The Proliferation of Progress Generated by Medicare Advantage
December 11, 20153:20 pm
This week the Blue Cross Blue Shield Association, representing plans that serve over four million individuals in Medicare Advantage and Medicare Part D prescription drug plans, hosted a congressional briefing to discuss innovations in Medicare Advantage. Experts shared abundant evidence that Medicare Advantage plans have risen above and beyond traditional Medicare in providing quality healthcare that is cost-effective.
Several case studies were presented that highlighted continuing improvements being made to improve senior health:
- Care at Home, a service launched by BCBS of Western New York and Landmark Health, offers a team that does not replace the primary care physician, but rather collaborates with the doctors and stays apprised on how patients are faring in their own residences. Care at Home has enrolled 2,500 seniors since November 2014. Patients with multiple chronic diseases generate more than seven times the healthcare costs of patients with only one chronic disease. Medicare Advantage members who have six or more chronic diseases are eligible for Care at Home. The coordinated care, which includes nurturing and education family caregivers, has, thus far, helped prevent 617 emergency room visits.
- CareMore Health System, an Anthem company, uses doctors called extensivists to coordinate care for patients with chronic conditions. They also ensure that there is proper follow up with patients and that protocols are adhered to by all involved in the patients’ care. Predictive modeling is utilized to determine risk and practice early intervention, helping to keep costs low. An average day at CareMore includes visits to homes for social and behavioral support, reading results from monitors in patients’ homes, following up after discharge, and providing rides for patients who have no form of transportation to reach points of care.
- BCBS of Rhode Island identified pharmaceutical management as a way to lower healthcare costs and improve health outcomes. The patient- centered pharmacy program serves members with multiple chronic conditions who take at least four medications and spend over $3,000 on drugs. The medication therapy management includes comprehensive medication reviews, prescriber consultations, counseling for adherence and education, and monitoring to ensure good adherence habits are established. In just the first three quarters of 2015, 8,632 members were served with an estimated savings of $2.8 million.
These are just a few examples demonstrating how innovation in Medicare Advantage has protected patients from high out-of-pocket costs, maintained quality care, and kept consumer satisfaction levels high. These individual successes, and the others like them, need to be kept in mind by policymakers when they debate future support for the Medicare Advantage program. The best practices and outcomes achieved by these pioneers in healthcare should be shared and encouraged so they can be replicated across the country.
