4 I. Introduction The goal of the Integrated Health Partnerships demonstration Request for Proposal (RFP) is to improve the quality and value of the care provided to the citizens served by public health care programs. This program creates an Integrated Health Partnership (IHP) structure for provider organizations to voluntarily contract with the Minnesota Department of Humans Services (DHS) to care for Minnesota Health Care Programs (MHCP) patients in both fee for service (FFS) and managed care under a payment model that holds these organizations accountable for the total cost of care and quality of services provided to this population. Within this structure, DHS plans to implement demonstration projects in different geographic regions of the state and across different models of care delivery that will integrate health care with chemical and mental health services, safety net providers, and social service agencies. The projects will include clear incentives for quality of care and targeted savings, and will result in increased competition in the marketplace through direct contracting with providers. A. Purpose of Request The Minnesota Department of Human Services, through its Health Care Administration (State), is seeking Proposals from qualified Responders to test alternative and innovative health care delivery systems serving MHCP patients. Minnesota Statutes 256B.0755 directs the State to solicit proposals to test alternative and innovative health care delivery systems that provide services to a specified patient population for an agreed upon total cost of care or risk/gain sharing payment arrangement. It also states that the request for proposals should be developed in consultation with hospitals, primary care providers, health plans, and other key stakeholders. To this end DHS released an RFI on March 28, 2011 and held three stakeholder meetings (April 7, 8, and 15, 2011). The RFI closed on April 15, The State received 40 responses and used the information to inform the development of the IHP model. B. Objective of this RFP The objective of this RFP is to contract with qualified Responders to perform the tasks and services set forth in this RFP. It is anticipated that any contract awarded under this RFP will have a start date of January 1, 2016, and an initial term of one year. Thereafter, the Commissioner of Human Services may choose to renew any contract awarded under this RFP annually over a three year period. Proposals must be submitted by 4:00 p.m. Central Time on August 24, This RFP does not obligate the State to award a contract or complete the project, and the State reserves the right to cancel the solicitation if it is considered to be in its best interest. All costs incurred in responding to this RFP will be borne by the Responder. C. Background 1. General: Under the authority of Minnesota Statutes 256B.0755, the State is soliciting IHP RFP Revised July 13,

Scope of Work A. Overview This RFP provides background information and describes the services desired by the State. It delineates the requirements for this procurement and specifies the contractual conditions required by the State. Although this RFP establishes the basis for Responder Proposals, the detailed obligations and additional measures of performance will be defined in the final negotiated contract. The purpose of the IHP demonstration is to provide opportunities for providers and other organizations to develop innovative forms of care delivery under shared savings and loss payment arrangements that reduce the cost of care, improve health outcomes, and improve patient experience. The demonstration IHP RFP Revised - July 13,
7 will be conducted over a three-year period with annual performance periods. The demonstration will be conducted statewide and is not limited to providers or MHCP participants in a specified geographic area. MHCP participants included in the demonstration are non-dually eligible Medical Assistance and MinnesotaCare enrollees attributed to the IHP for the performance period. 1. System Requirements To be considered eligible to participate as an IHP for the purposes of responding to this RFP, a successful Responder must meet the following criteria: a. Provide the full scope of primary care, and adopt methods of care delivery so that the full scope of primary care is provided and care is coordinated across the spectrum of services provided. b. All providers included in the IHP demonstration payment model must be enrolled MHCP providers. c. Demonstrate, through the care delivery model, how the IHP will affect the total cost of care of its MHCP participants regardless of whether the services are delivered by the IHP. d. Demonstrate how formal and informal partnerships with community-based organizations, social service agencies, counties, public health resources, etc. are included in the care delivery model. Responders are encouraged to propose mechanisms to incorporate these organizations directly into the payment model. e. Demonstrate how the IHP will engage and coordinate with other providers, counties, and organizations, including county-based purchasing plans, that provide services to the IHP s patients on issues related to local population health, including applicable local needs, priorities, and public health goals. Responders should describe how local providers, counties, organizations, county-based purchasing plans, and other relevant purchasers were consulted in developing the application to participate in the demonstration project. f. Demonstrate how the IHP will meaningfully engage patients and families as partners in the care they receive, as well as in organizational quality improvement activities and leadership roles. g. Demonstrate established processes to monitor and ensure the quality of care provided. Participate in quality measurement activities as required by the State and engage in quality improvement activities. h. Demonstrate the capacity to receive data from the State via secure electronic processes and use it to identify opportunities for patient engagement and to stratify its population to determine the care model strategies needed to improve outcomes. i. Nothing in the contract agreement will obviate all providers included in the IHP from meeting all MHCP fee-for-service and/or managed care organization (MCO) IHP RFP Revised - July 13,
8 requirements including, but not limited to enrollment, reporting, claims submission, and quality measures. IHPs will not administer the MHCP benefit set or pay claims under the demonstration or be required to contract for additional services outside of the services delivered by the IHP. An IHP may include an organizing entity and agreement of shared governance. This may include but is not limited to a non-profit or a county or group of counties; however any IHP payments must be provided to and/or received from an MHCP enrolled provider identified in section III.B.4.b of this RFP by the IHP. 2. Overview of Payment Models and Risk Organizations that meet the system requirements described above are eligible to participate in either a Virtual or Integrated payment mode as described below. Eligibility for each payment model will be determined by the integration and scope of services provided by the IHP as described below. The payment models outlined are based on IHP performance against a risk-adjusted total cost of care target for all qualifying MHCP participants attributed to the IHP for the performance period. The total cost of care target will be calculated using risk-adjusted MHCP fee-for-service claims and encounter claims submitted by managed care organizations (MCOs) under contract with the State. IHP financial incentives under the demonstration related to reducing total costs will be contingent on performance on quality and patient experience outcomes. All shared savings and losses payments under the models described below will be calculated and disbursed annually via a reconciliation payment. Providers will continue to receive the current MHCP fee-for-service or MCO contracted payment during the performance period. Responders are encouraged to involve community organizations, local public health, behavioral health or long term care service providers in the distribution of shared savings and losses payments as defined in Sections III and IV, and bonus points are available for such arrangements. DHS is committed to developing a credible and fair risk-sharing and performance measurement process. In developing the initial IHP model analytics, DHS compiled a significant amount of stakeholder and expert feedback and performed a variety of analyses to develop the initial proposed payment model. During previous IHP negotiation and contract development processes, the payment model was refined based on additional research, actuarial analyses and feedback, and is described below and in the supplementary documentation. To assure the credibility of the process during the three years of the Demonstration Project, the payment models and process as described below may be subject to mutually agreed-upon modifications based on additional DHS research, emerging findings or feedback from the participating IHPs. a. Type of Models Model 1: Virtual IHP i. Provider organizations eligible for the Virtual IHP payment model include primary care providers and/or multi-specialty provider groups that are not formally integrated with a hospital or integrated system via aligned financial arrangements and common clinical and information systems. Provider organizations with an MHCP population between IHP RFP Revised - July 13,
9 1,000-1,999 attributed participants are eligible only for the Virtual IHP model, regardless of their level of formal integration. ii. The payment model is a shared savings model that will distribute the difference between annual expected and actual realized total cost of care if savings are achieved, a portion of which is contingent on quality and patient experience outcomes. Model 2: Integrated IHP i. Provider organizations eligible for the Integrated IHP include an integrated delivery system that provides a broad spectrum of outpatient and inpatient care as a common financial and organizational entity. Provider organizations must serve an MHCP population of 2,000 attributed participants or greater in order to be eligible for the integrated model. ii. iii. The payment model incorporates shared risk over time and builds toward a two-way risk sharing model that distributes the difference between the annual expected and actual realized total cost of care whether savings are achieved or not, a portion of which is contingent on quality and patient experience measures. Responders are required to propose the amount of risk for the MHCP population attributed to the IHP for the purposes of this RFP. The basic terms of the risk sharing agreement are outlined below. In responding to this RFP, IHPs will be required to propose their risk sharing arrangement within these parameters. b. Total Cost of Care (TCOC) Performance Assessment Process IHP performance assessment is based on a comparison of the observed TCOC for each performance period (Calendar Year (CY) 2016, CY2017, and CY2018) to a TCOC Target. The TCOC Target is based on a base period TCOC (CY2015) after adjusting for expected trend and changes in attributed population size and relative risk from the base period to the performance periods. The Base Period Attributed Population will be developed for each IHP using 2015 claims, MCO encounter data, and the attribution process as described in this RFP. Using this attributed population, the Base Period Total Cost of Care (Base TCOC) will be developed using the services as outlined in Section II.A.3 in this RFP. Claims for an individual member that fall outside of pre-determined thresholds will be capped to adjust the per member per month (PMPM) results for catastrophic cases. In addition, the Base Period Risk Score will be assessed for the assigned members, using the Johns Hopkins ACG risk adjustment tool to determine the relative risk of the base population. In addition to developing weights based exclusively on the services included in the Base TCOC, the weights used to assess the risk of the population will be calculated using the pre-determined claim caps to adjust the weights and reduce the impact of catastrophic cases. Early in each performance period, DHS will develop an Expected Trend rate for the total cost of care based on the trend rates used to develop the annual expected cost increases for the aggregate MHCP population, with appropriate adjustments for services excluded from the Base TCOC or other factors that are applicable to the total cost of care and goals of the program. An initial TCOC Target for the IHP RFP Revised - July 13,
10 upcoming performance period can be established using the Base TCOC and Expected Trend. The target will ultimately be adjusted for the relative risk of the actual population attributed to the IHP in the performance period. At the end of each performance period, DHS will determine the Performance Period Attributed Population using retrospective claims data and the attribution process as described in this RFP. In addition, the Performance Period Total Cost of Care (Performance TCOC) will be developed, adjusting for any claims for an individual member that fall outside of pre-determined catastrophic case thresholds. The risk score for the measurement period s attributed population will be used to calculate the change in relative risk from the base period to the performance period. Using the change in relative risk, the Target TCOC will be adjusted based on the increase or decrease in the risk of the attributed populations. The Adjusted Target TCOC will be compared to the Performance TCOC for purposes of determining the performance results and the basis for the calculation of shared savings and losses. c. Total Cost of Care Performance Measurement Specifications and Requirements To assure that a participating IHP does not have the measurement of their performance inappropriately impacted by changes in the risk status of the membership, DHS will perform risk adjustment on the attributed populations in the base period and performance period and adjust the Target TCOC (the Adj. Target TCOC ) to reflect the changes in risk. To further refine the measurement process and reduce the potential variability inherent in any risk score methodology, DHS has developed the following specifications and requirements: 1. Population sizes: Successful Responders must meet a minimum attributed MHCP population size of 1,000 members. For purposes of developing the risk arrangements, DHS is defining the following MHCP sizes: a. Small Population 1,000 to 1,999 attributed patients (Virtual model only) b. Medium Population 2,000 to 4,999 attributed patients c. Large Population more than 5,000 attributed patients 2. Claim cap levels: To reduce the potential variability of the risk assessment process and the financial results, DHS will develop the risk scores and total cost of care PMPM by removing the claim costs for individual members that fall above specific thresholds. Because of the greater impact of large claimants on the results for smaller populations, DHS developed the following general guidelines for managing catastrophic risk: a. Small Population $50,000 maximum annual claims per patient (Virtual model only) b. Medium Population $100,000 maximum annual claims per patient c. Large Population $200,000 maximum annual claims per patient 3. Minimum Performance Thresholds: DHS has established a 2% minimum performance threshold that must be met prior to the distribution of any shared savings or losses payments between the State (including its contracted MCOs, as applicable) and the IHP. Specifically, the Performance TCOC must be above 102% or below 98% of the Adj. Target TCOC in the Integrated IHP for shared savings and losses payments to occur. A Virtual IHP will not receive any shared savings unless their Performance TCOC is below 98% of the Adj. Target TCOC. Once the performance IHP RFP Revised - July 13,
11 target is met, shared savings or shared losses payments are calculated back to the first dollar, i.e., any amount above or below the TCOC target. 4. Shared Savings and Shared Losses Payment Distributions: DHS is requiring Integrated IHP Responders to propose their preferred performance thresholds for shared savings or shared losses between DHS and the IHP, within some specified parameters. The performance threshold parameters gradually incorporate two-way risk sharing and increased flexibility for IHPs over the three years of the demonstration. The parameters for each year are as follows: a. Performance Period 1: IHP shares any savings equally (50/50) with the State/MCOs provided the 2% minimum performance threshold has been achieved. The maximum threshold for shared savings in Performance Period 1 must be the same in Performance Period 3 and is limited to a maximum of 85% of the TCOC Target. b. Performance Period 2: IHP assumes some downside risk, but it need not be symmetrical to the proposed shared savings threshold. The IHP has some discretion around the amount of risk it is willing to bear, but the ratio of shared savings thresholds to shared loss thresholds must be 2:1. For example, if the IHP wishes to avoid risk for claims above 106% of the TCOC Target, the maximum threshold for shared savings is 88% (6 percentage points x 2 = 12) below the TCOC Target. All shared savings and shared losses are distributed equally (50/50) with the State/MCOs. c. Performance Period 3: IHP assumes two-way risk with symmetrical risk sharing thresholds. For example, if an IHP wishes to avoid risk at 115% of the TCOC Target, the maximum threshold for shared savings must be 85%. An IHP may elect different distributions of shared savings and shared losses within the proposed thresholds. The maximum threshold for shared savings in Performance Period 3 must be the same as in Performance Period 1 and is limited to a maximum of 85% of the TCOC Target (see section 1.3 of Attachment D of the model contract in Appendix B of this document, for specific requirements and additional detail). A Virtual IHP does not have the option of proposing a schedule and will be required to share any savings (once the 2% minimum performance threshold is met) equally (50/50) with the State for all three years of the demonstration. 3. Definitions of Total Cost of Care The two payment models will use the same methodology and categories of service to calculate the riskadjusted Total Cost of Care (TCOC) target. TCOC will be calculated by the State for all MHCP patients in both fee-for-service and managed care attributed to the IHP for the performance period. Further detail on the categories of service included and the specific procedure codes included in each category is provided in Attachment E: Core Services of the IHP model contract included as an attachment to this RFP. The State reserves the right to modify the services included in the total cost of care calculation under this RFP. The Responder may propose additional Medicaid covered services for inclusion in the TCOC target. The Responder should detail in their proposal any additional services beyond the core set by major category of service and procedure code. 4. Attribution Methodology IHP RFP Revised - July 13,
12 MHCP participants will be attributed by the State to an IHP using retrospective claims data for the purposes of determining the TCOC Target and actual Performance TCOC. Participants will be attributed to one IHP at a time. All of the attributed participants care as provided in the total cost of care definition will be attributed to the IHP, regardless of whether the IHP delivered the services. An interim attributed population will be determined early in the performance period and shared with the IHP. The final attributed population for the performance period will be re-calculated following 12 months of claims run-out for purposes of accountability under the payment models. Attribution will be done using a hierarchical process that incents active outreach and retention of patients by the IHP under the following general methodology: 1 st Participants actively enrolled in care coordination through a certified Health Care Home (HCH) submitting a monthly care coordination claim. 2 nd Participants that cannot be attributed based on HCH enrollment may be attributed to the IHP based on the number of Evaluation and Management (E&M) visits (i.e., encounters) with provider who specializes in primary care. 3 rd Participants that cannot be attributed through primary care visits may be attributed to the IHP based on their E&M visits with non-primary care (specialty) providers. Because the results of the attribution method will impact the size of the population included in each IHP s demonstration payment model, the State and Responder will define contract terms based on subsequent analysis of which participants are actually attributable. 5. Quality Measures 1. Shared savings under the payment models for IHPs will be contingent in part on clinical quality and patient experience measure results. The State will align quality measures across demonstrations and with existing measures and data collection under the Statewide Quality Reporting and Measurement System (Minnesota Statutes 62U.02), and Health Care Home Outcomes (Minnesota Statutes 256B.0751, subd. 6). The core set of quality measures, reporting specifications, and the benchmarking and scoring methodology are provided in detail in Attachment F: Quality and Patient Experience Measures of the IHP model contract included as Appendix B to this RFP. Performance on quality measures will impact the amount of shared savings (if any) achieved by each IHP and is phased in over the three year demonstration as follows: a. Performance Period 1: 25% of IHP portion of shared savings based on reporting measures. b. Performance Period 2: 25% of IHP portion of shared savings based on performance (overall quality score). c. Performance Period 3: 50% of IHP portion of shared savings based on performance (overall quality score). 2. The State will determine preliminary minimum and maximum attainment thresholds for each measure for all IHPs under the demonstration before the beginning of Performance Periods 2 and 3 and will post them on the DHS website. The State will notify the IHP of final thresholds upon final calculation using the data based on the most recent quality measurement periods. IHP RFP Revised - July 13,
13 3. In addition to the core set of measures defined by the State, successful Responders are encouraged to propose additional measures and to demonstrate how the additional measures apply to the specific communities and/or population served by the IHP. These measures can include specific health outcomes measures, patient experience measures, or measures of overall population health. Proposed additional measures are subject to approval by the State. Guidelines for additional measures include: a. Utilize a state or nationally recognized quality measure specification. b. The data must be able to be collected by a third-party using an existing data collection mechanism. c. The data must be validated and audited by a third-party. d. Not be a measure that is impacted by high variability due to coding changes. e. Ensure needed appropriate care is not negatively impacted. 6. Interaction with Medicaid Managed Care Organizations (MCOs) The IHP demonstration will be implemented consistently at the delivery system level and for MHCP participants currently enrolled in either fee-for-service and managed care. The State will implement and execute the IHP payment model, quality measures and methodology, patient attribution for both MHCP enrollees in fee-for-service and in MCOs under contract with the State to provide services to non-dually eligible Medical Assistance and MinnesotaCare enrollees. The MCOs will participate as a payer in the IHP payment process via their contract requirement with the State. The MHCP participants will be attributed to an IHP regardless of whether they are enrolled in fee-forservice or in an MCO. All attributed participants will be calculated together at the delivery system level for the purposes of the Total Cost of Care and the payment model. The State will calculate the total cost of care targets and the shared savings or losses payment across both fee-for-service and managed care using retrospective claims and encounter data. The State will also calculate the quality measures and overall score using data applicable to each measure. The State (and its contracted MCOs, as applicable) will each pay its portion of the shared savings payments to the IHP (or the State and its contracted MCOs will receive shared losses payments from the IHP). MCOs (licensed health plans or County-Based Purchasing Organizations) may not participate as principal Respondents in the IHP demonstration. 7. Data Feedback to Providers DHS will make utilization and risk information for its attributed population available to IHP providers via DHS IHP and MN-ITS data portals. The data will be populated by a monthly set of risk adjustment (Johns Hopkins Adjusted Clinical Groups [ACG ]) output in the DHS data warehouse, and will include both feefor-service and MCO encounter claim data. Data will be as timely as possible given standard claims lag, and will be available via risk adjustment software output or standardized reports. Key variables available to delivery systems will be primarily from ACG output, and will include population-level data (such as the total cost of care and rates of inpatient and emergency department utilization) and participant-level data (such as medical and pharmacy utilization histories, predictive risk information, and indices of care coordination). Reference documentation to IHP provider feedback reports can be found in Appendix A. IHP RFP Revised - July 13,
14 B. Tasks/Deliverables Successful Responders will: 1. Demonstrate innovative care models and community coordination, integration or linkages. 2. Describe the care model, programs and strategies and demonstrate how they will impact the total cost of care, clinical quality, and patient experience outcomes. 3.

As described above, the population served must include all MHCP enrollees not specifically excluded from the demonstration payment model. 4. Proposed Payment Arrangement: IHP RFP Revised - July 13,
17 a. Selected Payment Model and Justification: This section will indicate whether the delivery system qualifies for the Virtual IHP or the Integrated IHP payment model described in Section II above. If the Responder identifies the Virtual IHP model, it must describe the organizational structure of the delivery system and demonstrate that it either does not operate within a formally integrated care system, or serves an MHCP population of 1,000 1,999 participants, or both. Features of such integration include, but are not limited to, common clinical and information systems, shared financial structure and a common parent organization. This section will also indicate the catastrophic claim cap level to be used in the payment model based on the number of qualifying MHCP participants served, as illustrated in Section II. b. Defined Provider Population and Accountable Financial Entity: This section must identify the care for which the IHP will be accountable by identifying the involved providers. This must be done in a way that allows DHS to link claims data to a defined fiscal entity or group of providers. o The Responder must specify the Group National Provider Identifiers (NPI) (type 2) for the entities participating in the IHP, and o o A complete list of individual provider NPIs participating in the IHP. Further, the Respondent must specify the billing provider NPI or Tax Identification Number (TIN) that it wishes to be the locus of accountability for the delivery system and contracting partner with the State. This will be the identified entity for the shared savings and loss payments to be transmitted to and from DHS. c. Additional Service Categories Included in Total Cost of Care (if applicable): Attachment E: Core Services of the IHP model contract included as an attachment to this RFP lists the minimum services included in the Total Cost of Care (TCOC) for all demonstration payment models. Responders are encouraged to include additional services in the TCOC in their proposal. This section should identify any additional service categories that the IHP proposes to be accountable for through their inclusion in the TCOC calculation. Responders need not complete this section if they do not wish to add services to the defined TCOC model. d. MHCP Population Size: This section should provide an estimate of the population size that the IHP expects to serve under the demonstration project, and a confirmation of the corresponding catastrophic claim cap laid out in Section II. In addition to the estimate, the methodology, assumptions and information (e.g. plan provided data, payment analysis) used by the IHP to estimate the population size should be briefly described in the response. e. Proposed Amount of Assumed Risk: This section must contain a proposal for the amount and distribution of the shared savings and/or losses payments in the model in each of the three years of the demonstration. (The Virtual Model contains a standard 50/50 split of shared savings.) Within the guidelines described in Section II above, the Respondent must propose the amount of shared savings and losses. In the Integrated IHP model, the amount of shared savings and shared loss must adhere to the following guidelines: Performance Period 1: IHP shares any savings equally (50/50) with the State/MCOs provided the 2% minimum performance threshold has been achieved. The IHP RFP Revised - July 13,
18 maximum threshold for shared savings in Performance Period 1 must be the same in Performance Period 3 and is limited to a maximum of 85% of the TCOC Target. Performance Period 2 (Integrated only): IHP assumes some downside risk, but it need not be symmetrical to the proposed shared savings threshold. The IHP has some discretion around the amount of risk it is willing to bear, but the ratio of shared savings thresholds to shared loss thresholds must be 2:1. For example, if the IHP wishes to avoid risk for claims above 106% of the TCOC Target, the maximum threshold for shared savings is 88% (6 percentage points x 2 = 12) below the TCOC Target. All shared savings and losses are distributed equally (50/50) with the State/MCOs. Performance Period 3 (Integrated only): IHP assumes two-way risk with symmetrical risk sharing thresholds. For example, if an IHP wishes to avoid risk at 115% of the TCOC Target, the maximum threshold for shared savings must be 85%. An IHP may elect different distributions of shared savings and losses within the proposed thresholds. The maximum threshold for shared savings in Performance Period 3 must be the same as the maximum threshold in Performance Period 1 and is limited to a maximum of 85% of the TCOC Target. (See section 1.3 of Attachment D of the model contract in Appendix B of this document, for additional detail on the settlement process). The table below provides a hypothetical example of a permissible 3-year risk sharing agreement under the integrated model, along with a suggested format for developing your response. Performance Period 1 Performance Period 2 Performance Period 3 Shared Savings Only Example Responder to Complete Example Responder to Complete Threshold % of Adj. Target TCOC IHP/DHS Distribution % of Adj. Target TCOC IHP/DHS Distribution % of Adj. Target TCOC IHP/DHS Distribution % of Adj. Target TCOC IHP/DHS Distribution % of Adj.

The selected shared savings/losses distributions must follow the guidelines described below. For Performance Period 2, the IHP is expected to accept downside risk, which can be capped at a threshold specified by the IHP. However, if the IHP chooses to cap the loss threshold, the amount of shared savings must be capped at a 2:1 percentage of the loss cap. For Performance Period 3, the thresholds and distribution percentages may differ from the example and can vary by year. However, the IHP/State distribution must be the same for savings and losses at the symmetric thresholds (e.g., 90 to 94% gain share distribution must equal the 106 to 110% loss share distribution). Additionally, the shared savings thresholds in Performance Period 3 must be the same as Performance Period 1. IHP RFP Revised - July 13,
19 The State may consider deviations from the threshold and distribution percentage requirements described above for Responders that include community providers or organizations or additional service beyond the core set for TCOC in the IHP payment model. The Responder should follow the requirements above for completing the financial template but include details of how they propose to include community providers or organizations and/or additional services in their proposal. Deviations from the current requirements may need further federal approval. f. Mechanism for Distributing Shared Savings and Losses Payments: This section must describe the manner in which the IHP will distribute potential shared savings payments among its component parts or entities, as well as the nature of shared responsibility for potential shared losses payments penalties in the Integrated Model. If applicable, the IHP should highlight the direct inclusion of community organizations in the payment model structure. 5. Quality Measures: As described in Section II above, a portion of shared savings that accrue to the IHP are contingent on clinical quality and patient experience measure reporting in Performance Period 1 and performance in Performance Periods 2 and 3. The core set of outcome measures for all IHPs in the demonstration are measures included in the Statewide Quality Reporting and Measurement System pursuant to Minnesota Statutes 62U.02. An IHP may propose measures in addition to the core set in accordance with the guidelines described below. a. Additional Proposed Measures (if applicable): If desired, the Responder may identify additional quality and patient experience measures to incorporate into the payment model. These additional measures do not replace the core measure set identified above. Describe how the measures are defined and collected, how they have been validated and endorsed by state and/or national organizations, and otherwise meet the guidelines described is section II.A.5. of this RFP. b. Description of Applicability of Measures to the Population Served: This section must describe how the clinical quality and patient experience measures (both the core set and any additional measures proposed) apply to the specific populations and communities served by the Respondent, as well as how the care models, community partnerships, and patient and family partnerships are expected to improve these outcomes. D. Required Statements Complete the correlating forms found in edocs by right clicking on the links below (in blue), select Copy Hyperlink and paste into your web browser and click Enter. These forms must be submitted as the Required Statements section of your proposal. You must use the current forms found in edocs. Failure to use the most current forms found in edocs in completion of the proposal are at the responder s risk and may, at the discretion of the State, result in disqualification of the proposal for nonresponsiveness. IHP RFP Revised - July 13,
20 1. Responder Information and Declarations (Responder Information/Declarations Form DHS ENG): Complete and submit the attached Responder Information and Declarations form. If you are required to submit additional information as a result of the declarations, include the additional information as part of this form. 2. Exceptions to RFP Terms (Exceptions to Terms and Conditions Form- DHS-7019-ENG): The contents of this RFP and the proposal(s) of the successful responder(s) may become part of the final contract if a contract is awarded. Each responder's proposal must include a statement of acceptance of all terms and conditions stated within this RFP or provide a detailed statement of exception for each item excepted by the responder. Responders who object to any condition of this RFP must note the objection on the attached Exceptions to RFP Terms form. If a responder has no objections to any terms or conditions, the responder should write None on the form. Responder should be aware of the State s standard contract terms and conditions in preparing its response. A sample State of Minnesota, Department of Human Services, Grant Contract is attached in the Appendix for your reference. Much of the language reflected in the contract is required by statute. If you take exception to any of the terms, conditions or language in the contract, you must indicate those exceptions in your response to the RFP. Only those exceptions indicated in your response to the RFP will be available for discussion or negotiation. Responders are cautioned that any exceptions to the terms of the standard State contract which give the responder a material advantage over other responders may result in the responder s proposal being declared nonresponsive. Proposals being declared nonresponsive will receive no further consideration for award of the Contract. Also, proposals that take blanket exception to all or substantially all boilerplate contract provisions will be considered nonresponsive proposals and rejected from further consideration for contract award. 3. Affidavit of Noncollusion (Affidavit of Noncollusion Form- DHS-7021) : Each responder must complete and submit the attached Affidavit of Noncollusion form. 4. Trade Secret/Confidential Data Notification (Trade Secret/Confidential Data Notice Form- DHS ENG): All materials submitted in response to this RFP will become property of the State and will become public record in accordance with Minnesota Statutes, section , after the evaluation process is completed. Pursuant to the statute, completion of the evaluation process occurs when the government entity has completed negotiating the contract with the successful responder. If a contract is awarded to the Responder, the State must have the right to use or disclose the trade secret data to the extent otherwise provided in the grant contract or by law. If the responder submits information in response to this RFP that it believes to be trade secret/confidential materials, as defined by the Minnesota Government Data Practices Act, Minnesota Statutes, section 13.37, and the responder does not want such data used or disclosed for any purpose other than the evaluation of this proposal, the responder must: a. clearly mark every page of trade secret materials in its proposal at the time the proposal is submitted with the words TRADE SECRET or CONFIDENTIAL in capitalized, underlined and bolded type that is at least 20 pt.; the State does not assume liability for the use or disclosure of unmarked or unclearly marked trade secret/confidential data; IHP RFP Revised - July 13,
21 b. fill out and submit the attached Trade Secret/Confidential Information Notification Form, specifying the pages of the proposal which are to be restricted and justifying the trade secret designation for each item. If no material is being designated as protected, a statement of None should be listed on the form; c. satisfy the burden to justify any claim of trade secret/confidential information. In order for a trade secret claim to be considered by the State, detailed justification that satisfies the statutory elements of Minnesota Statutes, section and the factors discussed in Prairie Island Indian Community v. Minnesota Dept. of Public Safety, 658 N.W.2d 876, (Minn.App.2003) must be provided. Use of generic trade secret language encompassing substantial portions of the proposal or simple assertions of trade secret interest without substantive explanation of the basis therefore will be regarded as nonresponsive requests for trade secret exception and will not be considered by the State in the event of a data request is received for proposal information; and d. defend any action seeking release of the materials it believes to be trade secret and/or confidential, and indemnify and hold harmless the State, its agents and employees, from any judgments awarded against the State in favor of the party requesting the materials, and any and all costs connected with that defense. This indemnification survives the State s award of a contract. In submitting a response to this RFP, the responder agrees that this indemnification survives as long as the trade secret materials are in the possession of the State. The State is required to keep all the basic documents related to its contracts, including selected responses to RFPs, for a minimum of six years after the end of the contract. Non-selected RFP proposals will be kept by the State for a minimum of one year after the award of a contract, and could potentially be kept for much longer. The State reserves the right to reject a claim if it determines responder has not met the burden of establishing that the information constitutes a trade secret or is confidential. The State will not consider prices or costs submitted by the responder to be trade secret materials. Any decision by the State to disclose information designated by the responder as trade secret/confidential will be made consistent with the Minnesota Government Data Practices Act and other relevant laws and regulations. If certain information is found to constitute a trade secret/confidential, the remainder of the Proposal will become public; only the trade secret/confidential information will be removed and remain nonpublic. The State also retains the right to use any or all system ideas presented in any proposal received in response to this RFP unless the responder presents a positive statement of objection in the proposal. Exceptions to such responder objections include: (1) public data, (2) ideas which were known to the State before submission of such proposal, or (3) ideas which properly became known to the State thereafter through other sources or through acceptance of the responder's proposal. 5. Submission of Certified Financial Audit, IRS Form 990, or Most Recent Board-Reviewed Financial Statements: The successful responder must be fiscally responsible. Therefore, responders must include in their proposals sufficient financial documentation to establish their financial stability. Depending on the responder s annual income or how long the responder has been in business, a responder is required to submit either a certified financial audit, IRS Form 990, or most recent boardreviewed financial statements. A certified financial audit is a review of an organization s financial statements, fiscal policies and control procedures by an independent third party to determine if the statements fairly represent the organization s financial position and if organizational procedures are in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). Minnesota nonprofit organizations IHP RFP Revised - July 13,
22 are required to have a certified financial audit completed for any fiscal year in which they have total revenue of more than $750,000. An IRS Form 990 is a federal tax return for nonprofit organizations. Nonprofit organizations that are recognized as exempt from federal income tax must file a Form 990 or Form 990 EZ if it has averaged more than $25,000 in annual gross receipts over the past three tax years. Responders must submit financial information as outlined below with their proposal: a. Responders with an annual income of under $25,000 or who have not been in existence long enough to have an audit or completed IRS Form 990 should submit their most recent board-reviewed financial statements. b. Responders with total annual revenue of under $750,000 should submit their most recent IRS Form 990. c. Grant applicants with total annual revenue of over $750,000 should submit their most recent certified financial audit. Responders may also include documentations of cash reserves to carry you through shortages or delays in receipt of revenue, and/or other documents sufficient to substantiate responsible fiscal management. In the event a responder is either substantially or wholly owned by another corporate entity, the proposal must also include the most recent detailed financial report of the parent organization, and a written guarantee by the parent organization that it will unconditionally guarantee performance by the responder in each and every term, covenant, and condition of such contract as may be executed by the parties. Please also include information about any pending major accusations that could affect your financial stability. If the responder is a county government or a multi-county human services agency that has 1.) had an audit in the last year by the State Auditor or an outside auditing firm or 2) meets the requirements of the Single Audit Act, the responder is not required to submit financial statements. However, the State reserves the right to request any financial information to assure itself of a county s financial status. The information collected from these inquiries will be used in the State s determination of the award of the contract. It may be shared with other persons within the Minnesota Department of Human Services who may be involved in the decision-making process, and/or with other persons as authorized by law. If you choose not to provide the requested information, your organization s proposal will found nonresponsive and given no further consideration. The State reserves the right to request any additional information to assure itself of a responder's financial reliability. 6. Disclosure of Funding Form (Disclosure of Funding Form- DHS-7018-ENG) Per the Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act of 2006 Transparency Act or FFATA (Public Law ), all entities and organizations receiving federal funds are required to report full disclosure of funding (United States Code, title 31, chapter 61, section 6101). The purpose of FFATA is to provide every American with the ability to hold the government accountable for each spending decision. The end result is to reduce wasteful spending in the government. The FFATA legislation requires information on federal awards to be made available to the public through a single, searchable website. Federal awards include grants, sub-grants, loans, awards, and delivery orders. IHP RFP Revised - July 13,
23 In order to comply with the federal statute, the Minnesota Department of Human Services is required to obtain and report by the grantee s Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS) number and determine if the grantee meets specific requirement which would require additional reporting items and to collect additional information on executive compensation if required. In order to comply with federal law and to collect this information, responders are required to fill out the Disclosure of Funding Form and submit it with their response. The form requires responders to provide their Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS) number. The Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS) number is the nine-digit number established and assigned by Dun and Bradstreet, Inc. (D&B) to uniquely identify business entities. If a responder does not already have a DUNS number, a number may be obtained from the D&B by telephone (currently ) or the Internet (currently at The responder must have a DUNS number before their response is submitted. 7. Human Rights Compliance: i. Affirmative Action (Affirmative Action Data Page- DHS-7016-ENG).For all contracts estimated to be in excess of $100,000, Responders are required to complete and submit the attached Affirmative Action Data page.

(Equal Pay Certificate Compliance DHS ENG) 1 1. Scope. Pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, section 363A.44, the State shall not execute a contract for goods or services or an agreement for goods or services in excess of $500,000 with a business that has 40 or more full-time employees in the State of Minnesota or a state where the business has its primary place of business on a single day during the prior 12 months, unless the business has an equal pay certificate or it has certified in writing that it is exempt. This section does not apply to a business, with respect to a specific contract, if the commissioner of administration determines that the requirements of this section would cause undue hardship on the business. This section does not apply to a contract to provide goods or services to individuals under Minnesota Statutes, chapters 43A, 62A, 62C, 62D, 62E, 256B, 256I, 256L, and 268A, with a business that has a license, certification, registration, provider agreement, or provider enrollment contract that is a prerequisite to providing those good or services. 2. Application. If your response to this RFP is or could be within the scope of Minnesota Statutes, section 363A.44, you must apply for an equal pay certificate by paying a $150 filing fee and submitting an equal pay compliance statement to the Minnesota Department of Human Rights ( MDHR ).

26 The above-referenced packages and all correspondence related to this RFP must be delivered to: Attention: Mathew Spaan Health Care Administration Department of Human Services 444 Lafayette Road N. St. Paul, MN It is solely the responsibility of each responder to assure that their proposal is delivered at the specific place, in the specific format, and prior to the deadline for submission. Failure to abide by these instructions for submitting proposals may result in the disqualification of any non-complying proposal. V. Proposal Evaluation and Selection A. Overview of Evaluation Methodology 1. All responsive proposals received by the deadline will be evaluated by the State. Proposals will be evaluated on best value as specified below, using a 100 point scale. The evaluation will be conducted in three phases: a. Phase I Required Statements Review b. Phase II Evaluation of Proposal Requirements c. Phase III Selection of the Successful Responder(s) 2. During the evaluation process, all information concerning the proposals submitted, except identity and address of the responder, will remain non-public and will not be disclosed to anyone whose official duties do not require such knowledge. 3. Nonselection of any proposals will mean that either another proposal(s) was determined to be more advantageous to the State or that the State exercised the right to reject any or all Proposals. At its discretion, the State may perform an appropriate cost and pricing analysis of a responder's proposal, including an audit of the reasonableness of any proposal. B. Evaluation Team 1. An evaluation team will be selected to evaluate Responder Proposals. 2. State and professional staff, other than the evaluation team, may also assist in the evaluation process. This assistance could include, but is not limited to, the initial mandatory requirements review, contacting of references, or answering technical questions from evaluators. 3. The State reserves the right to alter the composition of the evaluation team and their specific responsibilities. IHP RFP Revised - July 13,
27 C. Evaluation Phases At any time during the evaluation phases, the State may, at the State s discretion, contact a responder to (1) provide further or missing information or clarification of their proposal, (2) provide an oral presentation of their proposal, or (3) obtain the opportunity to interview the proposed key personnel. Reference checks may also be made at this time. However, there is no guarantee that the State will look for information or clarification outside of the submitted written proposal. Therefore, it is important that the responder ensure that all sections of the proposal have been completed to avoid the possibility of failing an evaluation phase or having their score reduced for lack of information. 1. Phase I Required Statements Review The Required Statements will be evaluated on a pass or fail basis. Responders must "pass" each of the requirements identified in these sections to move to Phase II. The Responder may fail the Required Statements Review in the event that the Responder does not affirmatively warrant to any of the warranties in the Responder Information and Declarations. Additionally, the State reserves the right to fail a Responder in the event the Responder does not make a necessary disclosure in the Responder Information and Declarations, or makes a disclosure which evidences a conflict of interest. 2. Phase II - Evaluation of Technical Requirements of Proposals. A total of 100 points have been assigned to these component areas. Of the 100 possible points, there are 15 bonus points that represent elements that are not required proposal elements. The total possible points for these component areas are as follows: Component Total Possible Points a. Executive Summary 5 b. Description of the Applicant Delivery System 40 c. Description of MHCP Population Served by Delivery System 5 d. Proposed Payment Arrangement 30 (Including 5 possible bonus points for Direct Inclusion of Community Partners in Payment Model and 5 possible bonus points for Inclusion of Additional Service Categories in Total Cost of Care ) e. Quality Measures 20 (Including 5 possible bonus points for Additional Measures Proposed Beyond the Core Set) Total: 100 The evaluation team will review the components of each responsive Proposal submitted. Each component will be evaluated on the Responder's understanding and the quality and completeness of the Responder's approach and solution to the problems or issues presented. 3. Phase III - Selection of the Successful Responder(s) a. Only the Proposals found to be responsive under Phases I and II will be considered in Phase III. b. The evaluation team will review the scoring in making its recommendations of the Successful Responder(s). IHP RFP Revised - July 13,
28 c. The State may submit a list of detailed comments, questions, and concerns to one or more Responders after the initial evaluation. The State may require said response to be written, oral, or both. The State will only use written responses for evaluation purposes. The total scores for those Responders selected to submit additional information may be revised as a result of the new information. d. The evaluation team will make its recommendation based on the above-described evaluation process. The Successful Responder(s), if any, will be selected approximately three weeks after the Proposal submission due date. The final award decision will be made by the Commissioner or authorized designee. The Commissioner or authorized designee may accept or reject the recommendation of the evaluation team. D. Contract Negotiations and Unsuccessful Responder Notice If a Responder(s) is selected, the State will notify the Successful Responder(s) in writing of their selection and the State s desire to enter into contract negotiations. Until the State successfully completes negotiations with the selected Responder(s), all submitted Proposals remain eligible for selection by the State. In the event contract negotiations are unsuccessful with the selected Responder(s), the evaluation team may recommend another Responder(s). The final award decision will be made by the Commissioner or authorized designee. The Commissioner or authorized designee may accept or reject any subsequent recommendation of the evaluation team. After the State and chosen Responder(s) have successfully negotiated a contract, the State will notify the unsuccessful Responders in writing that their Proposals have not been accepted. All public information within Proposals will then be available for Responders to review, upon request. VI. Required Contract Terms and Conditions A. Requirements. All responders must be willing to comply with all state and federal legal requirements regarding the performance of the grant contract. The requirements are set forth throughout this RFP and are contained in the attached grant contract in the Appendix. B. Governing Law/Venue. This RFP and any subsequent contract must be governed by the laws of the State of Minnesota. Any and all legal proceedings arising from this RFP or any resulting contract in which the State is made a party must be brought in the State of Minnesota, District Court of Ramsey County. The venue of any federal action or proceeding arising here from in which the State is a party must be the United States District Court for the State of Minnesota. C. Travel. Reimbursement for travel and subsistence expenses actually and necessarily incurred by the grantee as a result of the grant contract will be in no greater amount than provided in the current "Commissioner s Plan promulgated by the commissioner of Minnesota Management and Budget.

33 Appendix A: Minnesota Department of Human Services IHP Provider Reports Reference Documentation Portal Layout Reports/dashboards are organized according to content area and displayed within portlets: TCOC (Total Cost of Care) Care Coordination Utilization Quality Performance Dashboard Common Data Elements The following data elements are common to multiple reports: Run Month The run month is the month and year the report was generated, and corresponds with the attribution date. The data contained in each report has a 3 month lag for claims run out ending in the previous month. For example, a run month of January 2015 coincides with dates of service October 1, September 30, IHP RFP Revised - July 13,
34 Measurement Period The measurement period is a twelve month period ending four months prior to run month. For example, the measurement period for Oct 13 - Sep 14 coincides with a January 2015 run month. Benchmark Population The benchmark population represents all MHCP attribution eligible individuals, including IHP attributed members. Members included in the benchmark must have: had an Evaluation and Management (E&M) or Health Care Home claim at some point during the performance period; six months of continuous enrollment or nine months of non-continuous enrollment; no disqualifying enrollment characteristics such as Medicare eligibility or enrollment in partial benefit programs such as the Family Planning Program or Emergency Medical Assistance. Dashboards Performance Dashboard The Performance Dashboard is updated every quarter and offers a high level summary of an IHP s performance trend over the course of the demonstration. Data in the dashboard is consistent with the results contained in the Performance Exhibit distributed every quarter; no data will display for IHPs who have yet to receive a Performance Exhibit (IHPs receive their first Performance Exhibit the quarter following target development). The graph displays the adjusted TCOC PMPM (bar height) as compared to the IHP s adjusted target PMPM (black tick marks). The bars change color to indicate whether an IHP is in a gain share/loss position for each measurement period. Gain share: Adjusted TCOC PMPM > 2% below the Target - GREEN No savings or losses: Adjusted TCOC PMPM within ±2% of the Target - YELLOW Loss share: Adjusted TCOC PMPM > 2% above the Target - RED The dashboard also includes a chart that shows the IHP s performance reflected as a percentage (Adjusted TCOC PMPM / Target). The most recent performance is illustrated in the key performance indicator (displayed as a dial). TCOC Reports Major Category of Service Cost Trend The Major Category of Service Cost Trend report is updated every quarter using DHS Medicaid enrollment and claims/encounter data. It shows the unadjusted PMPM for services included in the IHP s TCOC by major category of service: Inpatient, Outpatient, Pharmacy, Professional, MH/CD, and Other. The report also includes a graph showing the proportional breakdown of the total TCOC by major service category. Data is displayed for measurement periods as early as the IHP has been in existence. IHP RFP Revised - July 13,
35 I. TCOC Summary The TCOC Summary report is generated every quarter using DHS Medicaid enrollment and claims/encounter data. The data used comes directly from the DHS data warehouse and represents finalized, paid claims and encounters for the designated measurement period. This report displays the total claims and PMPM by major service category for the included and excluded services. In general, the inclusion or exclusion criteria are based on the DHS detailed service category definitions, and all services falling into the detailed service categories (e.g. anesthesia) are either included or excluded from the TCOC calculation. Certain services are excluded from the TCOC for purposes of developing the targets and determining the financial results for the measurement period. Included and excluded services may differ across IHPs; included services are specified within individual IHP contracts. The report allows users to display results- aggregated for the entire IHP attributed population, All Members, and the population excluding members with third party liability (TPL),- TPL Members Excluded. Category of Service The seven major service category classifications (inpatient, outpatient facility, etc.) are based on the definitions in DHS s data. The Inpatient, Outpatient facility, Professional, and Pharmacy claims are based on the DHS data warehouse major service category definitions, while the Long Term Care (LTC) and Mental Health / Chemical Dependency (MH/CD) and Other categories are carved out of the higher level categories based on DHS detailed service category definitions. For example, the LTC claims may include services that are administered on an inpatient, outpatient facility or professional basis, but are defined as LTC due to the specific nature of the service. Because of their cost magnitude and the fact that these services are not included in the TCOC, LTC services are shown separately from the remainder of the claim cost components in the table. Relative Risk The relative risk scores are developed using the category-specific ACG risk weights (MCO vs. SNBC and FFS) based on 2012 claim costs. II. Cost by Detailed Category of Service The Cost by Detailed Category of Service report is generated every quarter using DHS Medicaid enrollment and claims/encounter data. The data used comes directly from the DHS data warehouse and represents finalized, paid claims and encounters for the designated measurement period. This report shows the detailed service category breakdown, the amount of claims and PMPM for each detailed category of service, and whether the claims are included or excluded from the TCOC. The report has 3 separate views: claims paid to providers inside the IHP, claims paid to providers outside the IHP, and all claims paid. Only detailed service categories containing paid amounts display in the table. The report allows users to display results aggregated for the entire IHP attributed population All Members and the population excluding members with third party liability (TPL), TPL Members Excluded. With the exception of mental health, chemical dependency, and uncategorized" service categories, all claims within the category are either included or excluded from the TCOC. For mental health and chemical dependency services (categories 046 and 062), the total included and excluded services are shown as two separate lines on the exhibit. As part of the target development process, DHS reviewed the uncategorized services (category 999) in the claim files to determine which claims should be included or excluded from the TCOC. Based on this review many of these services were ultimately determined to be equivalent to other services included in the TCOC (inpatient, professional chemical dependency, etc.). Although these services are shown as "uncategorized" in the exhibit, the inpatient IHP RFP Revised - July 13,
36 III. IV. and MHCD claims could reasonably be categorized as "001 Inpatient General Hospital" and "062 CD Consolidated Treatment Fund" respectively. Inside vs. Outside Summary The Inside vs. Outside Summary report is generated every quarter using DHS Medicaid enrollment and claims/encounter data. The data used comes directly from the DHS data warehouse and represents finalized, paid claims and encounters for the designated measurement period. The report shows the total claims that were paid to providers "inside and outside" of the IHP. For some IHPs, their submitted provider rosters do not contain all providers "inside" their system. For example, an NPI for an owned pharmacy or hospitals may not be included under the expectation that no eligible E&M visits will be paid to that hospital s NPI. The list of pay-to-provider identifiers (TIN and NPIs) as previously submitted by the IHPs were used. Because these breakdowns are based on the pay-to-provider TIN and/or NPIs submitted to DHS by the IHPs, the totals on this report rely on their accuracy and completeness. As always, participating IHPs are encouraged to continue to review the information submitted and provide updates to DHS if they wish to expand or refine the group of associated entities that are included in the "Paid to IHP" totals. The report allows users to display results aggregated for the entire IHP attributed population All Members and the population excluding members with third party liability (TPL), TPL Members Excluded. Paid to IHP Information based on provider lists developed from IHP-submitted Tax Identification Numbers (TINs). Included vs. Excluded Drilldown The Included vs. Excluded Drilldown report is generated every quarter using DHS Medicaid enrollment and claims/encounter data. The data used comes directly from the DHS data warehouse and represents finalized, paid claims and encounters for the same measurement period as all other TCOC reports. It shows a detailed breakdown of claim paid amounts and number of claims incurred by the Inclusion Status (Included in TCOC vs. Excluded from TCOC) and Location ( Inside vs. Outside or Paid to IHP vs. Paid Outside IHP). The report includes drill-down capabilities (user can expand each major category of service to see claim information for detailed categories of service). Claim Cap Cost Distribution The Claim Cap Cost Distribution report is generated every quarter using DHS Medicaid enrollment and claims/encounter data. The data used comes directly from the DHS data warehouse and represents finalized, paid claims and encounters for the designated measurement period. The report summarizes the member counts and total incurred claims for specific claim cost bands and demonstrates the impact of the claim cap thresholds and the PMPM difference between the total claim costs and the costs below the contracted claim cap. The "Cap Level" shown in the report represents the lower point of the cost band, and the "Claims Above the Cap Level" represent the cap level impact for the members that fall within that cost band. "Total $$ Above the Cap Level" shows the additional impact of the members with claims above the high end of the cost band and demonstrates the cumulative impact of the cap levels. The report allows users to display results aggregated for the entire IHP attributed population All Members and the population excluding members with third party liability (TPL), TPL Members Excluded. Claims Above Cap Level The combined claims above the Cap Level for all members whose claims fall within the cost band. IHP RFP Revised - July 13,
37 Total Above Cap Level The claims above the Cap Level for all members whose claims fall within and above the cost band. V. TCOC by Member Program The TCOC by Member Program report is generated every quarter using DHS Medicaid enrollment and claims/encounter data. The data used comes directly from the DHS data warehouse and represents finalized, paid claims and encounters for the designated measurement period. This report shows the relative claim cost and risk for the primary population segment breakdowns of the attributed population (FFS, SNBC and MCO-enrolled members). FFS members are defined as those who were enrolled in FFS throughout their entire enrollment period and the SNBC members are defined as those enrolled in SNBC at some point during the year. In 2012, all SNBC members were enrolled in managed care, but their claim utilization and relative risk indicate they should be analyzed separately from the remainder of the MCO-enrolled population and grouped with the FFS members for purposes of developing the risk weights. The report allows users to display results aggregated for the entire IHP attributed population All Members and the population excluding members with third party liability (TPL), TPL Members Excluded. SNBC Members Members enrolled in SNBC at some point in their enrollment period. MCO Members Non-SNBC members enrolled in an MCO at some point during their entire enrollment period. Members enrolled in both FFS and an MCO are included in the MCO totals, so long as they did not have SNBC enrollment during the year. FFS Members Members enrolled in FFS throughout their entire enrollment period TCOC by Member Category Drilldown The TCOC by Member Category Drilldown report is generated every quarter using DHS Medicaid enrollment and claims/encounter data. The data used comes directly from the DHS data warehouse and represents finalized, paid claims and encounters for the same measurement period as all other TCOC reports. It shows a detailed breakdown of claim paid amounts and number of claims incurred by member program: SNBC, MCO, and FFS. The report includes drill-down capabilities (user can expand Major Category of Service to see claim information for Detailed Category of Service). Care Coordination Reports Care Management Report The Care Management Report mirrors the Comprehensive Patient Clinical Profile Report available from John Hopkins ACG System. The report is generated monthly using DHS Medicaid enrollment and claims/encounter data. It allows users to filter results by IHP Clinic. The areas addressed and the questions this report is able to inform include: Is this recipient potentially in need of better care coordination?

45 Utilization Reports Inpatient and ED Trends by IHP The Inpatient and ED Trends by IHP report is generated every quarter using DHS Medicaid enrollment and claims/encounter data. It displays a risk adjusted hospitalization rate and risk adjusted emergency department rate trend as it compares to the Benchmark population. Data for measurement periods up to Apr 13 - Mar 14 were gathered 6 months following the end of the period, while data for all measurement periods after March 2014 are gathered 3 months following the end of the measurement period. The difference in claim lag may result in artificially lower rates for the most recent measurement periods as opposed to the earlier measurement periods. Hospitalization Rate The hospitalization rate is based upon the ACG count of inpatient events occurring within the observation period which excludes admissions with a primary diagnosis for pregnancy, delivery, newborns, and injuries. Transfers made within and between providers count as a single hospitalization event. The hospitalization rate is reflected per 1,000 of the IHP s attributed population. ED Rate The ED Rate is the number of emergency room visits that did not lead to a subsequent acute care inpatient hospitalization during the observation period, reflected per 1,000 members of the IHP s attributed population. The ED count is calculated as part of the ACG definition which considers place of service, procedure code, and revenue code to identify emergency room visits. Risk Adjustment Methodology In order to compare utilization rates among IHPs and the benchmark population, DHS used ACG risk weights, customized by program categories (FFS+SNBC and MCO), in order to adjust for differences in aggregate risk among these populations. Although the aggregate relative risk between populations may not be fully applicable to the relative risk differential for an individual utilization rate (i.e. a population with a 10% higher overall TCOC risk, could have a different relative risk for inpatient admissions), these utilization adjustment factors should provide a reasonable, high-level way for the IHPs to understand how their population risk may be impacting their observed utilization relative to the benchmark. The risk adjustment factor is produced by first calculating the average risk scores for the individual IHPs and the overall benchmark population, based on the Category Specific ACG weights (FFS+SNBC vs. MCO) used for the IHP performance measurement and quarterly reporting. Using the risk score for the benchmark population as a reference point, the IHP utilization adjustment factors are calculated based upon the ratio between the IHP risk score and the benchmark risk score. The utilization factor represents the difference in IHP risk relative to the benchmark. For example, an IHP risk score of 1.26 and a benchmark risk score of 1.17 results in an adjustment factor of 1.08 (1.26 / 1.17 = 1.08). This factor is used to adjust the IHP utilization by dividing the unadjusted rate by the adjustment factor. Using the example above, an IHP unadjusted inpatient hospitalization rate of 85.0 per 1,000 members, results in an adjusted rate of 78.7 per 1,000 (85 / 1.08 = 78.7). Inpatient and ED Trends by Clinic The Inpatient and ED Trends by Clinic report is generated every quarter using DHS Medicaid enrollment and claims/encounter data. It displays a risk adjusted hospitalization rate and risk adjusted emergency department rate trend for an IHP clinic as it compares to the Benchmark population and IHP population. Clinics are ranked within an IHP based on their risk adjusted rates in a given measurement period. IHP RFP Revised - July 13,
46 Members are attributed to the clinic within an IHP where the most recent E&M visit occurred. Clinics whose population was less than 100 members for all measurement periods are excluded from the analysis. **Results for some clinics are unreliable due to drastic population fluctuations and small population sizes (clinics whose population > 100 for one measurement period are still included in the analysis even if their population drops dramatically in subsequent periods); in some cases clinics have no attributed members for a given measurement period. Data for measurement periods up to Apr 13 - Mar 14 were gathered 6 months following the end of the period, while data for all measurement periods after March 2014 are gathered 3 months following the end of the measurement period. The difference in claim lag may result in artificially lower rates for the most recent measurement periods as opposed to the earlier measurement periods. The same methodology is used to produce risk scores for an individual IHP clinic as it is for IHPs. The IHP ED Rate and IHP Hospitalization Rate are both risk adjusted and should match the risk adjusted rates in the Inpatient and ED Trends by IHP report. Pharmacy Summary - Utilization The Pharmacy Summary - Utilization report is generated every quarter using DHS Medicaid enrollment and claims/encounter data. The report displays the total number of prescriptions aggregated by drug class and individual drug (grouped by generic drug name). Analysis excludes over the counter prescriptions and compound drugs, but the paid amount, % of included TCOC, and Rx PMPM in the summary chart at the top of the report are calculated using all pharmacy claims and should match the pharmacy paid amount and PMPM on the TCOC Summary report. Generic vs. Brand Name Drugs are classified as generic or not based on an indicator - drug NDC (National Drug Classification) codes with a missing indicator value are classified as generic. Drug Class Drug groupings based on the AHFS (American Hospital Formulary Service) - Therapeutic Classification Pharmacy Summary - Spend The Pharmacy Summary - Spend report is generated every quarter using DHS Medicaid enrollment and claims/encounter data. The report displays prescription costs aggregated by drug class, individual drug, and specialty drug. Analysis excludes over the counter prescriptions and compound drugs, but the paid amount, % of Included TCOC, and Rx PMPM in the summary chart at the top of the report are calculated using all pharmacy claims and should match the pharmacy paid amount on the TCOC Summary report.

All HEDIS measures are limited to enrollees who were attributed to an IHP in April following the measurement year, using claims for services provided during the calendar year. For example, measurement year 2013 would include members attributed in April 2014 for claims incurred during calendar year The report includes HEDIS measures for an individual IHP as well as an aggregated measure based on the entire IHP population - All IHPs. IHPs joining the demonstration after 2013 will still see data aggregated measures even if their individual scores for that year are not included. For more specific information on any measure, refer to the NCQA publication Technical Specifications for Health Plans, HEDIS 2014 Volume 2. Adults Access to Preventive/Ambulatory Health Services 1) This measure shows the percentage of members 20 years and older who had an ambulatory or preventive care visit during the measurement year. 2) This report follows HEDIS 2014, Volume 2 specifications with the exception that inpatient professional and emergency room claims were excluded. 3) Highlights of the HEDIS specifications are as follows: Limited to ages 20 and older as of December 31 of the measurement year. The denominator is the number of members meeting eligibility criteria. The numerator is the number members having received an ambulatory or preventive care visit during the measurement year. 4) There were HEDIS 2014 changes to this measure: Coding changes for Ambulatory Visits. Coding tables removed from the technical specifications and replaced coding table references with value set references. Adolescent Well Care visits 1) This measure shows the percentage of enrolled members years of age who had at least one comprehensive well care visit with a primary care practitioner (PCP) or an OB/GYN practitioner during the measurement year. 2) This report follows HEDIS 2014, Volume 2 specifications. However, DHS does not have a single code designating a provider as a PCP or OB/GYN provider. Instead a provider was classified as a PCP or OB/GYN if: One or more of 8 HEDIS-specified procedure codes, or 7 HEDIS-specified diagnosis codes was used, and The pay-to-provider type or the treating-provider type had any of a list of codes considered to encompass primary care practice or OB/GYN practice. 3) Highlights of the HEDIS specifications are as follows: IHP RFP Revised - July 13,
48 Adolescents were defined as members aged 12 through 21 on December 31 of the measurement year. For calculating the percentage, the numerator was the number of members who had 1 or more visits and the denominator was the number of members who met eligibility criteria. 4) Certain changes were made to this HEDIS measure for Report Year 2014, as follows: Five CPT codes (99381, 99382, 99391, 99392, and 99461) were added to the list of codes that help to define a visit as a visit to PCP. Three ICD-9 codes (V20.3, V20.31, and V20.32) were added to the list of codes that help to define a visit as a visit to a PCP. The means of identifying a provider as a PCP was revised to add pay-to provider type 33 ( consolidated provider ) to the list of providers that, if all other criteria were met, qualified the provider to be classified as a PCP. This revision causes a slight increase in the count of visits and hence the numerator, and the AWC performance rate, will increase somewhat compared to prior years. Breast Cancer Screening for Women 1) The BCS measure shows the percentage of women years of age who had a mammogram to screen for breast cancer. 2) This report follows HEDIS 2014, Volume 2 specifications except DHS does not have any modifier codes larger than two digits, so modifier code listed in the Bilateral Modifier Value Set is not included. 3) Highlights of the HEDIS specifications are as follows: Limited to women years as of December 31 of the measurement year 4) Certain changes were made to this HEDIS measure for Report Year 2014, as follows: The age criterion is revised to women years of age The numerator time frame is revised to one or more mammograms any time on or between October 1 two years prior to the measurement year and December 31 of the measurement year. Coding tables are removed and replaced with value set references. Children and Adolescents Access to Primary Care Practitioners 1) This measure shows the percentage of members 12 months to 19 years of age who had a visit with a Primary Care Practitioner (PCP). Four separate percentages were reported: Children months who had a visit with a PCP during the measurement year Children 25 months-6 years who had a visit with a PCP during the measurement year Children 7-11 who had a visit with a PCP during the measurement year or the year prior to the measurement year Adolescents who had a visit with a PCP during the measurement year or the year prior to the measurement year 2) This report followed HEDIS 2014 (Volume 2) specifications. Highlights of the HEDIS specifications are as follows: Limited to ages 12 months to 19 years as of December 31 of the measurement year IHP RFP Revised - July 13,
49 The numerator was the count of members included in the denominator who had an ambulatory or preventive care visit to any PCP. 3) Certain changes were made to this HEDIS measure for Report Year 2014, as follows: Four CPT codes (99386, 99387, 99396, and 99397) were added to the list of codes that help to define a visit as a visit to PCP. One HCPCS code (G0402) was added to the list of codes that help to define a visit as a visit to a PCP. Nineteen new Revenue Codes [0982, 0983, and 0510 through 0529, excluding 0518, 0523, 0524, and 0525)] were added to the list of codes that help to define a visit as a visit to PCP. Note especially: New programming code was added to classify a provider as a Primary Care Provider. Since no such attempt had been made to do this prior to 2014, the new programming language in 2014 has the effect of restricting somewhat the number of visits classified as visits to a PCP. This causes the count of such visits to go down, and hence the numerator, and the CAP performance rate, will decrease somewhat compared to prior years. Cervical Cancer Screening 1) This measure shows the percentage of women age 24 to 64 who were screened for cervical cancer using the two step criteria described in 2a below. 2) This report follows HEDIS 2014, Volume 2 specifications. Highlights of the HEDIS specifications are as follows: First identify women years of age as of December 31 of the measurement year who had cervical cytology during the measurement year or the two years prior to the measurement year. For those women who don t meet the first criteria, identify women age 30 to 64 years of age as of December 31 of the measurement year who had cervical cytology and a HPV test with service dates four of fewer days apart during the measurement year or the four years prior to the measurement year. Steps 1 and 2 are summed to obtain the rate for the measure. The numerator contains all women who had one or more Pap tests during the measurement year or during the two years prior to that year. The denominator contains all women who meet the criteria listed in the first bullet with the exception of those who had previously received a total hysterectomy. 3) HEDIS 2014 specification deleted the following CPT and ICD9PC codes, respectively: 88155, Chlamydia Screening in Women 1) This measure shows the percentage of women years of age who were identified as sexually active and who had at least one test for chlamydia during the measurement year. 2) This report followed HEDIS 2014, Volume 2 specifications. Highlights of the HEDIS specifications are as follows: Limited to ages as of December 31 of the measurement year. IHP RFP Revised - July 13,
50 Pharmacy data and claim/encounter data were used to identify the eligible population (denominator) during each measurement year. However, a member was eligible for the measure if they received contraceptives or had an encounter with a sexually active CPT, HCPCS, ICD-9 Diagnosis, ICD-9 Procedure or UB Revenue code The numerator included women who had at least one chlamydia test with a service date within the measurement year. A woman could only be counted once in each measurement year The HEDIS optional exclusion removed members who had a pregnancy test during the measurement year followed within seven days by either isotretinoin (Accutane) or an x-ray. This exclusion only applied to the members who were included in the denominator by the pregnancy test alone NDC codes and medication lists to identify contraceptives and exclusions were obtained from NCQA 3) Changes to the CHL measure for HEDIS 2014 include the deletion of the following CPT codes for sexual activity: and The following CPT codes were deleted for diagnostic radiology: 71090, 73542, 75722, 75724, and Childhood Immunization Status 1) This measure shows the percentage of children 2 years of age who had four diphtheria, tetanus and acellular pertussis (DTaP); three polio (IPV); one measles, mumps and rubella (MMR); three H influenza type B (HiB); three hepatitis B (HepB), one chicken pox (VZV); four pneumococcal conjugate (PCV); one hepatitis A (HepA); two or three rotavirus (RV); and two influenza (flu) vaccines by their second birthday. The measure calculates a rate for each vaccine and nine separate combination rates. 2) This report follows HEDIS 2014, Volume 2 specifications. Highlights of the HEDIS specifications are as follows: Limited to children who turn 2 years of age as of December 31 of the measurement year. The denominator is the same for Combination Vaccinations 2 through Combination Vaccinations 10. 3) Certain changes were made to this HEDIS measure for Report Year 2014, as follows: Removed coding tables and replaced all coding table references with value set references. Codes deleted for DTaP (99.39 ICD9PCS), Influenza (99.52 ICD9PCS), IPV (99.41 ICD9PCS), Measles (99.45 ICD9PCS), MMR (99.48 ICD9PCS), Mumps (99.46 ICDPCS), and Rubella (99.47 ICD9PCS). 4) Immunization records from the DHS Data Warehouse are supplemented with the Minnesota Department of Health immunization records. Follow up after Hospitalization for Mental Illness 1) This measure shows the percentage of discharges for members 6 years of age and older who were hospitalized for treatment of selected mental health disorders and who had an outpatient visit, an intensive outpatient encounter or partial hospitalization with a mental health practitioner. Two rates are reported: IHP RFP Revised - July 13,
51 The percentage of discharges for which the member received follow up within 30 days of discharge The percentage discharges for which the member received follow up within 7 days of discharge 2) This report follows HEDIS 2014, Volume 2 specifications. Highlights of the HEDIS specifications are as follows: The denominator was defined as an event. In order to count as an event, the recipient must have been discharged alive from an acute inpatient setting (including acute care psychiatric facilities) with a principal mental health diagnosis on or between January 1 and December 1 of the measurement year. The denominator for this measure was based on discharges, not members. If a given member had more than one discharge, all discharges were included if between January 1 and December 1 of the measurement year. Discharges were excluded when there were certain kinds of mental health related readmissions and/or certain non-mental health re-admissions within 30 days. Subsequent mental health discharges were then eligible to be used as events as long as they were prior to December 1st of the measurement year and as long as they were not followed by excluded re-admissions within 30 days. 3) Changes for 2014: Add CPT codes 90791, 90792, 90832, 90833, 90834, 90836, 90837, 90838, 90839, Appropriate Treatment for Children with Upper Respiratory Infection 1) The URI measure shows the percentage of children 3 months 18 years of age who were given a diagnosis of upper URI and were not dispensed an antibiotic. 2) This report follows HEDIS 2014, Volume 2 specifications. Highlights of the HEDIS specifications are as follows: Limited to children 3 months of age as of July 1 of the year prior to the measurement year to 18 years of age as June 30 of the measurement year. Eligible outpatient or emergency department visits with a diagnosis of URI are limited to a 12-month window that begins on July 1 of the year prior to the measurement year and ends on June 30 of the measurement year. 3) There were no HEDIS 2014 changes to this measure. Well-Child Visits in the First 15 Months of Life 1) This measure shows the percentage of children who turned 15 months old during the measurement year and who had 6 or more well-child visits with a Primary Care Practitioner (PCP) during their first 15 months of life. 2) This report follows HEDIS 2014, Volume 2, technical specifications. However, the following issue may be noted: MHCP does not have a single code designating a provider as a PCP provider. Instead a provider was treated as a PCP if: IHP RFP Revised - July 13,
52 o o One or more of the HEDIS-specified procedure codes or diagnosis codes was used, AND The pay-to or treating provider had any of a list of codes considered to encompass primary care practice. The HEDIS specs call for calculating the percentage of children who had zero, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 or more well-child visits. For MHCP purposes only the last percentage (children with 6 or more visits) is calculated. 3) Highlights of the HEDIS specifications are as follows: Limited to children who turned 15 months old during the measurement year. For calculating the percentage, the numerator was the number of members who had 6 or more visits between their date of birth and their 15-month-old date, and the denominator was the number of members who met eligibility criteria above. 4) Certain changes were made to this HEDIS measure for Report Year 2014, as follows: Six CPT codes (99383, 99384, 99385, 99393, 99394, and 99395) were added to the list of procedure codes that help to define a visit as a visit to PCP. The means of identifying a provider as a PCP was revised to add pay-to provider type 33 ( consolidated provider ) to the list of providers that, if all other criteria were met, qualified the provider to be classified as a PCP. This revision causes a slight increase in the count of visits, and hence the numerator, and the W15 performance rate, will increase somewhat compared to prior years. Well-Child Visits in the Third, Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Years of Life (W34) 1) The W34 measure shows the percentage of enrolled members 3-6 years of age who had one or more well-child visits with a PCP during the measurement year. 2) This report follows HEDIS 2014, Volume 2, technical specifications. However the following issues may be noted: MHCP does not have a single code designating a provider as a PCP provider. Instead a provider was treated as a PCP if: o One or more of the HEDIS-specified procedure codes or diagnosis codes was used, AND o The pay-to or treating provider had any of a list of codes considered to encompass primary care practice. 3) Highlights of the HEDIS specifications are as follows: Limited to children 3, 4, 5 or 6 years old on December 31 of the measurement year. For calculating the percentage, the numerator was the number of members who had 1 or more visits and the denominator was the number of members who met the eligibility criteria above. 4) Certain changes were made to this HEDIS measure for Report Year 2014, as follows: Seven CPT codes (99381, 99384, 99385, 99391, 99394, 99395, and 99461) were added to the list of procedure codes that help to define a visit as a visit to PCP. Three ICD-9 codes (V20.3, V20.31, and V20.32) were added to the list of procedure codes that help to define a visit as a visit to PCP. IHP RFP Revised - July 13,

81 ATTACHMENT A: Patient Attribution Method 1.1 Summary. This document further describes the STATE s method of how a recipient in the MHCP FFS program or a managed care organization enrollee is assigned to the IHP Attributed Population as an Attributed Patient. 1.2 Definitions. For the purposes of this Attachment: (A) Capitalized terms in this Attachment take the same meanings as in the Contract. (B) E&M refers to Evaluation and Management coding. (C) HCPCS refers to the HCFA Common Procedural Coding System. (D) Non-IHP provider means a provider not listed on a Roster submitted by an IHP. 1.3 Patients. Patients must have had at least one visit or encounter with a Roster provider during the Performance Period and such visit must be have been paid to a billing entity on the Roster to be eligible for Attribution. Certain populations are categorically excluded from the IHP model (for example, persons with dual eligibility), and are removed from the pool of MHCP Recipients who can be attributed (see Attachment G Eligible and Excluded Populations ). Attribution is based on E&M visit counts in a twelve (12) month period of a Patient s claim history. Patients who have less than six (6) months of continuous enrollment in qualifying programs or less than nine (9) total months of enrollment in qualifying programs are excluded from Attribution. Throughout the course of the Performance Period, a Patient s attribution status (either among IHPs or to no IHP) may change as the Patient s utilization pattern changes. 1.4 Attribution Steps. Once the exclusion process is completed to determine the base population eligible for Attribution, the Attribution process counts qualifying visits for each MHCP Recipient across providers on all the IHP Rosters and compares the total claim counts at each IHP to those at non-ihp providers. In performing the comparisons, there are four steps evaluated in the following order: (1) Health Care Home (HCH) claims; (2) E&M procedures by a Primary Care Provider; and (3) E&M procedures by a Specialty Provider; and (4) Tie Breaking Step. As the algorithm progresses, a MHCP recipient is either definitively assigned to an IHP and not evaluated in subsequent steps, determined to be not attributable to any IHP for this period, or passed to the next step in the Attribution decision process.

92 ATTACHMENT D: Settlement Process 201X Base Year 1.1 Summary. IHP performance will be measured against a Total Cost of Care target, derived from the IHP historical performance and adjusted for changes in population risk and expected trend. If the performance threshold in section 1.5 is met, and upon applicable federal approval, all Shared Savings or Shared Losses will be shared (i.e., first dollar) based upon the agreed-upon distribution between DHS and IHP described in Attachment D-1, IHP- Specific Settlement Process, subject to reductions determined by Attachment F, Quality and Patient Experience (and Attachment F-1, IHP Specific Measures, if applicable). 1.2 Definitions. (A) Capitalized terms in this Attachment take the same meanings as in the Contract. (B) Base Period means the period covering dates of service beginning January 1, 2013 and ending December 31, [Dates are illustrative and will change to reflect the actual contract awarded.] (C) Performance Period 1 means the period covering dates of service beginning January 1, 2014 and ending December 31, (D) Performance Period 2 means the period covering dates of service beginning January 1, 2015 and ending December 31, (E) Performance Period 3 means the period covering dates of service beginning January 1, 2016 and ending December 31, (F) Caps or cap means thresholds to adjust the PMPM results for catastrophic cases as follows: (1) 1,000 to 1,999 Attributed Patients in the IHP = $50,000 maximum annual claims per Patient; or (2) 2,000 to 4,999 Attributed Patients in the IHP = $200,000 maximum annual claims per Patient; or (3) 5,000 or more Attributed Patients in the IHP = $200,000 or $500,000 maximum annual claims per Patient. 1.3 Total Cost of Care (TCOC) Performance Assessment Process. Because the Attributed Population will change from the Base Period to the Performance Period(s), the STATE will adjust the Total Cost of Care target for changes in the Attributed Population and illness burden (i.e., population risk score) Base Period. ATTACHMENT D: SETTLEMENT
93 (A) Base Period Attributed Population: DHS will attribute patients to an IHP using retrospective claims and MCO encounter data available to DHS consistent with section 1.4(A). (B) Base Period Total Cost of Care (Base TCOC): (1) DHS will calculate the retrospective per patient per month (PMPM) TCOC for the Base Period Attributed Population. (2) The Base TCOC will be based on the core services outlined in Attachment E, Core Services. The services included in the TCOC may not change except under a contract amendment. (3) Claim costs for an Attributed Patient that fall outside of caps in 1.2(F) above will be capped to adjust the PMPM results for catastrophic cases. (C) Base Period Risk Score: (1) Based on the services included in the Base TCOC, a risk score will be developed for the Attributed Population to reflect the relative risk of the population. (2) DHS will use the ACG risk adjustment tool and develop category-specific risk weights based on the aggregate claims experience of the MHCP population who are eligible for attribution. In addition to developing weights based exclusively on the services included in the Base TCOC, the weights will be developed using the claim caps to adjust the weights and reduce the impact of catastrophic cases. (D) Expected Trend: (1) DHS will develop an expected trend rate for the Total Cost of Care based on the same unit cost and utilization trend rates used to develop the annual expected cost increases for the aggregate MHCP population. (2) Appropriate adjustments will be made for services excluded from the Base TCOC or other factors that are applicable to the Total Cost of Care and goals of the program. (E) Total Cost of Care Target (TCOC Target): The TCOC Target PMPM for the Performance Period will be developed based on the Base TCOC and the expected trend Performance Period. (A) Performance Period Total Cost of Care (Performance TCOC): (1) At the end of a Performance Period, DHS will calculate the Performance Period TCOC PMPM for the Performance Period Attributed Population. ATTACHMENT D: SETTLEMENT
94 (2) Claim costs for an Attributed Patient that fall outside of caps in 1.2(F) above will be capped to adjust the PMPM results for catastrophic cases. (B) Performance Period Risk Score: Based on the services included in the Total Cost of Care, a risk score will be developed for the Performance Period Attributed Population to reflect their relative risk. The risk weights will be based on the aggregate MHCP population s claims experience, based exclusively on the services included in the Total Cost of Care, and developed using the claim caps in 1.2(F) above to adjust the weights for catastrophic cases. (C) Adjusted Total Cost of Care Target (Adj. TCOC Target): (1) The Target TCOC will be adjusted based on the increase or decrease in the risk of the Attributed Populations (i.e., the change in the population risk from the Base Period to the Performance Period). (2) The Adjusted TCOC Target will be compared to the Performance Period TCOC for purposes of determining the performance results and the basis for any financial settlement. 1.4 Settlement Timing and Information. (A) Each performance period will result in the calculation of Interim Payment and Final Payment by the STATE for purposes of integrating sufficient Claims Runout information into the final Shared Savings and Shared Losses calculation. The Interim Payment will be calculated within five (5) months from the end of the Performance Period using up to three (3) months of Claims Run-out. The Final Payment will be calculated within seventeen (17) months of the end of the Performance Period using a minimum of twelve (12) months of Claims Run-out. (B) The Interim Payment will be calculated no later than five (5) months following the end of the Performance Period based on: (1) The final Base Period TCOC based on the claims incurred during the Base Period by the Attributed Population in the final Base Period Attributed Population. (2) The interim Performance Period TCOC based on the claims incurred during the Performance Period by the Attributed Population in the interim Performance Period Attributed Population. (3) The change in risk between the final Base Period Risk Score for the Attributed Population in the final Base Period Attributed Population and the interim Performance Period Risk Score for the Attributed Population in the interim Performance Period Attributed Population. (4) The Base Period TCOC will be adjusted for trend and the change in the Base Period Risk Score and the Performance Period Risk Score to develop the interim ATTACHMENT D: SETTLEMENT
95 Adjusted Target. The interim Adjusted Target will be compared to the interim Performance Period TCOC for purposes of calculating the settlement amount. (C) The Final Payment will be calculated no later than seventeen (17) months following the end of the performance period based on: (1) The final Base Period TCOC based on the claims incurred during the Base Period by the Attributed Population in the final Base Period Attributed Population. (2) The final Performance Period TCOC based on the claims incurred during the Performance Period by the Attributed Population in the final Performance Period Attributed Population. (3) The change in risk between the final Base Period Risk Score for the Attributed Population in the final Base Period Attributed Population and the final Performance Period Risk Score for the Attributed Population in the final Performance Period Attributed Population. (4) The Base Period TCOC will be adjusted for trend and the change in the Base Period Risk Score and the Performance Period Risk Score to develop the Final Adjusted Target. The Final Adjusted Target will be compared to the final Performance Period TCOC for purposes of calculating the Final Payment. 1.5 Performance Thresholds. A two percent (2%) minimum performance threshold must be met prior to any Shared Savings or Shared Losses. (A) For an integrated IHP, the Performance TCOC must be above 102% or below 98% of the Adjusted TCOC Target for Shared Losses or Shared Savings payments to occur. (B) For a virtual IHP, the Performance TCOC must be below 98% of the Adjusted TCOC Target for Shared Savings payments to occur. ATTACHMENT D: SETTLEMENT

122 1.5 Cumulative Calculation Methods Awarding of Points (A) Reporting. For Performance Period 1, the IHP shall be awarded two (2) points for each measure listed in section 1.3. For each measure, the two (2) points shall be reducible by the percent of IHP Participants not reporting the quality measure in the manner specified in section 1.3. (B) Aggregating clinic-level results and hospital-level results. An IHP quality measure result will be determined for each quality measure by summing the numerators and denominators of multiple clinic-level results or hospital-level results, as applicable. (C) Performance. For Performance Periods 2 and 3, the IHP rate for each measure listed in section 1.3 shall be assessed for both achievement and improvement and the score for each measure will be the greater of the achievement or improvement score as defined below. For each measure, the points awarded shall be reducible by the percent of IHP Participants not reporting the quality measure in the manner specified in section 1.3. (1) Achievement. Each measure shall be assessed against a defined minimum attainment threshold and an upper threshold. For each measure that meets or exceeds the upper threshold, two (2) points shall be awarded. For each measure that is below the minimum attainment threshold, zero (0) points shall be awarded. For each measure that meets or exceeds the minimum attainment threshold and is below the upper threshold, between one (1) and two (2) points shall be awarded, according to the following ranges: Percentile Points Awarded 30 th -< 40 th th - < 50 th th - < 60th th - < 70 th th - < 80 th 1.8 The STATE will notify IHP, before the beginning of the Performance Period, by publishing on the DHS public website the minimum attainment and upper preliminary thresholds. The STATE will notify the IHP of final thresholds upon calculation using the data based on the most recent Quality Measurement Period. ATTACHMENT G: POPULATIONS
123 (2) Improvement. (a) Each measure shall be assessed against a Baseline rate. For each measure that has a ten percent (10%) or more Relative Improvement compared to the Baseline rate, the IHP shall be awarded two (2) points. For each measure that has less than a five percent (5%) Relative Improvement compared to the Baseline rate, the IHP shall be awarded zero (0) points. For each measure that has five percent (5%) or more and less than ten percent (10%) Relative Improvement compared to the Baseline rate, between one (1) and two (2) points shall be awarded according to the following ranges: Percent (%) Relative Improvement Points Awarded 5% - < 6% 1.0 6% - < 7% 1.2 7% - < 8% 1.4 8% - < 9% 1.6 9% - < 10% 1.8 Example calculation: Performance Period 1 (Baseline) rate = 25% Performance Period 2 rate achieved = 28% (28% - 25% = 3% Absolute Improvement; 3% 25% = 12% Relative Improvement) Improvement points earned for measure = 2 points (b) If a measure specification changes in a way that would make a year-to-year comparison statistically invalid, such as a change in the clinical target value (for example, most recent HbA1c value changes from <8.0 to <7.0 for the Optimal Diabetes Care Measure from one measurement period to the next) awarding points based on improvement will not be available for that measure. (D) For all Performance Periods, the total points earned by IHP in each measure category shall be summed and divided by the total points available for that category to produce an overall category score of the percentage of points earned versus points available for the Performance Period. The points score shall be converted to an overall quality score, considering the weights listed below and in section above. (Rest of page intentionally left blank.) ATTACHMENT G: POPULATIONS
