| FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS: | HEADQUARTERED IN BUFFALO, INDEPENDENT HEALTH BEGAN OPERATIONS IN 1980 AND HAS CONSISTENTLY BEEN RATED AMONG THE TOP HEALTH PLANS IN THE COUNTRY FOR CUSTOMER SERVICE AND MEMBER SATISFACTION. INDEPENDENT HEALTH'S COMPREHENSIVE PORTFOLIO OF PROGRESSIVE PRODUCTS INCLUDE HMO, POS, PPO AND EPO PRODUCTS, MEDICARE AND MEDICAID PLANS, TRADITIONAL INDEMNITY INSURANCE, INDIVIDUAL AND SMALL GROUP EXCHANGE PRODUCTS, AND CONSUMER-DIRECTED PLANS, PLUS COVERAGE FOR SELF-FUNDED EMPLOYERS. INDEPENDENT HEALTH'S SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES INCLUDE PHARMACY BENEFIT DIMENSIONS, RELIANCE RX, DXID, NOVA HEALTHCARE ADMINISTRATORS, INC., AND EVOLVE PRACTICE PARTNERS. IHA OFFERS ITS MEMBERS HEALTH RISK MANAGEMENT TOOLS INCLUDING AN ONLINE HEALTH RISK ASSESSMENT AND THE USE OF A DATA WAREHOUSE TO ANALYZE AND PREDICT POTENTIAL RISK AND DEVELOP SOLUTIONS TO HELP CONTROL CURRENT AND PREVENT FUTURE PROBLEMS. PROGRAMS FOR COVERED EMPLOYEES AS WELL AS FOR EMPLOYERS HELP THEM MAKE GOOD HEALTH A PART OF THEIR CULTURE. IHA OFFERS A 24-HOUR MEDICAL HELP LINE WITH ACCESS TO A REGISTERED NURSE, CASE MANAGEMENT, DISEASE MANAGEMENT AND HEALTH COACHES. IHA ALSO ESTABLISHED AN ADVANCED PATIENT CENTERED MEDICAL HOME (PCMH) PILOT PROGRAM IN JANUARY 2009. THE PCMH PROGRAM INCLUDED 18 DIVERSE PRIMARY CARE PRACTICES ACROSS WNY, 130 PHYSICIANS AND NEARLY 50,000 IHA MEMBERS. THE PRACTICES WORKED TOWARD IMPROVED QUALITY OF CARE WITH EXPANDED ACCESS TO ALLOW SAME-DAY APPOINTMENTS AND AFTER-HOURS CARE; ENHANCED TECHNOLOGY TO INCLUDE ELECTRONIC MEDICAL RECORDS AND EMAILS WITH PATIENTS; AND A COMPREHENSIVE CARE TEAM FOR THOSE WITH OR AT RISK OF HAVING A CHRONIC CONDITION. ADMINISTRATIVE ASSISTANCE WAS ALSO PROVIDED TO HELP IMPLEMENT NEW OFFICE PROCEDURES. ANOTHER IMPORTANT ASPECT OF THE PCMH MODEL WAS THAT IT ALSO INCLUDED MANY OF THE FEDERAL HEALTH CARE REFORM EFFORTS INCLUDING PREVENTION AND WELLNESS THROUGH COORDINATED CARE, EVIDENCED-BASED GUIDELINES TO GAUGE OUTCOMES AND REFORM OF PHYSICIAN PAYMENT TO IMPROVE QUALITY AND EFFICIENCY. IHA DEVOTED TIME AND FINANCIAL RESOURCES THAT ENABLED THE 130 PHYSICIANS IN THIS PROGRAM TO REDESIGN THEIR PRACTICES. IHA ALSO PROVIDED DETAILED MEMBER INFORMATION TO ENABLE OUR PHYSICIANS TO MANAGE CARE OPPORTUNITIES FOR IHA MEMBERS. AT THE END OF THE PILOT IN DECEMBER, 2011, THE 18 PRIMARY CARE PRACTICES INVOLVED IN THE PILOT PROGRAM ACHIEVED THE HIGHEST RECOGNITION BY THE NATIONAL COMMITTEE FOR QUALITY ASSURANCE (NCQA). IN 2012, INDEPENDENT HEALTH EVOLVED ITS SUCCESSFUL PATIENT-CENTERED MEDICAL HOME (PCMH) CARE MODEL FOR PRIMARY CARE INTO A MORE COMPREHENSIVE PROGRAM CALLED THE PRIMARY CONNECTION, WHICH OFFICIALLY BEGAN JULY 1, 2012. AN INNOVATIVE, PHYSICIAN-LED INITIATIVE, THE PRIMARY CONNECTION TAKES A COORDINATED APPROACH TO ENHANCE QUALITY, ACCESS AND AFFORDABILITY. USING PCMH PRINCIPLES AS THE FOUNDATION, THIS INNOVATIVE ALLIANCE PROMOTES BETTER CARE COORDINATION AND A COLLABORATIVE, SHARED RESPONSIBILITY AMONG PRIMARY CARE AND SPECIALTY PHYSICIANS, AS WELL AS HOSPITALS, HEALTH PLANS, MEMBERS AND OTHER KEY STAKEHOLDERS TO ACHIEVE THE GOALS OF THE QUADRUPLE AIM: BETTER HEALTH, BETTER CARE, LOWER COSTS AND PROVIDER VITALITY. HEALTH CARE REFORM INITIATIVES ENCOURAGE THIS TYPE OF CARE DELIVERY, AND INDEPENDENT HEALTH AND THESE PROGRESSIVE PRIMARY CARE PHYSICIAN PRACTICES HAVE BEEN AT THE FOREFRONT OF WHAT THE NATION WILL BE DOING. THE PRIMARY CONNECTION FOSTERS INTERDEPENDENCY AND INTENSE COLLABORATION AMONG THE PRACTICES TO CREATE AND IMPLEMENT SPECIFIC CARE COORDINATION PROGRAMS, SUCH AS HOSPITAL ALTERNATIVE PROGRAMS AND CARE TRANSITION PROGRAMS FROM HOSPITAL TO HOME. OTHER RESOURCES INCLUDE PHARMACISTS PROVIDING MEDICATION THERAPY MANAGEMENT, EMBEDDED BEHAVIORAL COUNSELORS WITHIN PRACTICES, AND CARE COORDINATION CONTRACTS BETWEEN PRIMARY AND SPECIALTY CARE PHYSICIANS. THE PRIMARY CONNECTION PRACTICES' CLINICAL AND OPERATIONAL PERFORMANCES ARE TRACKED FOR QUALITY IMPROVEMENT AND ADHERENCE TO THE TENETS OF THE QUADRUPLE AIM. THESE PRACTICES ARE REIMBURSED UNDER AN INNOVATIVE HYBRID REIMBURSEMENT METHODOLOGY THAT RETAINS ELEMENTS OF FEE-FOR-SERVICE PAYMENT, BUT INCLUDES A RISK-ADJUSTED POPULATION-BASED CARE COORDINATION FEE AND A SHARED SAVINGS COMPONENT. THE HYBRID PAYMENT SYSTEM ALLOWS PRIMARY CARE PRACTICES TO MORE FULLY UTILIZE ANCILLARY NURSING AND MID-LEVEL STAFF, RECOGNIZES THE PRACTICES' EFFORTS TO IMPLEMENT E-COMMUNICATION STRATEGIES, AND REWARDS EFFORTS TO WORK COOPERATIVELY AND EFFECTIVELY WITH HOSPITALS AND SPECIALTY PHYSICIANS TO REDUCE MEDICALLY UNNECESSARY SERVICES AND POTENTIALLY AVOIDABLE ADMISSIONS. THE PRIMARY CONNECTION INITIALLY INVOLVED 21 PRACTICES, THEIR 140 PHYSICIANS AND MORE THAN 54,000 PATIENTS, AND HAS SINCE GROWN TO 32 PRACTICES AND 189 PHYSICIANS, IMPACTING 121,000 INDEPENDENT HEALTH MEMBERS. THIS PROGRESSIVE ALLIANCE HAS LED TO IMPROVED CARE COORDINATION, AND REDUCING THE REDUNDANCIES AND INEFFICIENT CARE THAT CAUSE HEALTH CARE COSTS TO INCREASE UNNECESSARILY. A SAMPLE OF RESULTS FOLLOWS: - FROM 2013 TO 2017, THE PRIMARY CONNECTION PHYSICIANS DECREASED UNNECESSARY REFERRALS TO SPECIALIST PHYSICIANS BY 19 PERCENT. - THEY ALSO INCREASED REFERRALS TO HIGH-PERFORMING SPECIALISTS BY 7 PERCENT DURING THAT TIME. - THE PRIMARY CONNECTION PRACTICES DECREASED PRESCRIPTIONS TO COSTLY BRAND-NAME MEDICATIONS BY 23 PERCENT. - THE PRIMARY CONNECTION REDUCED THE AMOUNT OF POTENTIALLY PREVENTABLE HOSPITAL ADMISSIONS BY 17 PERCENT AND READMISSION RATES BY 25 PERCENT, BY TREATING PATIENTS IN MORE APPROPRIATE CARE SETTINGS AT LOWER COSTS. - PRIMARY CONNECTION PATIENTS RECEIVED 10,000 MORE PREVENTIVE AND WELLNESS SERVICES THAN OTHER MEMBERS IN JUST ONE YEAR. OTHER MEMBERSHIP SERVICES INCLUDE PREVENTIVE CARE WITH ACTIVE PARTICIPATION BY COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS IN INITIATIVES SUCH AS THE P2 COLLABORATIVE OF WESTERN NEW YORK (P2), A NOT-FOR-PROFIT DEDICATED TO IMPROVING THE HEALTH OF PEOPLE IN WESTERN NEW YORK. IT DEPENDS ON UNPRECEDENTED COLLABORATION AMONG KEY STAKEHOLDERS AND THE SHARING OF CLINICAL INFORMATION, AS WELL AS THE ADOPTION OF HEALTH INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY AND ELECTRONIC MEDICAL RECORDS, THROUGH ORGANIZATIONS SUCH AS HEALTH-E-LINK. THE IHA HEALTH COACH PROGRAM OFFERS A BROAD RANGE OF SERVICES, INCLUDING EDUCATION AND CARE COORDINATION, TO IMPROVE THE HEALTH OF IHA MEMBERS AND EMPLOYEES. HEALTH COACHES ARE LICENSED REGISTERED NURSES, DIETITIANS, RESPIRATORY THERAPISTS, SOCIAL WORKERS, AND OTHER CERTIFIED HEALTH PROFESSIONALS WHO ENCOURAGE SELF-MANAGEMENT AND EDUCATE MEMBERS ON LIVING A HEALTHY LIFE. THEY PROVIDE PERSONALIZED SERVICES TO HELP MEMBERS MAKE LASTING CHANGES TO ACHIEVE BETTER HEALTH AND WELL-BEING. EXAMPLES OF THEIR SUPPORT INCLUDE HELPING DEVELOP A DIET PLAN TO ASSIST WITH WEIGHT LOSS, ASSISTANCE WITH A SPECIFIC MEDICAL CONDITION OR COMPILING A LIST OF QUESTIONS FOR THE MEMBER TO ASK HIS/HER DOCTOR. OUR HEALTH COACHES AND DISEASE MANAGERS FREQUENTLY ENGAGE IN ON-SITE WORKPLACE WELLNESS ACTIVITIES, SUCH AS EMPLOYEE HEALTH FAIRS. THEY ALSO REGULARLY REACH OUT TO SUPPORT MEMBERS IDENTIFIED AS HAVING A CHRONIC DISEASE OR CARE OPPORTUNITY. IHA IS COMMITTED TO IMPROVING THE QUALITY, ACCESS AND AFFORDABILITY OF HEALTH CARE THROUGH MANY COMMUNITY OUTREACH PROGRAMS. INDEPENDENT HEALTH HAS A TEAM OF FOUR COMMUNITY HEALTH OUTREACH WORKERS (CHOWS) BASED IN THE COMMUNITY, WHO MAKE HOME VISITS TO MEDISOURCE MEMBERS IN NEED TO BUILD RELATIONSHIPS IN TARGETED NEIGHBORHOODS, TO PROMOTE HEALTH AND WELLNESS BEHAVIORS AND BELIEFS. CHOWS SPECIFICALLY WORK WITH MEMBERS WHO INAPPROPRIATELY UTILIZE SERVICES. THEY FOCUS ON GETTING MEMBERS IN NEED OF CARE TO A VISIT, SCHEDULING APPOINTMENTS, COORDINATING TRANSPORTATION AND BRIDGING LANGUAGE BARRIERS. THESE DEDICATED WORKERS, WHO ARE ALL CERTIFIED DIABETES AND CHRONIC DISEASE PEER EDUCATORS, PROVIDE CARE COORDINATION SERVICES TO MEMBERS IN NEED OF PREVENTIVE SERVICES, SCREENINGS OR A PRIMARY CARE PROVIDER. CHOWS COLLABORATE WITH IHA'S CASE MANAGEMENT DEPARTMENT TO BRING MEMBERS HOPE AND AN UNDERSTANDING OF COMPLEX ISSUES. |
| SOME OF THE SERVICES THE CHOWS PROVIDE INCLUDE: | - TEACHING DIABETES AND CHRONIC DISEASE SELF-MANAGEMENT GROUP CLASSES IN COMMUNITY CENTERS; - ONE-ON-ONE DIABETES EDUCATION TO MEMBERS WHO ARE UNABLE TO LEAVE THEIR HOMES; - HELP RUN A GRANT-FUNDED PROGRAM CALLED "BABY AND ME, TOBACCO FREE," A SMOKING CESSATION PROGRAM FOR PREGNANT WOMEN; - PROVIDING NEW MEMBER ORIENTATION TO HELP MEMBERS UNDERSTAND HOW TO USE THEIR BENEFITS, ALIGN THEM WITH A PRIMARY CARE PHYSICIAN, CLOSE GAPS IN CARE, AND APPROPRIATE EMERGENCY ROOM USE. IHA'S MEDICARE FAMILY CHOICE PLAN IS A MEDICARE ADVANTAGE SPECIAL NEEDS PLAN OFFERED IN NURSING FACILITIES IN WESTERN NEW YORK. FAMILY CHOICE OF NEW YORK IS A CARE MANAGEMENT COMPANY THAT WORKS IN PARTNERSHIP WITH AREA NURSING HOMES, PHYSICIANS AND HOSPITALS TO BRING ADDITIONAL CARE - INCLUDING ENHANCED HEALTH CARE AND SOCIAL SERVICES - TO THE PATIENTS WHO NEED SPECIALIZED MEDICAL AND NURSE MANAGEMENT. THE PROGRAM ACCOMPLISHES THIS BY ASSIGNING A NURSE PRACTITIONER WHO IS SPECIALLY TRAINED IN GERIATRICS TO NURSING HOME RESIDENTS. THE GOAL IS TO IMPROVE NOT ONLY THE MEMBER'S QUALITY OF CARE, BUT ALSO THEIR QUALITY OF LIFE. FAMILY CHOICE'S SPECIALLY TRAINED NURSE PRACTITIONERS AND PHYSICIAN ASSISTANTS ARE ON CALL 24 HOURS A DAY, SEVEN DAYS A WEEK TO PROVIDE CARE AND SUPPORT AS NEEDED. THEY WORK IN COLLABORATION WITH THE MEMBER'S PHYSICIANS AND THE NURSING FACILITY'S STAFF TO IDENTIFY POTENTIAL PROBLEMS BEFORE THEY BECOME SERIOUS, AND MINIMIZE UNNECESSARY AND DISRUPTIVE EMERGENCY ROOM VISITS AND HOSPITAL STAYS WHENEVER IT'S SAFE AND APPROPRIATE. PART OF THE AFFORDABLE CARE ACT AND MEDICAID REFORM EFFORTS, HEALTH HOMES ARE COMMUNITY NETWORKS OF PROVIDERS DESIGNATED BY THE STATE TO COORDINATE CARE AND SOCIAL NEEDS FOR MEDICAID MEMBERS WITH CHRONIC CONDITIONS, SUCH AS HIV/AIDS, SERIOUS MENTAL ILLNESS OR MULTIPLE CHRONIC HEALTH PROBLEMS. IHA ASSIGNS MEMBERS TO HEALTH HOMES AND SUPPORTS THESE NETWORKS ADMINISTRATIVELY, BILLING FOR SERVICES RENDERED AND REIMBURSING THEM. FOR FRAIL ELDERLY MEMBERS AND THEIR CAREGIVERS, THE CAREPARTNERS PROGRAM IS AVAILABLE AT NO ADDITIONAL COST. THIS HOME-BASED PROGRAM FACILITATES THE RIGHT CARE AND LIVING ENVIRONMENT AND IS DESIGNED TO PREVENT EMERGENCY ROOM VISITS AND HOSPITALIZATIONS. THROUGH HOME VISITS AND PHONE CALLS, REGISTERED NURSES AND SOCIAL WORKERS HELP COORDINATE CARE AND OFFER PSYCHO-SOCIAL SUPPORT, INCLUDING LINKING MEMBERS AND CAREGIVERS TO COMMUNITY AND FINANCIAL RESOURCES, ASSESSING THE SAFETY OF THE MEMBER AND HELPING COMPLETE ADVANCE DIRECTIVES IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE MEMBER'S WISHES. MEMBERS ALSO HAVE 24-HOUR ACCESS TO A REGISTERED NURSE THROUGH THIS PROGRAM. IHA OFFERS AN ADDITIONAL LEVEL OF SUPPORT AT NO COST TO MEMBERS FACING SERIOUS ILLNESS AND THEIR FAMILIES THROUGH OUR PALLIATIVE CARE PROGRAM. THE PALLIATIVE CARE TEAM, WHICH INCLUDES A REGISTERED NURSE, SOCIAL WORKER AND MEDICAL DIRECTOR, PARTNERS WITH THE MEMBER'S PHYSICIAN TO COORDINATE CARE AND REDUCE AVOIDABLE HOSPITAL VISITS AND ADMISSIONS. THE PALLIATIVE CARE PROFESSIONALS HAVE OPEN AND SUPPORTIVE DISCUSSIONS ABOUT TREATMENT CHOICES WITH THE MEMBER AND PROVIDE THE SAME OUTREACH AND SERVICES AS CAREPARTNERS WITH THE GOAL OF HELPING MEMBERS LIVE MORE COMFORTABLY BY MANAGING SYMPTOMS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THEIR HEALTH CARE WISHES TO PROVIDE A BETTER QUALITY OF LIFE. IN ADDITION, IHA DEVELOPS AND CONDUCTS EXTENSIVE COMMUNITY WELLNESS AND BENEFIT INITIATIVES THAT HELP MEMBERS LEAD HEALTHIER LIVES AND HELP EMPLOYERS CONTROL HEALTH CARE COSTS. INCLUDED AMONG THESE INITIATIVES ARE PREVIOUS COMMUNITY WELLNESS AWARENESS PROGRAMS: PRACTICE EXCELLENCE, THE NATIONALLY RECOGNIZED PAY FOR PERFORMANCE PROGRAM, AND THE IDEALIZED DESIGN OF CLINICAL OFFICE PRACTICE, A MULTI-FACETED APPROACH TO RE-DESIGN PHYSICIAN OFFICES TO BE MORE PATIENT-CENTRIC. IHA ALSO CONTRACTED WITH THE NEW YORK STATE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH IN A HEALTH CARE REFORM ACT (HCRA) PAY FOR PERFORMANCE DEMONSTRATION PROJECT (P4P) TO SUPPORT REGIONAL EFFORTS TO IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF HEALTH CARE, BY DEVELOPING A STANDARDIZED PHYSICIAN PERFORMANCE MEASUREMENT AND REPORTING SYSTEM. THIS GRANT EXPIRED DECEMBER 31, 2009; HOWEVER AT THE END OF THIS GRANT PERIOD THE THREE REGIONAL HEALTH PLANS ENDORSED A CONTINUATION STRATEGY FOR THE QUALITY MEASURES COLLABORATIVE PROGRAM. THE PLANS CONTINUE TO PROVIDE REGULAR DATA EXTRACTS TO P2 COLLABORATIVE'S DESIGNATED DATA MANAGEMENT VENDOR, VIPS, WHO PERFORMS DATA AGGREGATION AND ANALYSIS. THE P2 COLLABORATIVE THEN REPORTS THIS PERFORMANCE DATA TO PROVIDERS VIA A SECURE INTERNET-BASED PORTAL.
