provided). A health professional performs a telephonic outreach if HRA is not returned within 30 days of CMS confirmation. • At least three attempts are made to have a successful contact. A successful contact is defined as: • assisting the member to complete the HRA telephonically; • getting care giver or member’s verbal commitment to complete and submit the HRA within ten days; or establishing a more convenient date and time for member to take a follow-up call to complete the HRA; or scheduling an appointment with Member’s PCP.

  16. Health Risk Assessment (HRA) – cont. Once an assessment is received the results are entered into our system. This data is collated with claims encounter data and the member is stratified into their risk level (1 – 4). • ADVANTAGE will produce monthly management reports on our completion rate and identify members who have not completed a health screen within 30, 60 and 90 calendar days.

  17. Assignment and Stratification Within 10 days of completion of HRA, members will be assigned a dedicated Health Coach or Case Manager to assist the member in navigating the health care system in both the ambulatory and inpatient settings to ensure timely and appropriate access to needed services. • Each member will have an assigned case manager or health coach who is the primary liaison to the member, providers, and health plan. • A Health Coach for low level risk stratified members • A Certified RN Case Manager for medium to high level stratified members. • An Advanced Nurse Practitioner in the most complex cases

  18. Assignment andStratification Each member’s health care professional acts as the liaison to the ICT and will assist the member and primary medical physician in the development of the member’s plan of care (POC) by providing all relevant information available: • Pharmacy and medical claims • History of admissions and use of ER • Review of primary medical record information if member at high risk • Member and/or care giver/taker interviews • HCC scores • Clinical impressions gleaned from interviews and face to face visits.

  19. Interdisciplinary Care Plan (ICP) ADVANTAGE will develop and implement an individualized care plan (ICP) in consultation with the PCP and the beneficiary/caregiver for all beneficiaries. • ADVANTAGE communicates this ICP to the PCP (via e-mail, fax, or written correspondence with the beneficiary/caregiver). • ADVANTAGE conducts face-to-face or telephonic meetings with the provider, beneficiary/caregiver and/or disease manager/case manager or health coach. • The care plan is reviewed • at least every 6 months for members who are stratified at levels 1 and 2 • at least every 3 months for members stratified at levels 3 and 4.

  20. ICP – cont. • Care Manager will monitor member profile of care (claims and lab data) at least quarterly to identify gaps in care and will perform outreach to encourage member compliance according to goals of member’s Plan of Care and HEDIS measures for preventive services. • The ICP will initiate the Transitional Care Program for all Members during the acute or sub-acute admission to ensure that appropriate resources are available and engaged across the continuum of care. • All ICPs are HIPPA compliant and submitted to the PCP via a secure web-based provider portal or via secured encrypted email.
