Health IT & MTM
• HIT = Health Information Technology
• CMS’ Enhanced MTM Model should rely on HIT-Enabled Team-Based Care Coordination
• Teams:
• Interdisciplinary care teams
• Within health plan: disease and case management RNs
• Community: prescribers and pharmacies

Health IT & MTM
• Referrals back and forth
• Information interoperable between EHR, Rx databases
• Find source of “truth” in MTM
23
Case #1: Prospective MTM
• Part D MTM is currently retrospective
• Innovation: identify prospectively
• New members to a plan
• Star Ratings for noncompliance
• Case #1: Medicare Advantage Dual-eligible Special Needs Plan (D-SNP)
24
Star Ratings
Purpose
• Creating a referral process between the telephonic health risk assessment by nurses and the MTMP allows for:
• Seamless care for the member with fewer telephone calls from the health plan
• Coordination of care between MTMP and healthcare services/case management
• Decreased medical and pharmacy costs
• Rein-in medication costs before expenses incurred
Lessons Learned
• Need data
• Pharmacy claims from prior insurer
• Communication is key
• Extra patients identified
• Testing, testing, testing
• Ensure criteria match up
26
True or False?
• Medicare Part D plans must reimburse retail pharmacists to perform MTM comprehensive medication reviews (CMRs) for patients in their pharmacy.

Case #2: Medicaid MTM
• MTM helps Medicare members
• Why not Medicaid?
• Targeted Medicaid Aged, Blind, and Disabled (ABD) members
• Leverage existing expertise in another line of business
32
Expansion of MTMP into Medicaid ABD
• What number of members would we like to target?
• What percentage of members?
• What cutoffs would we like to use?
• Opt-in or opt-out?
• Who will manage it?
• When to implement? Targeted go-live date?
• What data to share?
Steps in Implementation of MTMP
• Determine algorithm of precise criteria for targeting
• # medications, # conditions, specific conditions, % of members? Opt-in or opt-out?
• How will targeting be completed: inside or outside MTM database?
• Level of output: just member? Just physician?
• Determine information needed in MTM database
• Pharmacy claims
• Medical claims (ICD-9/10)
• Lab data
• Death dates
• Long term care status
• HCC risk scores
• Frequency of data exchange
35
HIT Implementation of MTMP
Star Ratings
HIT Implementation of MTMP
• Negotiate a contract with MTM Vendor database based on needs
• Create a BRD outlining where data will come from and who be responsible for each set of data
• PBM: Rx claims
• Health Plan IT:
• Demographics, eligibility
• ICD-9/10 medical claims from member database
Timing: 3-4 months for implementation
HIT Implementation of MTMP
• Create a project request for IT support
• Wait for approval, allocation of resources
• Guide IT in appropriate implementation
• Validate data in MTM Database, IT testing
• Deployment of formal files
• Training
• Go Live
Timing: 4-6 months for implementation
Inputs and Outputs
• Care coordination: what does each team need to know?
• Nurses: MTM MD and patient documents
Export PDF to case management software
Interoperability: field-to-field transfer
• CMR date, pharmacist’s name, drug therapy problems
• Pharmacists: level of case management care
Export list of patient’s care level, nurse’s name
Interoperability: case management issues, dates
38
MTMP Integration within Medicaid
• MTM pharmacist-created progress notes are loaded into case management database and visible within member summary database for nursing staff
– Personal Medication List
– Medication Action Plan
– MTM Summary for Physician with action items
• Medicaid MTMP Pharmacists goal: provide care for members along with rest of Interdisciplinary Care Team
