HMO Findings
• Performance Measures–Eight of the 12 HMOs were assigned an audit result of “Report, (“R”) for all of the performance measures required by AHCA, indicating there were no issues noted that resulted in a bias to any of the rates.
![Page 14: Welcome to the EQR Quarterly Meeting! Wednesday, September 24, 2008 1:00 p.m. – 3:00 p.m. (EDT) We will begin shortly. Call-in information is 888.742.8686,](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070409/56649e9e5503460f94b9f51a/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
HMO Findings
• Performance Measures–Four HMOs received “Not Report,” (“NR”) findings for the Controlling High Blood Pressure measure, which led to those health plans not being able to report rates for this measure.
![Page 15: Welcome to the EQR Quarterly Meeting! Wednesday, September 24, 2008 1:00 p.m. – 3:00 p.m. (EDT) We will begin shortly. Call-in information is 888.742.8686,](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070409/56649e9e5503460f94b9f51a/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

2007-2008 EQR Technical Report
Assessment of MCO Strengths and Weaknesses:
• HSAG developed a methodology to identify strengths and weaknesses in performance in key EQR areas
• Used objective data (PIPs, performance measure results, and consumer survey performance results)
![Page 29: Welcome to the EQR Quarterly Meeting! Wednesday, September 24, 2008 1:00 p.m. – 3:00 p.m. (EDT) We will begin shortly. Call-in information is 888.742.8686,](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070409/56649e9e5503460f94b9f51a/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
2007-2008 EQR Technical ReportAssessment of MCO Strengths andWeaknesses:• HEDIS measures that exceeded the
high performance level (national 90th percentile) were considered a strength for the MCO
• HEDIS measures that fell below the low performance level (national 25th percentile) were considered a weakness for the MCO
![Page 30: Welcome to the EQR Quarterly Meeting! Wednesday, September 24, 2008 1:00 p.m. – 3:00 p.m. (EDT) We will begin shortly. Call-in information is 888.742.8686,](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070409/56649e9e5503460f94b9f51a/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
2007-2008 EQR Technical Report
Assessment of MCO Strengths andWeaknesses:• CAHPS measures that were statistically
higher than the state average were considered a strength for the MCO
• CAHPS measures that were statistically lower than the state average were considered a weakness for the MCO
![Page 31: Welcome to the EQR Quarterly Meeting! Wednesday, September 24, 2008 1:00 p.m. – 3:00 p.m. (EDT) We will begin shortly. Call-in information is 888.742.8686,](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070409/56649e9e5503460f94b9f51a/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
2007-2008 EQR Technical Report
Assessment of MCO Strengths andWeaknesses:• Within the technical report, HSAG
prepared a set of tables displaying each MCO’s strengths and weakness based on the methodology
• Strengths and weaknesses were also grouped into categories of quality, timeliness, and access to care
![Page 32: Welcome to the EQR Quarterly Meeting! Wednesday, September 24, 2008 1:00 p.m. – 3:00 p.m. (EDT) We will begin shortly. Call-in information is 888.742.8686,](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070409/56649e9e5503460f94b9f51a/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
High Performers
• High performers were identified as MCOs that demonstrated strengths in quality, access, and timeliness for every EQR activity that produced plan-specific results. Two MCOs met this criteria.
![Page 33: Welcome to the EQR Quarterly Meeting! Wednesday, September 24, 2008 1:00 p.m. – 3:00 p.m. (EDT) We will begin shortly. Call-in information is 888.742.8686,](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070409/56649e9e5503460f94b9f51a/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
High PerformersJackson Memorial Health Plan
• Both PIPs received a “Met” validation finding. One PIP addressed quality and access and the other addressed timeliness.
• JMH exceeded the 90th percentile for two HEDIS measures, both addressing quality.
• JMH exceeded the state average for two CAHPS measures, both addressing quality.

Conclusions and Recommendations
• Most objective data addressed only quality of services.
• Overall, the Florida Medicaid managed care programs demonstrated some improvements in performance during the second year of activities.

Conclusions and Recommendations
• All MCO types made great improvements in PIPs.
• HMO consumer satisfaction survey results also showed some areas of strength for a few HMOs, with one exceeding the statewide average across all four global ratings.
![Page 37: Welcome to the EQR Quarterly Meeting! Wednesday, September 24, 2008 1:00 p.m. – 3:00 p.m. (EDT) We will begin shortly. Call-in information is 888.742.8686,](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070409/56649e9e5503460f94b9f51a/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Conclusions and Recommendations
• HMO performance on certain HEDIS measures showed room for improvement.
![Page 38: Welcome to the EQR Quarterly Meeting! Wednesday, September 24, 2008 1:00 p.m. – 3:00 p.m. (EDT) We will begin shortly. Call-in information is 888.742.8686,](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070409/56649e9e5503460f94b9f51a/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Conclusions and Recommendations
• Recommendations included the need for MCOs to address all evaluation elements that received a Partially Met or Not Met validation finding on the next PIP submission.
• For performance measures, the MCOs should target low-performing measures for improvement efforts.
