Physician Group Incentive Program Program Updates
September 14, 2012
Tom Leyden, MBA Director, Value Partnerships
PGIP Program Growth • THANK YOU! PO efforts to continuously grow physician engagement in
program is working • Currently there are approximately 16,400 network physicians in the PGIP
program, up 89.5 % from two years prior • During this same time period, specialist participation has increased by
253% (from 3,058 to 10,795) • Still adding PCPs: 192 new-to-PGIP PCPs in the last 6 months. • Finally, with regards to overall PGIP penetration:
– # of eligible doctors (MD/DO/DC/DPM/PSY) in network: 30,915 – # of physicians in PGIP (Summer 2012): 16,398 – 53.04% physician penetration/network participation in the program
Opportunities for Continued Growth in Specialty Participation
• Comprehensive care is about inclusion of all providers touching the patient – If it is a paid benefit, costs associated with care of attributed members
are reflected in the PO’s Cost Trend PMPM calculation – Decrease chances for duplicated service and improves knowledge of
patient’s whole health status • Our understanding is that some POs do not currently allow non-MD/DOs to
join their PO and participate in PGIP. – Working with MSMS to learn more about how PO’s organizational
structure affects participation among non-MD/DO care providers

Psychiatrists 265 286 8% 1,175 24%
At present we have less than optimal participation among Chiropractors and Psychologists. Having said that we do routinely see increases in specialist participation over multiple cycles, and our expectation is that this will hold true for both specialties. Latest updates:
PCMH Program Growth – BCBSM’s PCMH program maintains its status as the largest program
of its kind in the nation – As of 2012 PCMH Designation, BCBSM’s PCMH program consists of:
• 995 designated practices • 3,029 designated physicians • 1.08 M attributed BCBSM members
– 13 POs have 75% or more of their PCPs receiving PCMH designation/uplifts
• Highest percentage of PCPs receiving uplift: Advantage Health with 97.5%
• 3 other POs with over 90% of their PCPs PCMH-designated – 5 POs have 25% or less of their PCPs receiving PCMH
designation/uplifts

• Nomination Criteria – Each PO’s nomination criteria is available on the Uplift page of the PO Collaboration
Site – POs are encouraged to review criteria of other POs, especially those that are
principal partners of your member PUs – Nomination criteria should be made available to member and principal partner PUs
• Nomination Selection – If the PO(s) of your principal partner PUs have not contacted you, reach out to
them – Please recall that POs may not discriminate based on PO membership, or IT
infrastructure (such as selection of a registry)
Supplemental Information Process • The mechanism for receiving Supplemental Information (SI)
was piloted with three Physician Organizations to test the mechanics of the file exchange
• Henry Ford Medical Group •Huron Valley Physician Association •Oakland Southfield Physicians
• The pilot was helpful in identifying further development needed to refine the SI process
• We are currently working to ensure that SI received through this mechanism will be reflected in EBCR dashboards and datasets
• The pilot will be completed in September/October
Supplemental Information Process Scope Overview
• The intent of the Supplemental Information mechanism is to provide PO’s the opportunity to submit claim-like information not captured in the BCBSM system
• The mechanism is a “file” exchange (batch feed) process
and will mirror the Blue Care Network process already used by some POs
Advanced Care Planning
• 2013 Advanced Care Planning (ACP) Initiative will be open to POs who did not previously participate in 2012
• POs that previously participated in 2012 will be offered the opportunity to participate in the ACP Initiative: Phase 2
• Advanced Care Planning is now included as a capability in PCMH under 4.16: Individual Care Management
Initiative Selection
• We will begin to post 2013 program offerings in late October on the PO Collaboration site – an update on the 2013 initiative selection process will be coming in late September
• An enhancement to selection this year is the creation of “Executive Summaries” – Offering POs a more condensed and specific overview of
each initiative to assist in the selection process
Initiative Plan Executive Summary • Each PGIP Initiative Plan will include an executive summary
comprised of the following elements: – Overview of PGIP – Initiative goals and objectives – Incentive design – Results – Discussion – Summary of changes for upcoming program year
Initiative Plans will still be the primary source for detailed information surrounding Initiatives
PGIP Quarterly Meeting September 14, 2012
OSC, CKD, e-Prescribing, PCMH,
Women’s Health, and PDCM Updates
Margaret H. Mason, MHSA Value Partnerships
Organized Systems of Care Updates • 39 OSCs are being invited to sign contracts to join PGIP
What does this mean?
• That these OSCs can participate in the OSC initiatives and (as with PCMH Initiatives) earn incentives for implementing capabilities
• Does not mean the OSC is “designated” or “recognized” by BCBSM in any way regarding performance
• These are nascent OSCs, just beginning the journey • OSC Core Workgroup will continue to meet and further
develop the OSC program
26
Organized Systems of Care Updates
• Baseline OSC Strategic Plans due September 14 (today) – Still need plans from 13 OSCs
• OSC “Start-Up” payments will be made in December • Must submit strategic plan and DCT to be eligible for
start-up payments • Start-up payments may be made in two installments,
depending on the status and progress of the OSC
27
Organized Systems of Care Updates
• OSC Data Collection Tool (DCT) and OSC Physician List update processes begin in September and will be due in October – OSCs will have opportunity to update DCTs before
spring OSC incentive payments, which will be based on implemented capabilities
• Second annual OSC Dashboard and Population Insights reports will be distributed in November (based on new/updated OSC physicians lists)
28
Organized Systems of Care Reminders
• Please remember: the cost benchmark analysis conducted to determine which PO’s/sub-PO’s/OSC’s PCMH-designated practices are eligible for the additional 10% fee increase is not an OSC “designation” program
• The cost benchmark analysis does not review any other
aspects of OSC performance, and does not in any way constitute a BCBSM endorsement of an OSC as high-performing
29
Chronic Kidney Disease Updates
• Pay-for-reporting based on POs capability to report: – CKD BCBSM Patient datasets – CKD Performance Measures (all-patient, all-payer)
• First CKD dashboard was recently distributed (based on CKD BCBSM patient datasets)
• Reminder: CKD Performance Measures should be reported via the PGIP Progress Reports
• PO input is welcome regarding updates to the CKD Performance Measures
30
E-Prescribing Initiative
Phasing in new incentive payment methodology • Phase 1
– Single payment rather than four installments (July 2012)
• Phase 2 – e-Rx incentive payments will be adjusted based on actual
eRx claims submission rate (as of 3 months after SRD) (July 2013)
For more information, attend the session and demo on E-Prescribing Controlled Substance and demo at 1:45 this afternoon
31
Women’s Health Updates
• The uplift for obstetricians and gynecologists is currently in development.
• We have obtained feedback on possible metrics from PGIP-participating Ob-Gyn physicians, and are working to refine them. – Twelve metrics are being considered
• The uplift will go into effect in February 2013, consistent with
other specialist uplifts
32
PCMH Updates
• Newly revised 2012-2013 PCMH-N Interpretive Guidelines now available on the PO Collaboration Site – Includes expanded information on the role of specialists and how to
implement the capabilities within specialist practice units – New capabilities under Individual Care Management for Advanced
Planning, Survivorship Plans, and Palliative Care
• For the SRD this winter, mixed practices (with both PCPs and specialists) will be given opportunity to report separately on PCP and specialist PCMH implementation activity, if applicable
33
MiPCT/Provider Delivered Care Management • Webinars were held on 7/24 and 7/26 to discuss the patient
list in more detail. Thanks for participating! – A recording of the webinar is now available on the MiPCT website
(http://mipctdemo.wordpress.com/)
• Other resources now available on the MiPCT website include
data dictionaries for the monthly member list, a Frequently Asked Questions Document, and billing guidelines
• Special BCBSM/BCN PDCM session today 11:30-1:30 to
address patient engagement, billing questions, and more

• Purpose: catalyze establishment of a uniform approach to measurement of Patient Experience of Care across Michigan.
• OSCs will be encouraged to:
• Use a common survey tool/method that allows results to be comparable (e.g., CAHPS)
• Agree to participate in a “collective” approach that includes other community stakeholders (e.g., GDAHC, Alliance for Health) to achieve economies of scale (i.e., negotiating with vendors) and avoid surveying the same patients more than once
• Use survey finding to identify gaps in care throughout the OSC
• OSC participation will be voluntary. • Timing: develop OSC Patient Experience of Care Initiative in 2013;
implement in 2014.
