1 COST. It s the name of the healthcare reform game Jennifer Searfoss, ESQ, CPOM, CHCI, CMCS Founder, SCG Health

2 Today s Session Session Description Under the second year of the Medicare Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS), physician practices are again held accountable for their attributed beneficiary cost. And health plans in Maryland are already evaluating network participation and referral patterns depending upon cost episodes. This session will provide a brief history of cost data from a health plan perspective, sources of data and how it is used in network participation, negotiation and referral decisions. Participants will gain an appreciation for what data is available and actionable campaigns that can and do reduce overall healthcare cost to the system. Understand how health plans attribute patients and their cost to your practice, primary care or specialty Identify pending cost models that will update the program for specialist care Crystalize the role of care management in the model and ways that practices can tap into existing workflows to improve care management Working with sample cases, utilize Medicare data to identify important data points, what they mean and options to improve a group s quality and cost scores 2018 Maryland MGMA.
