At the beginning of year three, an estimated 150,000 Medicare-only beneficiaries who will receive care from those practices will be added to the demonstration. During years three to five, NCCCN will manage an estimated 180,000 Medicare and dually-eligible beneficiaries. Payment to Support 646 Use the “one touch” rule – if a dual is touched by a participating practice, then CMS counts that person a “enrolled” Practices and networks will get the PMPM from the state for the enrolled duals Enrollment is voluntary, so practices and networks will still be managing those that have touched a practice but are not enrolled Straight Medicare not included until year 3 and goal for shared savings to fund the PMPM Shared Savings Finalizing methodology with CMS Will have a threshold savings, then 80/20 Details still being finalized Must achieve a percentage of improvement in quality metrics to receive financial savings Data/Informatics Use of claims-derived data for population management and care coordination Quality measurement with claims data and chart review data (Examples to follow) Chronic Care/ 646 Patient Database 80 data elements reported quarterly on ALL ABD recipients: Demographics Spending by category Utilization Diagnoses Use of ancillary services Priority scoring Provider Portal Patient Record: Care Team Summary Page Want to know more: www.communitycarenc.org Questions:
