1 MESA COUNTY PHYSICIANS IPA 2017 INCENTIVE PROGRAM The 2017 Incentive Program for Mesa County Physician IPA (MCPIPA) is a crucial component of our Clinically Integrated Network. Participation in the Incentive Program is necessary for IPA members to contract through our Clinically Integrated Network. The active involvement of the IPA member physicians in the Incentive Program is essential and will contribute to successful contracting efforts for our Clinically Integrated Network. The 2017 MCPIPA Incentive Program is relevant to every specialty. The ongoing Incentive Program is designed to actively evaluate and modify the practice patterns of providers; to create a high degree of interdependence and collaboration; to help control costs; and, to ensure the quality of care provided to patients. There are three components to the Incentive Program: Quality Health Network (QHN) A fixed amount of $75,000 per quarter of the Incentive Pool will be paid to QHN to pay IPA physician monthly dues. The agreement with QHN has an annual cap of $300,000. The MCPIPA Board of directors will continue to determine whether to approve the payment to Quality Health Network (QHN) on a quarterly basis. Reward for Participation (R4P) A fixed amount of $75,000 of the Incentive Pool is allocated to fund the Quarterly R4P All Physician meetings. This includes covering the cost of the meeting, a flat rate payment of $350 to IPA Member Physicians for their attendance, and to help offset the cost of the $500 Minimum Threshold for the Incentive Measures (see page 4 for more details). Incentive Measures After funding QHN and the R4P meetings, the remaining dollars from the Incentive Pool are allocated and paid to those physicians who meet the requirements of the incentive measures. Three measures must be met to qualify for the 2017 incentive dollars. Funding The Incentive Program is funded in its entirety by IPA member physicians via a withhold from claims submitted for medical services provided to Rocky Mountain Health Plans (RMHP) Medicare, Commercial and CHP+ patients. Eight percent (8%) of the PAID amount of the claim is withheld and placed into the Incentive Pool. RMHP pays the withheld amount to MCPIPA on a quarterly basis. Disclaimer - Incentives are paid as indicated in the criteria described in this document and as determined by the Physician Incentive and Engagement Committee (PIE), in cooperation with the MCPIPA Board of Directors. The PIE Committee will determine the Incentive Program guidelines and the application of the guidelines to the particular situations. The PIE Committee, with approval of the MCPIPA Board of Directors, may make adjustments they deem necessary to reach the goals and objectives of the Incentive Program. The terms of the Incentive Program, can be changed or discontinued at the discretion of the MCPIPA Board of Directors. 1
2 INCENTIVE PROGRAM COMPONENTS QUARTERLY R4P ALL PHYSICIAN MEETINGS The R4P meetings are held quarterly at a local venue such as Two Rivers Convention Center or similar location. An agenda including discussion topics and meeting details will be sent to IPA member physicians in advance of each meeting. Meeting times: 5:30 6:00 Registration and Dinner 6:00 7:00 General Session 6:30 8:00 Breakout Sessions 2017 Schedule: Tuesday February 7, Q2017 R4P Quarterly Meeting Tuesday May 23, Q2017 R4P Quarterly Meeting Tuesday August 15, Q2017 R4P Quarterly Meeting Tuesday November 14, Q2017 R4P Quarterly Meeting Agenda Topics: We value your input and hope you will share ideas for discussion topics for the Quarterly R4P All Physician Meetings. The topic at each quarterly meeting may be a new subject or a further development of a prior topic if warranted based on interest expressed by the physicians. Please contact the IPA with your suggestions. Budget and Meeting Compensation The R4P budget is funded by allocating $75,000 of the total Incentive Pool each quarter. Under the R4P Program, MCPIPA member physicians will only be compensated for their attendance or presentation at the quarterly meeting. Attendance Compensation: MCPIPA member physicians who attend the R4P quarterly meetings will receive a flat rate of $350 per meeting. Policies and procedures for attendance have been developed by the IPA and are available to IPA members upon request. Presenter Compensation: MCPIPA member physicians who present a topic and lead the discussion will be compensated at the flat rate of $500. Physicians who are compensated as a Presenter will only receive the Presenter Compensation and they will not receive the Attendance Compensation. 2
3 INCENTIVE MEASURES The MCPIPA Incentive Design Team, composed of IPA member physicians from both primary and specialty care, worked with the IPA Executive Director and Clinical Program Coordinator to design the MCPIPA 2017 Incentive Program. Once the Incentive Measures were identified and developed, they were vetted through the Executive Committee and the Physician Incentive and Engagement Committee (PIE) and approved by the MCPIPA Board of Directors. The IPA Board, Executive Committee and PIE Committee are comprised entirely of IPA member physicians. IPA Member Physicians must complete three of the four required Incentive Measures each quarter to be eligible to receive Incentive payments for the completed Measures. IPA member physicians who meet the requirements of the Measures will receive the pre-determined value amount stipulated in the written detail of the Measure. For example, the Technology Measure is valued at 10% and, if the physician meets the requirements of this measure, he/she will receive 10% of his/her contribution to the Incentive Funds. Distribution of Incentive Funds IPA Member Physicians who complete the required Incentive Measures will be eligible to receive the Incentive Pool distributions for that measure. Conversely, physicians who do not complete the required Measures will not be eligible to receive the compensation for that Incentive Measures. The Incentive Measure payments will be distributed quarterly to those who meet the required benchmarks for each quarter. The amount each physician contributes to the Incentive Pool varies widely because it is eight percent (8%) of the physician s Paid Amount which is the amount paid to the physician by the health plan after patient responsibility is deducted. Effectiveness of the Incentive Measures This wide variability in the amount available for the physician to earn could impact the effectiveness of the general Incentive Measures. Because the individual physician contributions to the Incentive Pool vary each quarter that would mean that the earned value of the incentives measures also vary. For example: Physician A contributed $51.00 to the Incentive Pool. The Technology Measure is weighted at 10%, resulting in a payment to Physician A of $5.10 if the measure is met. The two Quality Measures, each weighted at 45%, would pay $22.95 per measure, if the measures are met. Physician B contributed $7, to the Incentive Pool. The Technology Measure, is weighted at 10%, resulting in a payment to Physician B of $ if the measure is met. The two Quality Measures, each weighted at 45%, would pay $3, per measure, if the measures are met. In November 2016, the IPA general membership approved the establishment of a $500 Minimum Threshold to more effectively incentivize all IPA members to participate in our incentive program. Effective with distribution of the 1Q2017 Incentive Program (estimated to be May of 2017), the methodology used will be a Modified Net Pro-Rated Basis. The Modified Net Pro-Rated Basis method allows for those physicians whose contribution to the Incentive Pool is less than $500 to be brought up to a minimum threshold of $500 before the payment of the quarterly incentive distribution is calculated. 3
4 Funding of the $500 Minimum Threshold The funding of the $500 Minimum Threshold will come from the following sources: 1. Funds from Non-IPA Physicians. The first source of funding for the $500 Minimum threshold is from physicians who are not members of MCPIPA. Each quarter when Rocky Mountain Health Plans collects the data and calculates the amount to be paid to MCPIPA for the 8% Incentive Plan Fund, the amount received includes dollars from physicians who are NOT members of MCPIPA. Typically, these physicians are those who provide coverage for MCPIPA member physicians. Though we have tried, it is too administratively burdensome for RMHP to reconfigure this allocation to MCPIPA. The dollars from Non-IPA physicians varies each quarter. 2. R4P Meeting Attendance. Another source of funding for the $500 Minimum Threshold is from the R4P allotment. Payment for attendance at the Quarterly R4P All Physician meetings will be capped at a flat rate of $350 per meeting per physician. Previously the R4P meeting attendance compensation was calculated by subtracting the cost of the facility, food, presentations (when done) and supplies from the $75,000 budget. The remaining balance was then shared equally with those physicians who attended the meeting. The $500 Minimum Threshold also subtracts the cost of the facility, food, presentations (when done) and supplies from the $75,000. Physicians who attend the Quarterly R4P meetings will receive a flat rate of $350 per meeting and the remaining balance will be used to help fund the $500 Minimum Threshold. If needed, an optional source of funding for the $500 Minimum Threshold is the Bonus Pool. Bonus Pool. The Bonus Pool is funded by those physicians who do not participate in or meet the incentive measures. Historically, this amount of dollars is shared on a pro-rated basis with those physicians who meet the incentive measures. In the event that the funds from Non-IPA Physicians and the change in R4P Meeting Attendance do not provide enough dollars to fund the $500 Minimum Threshold any additional monies needed would come from the Bonus Pool. The remaining funds in the Bonus Pool will be shared on a pro-rated basis with those physicians who met the incentive measures. Conversely, any overage from the Non-IPA Physicians and the funds available through the R4P Meeting Attendance will be included in the Bonus Pool and shared, on a pro-rated basis, with those physicians who met the incentive measures. Other Parameters for the $500 Minimum Threshold: In no event would the threshold be allowed to use more than 10% of the General Incentive Fund. The $500 threshold is the total amount paid, and it is only paid when the member meets the measures and would otherwise receive less than $500/quarter. The amount already contributed by the physician to the General Incentive Fund would be included in the $500 threshold and not in addition to it. For example, if a physician earned $53.00 for the quarter and if they meet the measures they would earn $500.00, and not $ The Physician Incentive and Engagement Committee, with direction from the Executive Committee and the Board of Directors, will oversee the distributions and make decisions on the details as needed. 4

12 Administrative Measure Practice Technology Questionnaire Third Next Available New Patient Appointment MCPIPA 2017 Incentive Program - 2Q2017 To be completed by Medical Practices Submit this form to MCPIPA by July 30, 2017 Practice Name: Third Next Available Appointment Definition: Average length of time in days between the day a new patient requests an appointment with a physician and the third available appointment. Third next available appointment is used rather than next available as it is a more sensitive reflection of true appointment availability. For example, an appointment may be open at the time of a request because of a cancellation or other unexpected event. Using third next available appointment eliminates these chance occurrences from the measure of availability. Method: Sample all the physicians in the group on the same day. Sample one day in each of the three months of 2Q2017 Enter a dummy patient to schedule with a physician and identify the Third Next Available appointment for this new patient. Count the number of days between the request day and the Third Next Available date. Count ALL calendar days in your count, including weekends and days off. Do not use blocked or saved slots as these are not actually available. Compute the average of all physicians in the practice for each month by adding the number of days for each month for all physicians and dividing that total by the number of physicians.

29 Samples of Clinical Pearls Sample One: Clinical Pearl: Diagnosis And Management Of Biphosphonate Related Hip Fractures Contributor: Steven Gammon, M.D. Rocky Mountain Orthopaedic Associates PC Target Audience: Primary Care; Emergency Department Physicians; and, Orthopedic Surgeons Osteoporotic or fragility fractures are any fracture that occurs from a simple fall, like a fall from standing height. People with weak bones are more likely to break bones with simple falls. The following are the most common types of osteoporotic fractures: Spine compression fractures Hip fractures Wrist fractures The following are the National Osteoporosis Foundation recommendations* for ANY female over 50 or male over 55: 1. Educate yourself about osteoporosis 2. Healthy diet a. Take adequate Vitamin D ( iu/day) and Calcium (1200 mg/day) in your diet and supplement as necessary. 3. Physical activity a. Weight-bearing activity, like walking, will stimulate bone production. 4. Avoid tobacco and excessive alcohol a. Tobacco nicotine slows circulation to bone and alcohol can impair your thinking and make you more likely to fall. 5. Practice fall prevention principles a. Clean clutter from house and be aware of throw rugs that can trip you. b. Make your bathroom a safe place with hand-rails to get in and out of bathtub and toilet. c. Be sure all stairs in and out of house have railings. d. Have good lighting and check your own sight too. 6. See your primary care doctor about being tested for osteoporosis and take osteoporosis medications if indicated. a. Bone mineral density (BMD) testing should be performed in women over 65 and men over
30 b. Initiate medical treatment for T-scores -2.5 OR in patients with hip or vertebral fractures. There is no uniform recommendation for duration of treatment. Monitor BMD every 2 years after initiating treatment. c. Look for and correct secondary causes of osteoporosis. References: *Cosman F, et al.

31 Sample Two: Clinical Pearl: Butalbital and Opioids in the Treatment of Migraine Headache Contributor: Joel Dean, D.O. Grand Valley Neurology Target Audience: Primary Care Physicians For many years, compounded butalbital and compounded narcotics were used frequently for the treatment of headache, especially migraine headache. In the early 1970s, evidence started to accumulate that butalbital could cause problems. By the late 1970s the concept of rebound was firmly established in the headache literature, and eventually gained acceptance among primary care providers. More recently, it is clear that compounded narcotics also cause rebound. Thus, it has been clear for a good while that these medications cannot be used frequently in headache patients. In the last 10 or 12 years studies have been published which suggest (primarily in the ER setting) that narcotics really have limited utility in the abortive treatment of migraine headache, even when used infrequently. Many physicians, however, have a different personal experience (that is, they have patients who report that narcotics are helpful for their headache). I believe a few historical features can be very helpful in the primary care clinic. Patients often talk to us about their significant headache, but don t mention all of their headaches. Whenever a patient is talking to me about migraine, I always ask them how many types of headache they have. It is quite common for patients with migraine to have sinus headache, muscle tension headache, or regular headaches. The other question I ask them is how many days in a month do they have no headache at all, versus small headaches or big headaches. It is common for a patient to say they have 2 or 3 migraine headaches a month. In some of these patients, that means they have 27 or 28 days with no headache at all. In other patients however, the story is completely different: They may have 2 or 3 migraines a month, each lasting 3 days. They may have 10, 12, 15 days a month with other headache types. These patients may be using Tylenol for some of their headache, Advil or Aleve for some of their headache, sinus preparations for some. If you add even a small number of Vicodin or Fiorinal tablets into this regimen, odds are you will see initial improvement followed by worsening. You will be the cause of their rebound headache. On the other hand, we all see patients who have 1 or 2 migraines a month, 6 or 8 migraine headaches a year, and very little migraine headache otherwise. In these patients the use of high-dose Aleve (600 to 1,000 mg), high-dose Advil (800 to 1,200 mg), or Fiorinal or Vicodin is probably fine. In some patients this may be highly preferable because of the cost of triptan agents. If these patients are taking pain medications on a very frequent basis for some other cause (back pain, shoulder 21
32 pain etc.) they may also be at risk of developing rebound. If not, then these affordable alternatives may be very appropriate. The key is to ask a couple of quick questions, so that you have an idea of the patient s overall headache history, and their overall use of OTC and prescription pain meds. Many headache specialists issue the blanket statement that Fiorinal and narcotics should never be used at all, for any headache type. This is because, especially in the case of butalbital, the development of rebound can occur so easily. References: AHS Annual Meeting syllabus, 2012, 2014,
