Optimizing Risk Adjustment, Risk Scoring and Stars
MEDICARE ADVANTAGE
CMS Risk Adjustment
![Page 4: PCP Focus Meeting Fall 2013](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051609/547b1806b379593f2b8b4cc6/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Why Care About Risk Adjustment?
• Compliance with CMS submission requirements
• Improve Care Management services
• Receive proper reimbursement from CMS to keep
premiums as low as possible and improve the
health of the Michigan economy
• The projection of CMS funding directly impacts
Medicare Advantage premiums
• A 1 percent improvement in risk scores can lower
member premiums by roughly 10 percent

Risk Adjustment: Basic Demographics
Risk score uses five demographics:
• Age (member is 72 years old)
• Gender (member is female)
• Medicaid (member does or does not have an active Medicaid status)
• Disability (member is or is not classified by CMS as disabled)
• Original reason for Medicare status (ESRD?)

CMS Risk Burden
Hierarchical condition category (CMS – HCC) model
• Begins with classification of 14,000 ICD-9CM diagnosis codes
• Maps each ICD-9 to one of 805 diagnostic groups (DXGs)
• DXGs aggregated into 189 Condition Categories (CC)
6
![Page 7: PCP Focus Meeting Fall 2013](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051609/547b1806b379593f2b8b4cc6/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
CMS Risk Burden
Hierarchical condition category (CMS – HCC) model
• Each Chronic Condition describes broader set of similar diseases
• CMS uses 79 of 189 HCCs to best predict Medical expenditures
• CMS imposes hierarchies among related Condition Categories (person is coded for only the most severe manifestation among related diseases)
7
![Page 8: PCP Focus Meeting Fall 2013](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051609/547b1806b379593f2b8b4cc6/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Risk Adjustment Medical Record Documentation
• Providers must have medical record documentation to support chronic conditions
• Each diagnosis must conform to the ICD-9 coding guidelines
• The medical chart must document that the condition was: − Managed − Evaluated − Assessed − Treated
8
![Page 9: PCP Focus Meeting Fall 2013](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051609/547b1806b379593f2b8b4cc6/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Risk Adjustment Medical Record Documentation
• The medical chart must document that the condition was − Managed − Evaluated − Assessed − Treated
• Only one is necessary
• The M.E.A.T. documentation on actively treated conditions must be on the date of service. Document other chronic conditions present at least annually

CMS Risk Adjustment Physician Records
The diagnosis code: result of a face-to-face visit with a
physician, nurse practitioner or physician assistant
from an inpatient, outpatient or professional provider
encounter
Medical records have to support a currently treated
or addressed condition and be signed, credentialed
and dated by the appropriate provider
Although claims can be used as a proxy to submit a
diagnosis code to CMS for risk adjustment purposes,
the medical record is the only source of truth

Advance Care : Starting the Conversation
![Page 30: PCP Focus Meeting Fall 2013](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051609/547b1806b379593f2b8b4cc6/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Learning objectives
Define advance care planning and explain its
importance
Describe the steps of the advance care planning
process
Describe the role of patient, proxy, clinician, and
others
Identify pitfalls and limitations in advance care
planning
![Page 31: PCP Focus Meeting Fall 2013](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051609/547b1806b379593f2b8b4cc6/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
What is advance care planning?
A communication process rather than a legal
process
A way of planning for future medical care
A mechanism for ensuring that care received
matches patient’s values and goals
![Page 32: PCP Focus Meeting Fall 2013](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051609/547b1806b379593f2b8b4cc6/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Why is advance care planning important?
Some patients have an unpredictable course of
illness
Builds trust
Helps to avoid confusion and conflict
Permits peace of mind
![Page 33: PCP Focus Meeting Fall 2013](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051609/547b1806b379593f2b8b4cc6/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Concepts underlying advance care planning
Advance directive
Health care agent or proxy
Do not resuscitate (DNR) orders
Patient Self Determination Act
![Page 34: PCP Focus Meeting Fall 2013](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051609/547b1806b379593f2b8b4cc6/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
5 steps for successful advance care planning
1. Introduce the topic
2. Structure the discussion
3. Document patient preferences
4. Review and update when clinical course changes
5. Apply directives when need arises
The EPEC Project, 1999, www.epec.net
![Page 35: PCP Focus Meeting Fall 2013](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051609/547b1806b379593f2b8b4cc6/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Step 1: Introduce the topic
Allow adequate time and privacy
Ask what the patient knows: “Have you thought
about having a living will?”
Explain the process: “It’s helpful for us to talk
about it before making any decisions.”
Determine comfort level: “Do you feel ready to
talk more about this today?”
![Page 36: PCP Focus Meeting Fall 2013](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051609/547b1806b379593f2b8b4cc6/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Step 2: Structure the discussion (Five Wishes)
Who do you want to make health care decisions
for you when you can't make them [proxy]?
What kind of medical treatment do you want or
don't want?
How comfortable do you want to be?
How do you want people to treat you?
What do you want your loved ones to know?

Use an advance care planning document
A number are available:
• Five Wishes
• Living Wills
Easy to use
Reduces chance for omissions
Patients, proxy, family can take home
![Page 38: PCP Focus Meeting Fall 2013](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051609/547b1806b379593f2b8b4cc6/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Step 3: Document patient preferences
Review advance directive
Sign the documentation
Put it in the patient’s chart or medical record
Encourage patient to have copies to provide to
different medical settings
• Proxy may assist with this
![Page 39: PCP Focus Meeting Fall 2013](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051609/547b1806b379593f2b8b4cc6/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Step 4: Review, update
Use clinical events as triggers to review
documents
As disease progresses, allow for evolution in
patient understanding and preferences
Discuss and document changes
![Page 40: PCP Focus Meeting Fall 2013](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051609/547b1806b379593f2b8b4cc6/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Step 5: Apply directives when indicated
Review the advance directive
Consult with the proxy
Use ethics committee for disagreements
Carry out the treatment plan
![Page 41: PCP Focus Meeting Fall 2013](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051609/547b1806b379593f2b8b4cc6/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Pearls
Advance care planning can reduce family burden
Family members may not be the best proxies
Focus on what kind of care is desired rather than
what should be withdrawn
![Page 42: PCP Focus Meeting Fall 2013](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051609/547b1806b379593f2b8b4cc6/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Summary
Advance care planning is a fundamental palliative
care skill
Advance care planning reduces family burden at
end-of-life
The identification of the proxy is an important goal
The discussion is more important than the
documents
![Page 43: PCP Focus Meeting Fall 2013](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051609/547b1806b379593f2b8b4cc6/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
POLST
It’s a Conversation
43
![Page 44: PCP Focus Meeting Fall 2013](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051609/547b1806b379593f2b8b4cc6/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Learning Objectives
Define POLST and why it is important
Describe the POLST form
How do illustrate how to complete a POLST
![Page 45: PCP Focus Meeting Fall 2013](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051609/547b1806b379593f2b8b4cc6/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Why POLST?
Patient wishes often are not known
– The Advance Healthcare Directive (AHCD) may not be accessible
– Wishes may not be clearly defined in AHCD
Allows healthcare professionals to know and
honor your wishes for care.
![Page 46: PCP Focus Meeting Fall 2013](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051609/547b1806b379593f2b8b4cc6/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
POLST Conversations
Focus is on the conversation
It is important to talk about and document your
wishes before you become seriously ill
![Page 47: PCP Focus Meeting Fall 2013](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051609/547b1806b379593f2b8b4cc6/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
What is POLST?
Doctor’s order recognized by the entire medical
system
Portable document that goes with the patient
Brightly colored, standardized form for entire state
Allows individuals to choose medical treatments they
want to receive, and identify those they do not want
Provides direction for healthcare providers during
serious illness
![Page 48: PCP Focus Meeting Fall 2013](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051609/547b1806b379593f2b8b4cc6/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)

Who Would Benefit from Having a POLST Form?
Chronic, progressive illness
Serious health condition
Medically frail
![Page 50: PCP Focus Meeting Fall 2013](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051609/547b1806b379593f2b8b4cc6/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
POLST History
POLST development began in Oregon in 1991
Expanded to more than half of US
Studies have shown that POLST is effective in
providing care that is consistent with patient
wishes
