ACO Participation Waiver Documentation Parties Involved: Accountable Care Coalition of Northwest Florida Start Date: June 2014 End Date: Sept. 2014 Description/Purpose of the Arrangement: Practice Manager Annual Wellness Visit Challenge ( AWV Challenge ), titled I m Well Done, designed to stimulate awareness of the Medicare Annual Wellness Visit (AWV) available to Medicare beneficiaries and to support practice managers efforts to outreach to ACO beneficiaries in their practices and have their clinicians complete AWVs. The AWV Challenge invites practice managers of ACO participants to submit a short application that describes the effectiveness of their efforts relating to AWVs. The application will consist of four (4) questions that are designed to assess both qualitative and quantitative outcomes. Applications are graded on a scale of 0% 100%, with each answer worth 25% of the total grade. The questions are: Explain what your practice does to outreach to ACO beneficiaries and encourage such beneficiaries to have their AWV. What break out idea have you had that enables your practice to get more beneficiaries to come in to have an AWV? How do you know your efforts are working? Include metrics. For example, out of all the ACO beneficiaries in your practice, what percentage are well done (meaning, patients have completed their AWV)? Provide a brief story about your patients experience with the AWV, and why AWVs are beneficial, such as describing a positive outcome, or a before and after situation. Applications will be evaluated by the Management Committee of the ACO with input from the ACO Executive Director and staff from Collaborative Health Systems (CHS). The application with the highest grade, out of the pool of all applications received for the ACO, will be awarded a grand prize trip for two (2) to Orlando, FL; provided, (a) there must be at least three (3) unique applications from different ACO participants; and (b) the applicant s application score must be sixty-five percent (65%) or greater. Winners and their application responses may be publicized within the ACO community in order to build a culture of innovation and leadership. The AWC Challenge criteria may, in the ACO s sole discretion, be modified, with or without notice, at any time. The AWV Challenge will run from June September 2014. During this period, Executive Directors will meet with practices at monthly lunch n learns to encourage participation in the AWV Challenge, monitor AWV progress, and provide education about AWVs and other topics pertaining to the ACO, such as quality measures. The grand prize winner of the AWV challenge will be announced in October. pg. 4

Relation to Purposes of the Medicare Shared Savings Program: In order for this program to move forward, this Governing Body must make and duly authorize a bona fide determination, consistent with each member s duty under 42 CFR 425.106(b)(3), that the arrangement is reasonably related to one of the stated purposes of the Shared Savings Program. Please select at least one of the following and then describe how this program is reasonably related to that purpose: Promoting accountability for the quality, cost and overall care for a Medicare patient population as described in the Shared Savings Program, Managing and Coordinating care for Medicare Fee-For-Service beneficiaries through an ACO, or Encouraging investment in infrastructure and redesigned care processes for high quality and efficient service delivery for patients, including Medicare beneficiaries. The AWV Challenge supports the stated purpose by promoting Annual Wellness Visits which can: - help the ACO s efforts to complement and improve care processes for the ACO s Fee-For-Service population; - bolster the patient/provider relationship, improve patient engagement and provide a personalized prevention plan at no cost to the beneficiary; - provide an avenue to ensure ACOs are monitoring and retaining healthy beneficiaries in the ACO s assigned beneficiary population from year to year; - helps provide a baseline measurement for care coordination and to identify changes in medical condition of the beneficiaries over time. pg. 6
