PROVIDES MORE THAN 119,000 LOWER INCOME AND/OR DISABLED RESIDENTS IN 20 MICHIGAN COUNTIES (UP FROM 17 COUNTIES IN THE PRIOR YEAR) WITH ACCESS TO QUALITY AND AFFORDABLE HEALTH CARE SERVICES. IT PROMOTES AND INCENTIVIZES OPEN ACCESS TO PROVIDERS. PRIORITY HEALTH CHOICE, INC. HAS MAINTAINED ITS "EXCELLENT" ACCREDITATION STATUS FROM THE NATIONAL COMMITTEE FOR QUALITY ASSURANCE (NCQA) EVERY YEAR SINCE 1998 AND CONTINUES WITH ABOVE AVERAGE STATUS IN 2016. THIS RANKING IS THE RESULT OF EXCELLENT CLINICAL PERFORMANCE AND MEMBER SATISFACTION SCORES. PRIORITY HEALTH CHOICE, INC. TOPS THE NATION'S BENCHMARK IN THE AREAS OF CHILDHOOD IMMUNIZATIONS, DIABETES CARE AND THE MANAGEMENT OF ASTHMA. IN ADDITION TO THIS RECOGNITION FROM NCQA, THE 2016 MEDICAID HEALTH PLAN CONSUMER GUIDE IDENTIFIES PRIORITY HEALTH CHOICE, INC. AS THE ONLY MEDICAID PLAN IN THE STATE OF MICHIGAN TO RECEIVE THE HIGHEST RANKING IN ALL FIVE CATEGORIES. CHILDREN'S SPECIAL HEALTH CARE SERVICES (CSHCS) IS A SPECIALTY PROGRAM OFFERED BY THE STATE OF MICHIGAN TO PROVIDE CARE FOR CHILDREN AND SOME ADULTS WITH CHRONIC HEALTH CONDITIONS. IN ADDITION, THE CSHCS PROGRAM OFFERS SUPPORT TO THE FAMILIES AND CAREGIVERS OF THE MEMBER. CSHCS PROGRAM ELIGIBILITY IS BASED ON MORE THAN 2,700 MEDICAL DIAGNOSES. AS OF OCTOBER 1, 2012, THE MAJORITY OF THE CSHCS POPULATION TRANSITIONED INTO A MEDICAID HEALTH PLAN. IN RESPONSE TO THIS TRANSITION, PRIORITY HEALTH CHOICE, INC. IMPLEMENTED A SPECIALTY CARE MANAGEMENT PROGRAM FOR THIS UNIQUE POPULATION. A DEDICATED CARE MANAGEMENT TEAM ENSURES CSHCS MEMBERS ARE ESTABLISHED WITH A PRIMARY CARE MEDICAL HOME WHILE ALSO PROVIDING CARE COORDINATION BETWEEN THEIR PRIMARY CARE / SPECIALTY CARE PROVIDERS AND ANY ANCILLARY PROVIDERS. THIS TEAM INCLUDES CARE MANAGERS, COMMUNITY HEALTH WORKERS, FIELD SERVICE REPRESENTATIVES, AND OTHER KEY PARTNERS, INCLUDING COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENTS, EARLY ON, EARLY HEAD START, THE INTERMEDIATE SCHOOL DISTRICTS, SPECIALTY PROVIDERS, AND MEDICAL SUPPLIERS. THE CARE MANAGEMENT TEAM ALSO FACILITATES ACCESS FOR FAMILIES TO THE FAMILY CENTER FOR CHILDREN AND YOUTH WITH SPECIAL HEALTH CARE NEEDS, AND THE CHILDREN'S SPECIAL NEEDS FUNDS IN LANSING. AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2016, PRIORITY HEALTH CHOICE, INC. HAS APPROXIMATELY 1,600 MEMBERS ENROLLED IN THE CSHCS PROGRAM, UP FROM APPROXIMATELY 1,500 MEMBERS IN THE PRIOR YEAR. IN 2013, THE MICHIGAN ASSOCIATION OF HEALTH PLANS (MAHP) AWARDED PRIORITY HEALTH CHOICE, INC. WITH A PINNACLE AWARD FOR THE TRANSITION OF CSHCS MEMBERS INTO A MEDICAID MANAGED HEALTH PLAN. THE TRANSITION OF THIS POPULATION BEGAN WITH AN OUTREACH CALL BY FIELD SERVICE REPRESENTATIVES, WHO REVIEWED THE HEALTH PLAN BENEFITS WITH FAMILIES. THESE BENEFITS INCLUDE TRANSPORTATION, PRIMARY CARE ASSIGNMENT, USE OF URGENT CARE AND EMERGENCY ROOM SERVICES, REFERRAL PROCESS, PHARMACY, THE BEHAVIORAL HEALTH BENEFIT, AND THE ROLE OF THE LOCAL HEALTH DEPARTMENT. IN ADDITION, CARE MANAGEMENT SERVICES WERE OFFERED, WHICH THE MAJORITY OF THE CSHCS MEMBERS UTILIZED. A CARE MANAGER CONTACTED EACH MEMBER/FAMILY, COMPLETED A COMPREHENSIVE ASSESSMENT TO IDENTIFY MEMBER NEEDS, AND DEVELOPED A CARE PLAN WITH MEMBER CENTRIC GOALS. IN ADDITION, APPROPRIATE EDUCATION WAS PROVIDED REGARDING THE CURRENT DISEASE PROCESS, PREVENTATIVE HEALTH, CHRONIC DISEASE MANAGEMENT, AND THE IMPORTANCE OF THE MEDICAL HOME. THE TEAM WORKS COLLABORATIVELY TO ENSURE ALL NEEDS ARE IDENTIFIED AND ADDRESSED UTILIZING IN NETWORK/IN STATE PROVIDERS WHENEVER POSSIBLE. THIS PROCESS CONTINUES TODAY WITH ALL NEWLY ENROLLED CSHCS MEMBERS. ON SEPTEMBER 16, 2013, THE MICHIGAN GOVERNOR SIGNED INTO LAW MICHIGAN PUBLIC ACT 107 OF 2013, WHICH DIRECTED THE CREATION OF THE HEALTHY MICHIGAN PLAN. THE HEALTHY MICHIGAN PLAN RECEIVED APPROVAL FROM THE CENTERS FOR MEDICARE & MEDICAID SERVICES ON DECEMBER 30, 2013. THE STATE OF MICHIGAN BEGAN TO MAKE HEALTH CARE BENEFITS AVAILABLE THROUGH THE HEALTHY MICHIGAN PLAN EFFECTIVE APRIL 1, 2014. THE HEALTHY MICHIGAN PLAN ENCOURAGES HEALTHY BEHAVIORS AND PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY, HELPS LOW-INCOME MICHIGAN RESIDENT'S ACCESS AFFORDABLE HEALTH COVERAGE, AND REDUCES UNCOMPENSATED CARE THAT SHIFTS COSTS ONTO BUSINESSES AND TAXPAYERS. AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2016, PRIORITY HEALTH CHOICE, INC. HAD NEARLY 34,000 MEMBERS ENROLLED IN THE HEALTHY MICHIGAN PLAN. IN 2016, THE MAHP AWARDED PRIORITY HEALTH CHOICE, INC. WITH A PINNACLE AWARD RECOGNIZING THE INNOVATIVE MEDNOW APPROACH. PRIORITY HEALTH CHOICE, INC. PARTNERED WITH MEDNOW TO VIRTUALLY CONNECT MEDICAID RECIPIENTS AND PROVIDERS. MEDNOW PROVIDES MEDICAID RECIPIENTS WITH ACCESS TO A COMPUTER IN-HOME, REAL-TIME ACCESS TO PRIMARY CARE PROVIDERS FOR NON-LIFE-THREATENING CONDITIONS, INCLUDING VIDEO VISITS FOR THOSE WITH A WEBCAM AND A STRONG INTERNET CONNECTION. IT HAS PROVIDED EFFECTIVE HEALTH CARE SERVICES TO BENEFICIARIES AT MEASURABLE COST SAVINGS. THE VIDEO-ENABLED VIRTUAL VISITS USE DATA ANALYTICS TO MEASURE UTILIZATION AND SATISFACTION. IN 2016, PRIORITY HEALTH CHOICE, INC. HAD 570 MEDNOW ENCOUNTERS WITH THE MEDICAID POPULATION. PRIORITY HEALTH CHOICE, INC. PARTNERED WITH CARECALL TO MAKE OUTREACH CALLS TO EACH HEALTHY MICHIGAN MEMBER. DURING THAT CALL, MEMBERS ARE PROVIDED WITH BENEFIT EDUCATION AS WELL AS ASSISTANCE IN MAKING THEIR INITIAL PRIMARY CARE PROVIDER ("PCP") APPOINTMENT. DURING THAT INITIAL PCP APPOINTMENT, THE MEMBER COMPLETES A HEALTH RISK ASSESSMENT, WHICH IDENTIFIES CURRENT BEHAVIORS, A MEMBER'S READINESS TO CHANGE, KEY HEALTH METRICS, AND THE PCP ATTESTATION. ONCE COMPLETED, THE HEALTH RISK ASSESSMENT IS SENT TO PRIORITY HEALTH CHOICE, INC. WHERE THE ASSESSMENT IS REVIEWED FOR COMPLETENESS AND TRANSMITTED TO THE STATE OF MICHIGAN. SPECIFIC HEALTH INFORMATION IS SENT VIA U.S. MAIL TO THE MEMBER DEPENDING ON WHICH GOAL(S) THE MEMBER CHOOSES TO WORK ON. IN PURSUIT OF THE GOAL THAT 81% OF CONTINUOUSLY ENROLLED MEDICAID MEMBERS WILL HAVE AT LEAST ONE LEAD SCREENING TEST BY THEIR SECOND BIRTHDAY, PRIORITY HEALTH REDESIGNED THE MEDICAID LEAD SCREENING PROGRAM. AS SUCH, PRIORITY HEALTH DEVELOPED A PROGRESSIVE THREE-TOUCH MEMBER OUTREACH REMINDER/INCENTIVE, PURCHASED LAB EQUIPMENT ON BEHALF OF PROVIDER OFFICES AND PROVIDED EDUCATION TO BOTH MEMBERS AND PROVIDERS AROUND THE IMPORTANCE OF LEAD SCREENING. BASED ON 2016 DATA, THE PRIORITY HEALTH HEALTH CARE EFFECTIVENESS DATA AND INFORMATION SET (HEDIS) RATE FOR LEAD SCREENING ROSE FROM 71% (2011) TO 86%, SURPASSING THE GOAL OF THE STATE STANDARD. THE COMMUNITY HEALTH CARE ACCESS PROGRAM (CHAP), FORMERLY KNOWN AS CHILDREN'S HEALTH CARE ACCESS PROGRAM, IS A COMMUNITY COLLABORATIVE THAT WAS INITIATED IN 2008 AND HAS SINCE EXPANDED TO SERVICE ADULT ENROLLEES. THE FOCUS OF THE COLLABORATIVE FOR THE FIRST SEVERAL YEARS WAS TO INCREASE ACCESS AND QUALITY HEALTH CARE TO MEDICAID PEDIATRIC MEMBERS. THE PRIMARY GOAL OF THE CHAP PROGRAM NOW IS TO IMPROVE HEALTH OUTCOMES AMONG CHILDREN ON MEDICAID WHILE BETTER UTILIZING EXISTING RESOURCES AND DECREASING COSTS. THIS PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN PRIORITY HEALTH CHOICE, INC., HELEN DEVOS CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL, CHERRY STREET HEALTH SERVICES, PRIVATE PEDIATRIC PRACTICES, NUMEROUS HUMAN SERVICE AGENCIES, AND PRIVATE FOUNDATIONS COVERS 15,000 CHILDREN IN KENT COUNTY. CHAP CONTRACTED WITH PCPS, PROVIDING CARE COORDINATION AND ASSISTANCE WITH KEY HEDIS METRICS. PCPS WERE REIMBURSED AT A HIGHER RATE IN EXCHANGE FOR THEIR WILLINGNESS TO OPEN UP ACCESS, ESPECIALLY SAME DAY ACCESS TO MEMBERS. CHAP PROVIDED SAME DAY TRANSPORTATION TO URGENT PCP APPOINTMENTS AS NEEDED. IN ADDITION, CHAP PROVIDED MEMBER/FAMILY EDUCATION REGARDING APPROPRIATE EMERGENCY ROOM AND URGENT CARE UTILIZATION. IN 2014, CHAP DEVELOPED ITS OWN IDENTITY AS HEALTH NET OF WEST MICHIGAN. AT THE SAME TIME, THE FOCUS OF INTERVENTION EXPANDED TO ADULTS AS WELL AS CHILDREN. HEALTH NET PARTNERED WITH ADULT PRIMARY CARE PRACTICES TO WORK WITH ADULT MEMBERS REGARDING EMERGENCY ROOM AND URGENT CARE USE, WHILE ALSO PROVIDING EDUCATION REGARDING SPECIFIC MEMBER INPATIENT UTILIZATION. IN ADDITION, HEALTH NET HAS PARTNERED WITH OB-GYN RESIDENCY CLINICS TO FACILITATE THE MATERNAL INFANT HEALTH PROGRAM (MIHP) ENROLLMENT FOR PREGNANT WOMEN. HEALTH NET REPORTS A 53% RETURN ON INVESTMENT; FOR EVERY $1 INVESTED IN CHAP SERVICES, $1.53 WAS SAVED IN HEALTH COSTS. THE CONSUMER ASSESSMENT OF HEALTH CARE PROVIDERS AND SYSTEMS (CAHPS) CONDUCTS AN ANNUAL SURVEY THAT ASKS CONSUMERS AND PATIENTS TO REPORT ON AND EVALUATE THEIR EXPERIENCES WITH HEALTH CARE . IN 2016, PRIORITY HEALTH CHOICE, INC. SCORED SIGNIFICANTLY HIGHER THAN THE MDHHS MEDICAID MANAGED CARE PROGRAM AVERAGE.Desc
