  2. Quote of the Day “There was an important job to be done and Everybody was sure that Somebody would do it.  Anybody could have done it, but Nobody did it…Everybody blamed Somebody…when Nobody did what Anybody could have done.” (American Medical Directors Association, 2010) DRAFT

  3. Statewide Statistics - WHY • “Medicaid…covered 38% of Ohio children, including nearly 38,000 children with disabilities in 2010” (Health Policy Institute of Ohio, May 2011) • Ohio ranked 14th worst on Child Health Scorecard for potential to lead healthy lives (Commonwealth Fund, 2011) • 90% of the most costly 5% within Medicaid’s child population have manageable conditions such as behavioral health, asthma, minor infections, or prematurity (OHP, Medicaid Quality Strategy Presentation, 2011) • High Prevalence of Children Receiving Primarily Hospital-Based Care in the Costliest Five Percent of Medicaid Children: 40% in ABD and 50% in CFC (OHP, Medicaid Quality Strategy Presentation, 2011) DRAFT

  4. The Bottom Line - WHY We have to get BETTER in order for Ohio to have the HEALTHIEST KIDSin the nation! DRAFT

  5. Better Care = Better Results • Breakdown Barriers • Encourage Innovation • Teamwork • Track impacts, not numbers • Engage families • Reverse the trends DRAFT

  6. WHAT - is a Pediatric ACO? • Providers who work together, alongside families, to provide and coordinate services for individuals under 21 years of age; and collectively take accountability for improving the lives of these children. DRAFT

  7. WHAT - a Pediatric ACO is NOT? • Answer: Managed Care. BUT… an MCO can establish an entity that seeks recognition as an ACO. DRAFT

  8. Ohio’s Situation - HOW • This is not paint by numbers. • There is NO guidance from CMS. • We have a blank canvas and you get to help paint. DRAFT

  9. Authority for Ohio’s Pediatric ACO Program – more HOW • PPACA Sec. 2706: Pediatric Accountable Care Organization Demonstration Project • O.R.C. 5111.161: Recognition of Pediatric Accountable Care Organizations DRAFT

  10. WHEN • The process for applying for recognition as a Medicaid pediatric ACO will be in place in July 2012. DRAFT

  11. SOUP TO NUTS • OBJECTIVES • RECOGNITION PROCESS • GOVERNANCE STRUCTURE • FLEXIBILITY IN GOVERNANCE STRUCTURE • ENROLLEE AND FAMILY RIGHTS • THREE ACO MODELS • PERFORMANCE MEASURES DRAFT

  12. Pediatric ACO Objectives • Improve health outcomes • Incentivize more appropriate care • Assign high risk families and children a primary support team that will coordinate services across traditional boundaries • Smoother transitions • Create a single care plan for high risk families and children • Track performance measures • Share data across providers and public agencies DRAFT

  13. The Recognition Process • The law calls for a process to recognize Pediatric ACOs and new approaches to coordinating care. • Those seeking to be recognized in Ohio as Pediatric ACOs will have to explain how they will be accountable for care; how they will share data, and how they will collaborate with MCPs and community based organizations such as schools and social services. • They will also be required to have collaborative agreements with agreements with Primary Care Medical Homes, Pediatric Specialists, Community Pharmacies, Dentists, and CBHCs. • They must explain what region of the State they will be covering. • Finally, they must demonstrate they have performance measures in place, and that they are tracking those measures; certain types of pediatric ACOs will be required to agree to the State’s performance measures. DRAFT

  14. Governance of Pediatric ACOs • All Pediatric ACOs in Ohio will be not-for-profit • If the Pediatric ACO is made up of independent entities, then they will have a 9 member governing team that will include majority physicians • The governing team will also include an Advanced Practice Nurse, a Child Consumer Advocate, and a Parent Advocate • Executive will be chosen by the governing team and medical director will be chosen by the Executive • The Governing team will be responsible for partnering with community stakeholders such as schools, children services agencies, businesses, and other payers such as insurance companies and hospitals DRAFT

  15. Flexibility in Governance • If the governing team can not meet certain requirements, the Pediatric ACO must communicate to the State why it seeks to differ from these requirements, and how it will involve Pediatric ACO families and community stakeholders in Pediatric ACO governance. • If the Pediatric ACO is an existing organization, then the governing body can be the same as it is currently, as long as the governing team can explain how it will involve Pediatric ACO families and community stakeholders in Pediatric ACO governance. DRAFT

  16. Enrollee and Family Rights • No consumer or family will be required to receive services from a Pediatric ACO. • Educational materials (created by the Pediatric ACO) will be given to Medicaid recipients and their family/legal guardians, and will be available online. • Educational materials will include participating providers and their contact information, pediatric specialty locations, Website information and amount, duration, scope and type of services offered by the Pediatric ACOs. • Ombudsmen programs and internal dispute resolution will be responsibilities of Pediatric ACOs. • Pediatric ACOs will be required to have a staff member manage Healthchek services ensuring that federal EPSDT laws are being met. DRAFT

  17. Pediatric ACO Models • Type 1 Model: Includes a demonstrated shared savings model and performance measures within a contractual arrangement between a Medicaid managed care plan and a Pediatric ACO who has been recognized by the State of Ohio. • The practitioners involved with a Pediatric ACO under this type must acknowledge in writing that they are accountable for the care they provide. • Type 2 Model: Includes requirements of Type 1. The State will now set and track the performance measures. The care coordination and case management requirements will be delegated to the Pediatric ACO. Other administrative functions will remain with the managed care plan. Encounter data will be required. • The payment methodology must include shared savings and shared risk with the Medicaid program. • Type 3 Model: A qualified Medicaid provider with direct payer-provider relationship with the State Medicaid agency. The full responsibility for care will be assigned to the Pediatric ACO for a specific region for those not in Medicaid managed care. • The payment methodology must include shared savings and shared risk with the Medicaid program.
