(BTS) model; 3 learning sessions/year• Practice Quality Improvement (QI) Coaches
– Most from existing physician hospital organizations (PHOs), medical groups
– Using microsystems approach to QI• Technical Assistance “Experts”
– Behavioral health (BH) integration, work with consumers, HIT• Ongoing Feedback Reports
– Clinical, claims data

Maine PCMH Pilot – Payment Model• Major private payers, Medicaid, & Medicare
participating (MAPCP demo)• PCMH payment model:
Prospective (pmpm) care management payment Approx $3pmpm commercial payers (Anthem, Aetna,
HPHC) Approx $7pmpm Medicare, $12 Medicaid HHs
Ongoing FFS payments Performance payment for meeting quality
targets (existing P4P programs)

Community Care Teams• Multi-disciplinary, community-based, practice-
integrated care teams• Build on successful models (NC, VT, NJ)• Support patients & practices in Pilot sites, help
most high-needs patients overcome barriers – esp. social needs - to care, improve outcomes
• Key element of cost-reduction strategy, targeting high-needs, high-cost patients to reduce avoidable costs (ED use, admits)

Implications of CMS MAPCP Demo
• Medicare joined as payer in Pilot (Jan 2012)• Stronger focus on reducing waste & avoidable
costs – particularly readmissions• Introduction of Community Care Teams• Ability to access Medicare data for reporting,
identifying pts at risk• Opportunity for 50 additional practices to join
“Phase 2” of Pilot (Jan 2013)

Alignment of Pilot with MaineCare Health Homes Initiative
• Affordable Care Act (ACA) Sect 2703 - opportunity to develop Medicaid “Health Homes” initiative
• MaineCare elected to align HH initiative with current multi-payer Pilot – part of VBP initiative
• Defined MaineCare “Health Home”(HH):HH = PCMH practice + Community Care Team (CCT)
• Opportunity to leverage multi-payer PCMH model, practice transformation support infrastructure
• Maine SIM funding will support QI outreach to HHs

PCMH & MAPCP Demo: Results to Date
• Formal evaluation (USM Muskie) underway– Baseline (2008) analysis completed– Yr 1 & Yr 2 results expected fall 2013– Yr 3 results expected Q1 2014
• AF4Q analysis of claims data shows decreased utilization (hosp’s, ED visits)
• Results from other Pilots nationally showing positive results
18
PCMH – Lessons Learned• Move to PCMH requires transformation (not
incremental change) of entire practice, culture, and personal transformation (esp. physicians!)
• Change starts with effective leadership – organizational, clinician, and administrative
• Multi-payer approach is essential to create sufficient resources for change
• Changing practice (and culture) takes time • Change fatigue is serious concern• Transforming primary care is essential to wider efforts!

A Compelling Case for Action

Summing Up: Primary Care Transformation…
• Is difficult, requires true culture change
• Needs sufficient time & resource
• Essential to wider payment reform efforts!
