IN APRIL, PHYSICIANS OF SOUTHWEST WASHINGTON (PSW) AND MULTICARE ENTERED INTO A MINORITY INVESTMENT AGREEMENT TO IMPROVE HEALTH CARE DELIVERY AND MANAGEMENT IN THE PUGET SOUND REGION. PSW had been seeking a partner to help grow its geographic footprint and strengthen its financial sustainability, while preserving the independent physician practice care model. In choosing to partner with MultiCare, we affirmed our mission to support the independent physician and put the patient-provider relationship first.

PSW continues as the organization you’ve come to count on in your practice. The investment by MultiCare supports PSW’s growth and expands its capacity to deliver more value to its physician network, including;

innovative payer models, population health systems and data integration. There is no direct affect on independent physician practices or changes to any of the business lines for which you’re practice may be contracted.

The ability to forge valued partnerships is a key strategy in today’s business of healthcare. Physicians, hospitals and health plans must work together to collectively shape the future of how care will be delivered to the communities we all serve. In today's fast-paced environment, a "do-it-alone" approach is not an option for ensuring long term success. As an organization that grew organically for more than 20 years, PSW has relied on partnerships to drive collaborative innovation that delivers what providers, patients and payers need today and in the future.

Our collaborations include value based incentive contracts, skilled nursing facility direct admit program, NW Momentum Health Partners ACO and management service contracts.

Thank you to all of our partners – together we are stronger. �

PSW provider network granted extensionFull implementation of the Health Care Authority’s Washington Link4Health Clinical Data Repository remains elusive. Recognizing the technical complexities practices may face when considering this project, PSW requested and received a connectivity extension for its providers through Dec. 31, 2018. �

New claims payment platform In May, PSW implemented a new electronic payment platform via a partnership with Change Healthcare and ECHO Health Inc. that will affect how practices receive claims payments. PSW’s decision to make a change supports the goals for administrative simplification, ensuring timely payments, and aligning with regulatory and industry standards. It also seeks to provide options to meet the business needs of multiple practices.

The new platform provides multiple payment options that best meet the needs of the practice. Practices that have not received any of the communications and are interested in learning more should contact Lindsey Fine, PSW Claims Manager, at 360-943-4337x155.

COMPLIANCE CHECKLIST

Employment of sanctioned individualsPractices should ensure they do not employ staff, providers or contract with vendors who are sanctioned by the federal government or state agencies. Civil monetary penalties of up to $11,000 per incident may apply and can permanently jeopardize the practices continued participation in federal healthcare programs.

Along with screening individuals prior to hire or contract, the OIG (Office of the Inspector General) recommends all medical organizations verify employees, providers, and/or vendors against the federal and state exclusions websites on a monthly basis. Find additional information at:https://exclusions.oig.hhs.gov/- and - https://www.sam.gov/

How PSW defines provider panel status OPENProvider is actively accepting new patients.

Improving provider accuracy in directoriesPROVIDER DIRECTORIES ARE AN IMPORTANT TOOL USED BY MEDICARE ADVANTAGE ENROLLEES to select and contact their physicians and other contracted providers who deliver their medical care. Beneficiaries and their caregivers rely on these provider directories to make informed decisions regarding their health care choices. Inaccurate provider directories can create a barrier to care and raise questions regarding the adequacy and validity of the health plans network as a whole.

Due to increased member complaints of inaccurate provider information, CMS began conducting audits of the online directories of Medicare Advantage health plans. This served as a catalyst for all MA plans to begin auditing their provider information, including contacting practices to verify provider panel status.

PSW is delegated by Health Alliance, Humana and Soundpath Health to ensure their Thurston County based provider network directories are accurate. PSW’s ability to accurately capture a provider’s current panel status is paramount to: Growth of your practiceEnsuring PCP access for new enrolleesTracking or managing provider changes

(contracts, credentialing, reimbursement)The active participation and engagement of

contracted providers contracted providers is critical. Approximately every quarter, PSW will reach out to its Primary Care Providers to verify panel status. The status of a provider can change and for this reason practices are strongly encouraged to communicate with their front desk staff this information on a regular basis. Ensure your patients, current and future, are receiving the best information. �

Excerpt from APG summer edition 2018 as submitted by PSW

SKILLED NURSING FACILITIES HAVE NOT ALWAYS RECEIVED THE RECOGNITION THEY DESERVE WHEN IT COMES TO THEIR ROLE IN CARE DELIVERY. PSW developed a MA value-based incentive contract and took advantage of the CMS Next Generation ACO waiver program specific to skilled nursing facilities.

From the start, PSW chose to partner with high-quality skilled nursing facilities – those who achieved Four-Star or Five-Star CMS quality ratings, demonstrated excellent outcomes, allowed 24/7 admissions to ensure flexible intake from acute care hospitals, and had the staff and capabilities needed to improve outcomes and control costs.

PSW’s institutional post-acute care partners had good reason to be actively engaged, as managed care compensation comprises more and more of their total reimbursement mix. They now have the

opportunity to be proactive in shaping the changing care climate, rather than taking a reactive role.

In January 2017, PSW launched NW Momentum Health Partners LLC (NWMHP), which was selected to participate in the CMS Next Generation ACO model. This opened the door to the skilled nursing facility direct waiver program – eliminating the need for the three-day hospital stay – which continued the work PSW initiated in support of its Medicare Advantage post-acute care strategies.

In the two years since program implementation, NWMHP achieved a 20 percent decrease in average length of stay by working with facility and care navigators to ensure appropriate resources and discharge planning to the home/family environment. Together, PSW and NWMHP noted a 50 percent increase in the number of direct admissions, concurrent with a 6 percent reduction in Emergency Department use and reduced inpatient stays. �

CLOSEDClosed to accepting patients; i.e., provider winding down due to retirement.

ESTABLISHED Provider will only see current panel who may age-in to Medicare; no new patients.

NW Momentum Health Partners is currently managing three Next Generation performance years – 2017, 2018 and 2019 – simultaneously. From working with CMS to wrap up the 2017 performance year to submitting the proposed provider network for performance year 2019, the following highlights key activities of the ACO.

performance year wrap-up July - CMS will provide the final 2017 performance year financial benchmark reconciliation; this report will include the shared savings achieved by NW Momentum Health Partners. July - CMS is expected to release results of 2017 quality reporting by mid-summer. As a reminder, the goal of quality reporting in 2017 was to simply participate; this will change in 2018. August - NW Momentum Health Partners Board will approve the methodology to support the distribution of any shared savings to participant and preferred providers.

CAHPS survey results AS A NEXT GENERATION ACO, NW MOMENTUM HEALTH PARTNERS WAS REQUIRED TO UTILIZE A THIRD PARTY VENDOR TO COMPLETE A CONSUMER ASSESSMENT OF HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS AND SYSTEMS (CAHPS). The purpose of the survey is to ask consumers and patients to report on and evaluate their health care experiences.

The survey was conducted in late 2017 and captured 401 beneficiary responses based on their experience with healthcare providers who participated in the ACO. Overall, the composite score for NWMHP was 1 percent higher than its peer ACO organizations. The summary results are at right. �

Beneficiaries Coordinated Care RewardWhat is the $25 Coordinated Care Reward Medicare beneficiaries can receive?Medicare beneficiaries attributed to an ACO participating provider can receive a $25 check as a Coordinated Care Reward once they receive their Annual Wellness Visit. CMS will send the check to the address the beneficiary has listed with the Social Security Administration (SSA). CMS will identify beneficiaries who qualify for the reward on a quarterly basis and will mail checks as soon as possible within the next quarter following the Annual Wellness Visit.

When will the $25 rewards be mailed to Medicare ACO beneficiaries?

Was there a problem with the rewards mailed in late April?Next Generation ACO reported an issue with the Coordinated Care Reward (CCR) checks mailed in late April. Due to a system error, a total of 406 checks bounced. CMS was quickly informed and has resolved this issue and no additional checks will be impacted. CMS sent a letter of apology along with reissued checks for $25 for those 406 impacted beneficiaries, plus $40 to cover the maximum bank fee for not being able to cash the check. These reissued checks were to be mailed by Friday, May 4. �

PSW MEDICAL DIRECTORSPSW WILL LAUNCH A REMOTE PATIENT MONITORING

PILOT IN JULY TO EVALUATE AN INNOVATIVE AND COST-EFFECTIVE TOOL AIMED AT MANAGING POPULATION HEALTH.

The telehealth solution offered by Honeywell emerged as a leading vendor in its ability to meet PSW’s goal of focusing on patients whose medical history indicates congestive heart failure (CHF) and COPD (emphysema); diagnoses that put patients at significant risk of hospitalization if their condition should worsen.

The pilot will deploy 50 units that collect and then transmit biometric data to the Honeywell system, providing a single consolidated view of patient information enabling care providers to make informed, data-driven decisions. Honeywell provides 24/7 patient monitoring.

The installation process includes placing medical devices such as a scale and blood pressure monitor in the patient’s home. PSW Care Management team will conduct in-home visits, provide education and support communication between the patient and their primary care provider. This is a free service and for most patients. The program will last about 90-days.

For additional information contact Nancy Holman, Director of Care Management, at 360-943-4337x118. �

Disease management through telehealth

Quality improvement: the tie that bindsTHE WORD "QUALITY" IS A CENTRAL ELEMENT OF ALMOST ANY HEALTHCARE DISCUSSION TAKING PLACE TODAY. And yet, the interpretation of what it means, how it’s measured or achieved can vary widely depending on a physicina's role in healthcare. What is certain is that tying provider payment to value is not going away anytime soon and providers that demonstrate high quality will see greater benefit.

In Medicare Advantage and Next Generation ACO, quality is value. Both models are built to deliver a higher return if value and/or quality can be demonstrated via claims data, accurate coding and performance measures. This information ultimately drives reimbursement and contract rates associated with Medicare Advantage, ACO models and commercial health plans.

The quest for quality doesn’t stop and PSW, just like every independent practice, continues to evaluate opportunities for improvement. Through the remainder of 2018, PSW will be partnered with vendors Optum and Advance Health to work with a select number of practices and their patients to ensure accurate coding of chronic conditions, identify opportunities for improved patient assessments and resolve gaps as needed.

For more information contact Tamra Ruymann and TamraR@pswipa.com. �

The Care Management team is educating members enrolled in Health Alliance or Humana’s that they have 24-hour access to a nurse. Medical situations don’t always take place between Mon.- Fri., 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. As part of the initiative to reduce unnecessary ER visits, the PSW team works to educate members of their options, whether it be the list of urgent care clinics in Thurston County or ensuring they know they have access to a registered nurse 24/7.

IN LATE 2017, THE AMERICAN COLLEGE OF CARDIOLOGY (ACC)/AMERICAN HEART ASSOCIATION (AHA) RELEASED THEIR REVISED HYPERTENSION GUIDELINES AS FOLLOWS:

The first revision in several years, the ACC/AHA has received criticism from varying groups in regards to the newer, more aggressive guidelines. While the ACC/AHA has released the guidelines, current HEDIS measures continue to call for a BP of <a140/90 for patients <60 or who are diabetic and <150/90 for patients 60+.

The HEDIS measurements have remained the same in terms of quality measures and pay for performance data. That aside, the main driver of the ACC/AHA stringent guidelines was SPRINT (Systolic Blood Pressure Intervention Trial) funded by The National Institutes of Health (NIH). Ultimately the intensive control group (systolic blood pressure treated to less than 120mm Hg) resulted in a 0.54% reduction in myocardial infarction, stroke, heart failure, cardiovascular death and other acute coronary syndromes.

The trial was terminated early in response to the demonstration of a statistically significant reduction in overall mortality. Regarded by most as a well done study, SPRINT has limitations, and one must critically evaluate the real-word applications to the interventions proposed.

It is estimated that the new guidelines will result in an additional 31 million individuals in the United States will require treatment. While

daunting to imagine at first, one must realize that in addition to the new guidelines, there was significant emphasis put on risk stratification rather than absolute numbers. What does this mean for your practice?

Nonpharmacologic interventionsMany of these 31 million patients do not

need new or more medications to manage their hypertension. What they need is risk stratification and the promotion of healthy lifestyle with increased exercise, weight loss, low sodium diet, increased potassium intake, and reduction in alcohol consumption to attain their goal BP at <120-this is especially true for your patients <45 years old. The take home of these new guidelines should be shifting our health care system toward prevention with lifestyle measures, not more drugs. However, when drugs are required, the guidelines continue to reinforce the message that inexpensive drugs (such as thiazides) continue to be excellent first-line choices. �

WHATtoWATCHJoint opioid safe practices task force updateTHE WASHINGTON STATE MEDICAL ASSOCIATION (WSMA) HAS CONVENED WITH THE INTENTION TO LEAD A TASK FORCE ADDRESSING PRESCRIPTION DRUG OPIOID ABUSE, ADDICTION AND OVERDOSE IN WASHINGTON STATE. Joined by partners at the Washington State Hospital Association, the task force will begin working on solutions to reverse a crisis facing the state and nation, with an eye toward how physicians and hospitals can play a more active role in tackling this critical issue.

Following is an excerpt from an April 6, 2018, letter the WSMA and the Washington State Hospital Association sent to the Medical Quality Assurance Commission of the Washington State Department of Health regarding the department’s conceptual draft of opioid prescribing rules per HB 1427 from the 2017 legislative session. It is important to note that HB 1427 calls for an "adoption date" of Jan. 1, 2019.

"... Physicians and hospitals see firsthand how the opioid crisis is impacting communities across the state. Several state organizations have joined together to develop community-based solutions, informed by clinician expertise, and with the health of patients of paramount concern.

"As entities called out by the Legislature in HB 1427 and as partners in this rulemaking effort, we look forward to working with the Medical Commission and other boards and commissions to help ensure that opioid drugs are prescribed more effectively and safely in our state. We also encourage the Medical Commission to engage other boards and commissions to ensure that final rules are consistent across professions as appropriate.

"We kindly request the Medical Commission consider these guiding principles while drafting the opioid prescribing rules:The rules must permit physicians to exercise their professional judgment by providing the necessary flexibility to ensure patients will receive appropriate treatment for their pain.Do not swing the pendulum from overtreatment of pain with opioids to undertreatment in clinically appropriate circumstances.The rules must consider that Washington state has been a leader in addressing the opioid epidemic and has seen sustained reduction in the number of opioids prescribed and associated harm. The rules must consider the opioid epidemic is evolving.The rules must be targeted.The rules must be taken into consideration with other provisions in HB 1427.The rules must stay within the charge and intent of HB 1427."
