Legislation

• DCH is lead agency for health care planning, purchasing and oversight

• DCH Program Areas: – Medicaid / PeachCare for Kids – State Health Benefit Plan (SHBP) – Health Care Facility Regulation – Health IT


Legislation

• The EED Budget item is in the amended budget for FY 2013• DCH has said they are willing to recognize that the $5.5M

savings they are required to achieve in FY 2013 has already been accomplished due to the work done by the HEN and others

• Starting April 1, 2013 – they will require providers to begin noting on claims the gestational age as well as modifiers describing whether an early delivery was medically necessary or not


Legislation

• DCH has said they are open to hearing from providers about the medical necessity criteria

• DCH has said they will not instruct the CMOs as to which criteria the CMOs should use

• DCH would then do a hard stop on reimbursement on July 1, 2013

• So providers will effectively have a 90 day trial period before they start seeing payment penalties


Getting the Word Out

• What do we need to do?– Physician Engagement and buy-in– Engage Stakeholders– Community


Getting the Word Out: Physician Engagement and Buy-in

• From Dr. Peter Grubb (Principal Investigator and Medical Director for TIPQC):– We get “them” to do what “we” want them to do. – Approach by asking who is the “we”? This is decision- maker

engagements – Engaging all of the decision makers that play a role in the system

• Conversations need to be had at a peer-to-peer level • Challenges:

– Underestimate system contributors to high EED rates – EED solutions may not fit other OB events


Getting the Word Out: Engaging Stakeholders

• Engage Stakeholders through:– evidence-basis and increasing awareness,– a data-driven perspective, – address barriers, – and then identify facilitators

• Get the community engaged and think about why they are delivering early

• Address Barriers: Working with centers as a group to address fears/barriers.

• Patient Demand: Patient is a consumer and a customer


Getting the Word Out: Community

• Promote websites for mothers such as: March of Dimes or Department of Public Health

• CineMama: Developed by March of Dimes. A woman can track her pregnancy thru 39 weeks.



• Text4Baby.org:– Must sign-up for this – Get text updates and information about pregnancy– Text from CDC website:

• It’s a free cellphone text messaging service for pregnant women and new moms.
