3 ACO Participants who report PQRS measures separately REGULATORY UPDATES
4 ACO Participants who report PQRS quality measures separately After consideration of the comments received regarding CMS proposed policies for EPs and group practices participating in ACOs that report PQRS quality measures separately from the ACO, CMS is finalizing the policies as proposed. At (j)(1)(ii), CMS is finalizing its proposal to establish a secondary PQRS reporting period for the 2017 PQRS payment adjustment for individual EPs or group practices who bill under the TIN of an ACO participant if the ACO failed to report on behalf of such individual EPs or group practices during the previously established reporting period for the 2017 PQRS payment adjustment.
5 ACO Participants who report PQRS quality measures separately This option is limited to EPs and group practices that bill through the TIN of an ACO participant in an ACO that failed to satisfactorily report on behalf of its EPs and would not be available to EPs and group practices that failed to report for purposes of PQRS outside the Shared Savings Program; e.g. not in an ACO. CMS is finalizing its proposal that these affected EPs may utilize the secondary reporting period either as an individual EP or as a group practice using one of the registry, QCDR, direct EHR product, or EHR data submission vendor reporting options. CMS is are also finalizing its proposal that such EPs do not need to register for the PQRS GPRO for the 2017 PQRS payment adjustment.
6 ACO Participants who report PQRS quality measures separately In addition, CMS is finalizing at (j)(4)(v) its proposal that sections (j)(8)(ii), (iii), and (iv) would apply to affected EPs reporting as individuals using this secondary reporting period for the 2017 PQRS payment adjustment. Further, CMS is finalizing at (j)(7)(viii) its proposal that sections (j)(9)(ii), (iii), and (iv) would apply to affected EPs reporting as group practices using this secondary reporting period for the 2017 PQRS payment adjustment.
7 ACO Participants who report PQRS quality measures separately CMS is finalizing its proposal that the secondary reporting period for the 2017 PQRS payment adjustment would coincide with the reporting period for the 2018 PQRS payment adjustment (that is, January 1, 2016 through December 31, 2016). In addition, CMS is finalizing a policy under which CMS will assess the individual EP or group practice s 2016 data using the applicable satisfactory reporting requirements for the 2018 PQRS payment adjustment (including, but not limited to, the applicable PQRS measure set). If an affected individual EP or group practice decides to use the secondary reporting period for the 2017 PQRS payment adjustment, the EP or group practice should expect to receive a PQRS payment adjustment for services furnished in 2017 until CMS is able to determine that the EP or group practice satisfactorily reported for purposes of the 2017 PQRS payment adjustment. Further, CMS is finalizing its proposal that the informal review submission periods for these EPs or group practices would occur during the 60 days following the release of the PQRS feedback reports for the 2018 PQRS payment adjustment.

60 Beneficiary Preferences and ACO Assignment PATIENT ALIGNMENT 11/14/
61 Beneficiary Preferences and ACO Assignment Because of uncertainty inherent in FFS Medicare where there is no beneficiary lock-in or enrollment, both patient advocacy groups and ACOs have expressed interest in and support for enhancing claimsbased assignment of beneficiaries to ACOs by taking into account beneficiary attestation regarding the healthcare provider that they consider to be responsible for coordinating their overall care.
62 Basic assignment methodology. * * * * * (e) For performance year 2018 and subsequent performance years, if a system is available to allow a beneficiary to designate a provider or supplier as responsible for coordinating their overall care and for CMS to process the designation electronically, CMS will supplement the claims-based assignment methodology described in this section with information provided by beneficiaries regarding the provider or supplier they consider responsible for coordinating their overall care. Such designations must be made in the form and manner and by a deadline determined by CMS. (1) Notwithstanding the assignment methodology under paragraph (b) of this section, beneficiaries who designate an ACO professional participating in an ACO as responsible for coordinating their overall care are prospectively assigned to that ACO, regardless of track, annually at the beginning of each benchmark and performance year based on available data at the time assignment lists are determined for the benchmark and performance year.
63 (2) Beneficiaries will be added to the ACO s list of assigned beneficiaries if all of the following conditions are satisfied: The beneficiary must have had at least one primary care service during the assignment window as defined under with a physician who is an ACO professional in the ACO who is a primary care physician as defined under or who has one of the primary specialty designations included in paragraph (c) of this section. The beneficiary meets the eligibility criteria established at (a) and must not be excluded by the criteria at (b). The exclusion criteria at (b) apply for purposes of determining beneficiary eligibility for alignment to ACOs under all tracks based on the beneficiary s designation of an ACO professional as responsible for coordinating their overall care under paragraph (e) of this section
64
65 (2) Beneficiaries will be added to the ACO s list of assigned beneficiaries if all of the following conditions are satisfied: The beneficiary must have designated an ACO professional who is a primary care physician as defined at , a physician with a specialty designation included at paragraph (c) of this section, or a nurse practitioner, physician assistant, or clinical nurse specialist as responsible for coordinating their overall care. If a beneficiary has designated a provider or supplier outside the ACO who is a primary care physician as defined at , a physician with a specialty designation included at paragraph (c) of this section, or a nurse practitioner, physician assistant, or clinical nurse specialist, as responsible for coordinating their overall care, the beneficiary will not be added to the ACO s list of assigned beneficiaries for a performance year under the assignment methodology in paragraph (b) of this section.
66 (3) The ACO, ACO participants, ACO providers/suppliers, ACO professionals, and other individuals or entities performing functions and services related to ACO activities are prohibited from providing or offering gifts or other remuneration to Medicare beneficiaries as inducements for influencing a Medicare beneficiary s decision to designate or not to designate an ACO professional under paragraph (e) of this section. The ACO, ACO participants, ACO providers/suppliers, ACO professionals, and other individuals or entities performing functions and services related to ACO activities must not, directly or indirectly, commit any act or omission, nor adopt any policy that coerces or otherwise influences a Medicare beneficiary s decision to designate or not to designate an ACO professional as responsible for coordinating their overall care under paragraph (e) of this section, including but not limited to the following: (i) Offering anything of value to the Medicare beneficiary as an inducement to influence the Medicare beneficiary s decision to designate or not to designate an ACO professional as responsible for coordinating their overall care under paragraph (e) of this section. Any items or services provided in violation of paragraph (e)(3) will not be considered to have a reasonable connection to the medical care of the beneficiary, as required under (a)(2). (ii) Withholding or threatening to withhold medical services or limiting or threatening to limit access to care.
67 2017 Chronic Care Management (CCM) Program REGULATORY UPDATES & HEALTH ENDEAVORS CCM PROGRAM
68 New Medicare Payment for CCM Beginning January 1, 2015, Medicare now pays for chronic care management, or CCM. As detailed below, CCM payments will reimburse practitioners for furnishing specified non-face-to-face services to qualified beneficiaries over a calendar month. Specifically, CMS has adopted CPT for Medicare CCM services, which is defined in the CPT Professional Codebook as follows: Chronic care management services, at least 20 minutes of clinical staff time directed by a physician or other qualified health care professional, per calendar month, with the following required elements: multiple (two or more) chronic conditions expected to last at least 12 months, or until the death of the patient; chronic conditions place the patient at significant risk of death, acute exacerbation/decompensation, or functional decline; comprehensive care plan established, implemented, revised, or monitored.
69 E/M Visit G0506 Add-on Code OR G0505 Add-on Code AND Prolonged Service Codes Total Billing Initiating Visit Start Face-to-Face Initiating Visit Initiation during an Annual Wellness Visit (AWV), Initial Preventive Physical Examination (IPPE or Welcome to Medicare Visit), face-to-face E/M visit (Level 4 or 5 visit not required), for new patients or patients not seen within 1 year prior to the commencement of chronic care management (CCM) services. The face-to-face visit is NOT a component of the CCM service, and thus may be billed separately. G0506 Add-on Code. Comprehensive assessment of and care planning by the physician or other qualified health care professional for patients requiring chronic care management services, including assessment during the provision of a face-toface service. This add-on code is to be listed separately in addition to the primary service and billed separately from monthly care management services. The projected payment rate for G0506 is $63.68 (non-facility) and $46.15 (facility).
70 E/M Visit G0506 Add-on Code OR G0505 Add-on Code AND Prolonged Service Codes Total Billing Initiating Visit Add-On Code G0506 Additional work of the billing practitioner in personally performing a faceto-face assessment Acknowledging complaints that the time spent developing the CCM-required care plan currently is not reimbursed, CMS proposes to pay physicians for care plan development under a new code, G0506. The agency proposes the following description for this code: Comprehensive assessment of and care planning by the physician or other qualified health care professional for patients requiring chronic care management services, including assessment during the provision of a face-to-face service. This add-on code is to be listed separately in addition to the primary service and billed separately from monthly care management services. The projected payment rate for G0506 is $63.68 (non-facility) and $46.15 (facility).
71 E/M Visit G0506 Add-on Code OR G0505 Add-on Code AND Prolonged Service Codes Total Billing Initiating Visit Prolonged Prolonged E/M Service Codes CCM and Complex CCM reimburse providers for clinical staff time spent providing care management services, not time spent by physicians. Recognizing the additional resource costs involved in spending an extraordinary amount of time outside the office visit caring for an individual patient s needs, CMS proposes to make payment under two codes: CPT Prolonged E/M service before and/or after direct patient care, first hour CPT Prolonged E/M service before and/or after direct patient care, each additional 30 minutes (listed separately in addition to CPT 99358) In discussing these services, CMS warns the time counted for these codes must be beyond the usual service time for the primary or companion E/M code that is also billed; no time can be counted more than once toward the provision of CPT 99358, 99359, and any other service reimbursable under the Medicare Physician Fee Schedule. The projected payment rate for is $ (facility and non-facility); for 99359, it is $54.38 (facility and non-facility).
72 Care Plan Development Addon Code G0506 Payment to physicians for care plan development under new code, G0506. G0505 companion code plus Non-Face-to-Face Prolonged E/M Services and Extraordinary amount of time outside the office visit caring for an individual patient s needs. Comprehensive assessment of and care planning by the physician or other qualified health care professional for patients requiring CCM services, including assessment during the provision of a faceto-face service. The projected payment rate is $63.68 (non-facility) and $46.15 (facility) prolonged E/M service before and/or after direct patient care, 60 minutes prolonged E/M service before and/or after direct patient care, each additional 30 minutes after Same or different day Projected payment rate for is $ (facility and non-facility and for is $54.38 (facility and non-facility) Same or different day

74 Next Confirm Patient CCM Eligible 2+ Chronic Conditions expected to last at least 12 months (or until death that place the patient at significant risk of death, acute exacerbation/decompensation, or functional decline. CMS has not mandated a definitive list of chronic conditions for purposes of CCM. Health Endeavors generally uses
75 Next Verbal Consent Documented Inform the beneficiary of the availability of CCM services; that only one practitioner can furnish and be paid for these services during a calendar month; and of their right to stop the CCM services at any time (effective at the end of the calendar month) Document in the beneficiary s medical record that the required information was explained and whether the beneficiary accepted or declined the services. Next Co-pay Discussion Verify Supplement Payment Collect Monthly Waiver of Co-pay for indigent patients
76 Structured EHR Technology Structured Recording of Patient Information Using Certified EHR Technology Structured recording of demographics, problems, medications and medication allergies using certified EHR technology. A full list of problems, medications and medication allergies in the EHR must inform the care plan, care coordination and ongoing clinical care
77 24/7 Access 24/7 Access & Continuity of Care Provide 24/7 access to physicians or other qualified health care professionals or clinical staff including providing patients/caregivers with a means to make contact with health care professionals in the practice to address urgent needs regardless of the time of day or day of week. Continuity of care with a designated member of the care team with whom the beneficiary is able to schedule successive routine appointments.

Must at least electronically capture care plan information, and make this information available timely within and outside the billing practice as appropriate. Share care plan information electronically (can include fax) and timely within and outside the billing practice to individuals involved in the beneficiary s care. A copy of the plan of care (in any form) must be given to the patient and/or caregiver.
