1 CMS MA Star Ratings Work Group Discussion Forum 2016 First Plan Preview Period August 11, 2015

2 2016 CMS Star Ratings Updates 2

3 Methodology Changes to the Overall Star Rating For a few years CMS has expressed concerns about the misclassification of true performance. They are removing the pre-determined thresholds for the 2016 star ratings Provided contract-specific information based on this year s data through HPMS 83% of contracts had no change, 7% went up 0.5 stars and 10% went down 0.5 stars ACHP has updated its Gap Analysis to reflect the simulated thresholds and also created measure distribution charts 3

4 Improving or Maintaining Physical Health Star Rating Red line indicates a predetermined threshold. 4

5 Improving or Maintaining Physical Health Star Rating

6 Improving or Maintaining Mental Health Star Rating Red line indicates a predetermined threshold. 6

10 Measure Specification Changes Part C Controlling Blood Pressure Timely Appeals Decisions All-Cause Readmissions Osteoporosis Management Part D Appeals Auto-forward and Upheld Medication Adherence Obsolete NCDs Part C & D Complaints about the Plan Quality Improvement CAHPS 10

11 CAHPS Measure Star Rating Assignment Changes Prior to 2015, low reliability scores could not receive 1 or 5 stars. Starting in 2015, Scores significantly below average and more than 1 SE below the 15th percentile receive 1 star. Scores significantly above average and more than 1 SE above the 80th percentile receive 5 stars. In these instances, there is strong evidence that the score is in the 1 star or 5 star range. *Non-reportable and very-low reliability scores do not affect the Star Ratings. 11

12 Other Updates & Notes Low enrollment contracts: Contracts with 500 or more enrollees as of July 2014 will be included. Data integrity: Propose to expand the use of data validation results as a new method of reviewing operational systems and verifying the validity of the data. Ex: Contracts who fail IRE data validation would be reduced on the appeals measures. Dual/LIS status: Will not move forward with interim step of reducing weights for seven measures but is continuing to look at the issue. 12

13 2017 and Beyond Potential changes to existing measures Medication Reconciliation Post Discharge: Possible inclusion on the 2017 Display Page and 2018 Star Ratings depending on HEDIS changes. CAHPS: Update from version 4.0 to 5.0 MPF Price Accuracy: CMS methodology changes to make a comprehensive assessment of price reporting. 13

14 2017 and Beyond (cont.) Potential new measures Care Coordination Asthma measure suite Depression Hospitalization for potentially preventable complications Statin Therapy High Risk Medication Opioid Overutilization Measurement concepts Alternative levels of evaluation Additional measures Sensitivity to small measure denominator size MA vs. MA-PD cut-points 14
