B. New NASHP Publication - 'State Multi-Payer Medical Home Intiatives and Medicare's Advanced Primary Care Demonstration'
In September 2009, the U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services announced that Medicare will join selected state-based, multi-payer medical home initiatives in an Advanced Primary Care (APC) Demonstration. States have welcomed this announcement, viewing Medicare as a valuable potential strategic stakeholder. Yet they are concerned that the proposed APC criteria may be too narrow to fit many current initiatives. This State Health Policy Briefing builds from a December 2009 research scan and webcast that examines a broad range of state multi-payer initiatives and compares some of these criteria against the proposed APC criteria. It will inform those planning multi-payer initiatives about approaches that are now being used by leading states, as well as areas that will likely be of interest to the federal government.

D. New Article from the Annals of Internal Medicine - Lessons That Patient-Centered Medical Homes Can Learn From the Mistakes of HMOs
Patient-centered medical homes (PCMHs) have been endorsed by primary and specialty care medical associations, payers, and patient groups as an innovative structure for transforming health care delivery. The cornerstone principle of the PCMH is the primary care physician's coordination of a patient's use of health care services, including visits to specialists, to improve effectiveness and efficiency. This principle aligns with the vision behind the creation of HMOs, managed care organizations that were once embraced by physicians, patients, and policy analysts but have since lost much of their luster. Many patients and physicians rejected HMOs as too restrictive, objecting particularly to the concept of gatekeeping. This article reviews the HMO experience and identifies lessons applicable to PCMHs that build on the strengths of HMOs while avoiding their mistakes. To read the full article, please click here.
E. Florida Agency for Health Care Administration (Agency) Releases Medicaid Medical Home Task Force Report
Florida Agency for Health Care Administration (Agency) Secretary Thomas W. Arnold yesterday released the Medicaid Medical Home Task Force (Task Force) report to Governor Crist and the Florida Legislature. The report outlines the Task Force’s recommendations for designing and implementing a medical home pilot project for Florida Medicaid.
“We appreciate the work of the Task Force in developing recommendations for implementing a medical home model designed to promote better coordination of patient care,” said Secretary Arnold. “The Agency is always looking for new ways to improve the health care provided to Florida’s Medicaid recipients.”
Established by Senate Bill 1986 passed during the 2009 Legislative Session, the Medicaid Medical Home Task Force was made up of ten members representing medical and health care professional associations, advocacy groups, medical schools and Florida Medicaid health plans and networks. This group was tasked with reviewing medical home models and making recommendations for a Medicaid medical home pilot project in Florida.
The Task Force was provided with overviews on medical home concepts and models and heard presentations by Medicaid staff from other states that have implemented medical home programs, including North Carolina, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania and Washington. Based on these presentations and discussions among members, the Task Force made various recommendations for the Florida Legislature to consider during the 2010 Legislative Session.

F. The Kaiser Commission on Medicaid and the Uninsured Policy Brief: Medicaid and Managed Care: Key Data, Trends, and Issues
This policy brief provides an overview of the Medicaid program’s increasing reliance on managed care to deliver services. The goal of this approach is to improve access to care and coordination of care by assuring that enrollees have a "medical home" with a primary care provider, and to rely more heavily on preventive and primary care. Adopting managed care also gives states more cost predictability and control over their Medicaid programs, and contracts with managed care plans offer states a mechanism, through quality measurement and improvement requirements, for holding plans accountable for the quality of care they provide to Medicaid enrollees.
Medicaid provides health and long-term care coverage to nearly 60 million low-income individuals, or roughly 1 in 5 Americans. About 70 percent of Medicaid enrollees receive some or all of their services through managed care.Managed care is an approach to delivering and financing health care that is aimed at both improving the quality of care and saving costs.

M. Indiana, North Carolina host Medicare quality demos - Physicians and health systems in the two states will share savings from coordinating care and developing medical homes.
American Medical News - The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services on Jan. 27 announced two new Medicare demonstrations that provide incentives for physicians and others to improve the quality of care for Medicare beneficiaries while reducing costs.
One of the programs, in Indiana, is in partnership with the Indiana Health Information Exchange, which was formed in 2004 to promote the efficient exchange of medical records among doctors and hospitals. Under the new demonstration, IHIE will use Medicare data to give participating physicians the information necessary to lower costs and boost quality.
The project, which involves a coalition of roughly 800 physicians, also will examine the impact of quality measures reporting and pay-for-performance.
"Under the current health care system, patient data is often inconsistent and housed in different systems, making it less useful to physicians," said CMS Acting Administrator Charlene Frizzera. The IHIE project will work to combine fragmented data and standardize quality reporting and pay, she said.
In North Carolina, a new demonstration will extend the medical-home concept to low-income Medicare beneficiaries through a partnership with the North Carolina Community Care Networks. The organization consists of eight regional health care networks that combine care coordination and health information technology to manage care more effectively.
The networks, consisting of community physicians, hospitals, health departments and others, will provide medical homes for beneficiaries who are eligible for both Medicare and Medicaid. Each network has clinical care coordinators who will work with practices on medical-home plans for their patients.
Both demonstrations are set up to allow the organizations to share in a portion of Medicare savings once care quality and efficiency objectives are met, CMS said.

O. Data Niche Drug Rebate Conference, March 10-12, 2010, San Antonio, TX
In 1995 Data Niche began sponsoring Medicaid rebate conferences. The primary purpose was to provide a forum in which all parties involved in the Medicaid rebate program could meet and collectively attempt to clear up rebate disputes and arrive at mutually acceptable solutions. Then in 1999, they expanded the agenda to include privately sponsored managed care rebate programs. This addition allowed for the exchange of ideas between personnel involved in fee-for-service Medicaid rebate programs with privately sponsored managed care rebate programs. The formal portion of the program includes a keynote speech by a nationally well known speaker, followed by presentations from experts in various aspects of the Medicaid rebate program and managed care industry. In addition, about three or four state agency speakers are invited to showcase their state's Medicaid program and exchange ideas with the audience. Panel discussions are also included which cover controversial subjects to help uncover issues and seek a fair, logical solution. The conferences provide ample opportunities for informal interactions among all participants while meeting face-to-face with colleagues during coffee breaks, lunch breaks, and our special evening event. The friendly, relaxed, environment promotes goodwill and cooperation among all participants. Executive Director of the PCPCC, Edwina Rogers, will be presenting on March 12th, regarding the PCMH.

V. PCMH in the Press
"Patients Stick Closer to "Medical Home"" National Center for Policy Analysis, 'Doctors don't want patients going to several different offices because there's no guarantee of continuity in care. There also is an added cost to insurance companies and patients if tests are duplicated. That's why doctors such as Monson expect insurance companies in the future to restrict where patients can go for after-hours care. That will mean traditional doctors' offices are going to start partnering with urgent care centers and retail clinics, experts say.'To read the full article, please click here.

VI. On January 27th Bill Molmen General Counsel and co-founder of the Integrated Benefits Institute (IBI) referenced a paper that made a compelling statement that although not originally intended to so, provided good research findings for the need to have care coordination, which is one of the Joint Principles of PCPCC.
“We would expect that the greater the number of condition clusters in which an employee falls, the greater the challenges in care coordination. Rather than having two conditions that might be treated within the same specialty (depression and anxiety as socio-emotional conditions, for example), individuals spanning clusters (e.g., hypertension and depression) will require increased care coordination to ensure that any prescribed medical and pharmacy treatments as well as disability management and return-to-work programs work in concert rather than at odds. As the number and types of conditions increase, the scrutiny and resources required of employers and their health and disability partners also increases if health-related lost time is to be managed well.”
