  19. Division of Medical Services P.O. Box 1437, Slot S-415 · Little Rock, AR 72203-1437 501-683-4120 · Fax: 501-683-4124 Dear Medicaid provider, This is an update on the Arkansas Health Care Payment Improvement Initiative – a payment system developed with input from hundreds of health care providers, patients and family members. Our goal is to support and reward providers who consistently deliver high-quality, coordinated, and cost-effective care. As a reminder, a core component of this multi-payer initiative is episodes of care. An episode is the collection of care provided to treat a particular condition over a given length of time. Since July, Arkansas Medicaid introduced five episodes: Upper Respiratory Infection (URI), Perinatal, Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Total Joint Replacement (TJR), and Congestive Heart Failure (CHF), with many more episodes to be added over time. For each episode, the provider that holds the main responsibility for ensuring that care is delivered at appropriate cost and quality will be designated as the Principal Accountable Provider (PAPs). For some episodes in the period covered in the attached report (Jul 2011 to Jun 2012), you were identified as the PAP. After appropriate risk-adjustments and exclusions, your average quality and cost was compared with previously announced thresholds. This determines any potential sharing of savings or excess cost indicated in the report. Note that all information described throughout your report is based on retrospective claims and all providers should continue to submit and receive reimbursement for claims as they do today. The TJR and CHF episodes are currently in the preparatory phase and this current report is historical only, covering episodes completed between Jul 2011 and Jun 2012. The ‘performance period’ for these episodes will start February 1, 2013, and reports reflecting episodes eligible for risk and gain sharing will follow beginning in July 2013, due to time needed for appropriate claims to be received. To aid you in your role as a PAP for future episodes, we have been working hard with providers and other payers to design a set of reports that give you detailed data about the quality and cost of your care as well as how this compares with the range of performance of other providers. As each payer will send a report covering their patients, you may receive similar reports from Arkansas Blue Cross Blue Shield or QualChoice. We encourage you to log onto the provider portal at www.paymentinitiative.org to access your current and previous ‘preparatory period’ reports. As a PAP for either the CHF or TJR episodes, you should begin using this portal to enter selected quality metrics for each patient with an episode of care starting after February 1, 2013. We have been working diligently to solicit feedback from the provider community and will continue in our efforts to respond to all questions, comments and concerns raised in a timely and consistent manner. For answers to frequently asked questions regarding the initiative and episodes, please refer to the payment initiative website (www.paymentinitiaitve.org). You can also call us at 1-866-322-4696 or locally at 501-301-8311 with questions or email ARKPII@hp.com. Additionally, be sure to check the website regularly for updates on upcoming informational WebEx sessions, other resources, or to sign up for alerts.
