Joint Principles of the Patient Centered Medical Home

In March 2007 the AAP, AAFP, ACP, and AOA, representing approximately 333,000 physicians, developed the following joint principles to describe the characteristics of the PCMH.

 Personal Physician  Physician Directed Practice  Whole Person Orientation  Enhanced Access  Quality and Safety  Adequate Payment  Care is coordinated and / or integrated 4/25/2020 7

Patient Centered Medical Home

Builds on successes already achieved in SoonerCare Choice patterned after North Carolina and Alabama’s medical home model Adopted by other payers:  Medicare  Private Payers  Large, Self Insured Employers  Patient-Centered Primary Care Collaborative  State Government 8

Previous SoonerCare Choice Reimbursement

Monthly Capitated “Bundled” payment • • Case Management / Care Coordination Fee Primary care office visits • Limited lab services Other codes paid on FFS basis Incentive Payments • EPSDT / 4 th DTaP bonus (lump sum payments) 4/25/2020 9

PCMH Reimbursement

The most effective way to re-align payment incentives to support the PCMH would be to combine traditional fee for-service for office visits with a three part model that includes: •

A monthly care coordination payment

•

A visit-based fee-for-service component

•

A performance-based component

SoonerCare Choice Comparison

What Stayed the Same?

Current funding remains the same Provider determines medical necessity Federal restriction (e.g. EMTALA, co-pays)

What Changed?

Prepayment for case management only Referrals only needed for specialty care Group contracts must designate a medical director Elimination of default autoassignment 4/25/2020 11

Additional SoonerCare Choice Changes

• • • • Coverage of new codes (e.g. after hours) OB/GYN specialists that do not provide primary care may no longer be PCPs Members may change PCPs within the month Case Mgmt payment will be based on date processed 4/25/2020 12

Health Access Networks

• • • • Additional payment to the network Network will be approved by the MAT Must provide access to all levels of care Develops business relationships with – Primary care providers – Specialty providers – Outpatient, inpatient – Ancillary providers – RHC, FQHC
