code* for the specific episode and meet the trigger criteria that is specified for the episode. A confirming trigger claim at east 30 days after the initial trigger claim is also necessary to ensure the episode is appropriate for the member.

20 November 29, 2016

VBP Education & Outreach (VEO) Planning is Underway with a Provider Association Town Hall

Objectives

  • Inform VBP Provider Associations on NYS VBP
  • Identify what knowledge gaps exist among the provider

community that may hinder the transition into VBP.

Agenda

  • Provide VBP 101 Overview
  • Explain what educational support DOH can provide and

solicit feedback on the presented VEO activities

  • Q&A

Time & Location

  • December 16th, 2016; 11am – 1:30pm
  • University at Albany, School of Public Health;
  • Edward S. and Frances Gilda George Education Center,

Auditorium

  • 1 University Place, Rensselaer, NY 12144

Feedback from the Town Hall will inform CY 2017 VEO strategy through dialogue between Medicaid provider associations and DOH

VEO Strategy will aim to close the knowledge gap in the plan (MCO) and provider communities to support the transition to VBP. VEO activities include but are not limited to:

  • VBP Bulletin/News Updates via VBP Mailbox
  • Whiteboard videos
  • VBP Contracting templates
  • Subpopulation specific learning events
  • VBP Implementation Fora (lessons learned)
  • Factsheets

DOH Provider associations

  • III. MACRA Update

21 November 29, 2016

slide-22
SLIDE 22

MACRA Update

MACRA Quality Payment Program has two tracks:

1. Advanced alternative payment models (APMs)

  • Payment arrangements may qualify as “advanced*” or “Other Payer advanced**” APMs. (See Appendix for criteria)

2. Merit-based incentive payment system (MIPS)

To qualify as an Other Payer advanced APM, the rule establishes three requirements :

  • Utilize certified electronic health record technology (CEHRT)
  • Provide for payment for covered professional services based on quality measures comparable to those in the quality

performance category under MIPS

  • Bear risk of more than nominal amount under the APM or be a Medicaid Medical Home Model that meets criteria comparable

to Medical Home Models expanded under the Act. (See Appendix)

DOH Feedback, key themes:

  • Request that MACRA accept NYS Medicaid VBP Arrangements, Level 2 risk-sharing or higher, as advanced APMs.
  • Allowing providers to use multiple payers to reach minimum required revenue/patient thresholds for advanced APMs.
  • Allow for gradual implementation of CEHRT, given Medicare and Medicaid Meaningful Use programs are on different timelines.

22 November 29, 2016

*Section 1833 (z)(D) of the Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act of 2015 (MACRA) ** Section 1833(z)(2) Other payer includes Medicaid or a commercial payer
