Measure Formulary First-Tier Prescribing (“First Tier”) Target > 72.00% Measure Rationale

The purpose of this measure is to increase prescribing of HMSA formulary first-tier drugs. Select formulary first-tier drugs consist of all First Databank generics and certain branded generics, the latter of which are brand name drugs offered to members at a generic co-payment. Currently, the list of first-tier drugs includes preferred brand insulins.

Denominator Denominator Definition

The sum of all normalized scripts (in all select formulary tiers) filled by HPH members for the current reporting period. Prescriptions written by dentists and dental-type specialties including endodontists, periodontists, and oral surgeons will be excluded. Prescription counts are normalized based on the days supply provided. Script – Days’ Supply Normalization:

if days’ supply is > 0 and ≤ 30 days, script count = 1 If days’ supply is between 31 and 60 days, script count = 2

If days’ supply is between 61 and 90 days, script count = 3 If days’ supply is between 91 and 120 days, script count = 4 If days’ supply is between 121 and 150 days, script count = 5 Only drug claims with HMSA as the primary payer will be incorporated into measurement.

Denominator Member Demographics

The denominator measures continuously enrolled children turning 2 during the 12 month program year. For the 2009-10 program year, this is a date of birth range from 7/1/2007 (turns 2 at start of year) to 6/30/2008 (turns 2 at end of year), inclusive. Members included in Patient Intervention Reports (PIRs) patient lists must be active in their health center as of the end of the reporting period. Members included in quarterly rate calculations and final measurement must also be continuously enrolled in the same HPH Health Center for the 12 months prior to the child’s second birthday. No gaps will be allowed.

Denominator Exclusion Denominator Exclusion Definition

Children in the denominator with a contraindication to a vaccination at any time in the member’s history prior to or on the child’s 2nd birthday (the index date). Children who had a contraindication for any specific vaccine should be excluded from the denominator for all antigen rates and combination rates.

Denominator Exclusion Claims Criteria

Members with any HEDIS-specified contraindication for MMR and VZV vaccines at any time in the member’s history prior to or on the member’s 2nd birthday (the index date).

A) 4 DTaP (diphtheria, tetanus, and acellular pertussis) vaccines on different dates of service, between 42 days after birth and the child’s 2nd birthday (the index date), inclusive.

AND B) 3 IPV (polio) vaccines on different dates of service, between 42 days

after birth and the child’s 2nd birthday (the index date), inclusive. AND C) 3 Hib (H influenza type B) vaccines on different dates of service,

between 42 days after birth and the child’s 2nd birthday (the index date), inclusive.

AND D) 2 Hep B (hepatitis B) vaccines on different dates of service on or before

the child’s 2nd birthday (the index date), inclusive. Evidence of the disease may also count.

AND E) 1 VZV (chicken pox) vaccine on or before the child’s 2nd birthday (the

H) 2 Hepatitis A (HepA) vaccinations on different dates of service on or before the child’s 2nd birthday (the index date), inclusive. Evidence of hepatitis A disease may also count.

I) 2 or 3 (depending on vaccine schedule) Rotavirus vaccinations on different dates of service, between 42 days after birth and the child’s 2nd birthday (the index date), inclusive.

J) 2 Influenza vaccinations on different dates of service, between 6 months after birth and the child’s 2nd birthday (the index date), inclusive.

Notes:

Per HEDIS 2010: For MMR, hepatitis B, VZV, and hepatitis A, count any of the following.

Evidence of the antigen or combination vaccine, or Documented history of the illness, or A seropositive test result

For 2010 HEDIS, only 2 Hib shots are required due to a vaccine shortage. However, as the shortage eases, the HEDIS requirement will likely revert to 3 Hib shots. For Hepatitis B vaccination, the standard recommendation is for 3 shots prior to the child’s 2nd birthday. The first shot, now frequently administered in the hospital prior to discharge, may not always be captured via claims data. We will therefore assume the presence of the first shot when service dates are present for two of the three required administrations.

Measure Mail-Order Prescription Purchasing by HMSA Patients (“Mail Order”) Target >15.00% Measure Rationale

This measure identifies the percentage of all mail order opportunity prescriptions that were filled via mail order provider “Medco by Mail.” “Mail order opportunity prescriptions” are for drugs which have been identified by HMSA pharmacy management personnel as appropriate for mail order dispensing. These drugs have previously been purchased by HMSA members via mail order and include those drugs that have the greatest opportunity for cost-savings based on script volume and cost per unit. The list of mail order opportunity drugs is based on Specific Therapeutic Class (STC) codes. This list is reviewed and updated annually by an HMSA Pharmacy Management pharmacist. See Appendix for the current list.

Denominator Denominator Definition

The denominator is calculated as the total normalized script count for all mail order opportunity drugs which were filled by HPH members during the current reporting period. This includes drugs that were dispensed via mail order provider Medco by Mail, or via non-mail order providers (e.g. Longs Drugs, Wal-Mart, etc). Prescriptions written by dentists and dental-type specialties including endodontists, periodontists, and oral surgeons will be excluded from measurement. All prescription counts are normalized based on the days supply provided. Script – Days’ Supply Normalization:

if days’ supply is > 0 and ≤ 30 days, script count = 1 If days’ supply is between 31 and 60 days, script count = 2

If days’ supply is between 61 and 90 days, script count = 3 If days’ supply is between 91 and 120 days, script count = 4 If days’ supply is between 121 and 150 days, script count = 5 Only drug claims with HMSA as the primary payer will be incorporated into measurement.

Measure Postpartum Care (“Postpartum”) Target Report-only measure; no scoring target Clinical Intent To ensure that women with live birth deliveries receive postpartum care

on or between 21 and 56 days after delivery.

Denominator Denominator Definition

Continuously enrolled women who delivered a live birth between May 6, 2009, and May 5, 2010 (for the quarterly reports, women must have given birth between May 6, 2009 and up to 56 days prior to the end of the current reporting period). The denominator evaluation period is calculated to capture services for a full 56 days after every delivery in the evaluation period. Thus the start and end dates for the denominator identification period are both shifted to be 56 days earlier than the standard reporting period dates. Earliest delivery allowed in Final Report: May 6, 2009 Plus minimum numerator window: 21 days Earliest numerator DOS allowed: May 27, 2009 Latest delivery allowed in Final Report: May 5, 2010 Plus maximum numerator window: 56 days Latest numerator DOS allowed: June 30, 2010

Handling of Multiple Births: Women who had two separate deliveries

(different dates of service) between 5/6/09 and 5/5/10 should be counted twice. Women who had multiple live births (twins, triplets, etc) during one pregnancy should be counted once in the measure.

Denominator Encounters/Claims Criteria

Women with live birth deliveries between May 6, 2009 and up to 56 days prior to the end of the current reporting period are identified via the following methods: Women with a known live birth delivery: Note: The codes listed below both identify a delivery and indicate that the outcome of the delivery was a live birth.
