INITIAL MEMBER ATTRIBUTION RESULTS

 

KEY OBSERVATIONS FROM THE LATEST NETWORK/ATTRIBUTION RUN (10/3/2014)

  • Attribution:
    • Nearly 27% or 1.7 million lives were unattributed during the initial attribution run;
    • Results vary by county but this is generally due to low Primary Care attribution as member PCP connectivity is only driving 31% of total attributed lives in the "All Other Services" category.
  • Network Coverage and Robustness:
    • Categories for ´Developmental Disabilities´ and ´Behavioral Health´ have reasonably high percentage of unattributed lives and the ´All others´ category for PCPs has a high percentage of unattributed lives

SUGGESTIONS TO ENHANCE NETWORK ATTRIBUTION AND REDUCE COVERAGE GAPS

PCP Coverage

  • Initial results indicated that attribution had less lives attributed by PCP assignment than expected
  • To adjust for this, DOH suggests PPSs to include all NPIs of the servicing practitioners within your PPS on the Network Tool, even if they are salaried within the partner organization
  • Where possible PPSs should try to establish a one-one relationship for all providers within a practice/service location
  • The Managed Care Plans should validate that the PCP Matching file supplied for Q3-2014 is accurate
  • PPS should make certain that all NPIs are included

General Coverage Issues

  • Making use of the various tools available to seek out network partners and look up relevant partner information

 

AVAILABLE NETWORK TOOLS

 

TOOL 1: NON ATTRIBUTED MEMBER COUNT BY PROVIDER

  • PPS will be provided with a "Non Attributed Members Count by Provider" report; it is important to cross check and add all appropriate NPIs associated with the provider network
  • Report is filterable and sortable by county and provider name

TOOL 2: ENTITY TO NPI REPORT

  • Each PPS will be provided with a report that shows all the NPI numbers associated with each entity in the PPS network. This will allow a PPS to quickly assure it has all the relevant billing numbers for existing network partners.

TOOL 3: NETWORK TOOL - NUMBER OF PROVIDERS BY TYPE

  • Located on Network Tool Homepage
  • Can be used to identify inadequacies in provider networks

TOOL 4: DSRIP DASHBOARDS

Access the dashboards at: dsripdashboards.health.ny.gov

  • Assist with planning, community needs assessment and application development
  • Help you build your network and select strategies and projects based on community needs
  • Some specific use case examples:
    • To find ID numbers to add a known provider to your network:
      • Look up Provider NPI Numbers and MMIS ID´s for potential Network Partners (Dashboard B6)
    • To find new providers to potentially add to your network:
      • Find the names of providers rendering primary care visits (Dashboard B5)
      • Find providers treating specific types of conditions; e.g. Mental Disorders (Dashboard B4)

ADDITIONAL INSTRUCTIONS TO UPDATE YOUR NETWORK

  1. Export your current network from Network tool
  2. Utilize Salient Public Facing dashboard and Unattributed Report to locate additional Providers that should be included in the DSRIP Provider Network. If pulling data from the Public Facing dashboard, ensure that you have Provider Name, NPI, and MMIS IDs in the proper format to import
    • Review page 3 of Export File Layout guide to ensure that you match the correct import format
  3. Cut and paste the new providers from the Salient export to the bottom of your Network Tool export file
  4. Review data to ensure that the files have been merged properly
  5. Import the merged file
    • Make sure it is saved as a "csv" file
    • Make sure column headings and data are in the correct format
    • Only enter one email address per line
  6. Once files is finished pending and says "finalized", review your network to confirm that the updates were properly captured.
  7. Address any errors that remain in your network; warnings also need to be corrected but will not affect attribution.
