1 Care Management Focus Important Pharmacy Update 2018 Medicare Changes Genetic Testing New Resources for Providers Health First Colorado EPSDT Provider Information health ROCKY MOUNTAIN PROVIDER EDITION FALL/WINTER 2017 It s Almost HEDIS Time! Rocky Mountain Health Plans Quality Improvement (QI) department will begin HEDIS data collection and onsite reviews in January, finishing in early May. QI thanks providers in advance for allowing timely access to their offices and providing requested medical records enabling RMHP to meet its HEDIS deadlines.
2 PROVIDER NEWS What to Expect During HEDIS Data Collection RMHP nurses will visit provider offices to collect medical records and perform HEDIS reviews starting in January. Providers also have the option of submitting requested documentation by fax, mailing the records, or allowing RMHP s nurses to access their electronic medical records (EMR) system remotely. Providers interested in learning more about allowing RMHP remote access to their EMR for gathering HEDIS data, should contact QI at before December 31, RMHP will gather information and test the system to determine if data can be gathered securely. Focus on Patients In preparation for the upcoming HEDIS season, QI reminds providers that from now until the end of the year is an important time to focus on closing Member health maintenance gaps. Identify Members who are behind on breast cancer screenings, colorectal cancer screenings, and A1C testing. Encourage these patients to get the recommended screening and testing as needed. Include a copy of these reports in the medical record. Include BMI when recording patients vital signs. Encourage patients with diabetes to have a yearly A1C test, urine microalbumin to monitor for nephropathy, and a yearly dilated or retinal eye exam. If A1C results are >9%, the patient will need additional follow up A1C testing before the end of the year. In child/adolescent well visits document discussions about nutrition and physical activity counseling. Examples include the 5210 Assessment, sports physicals, weight counseling, and notes on current activity levels. Document BMI percentile for patients under 20 years of age and if your office uses BMI growth charts, include a copy in the medical record. Patients up to date on routine screenings and wellness services are taking an active role in their health, and they contribute to favorable HEDIS rates. 2 Rocky Mountain Health

4 Important Pharmacy Update On occasion, RMHP must make changes to ensure our Members are receiving the best savings possible. Effective January 1, 2018, RMHP will change to a new PBM, OptumRx,for a more efficient approach to our Members prescription claims. This change means: RMHP Members will receive new ID cards with updated pharmacy information to begin using January 1, Without the information on new ID card, pharmacy claims cannot be processed starting January 1. OptumRx home delivery will become RMHP s new mail order pharmacy provider on January 1, WellDyneRx will no longer be a network pharmacy. Members with open refills at WellDyneRx will receive a letter notifying them their refills will automatically transfer to OptumRx home delivery. Controlled substance medications are not eligible for transfer. Members who have used WellDyneRx since January 1, 2017, will receive communication from RMHP with instructions on how to place future medication orders with OptumRx home delivery. BriovaRx will become RMHP s preferred specialty pharmacy in Kroger Specialty Pharmacy will no longer be in the RMHP network. Specialty drugs are high-cost medications that require special handling, administration, or monitoring. If a Member is using a specialty pharmacy that is not in the RMHP network in 2018, they will receive instructions for transferring their prescription to an in-network pharmacy. Contact information for OptumRx home delivery and BriovaRx will be provided to prescribers in December. Updated Prior Authorization List Available RMHP s Clinical Prior Authorization list was updated October 1, 2017, and posted online. For prior authorization lists and instructions on submitting a prior authorization request go to rmhp.org, I am a Provider, and Provider Resources Quality Improvement Program Rocky Mountain Health Plans maintains its tradition and commitment to constantly seek to improve quality of care and level of service for our Members. The updated Quality Improvement Program Description document will be available this fall and will be included in your provider manual. You may also request information about the performance of the Quality Improvement Program.

5 Medicare Changes for 2018 A change to Part D prescription drug coverage from RMHP RMHP Individual Medicare plans will no longer include Part D prescription drug coverage after December 31, Medicare Part D plans, available from private insurance carriers, cover prescription drugs. Now a part of the UnitedHealthcare family, RMHP has invited its Medicare Members to explore Part D coverage from UnitedHealthcare, by visiting or by calling UnitedHealthcare at To avoid a lapse in Part D coverage, Members must enroll in a new Part D plan by December 31, However, because RMHP members are losing Part D coverage involuntarily, they are eligible for a special enrollment period and have until February 28, 2018, to enroll with coverage effective the first day of the month following their enrollment. If RMHP Members do not enroll by February 28, they will be unable to purchase Part D coverage until the next Medicare open enrollment, October 15 through December 7, Affected Members were informed in October that their Part D coverage through RMHP would be ending December 31. PERA group retirees enrolled in RMHP s Medicare plan do not have to take action to enroll in a new prescription drug plan. The RMHP PERA plan will continue to include Part D benefits, underwritten by UnitedHealthcare. Some RMHP Medicare plans not offered in 13 Denver/Metro counties in 2018 RMHP s Green, Thrifty, Standard, and Plus Medicare plans will no longer be offered after December 31, 2017, in Adams, Arapahoe, Boulder, Broomfield, Denver, Douglas, El Paso, Fremont, Jefferson, Larimer, Pueblo, Teller, and Weld counties. RMHP will continue to offer Basic, B Basic, and PERACare plans statewide, including in these 13 Service Area Reduction (SAR) counties. RMHP does not offer Medicare plans in Baca County. The approximately 5,000 affected RMHP Medicare Members were informed in early October that their coverage would be ending December 31, These Members will also receive information on 2018 coverage options in their area. Competitive coverage options from multiple carriers are available in the 13 SAR counties. RMHP Medicare Members affected by these plan closures: Can enroll in 2018 coverage during Medicare s Annual Election Period (AEP), October 15 through December 7, 2017, and avoid a lapse in coverage. Are eligible for a Special Enrollment Period (SEP) because their loss of coverage is involuntary. This SEP gives Members until February 28, 2018, to enroll in new coverage which starts the first of the month following enrollment. Will revert to Original Medicare coverage on January 1, 2018, if they take no action by December 31, To learn more about Medicare Part D coverage from UnitedHealthcare, encourage RMHP Members to visit rmhppartd.org or call Rocky Mountain Health 5
6 PROVIDER NEWS Care Management Focuses on Drug Safety, Complex Cases, and Chronic Conditions Each year the Care Management Department assesses the characteristics of Rocky Mountain Health Plan s (RMHP) membership and develops programs to support needs identified in the review. The following programs, free to RMHP Members, address the most recently identified needs. Drug Safety Program RMHP Members visiting multiple prescribers and using multiple pharmacies to fill controlled medication prescriptions are identified by our Pharmacy department and enrolled in the Drug Safety Program. The program limits these Members to one prescriber and one pharmacy with coverage denied if other prescribers or pharmacies are used. With RMHP s Drug Safety Program: Case managers facilitate appropriate utilization of resources. Adherence to the medication treatment plan is reinforced. Periodic member assessments are performed. Members receive support and education pertinent to their needs. Case managers attend Member appointments with providers as able. Providers can refer an RMHP Member for enrollment in the Drug Safety Program by contacting the Pharmacy Help Desk. Call , fax your request to , or pharmacy.reps@rmhp.org. 6 Rocky Mountain Health
7 Complex Case Management RMHP s Complex Case Management Program uses a team approach to improve the quality of life for Members with complex health needs. Nurses help Members take control of their health care needs and optimize their benefits. Case managers collaborate with the Member s providers, including behavioral health providers. RMHP case managers also have access to community resources to help Members experiencing financial or other challenges because of their health situation. Providers can refer an RMHP Member or contact a case manager to discuss a concern by calling RMHP s referral line at or or by completing a referral at rmhp.org. Click on I am a Provider, and you ll find commonly used forms under Provider Resources.

11 PROVIDER NEWS Genetic Testing The number of genetic tests available has grown exponentially in recent years, and it s important to keep the following points in mind when ordering tests for RMHP Members. In general, genetic testing requires prior authorization. RMHP uses evicore to prior authorize these tests. Medical geneticists and doctors at evicore continually evaluate the evidence and create and update the policies outlining the criteria for approval. RMHP medical directors give evicore feedback on provider and member concerns. The evicore number for questions regarding genetic testing prior authorization is Copies of the clinical criteria for specific genetic tests and conditions may be requested at resources/pages/providers.aspx. If you do not obtain prior authorization for genetic testing, the claim for the test will not pay, creating administrative costs down the line for the appeals process. Without a prior authorization for a non-network (non-contracted) lab, the claim will not pay, and if on appeal it is found the test does not meet the evicore guidelines, the Member may be responsible for the cost of the testing. This often runs in the thousands of dollars. In general, if you are thinking of ordering genetic testing for risk stratification, it is nearly always a good idea to have the Member see a genetic counselor first. The counselor can determine which genes are most important to order. Although many companies offer multi-gene panel testing for hereditary cancer syndromes, often testing for 10 to 20 genes, these panels may not be paid for if they are not prior authorized. Non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT) is standard of care. CPT code is generally covered in women with singleton pregnancies. CPT code for microdeletions is not covered at this time. If you order a panel that includes both codes, the claim will reject. Medicare has its own rules about genetic testing. Some are national rules (NCDs), others are regional (LCDs). This is all summed up nicely by UnitedHealthcare in a 27-page.pdf. To find the UnitedHealthcare document, use your favorite search engine and the search terms: UnitedHealthcare Medicare rules for genetic testing. If you have questions about genetic testing, don t hesitate to call Care Management before you draw that blood. It may save your patient some headaches, which are not hereditary and can be avoided.
