The Bottom Line Key takeaways from our discussion today: Oregon s Open Card/Fee-for-Service Program serves as the backstop for the Oregon Health Plan (OHP) and brings added value to the state s efforts to transform the health care system. The program, administered by KEPRO, complements the coordinated care model by ensuring that no OHP member falls out of coverage. It s not Open Card vs. CCOs it s a partnership, one that ensures that all Oregonians are receiving the right care, at the right time and in the right setting. KEPRO s care coordination has saved Oregon $85 Million over the past 6 years. 2

OHPCC Overview Since 2010, KEPRO has provided Care Coordination Services for the Open Card/Fee- For-Service members of the Oregon Health Plan (OHP). OHPCC is a cost-neutral service provided to OHP Open Card and Dual Eligible members to coordinate their individual health care needs. We use a collaborative process that facilitates treatment plans and ensures appropriate medical care is provided to the individual to promote quality and cost-effective outcomes. We coordinate care for approximately 12 percent of the OHP population (approx. 120,000 members per month). Our case managers coordinate medical, dental and behavioral care across the continuum to provide integrated whole-person care to our members. In July 2016, our scope of work was expanded to include behavioral health screenings under the 1915(i) Waiver Program. 4
OHPCC Overview General Characteristics of the OHPCC Program Any OHP member not enrolled in a CCO qualifies for the OHPCC, including: Dual-eligible (Medicare and Medicaid) members must opt-in to join a CCO. American Indian & Alaska Natives have the ability to join and leave a CCO as they choose. Medically fragile children who have special needs. Members covered under third party liability insurance. Continuity of care if no reasonable alternatives are available. 5

OHPCC: Care Coordination Provide Health Coaches to Open Card members to help them manage their condition, illness or disease. Provide a 24-hour Nurse Advice Line for all of our members to call anytime to get help! Offer care coordination services for all Open Card members in the state of Oregon. We analyze the claims data received from the State of Oregon and identify the highest acuity members via our Percolator Software. We conduct outreach to members, do a thorough assessment of their health, living situation, and support system in order to guide them to improved health. We provide a Plan of Care consistent with their provider s care. We work with members on medication compliance, exercise, diet, making appointments, education and more. We provide resource assistance to members in need of community or state assistance programs for such things as transportation, help paying household utilities or locating a doctor or specialist. 7
Care Coordination Strategies Strategy In Home Medication Reconciliation Referrals to APD Case Manager Services Transitions of Care Fall Prevention Integration of APD Assessment Data Nursing Home Diversion Activities Serious and Persistent Mental Illness Diagnosis Specific Care e.g. Diabetes Headline Top reason for readmission is improper use of medications. CB RNs visiting members in home to ensure. Our RNs have the capability to refer members to Case Managers at APD so that they can receive services based on Service Priority Level (1-13). Like FFS, the RNs both telephonic and CB, will coordinate care with discharge planners and providers to coordinate optimum placement. All RNs will be trained on Fall Prevention and will be able to do a full fall prevention check list with members to minimize risks. Oregon Access is the APD system that tracks members receiving services offered through the state. We coordinate this data with C3 to maximize coordination. Whether we are working with a member to leave a nursing facility or diverting a member to a more optimum facility, the goal is to minimize costs. Behavioral Health challenges are persistent in this population; medical care and behavior care will be closely coordinated (diseases, suicides, etc.). Fundamental Disease Specific Management must continue to be a foundation on which this program is built. 8
OHPCC Outcomes We achieve triple aim in Oregon with better outcomes, better experiences of care and lower costs, saving the state $85 million for the first six program years and a 3.1:1 ROI.

OHPCC Hepatitis-C Pilot Project We began coordinating care for antiviral treatments available for patients with the Hepatitis-C Virus. There are 21 OHP Open Card members participating in the pilot. Nine members have successfully completed their therapy. More than 952 doses of medication have been monitored through the pilot. We identified and intervened in three cases where a potential enrollment lapse was possible or probable. We identified two members with third party liability (insurance) responsible for covering the costs of treatment (saving the state approximately $200,000). So far, there is a compliance rate of 99.5 percent (947 of 952 doses of medication were taken by participants in the pilot project). Several studies suggest that patients on their own have a compliance rate of approximately 70 percent. 10
Behavioral Health Initiatives We are supporting the state s efforts to reduce state hospital utilization by determining the proper placement of patients in community-based, person-centered services. These services are included in Oregon s state plan and are part of Oregon s Home and Community-Based Services providing needed support for individuals to live integrated in the community and have experiences, including employment, just like other members of the community, supporting an individual s independence and dignity. There are two types of behavioral services in the state plan: Home Based Habilitation Services are provided to an individual who needs assistance with activities for daily living. Behavioral Habitation Services are designed to assist an individual in attaining or maintaining their maximum level of independence. 11
CCO & Open Card Relationship The OHPCC serves as the backstop for health system transformation, ensuring nobody falls out of coverage. Network adequacy continues to be an issue for the managed care delivery system. OHPCC is a vital option of last resort for OHP members in need of care. The OHPCC supports health system transformation by separating special populations from the capitated budgets of the CCOs, enabling them to further innovate the care delivery model improving health outcomes for the vast majority of OHP members. We are committed to a warm-transfer of member information if and when they are ready to enroll into a CCO to ensure an easy transition for both the CCO and the member. 12
