Washington Multi-Payer Collaborative

Initiative Description: The Washington State Health Care Authority formed a Multi-Payer Collaborative (MPC) to increase access to high-quality comprehensive primary care to improve health care outcomes. The MPC aims to improve primary care by enhancing the patient experience, improving population health outcomes, reducing costs, and improving the work life of health care providers. Part of the work being done by the MPC is the introduction of the MPC Learning Cohort, which will be an avenue for providers to shape where payers align their efforts to create primary care provider supports.

Strategic and Tactical Uses: Practices that are good candidates and meet certain characteristics can join an MPC Learning Cohort and help guide health plan alignment. Those that are not involved in the Washington MPC can use the strategies and direction of the MPC to help shape their own guiding principles. Practices in Washington that are participating in the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services’ new Making Care Primary model can benefit from the lessons of MPC’s current Learning Cohort to enable greater success in the new model.

Vermont’s All-Payer Accountable Care Organization Model

Initiative Description: The Vermont All-Payer Accountable Care Organization (ACO) Model (VTAPM) began on January 1, 2017 and is scheduled to end on December 31, 2024. It is a culmination of Vermont’s commitment to health care transformation, building from Vermont’s Global Commitment to Health Section 1115 waiver, the Blueprint for Health, and a multi-payer ACO Shared Savings Program (SSP) pilot under Vermont’s State Innovation Models (SIM) Testing Grant. Medicare, Medicaid, BlueCross BlueShield of Vermont (BCBSVT), MVP Health Care, and the State Employees’ Health Care Plan — a self-insured plan administered by BCBSVT — participate in the model, representing the majority of covered lives in the state. The Model is administered by OneCare Vermont, which coordinates all funding from all VTAPM payment mechanisms — all-inclusive population-based payment, fixed prospective payment, and traditional fee-for-service (FFS). The Model aims to use this ACO structure to reduce statewide spending and improve population health outcomes.

Strategic and Tactical Uses: The VTAPM has been linked to reductions in Medicare spending, decreases in acute hospital and specialty visits, and efforts to improve care coordination and strengthen primary care. Despite these successes, the Model had mixed success related to payment reform, with FFS as the primary funding mechanism by participating commercial plans, and mixed quality measure alignment, with only 7 of the 18 OneCare measures in common among participating health plans. Other states can look to the VTAPM model to understand how decades of work toward health care payment reform efforts can be used to develop a statewide model with successful cost and quality outcomes. Lessons learned from the evaluation report — including the need to align financial incentives and attribution, and the importance of goal setting for aligned payment mechanisms (see additional information below) — should also be reviewed for states looking to leverage findings from Vermont.

Trusted Exchange Framework Common Agreement Standards

Initiative Description: The Trusted Exchange Framework Common Agreement (TEFCA) was published by the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC) to establish the infrastructure model and governing approach for users in different networks to securely share basic clinical information with each other, all under commonly agreed-to expectations and rules. TEFCA describes a common set of non-binding, foundational principles for trust policies and practices that can help facilitate an exchange among organizations. These principles include standardization, transparency, cooperation and non-discrimination, privacy, security, patient safety, access, and data-driven accountability.

Strategic and Tactical Uses: Currently, providers may have disparate access to patient data across multiple networks, adding to their administrative burden. Patients may also struggle to access their own data easily. As TEFCA becomes operational, organizations and patients will benefit from improved access to data as TEFCA aims to create seamless nationwide exchange.

North Carolina Healthy Opportunities Pilots

Initiative Description: The North Carolina Health Opportunities Pilots (HOP), part of NC’s Section 1115 waiver, is a comprehensive program dedicated to solving non-medical needs for Medicaid enrollees. HOP covers the cost of 29 interventions defined and priced in the Department of Health and Human Services’ Pilot Fee Schedule, including housing navigation and move-in fees, food and nutrition access care, transportation reimbursement, and violence intervention services. The North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services intends to expand HOP services to new populations beginning with those eligible for Tailored Care Management.

Strategic and Tactical Uses: HOP is the country’s first comprehensive program to reimburse for such a broad set of services and, unlike traditional Medicaid services, supports the enrollee and their family (e.g., an enrollee who is food insecure will receive a food box covering the entire family). Other states can use North Carolina’s HOP program to evaluate the benefits of non-medical interventions. Based on the reports from the Department of Health and Human Services, similar programs can be implemented across other states, helping to reduce health care costs and improve population health.

California Advanced Primary Care Initiative

Initiative Description: The California Quality Collaborative (led by the Purchaser Business Group on Health) and the Integrated Healthcare Association convene purchasers, health plans, and providers in California to strengthen the primary care delivery system. As part of this effort, health plans signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) that commits them to shared primary care measures and a roadmap to advancing primary care in California. The Initiative culminates with the Payment Model Demonstration Project (July 2024-December 2025) to test a common value-based payment model with approximately 30 independent practices.

Strategic and Tactical Uses: The Initiative represents a multifaceted pilot that requires coordinated measure implementation, data sharing, and trust. In order to further statewide alignment, additional organizations in California are encouraged to sign the MOU and join the Initiative. Non-California health plans can use the MOU as a blueprint to build similar collaboratives in their state. The Advanced Primary Care Measure Set and Roadmap to Advanced Primary Care are also available for organizations looking to better align their primary care services.

Improving predictability for providers through improved risk adjustment for complex patients, stronger incentive structures for Medicaid beneficiaries, and flexibility on waivers.

Providers who are successful in fee-for-service (FFS) may lack a compelling reason to transition to APMs but may be unable to compete with the person-centered care delivered by providers in APMs. Introducing APMs through multi-payer pilots in these markets (particularly for independent and smaller providers) may increase competition and reduce FFS entrenchment.

Ensuring providers adopt timely data and analytics capabilities, combining multiple data sources (e.g., electronic health record and claims data), to enable successful participation in value-based payment models.

Providing patients and caregivers with cost, quality, and appropriateness of care data in an actionable, easily understood, and accessible manner. Ensuring that electronic data can be easily shared meeting advanced technology standards (e.g., HL7 FHIR) to improve care delivery.
