Background:
At the June 13, 2016 Governing Board Meeting, under Resolution 16-88, the Governing Board

APPROVE THE FISCAL YEAR 2016/2017 RISK SHARING FUNDS MEASUREMENT
AND DISTRIBUTION FOR THE MEDI-CAL EXPANSION POPULATION
Recommended Action:
That the Governing Board of the Inland Empire Health Plan (IEHP) approve the Fiscal Year
2016/2017 Risk Sharing Funds Measurement and Distribution for the Medi-Cal Expansion
Population.
Contact:
Bradley P. Gilbert, M.D., Chief Executive Officer
Background:
In 2014, California implemented the Medicaid (Medi-Cal) Expansion (MCE) eligibility change
based on federal guidelines from the Affordable Care Act (ACA). The ACA significantly
increased the eligibility for Medi-Cal both in terms of the upper income limit (now 133% of the
Federal Poverty Level) and by allowing childless adults who meet the income guidelines to be
eligible. The MCE population is a major expansion of Medi-Cal eligibility for a population that
has generally not had access to any health care coverage. As of July 2016, the MCE enrollment
was 316,087.
Discussion:
As an update to the December 8, 2014 and July 13, 2015 Governing Board Items on the same
subject, the distribution approved for calendar year 2014 and the first nine months of 2015 totaled
$381.7 million that was awarded to Hospitals, IPAs, PCPs, and Specialists.
As in prior fiscal years, the Risk Pool for Fiscal Year 2016/2017 will be based on a combination of
quarterly utilization measures and quality metrics. The metrics for the measurements will be based
upon MCE experience from October 1st through December 31st, 2015 and calendar year 2016.
Due to the lag in receiving claims from providers, there is a nine month delay in processing
payments for these periods. The Risk Pool funds for the fourth quarter of 2015 will be allocated
into two primary pools; 60% to Hospitals and 40% to IPAs and physicians. The 2016 quarterly risk
pool funds will be split 70% to Hospitals and 30% to IPAs and physicians.
Hospital Metrics:
Each Hospital’s pool will be determined by the number of MCE bed days in their facility. The
pool for the fourth quarter of 2015 will be awarded based upon the following metrics at 25%
each:

Readmission rates at or below 18% will be awarded a share of the pool based upon relative
utilization.

Physician/Specialist follow-up within seven calendar days of an inpatient hospital discharge
will be distributed to hospitals that meet or exceed 22.1% based on relative utilization.

2016 SECOND QUARTER REVIEW OF THE IEHP COMPLIANCE PROGRAM
Recommended Action:
Review and File
Contact:
Bradley P. Gilbert, M.D., Chief Executive Officer
Rohit Gupta, Director of Compliance / Compliance Officer
Background:
IEHP is required to implement an effective compliance program that meets the regulatory
requirements set forth in 42 C.F.R. § §422.503(b)(4)(vi) and 423.504(b)(4)(vi). The principles
outlined in the regulatory guidelines are applicable to all IEHP relevant decisions, situations,
communications and developments. The Governing Board is required to exercise reasonable
oversight with respect to the implementation and effectiveness of the program.
This report provides an update on the IEHP Compliance Program and activities during Second

Discussion:
Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) Audits:
Part D Transition Monitoring Program Analysis CY 2016
On May 24, 2016, IEHP submitted 30 selected rejected claims for the 2016 Transition Monitoring
Program (TMPA) for Part D. As previously reported, the purpose of the TMPA is to evaluate
point-of-sale (POS) rejected claims to ensure that Part D sponsors adequately administering
Medicare Part D formulary transition requirements. For each reject claims, IEHP provided an
explanation as to why the rejection was Appropriate or Inappropriate.
All files were successfully submitted on time and accepted. CMS has not provided results and
there is no indication that results will be provided to plans. The Compliance Department considers
this audit as closed and will provide updates to the Governing Board should CMS communicate
updates.
State Program Audits:

medical survey assesses the Plan’s provision of Medicaid based services.
The joint audit was conducted on-site October 5, 2015 through October 16, 2015. The audit
focused on the outcomes of our activities and processes, including our P&Ps, job aids, and process
workflows.
On February 9, 2016, IEHP held an on-site Exit Conference with DHCS to discuss the preliminary
findings of the DHCS Medical Audit component of the DMHC-DHCS Joint Audit. The Plan was
provided 15 working days to submit relevant information concerning the draft reports and findings.
On April 5, 2016, IEHP received the findings and Corrective Action Plan (CAP) requests for the
DMHC CMC Survey and the DMHC 1115 Waiver SPD Survey. The CAPs were due to DHCS by

9, 2016. The Compliance Department received CAP approval and closing letters from DHCS and
DMHC on July 25, 2016 for the on-site Medical Audit and 1115 Waiver SPD Survey. The
Compliance Department is pending CAP approval and a Closing Letter from DHCS for the CMC
Survey. The Compliance Department will continue to update the Governing Board as updates
become available.

Office of Inspector General Medical Loss Ratio
On August 13, 2015, IEHP received notification from the Department of Health and Human
Services, Office of Inspector General of the audit of California’s implementation of medical loss
ratio (MLR) standards for Medicaid managed-care plans. The objective of the audit is to determine
potential Medicaid program savings if the California Department of Health Care Services required
its Medicaid managed-care plans to meet the MLR standards established by the Patient Protection
and Affordable Care Act (ACA).
The DHS OIG MLR audit was conducted on-site September 14, 2015 and September 15, 2015.
The audit is ongoing and we are awaiting the results of the audit. At this time, The Compliance
Department considers the audit as closed as no additional information has been requested from the
Agency.
Medical Loss Ratio (MLR) Audit and Administrative Expense Evaluation
On February 3, 2016, IEHP received notification from the Department of Managed Healthcare
(DMHC) of the medical loss ratio (MLR) audit and administrative expense evaluation that will be
conducted in coordination with the Department of Health Care Services (DHCS). The purpose of
the evaluation is to assess the Plan’s financial condition and the accuracy of previously reported
financial information. The review period is July 1, 2014 through June 30, 2015. IEHP submitted
documents to DMHC on April 4, 2016 and on April 29, 2016.
Since the April 29, 2016 submission, DMHC has issued eight (8) Information Document Requests
(IDR) requesting additional information and clarification of the data submitted. However, The
Compliance Department has not received a Final Report, and the audit remains on-going. The
Compliance Department will continue to provide updates to the Governing Board as updates
become available.
Special Investigation Unit (SIU) Case Report
The Compliance Department experienced a 60% increase in investigations related to privacy
incidents from the Second quarter of 2015 (Q2-2015) to the Second quarter of 2016 (Q2-2016).
The number of cases reported to the State increased from 2 cases in Q2-2015 to 8 cases reported in
Q2-2016. One of the privacy cases reported to the State involved a breach caused by Kaiser
Permanente. The breach occurred as a result of the theft of a mail delivery service vehicle and
affected 2,452 IEHP Members. Kaiser Permanente provided Member notification and media notice
as required.

POLICY CALENDAR
The number of fraud cases investigated in Q2-2015 compared to the number of cases for Q2-2016
shows a 31.9% increase. Of those cases, 39 were reported to State/Federal agencies in Q2-2015
compared to 22 cases reported in Q2-2016 (a 43.6% decrease of reported cases). The decrease in
reported fraud cases is a result of additional guidance from the State as to the type of fraud cases
which should be reported.
The increase in overall cases reflects the steady growth of IEHP Membership in Q2-2016. Trends
continue to show that the increase in cases closely follows the increase in IEHP Membership.

RATIFY AND APPROVE THE FOURTH AMENDMENT TO THE PROFESSIONAL
SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH VARIS, LLC.
Recommended Action:
That the Governing Board of IEHP ratify and approve the Fourth Amendment to the Professional
Services Agreement (PSA) with Varis, LLC for the provision of DRG Overpayment Identification
Services for a total cost not to exceed $1.0 million annually effective July 1, 2016 through June 30,
2018.
Contact:
Bradley P. Gilbert, M.D., Chief Executive Officer
Background:
IEHP primarily pays inpatient hospital claims for Medicare members using CMS’s reimbursement
method, referred to as “inpatient prospective payment system” or “Medicare DRG payments”.
Additionally, a small amount of Medi-Cal for certain claims types are also contracted at these
rates. This payment method categorizes inpatient cases in to diagnosis-related groups, referred to
as “DRG”.
IEHP uses third party software to price inpatient Medicare claims based on data elements
contained in the hospital claim. IEHP is limited in its ability to detect erroneously billed DRG
claims including coding, processing, calculations, regardless of source. As a result, overpayment of
hospital billing errors can go undetected.
Varis, LLC possesses the required expertise to screen inappropriately billed hospital claims,
correspond with hospitals and review medical records to substantiate accurate DRG billing and
payment. Varis’s reimbursement rate model is 25% commission of successful claims recovered.
Fiscal year to date Varis has recovered $1,660,788 on behalf of IEHP.
The original agreement was approved by the Governing Board in June 2011 under Resolution 11173. In July 2012 under Resolution 12-210, the First Amendment was approved which renewed
the original agreement. In July 2013 under Minute Order 13-225, a Second Amendment was
approved. In July 2015 under Minute Order 15-171, a Third Amendment was approved.
Discussion:
This Fourth Amendment extends the Agreement term for an additional two (2) years beginning
July 1, 2016 through June 30, 2018 for an additional amount of $1.0 million. All other items and
conditions of the Agreement remain in full force and effect. All costs for this Agreement are
covered by recovered payments from providers.

OVERVIEW OF THE MEDI-CAL AND MEDICARE HEALTHCARE EFFECTIVENESS
DATA AND INFORMATION SET RESULTS FOR HEDIS 2016.
Recommended Action:
Review and File
Contact:
Jennifer N. Sayles, M.D., Chief Medical Officer
Background:
HEDIS® was developed and is maintained by the National Committee for Quality Assurance
(NCQA). HEDIS® is a “standardized set of health plan performance measures” that measures the
quantity, timeliness and in certain cases, outcome of specific medical services delivered to health
plan members. These “measures” allow purchasers, such as employers and state governments, to
evaluate one health plan against another by comparing the HEDIS® performance results of each
health plan.
HEDIS® measures are important because they:

are required for NCQA (50% of accreditation score)

are required by Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) and used in the DHCS default
membership assignment process

are used by CMS as a large part of the Quality Withhold Program for Cal MediConnect

are publically reported

identify areas of improvement for IEHP

assist IEHP in maintaining quality oversight of the care provided to Members

allow IEHP to benchmark its results and put plans into place to improve these results
Discussion:
Medi-Cal Results:
A total of 35 HEDIS® measures were submitted to DHCS and NCQA for Medi-Cal performance in
measurement year 2015. Overall performance reveals the following trends:

20 measures had stable performance to prior year (2014)

7 measures improved over prior year (2014)

8 measures declined from prior year (2014)
In 2014, IEHP grew by over 320,000 Members, in large part, due to the Medi-Cal Expansion
(MCE). This is a population primarily consists of adults with chronic health conditions and poor
access to medical care and preventive health screenings. 2015 was the first year the MCE

Members were eligible for measurement in HEDIS®. The HEDIS® denominators for adult
measures increased on average by 46% due to the MCE population.

Cal MediConnect - Medicare Results:
A total of 26 HEDIS® measures were submitted to CMS and NCQA for Cal MediConnect
performance in measurement year 2015. Overall performance reveals the following trends:

6 measures had stable performance to prior year (DSNP 2014)

8 measures improved over prior year (DSNP 2014)

12 measures declined from prior year (DSNP 2014)
HEDIS® 2016 is the first year for the Cal MediConnect (CMC) population public reports.
Effective January 2015, most DualChoice Special Needs Plan (DSNP) membership rolled into the
Cal MediConnect population. Therefore they are included in the CMC HEDIS® 2016 reporting
population. Since this is the first year of CMC reporting, the DSNP HEDIS® rates are used for
trending. In addition, no Medicare-Medicaid Plan (MMP) population benchmarks are available for
HEDIS® since this is the first year of public reporting for all MMP plans and no SNP benchmarks
are available for comparison. All benchmark comparisons are based on Medicare Advantage
populations.
The table that follows displays IEHP’s Medicare Cal MediConnect for HEDIS® 2016, as well as
D-SNP HEDIS® results for HEDIS® 2013 – 2016. Also displayed are the percentile rankings based

1. Provider Incentive Programs:
a) IPA and PCP Global Quality P4P programs for targeted HEDIS® measures. Measures
include: Breast Cancer Screening, Cervical Cancer Screening, Childhood Immunizations,
Adolescent Well- Care Visits, Well-Child Visits in the 3-6 Years of Life, Comprehensive
Diabetes Care, Initial Health Assessments, Encounter Data Volume, and Member
Satisfaction
b) Physician incentive pay-for-performance program (P4P) to increase HEDIS® performance
on a per-event basis. These incentive programs pay physicians for providing the following
services: Well Child Visits, Childhood Immunizations, Cervical Cancer Screenings,
Diabetes Care, Asthma Controller Medication Prescriptions, Perinatal Care, and Annual
Adult Comprehensive Visit for CMC Members.
2. Provider Support Programs
a) Standing Orders Program: designed to facilitate PCP orders and follow-up of routine labs
and screenings for breast cancer screening (mammograms), diabetic lab tests, and
colorectal cancer screening (home test kits).
b) Vision Provider Member Outreach Program: IEHP matches Diabetic Members needing an
eye exam with Vision Providers in their neighborhoods. The office staff at the Vision
Provider offices outreach to Members schedule timely eye exam appointments.
c) Radiology Center Member Outreach Program: IEHP matches women needing a
mammogram with a contracted radiology center that is geographically close to the
Member’s home. The Radiology Center staff conducts outreach calls to schedule timely
mammograms by the year end. Results are sent to the Member’s assigned PCP.
d) OB/GYN Provider Member Outreach Program: IEHP matches women needing a Pap test
with OB/GYN and GYN providers in their neighborhoods. The office staff at the OB/GYN
conducts outreach to Members to schedule timely well-women exams including the Pap
test
e) Nurse Educator and Provider Service Representative Physician Office Education Visits:
Targeted PCP offices are visited and provided detailed physician education on key HEDIS®
measures. Topics include: physician performance data compared to goals, member gaps in

Gap in Care Alerts are seen on the Member Health History Page and include key
preventive care services that are past due.
3. Member Incentive Programs
Through IEHP’s focus group sessions, Members have reported that the Target, Stater Bros and
Wal-Mart gift cards are the preferred incentives. The Purchasing Department utilized an
informal bid process to determine which company could provide IEHP gift cards at the best
discount. Additionally, Purchasing performed research for governmental agencies that
conducted formal competitive bid awards for this service that allows utilization by other
political (public) entities. Through their research, the County of San Bernardino had issued a
formal solicitation and had selected the National Gift Card Registry (NGCR) as their awarded
vendor. San Bernardino’s established contract includes a “Use by Political Entities” clause
which allows other governmental agencies (i.e. IEHP) to use that agency’s contract.
San Bernardino’s awarded vendor, NGCR offers discounts based on volume buys. Based on
projected volume, the NGCR contract will allow us to get a discount of 3%. Their competitor,
SVM, offers a 1.5% discount based on volume buys
a) Members receive a $15 Target Gift Card when completing a needed preventive care service
by the year’s end.
b) Targeted measures include: Diabetic labs, Diabetic eye exams, Mammograms, Postpartum
Visits, Colorectal Cancer Screening, and Cervical Cancer Screening.
4. Member Support Programs
a) Member-specific Gap in Care Alerts in IEHP’s call center systems indicate what preventive
care services are due.
b) Outbound call campaigns to Members with gaps in care to educate Members on preventive
care services that are due and facilitate setting up PCP appointments.
c) New IEHP Maternal/Fetal (MF) Program. This program serves as a continuum of Care
Management including early Prenatal, High Risk and Postpartum OB Care. Key focus
areas that support HEDIS® include: Member Postpartum Visit scheduling and follow up,
and Member Incentive program awareness.
d) Targeted Member texting campaign for reminder to complete preventive care services.
5. Data Improvement Programs
a) Establish additional Lab Results Data Feed connections. Many HEDIS® measures rely on
complete lab data. Establishing more data connections to laboratory results, especially with
hospitals can improve HEDIS® results.
b) Establish supplemental data feeds with IPAs where gaps in data are identified and are
available in alternative data formats.

REVIEW OF THE 2015 PROVIDER NETWORK STATUS STUDY
Recommended Action:
Review and File
Contact:
Kurt Hubler, Chief Network Officer
Background:
On an annual basis, IEHP reviews its overall network performance to ensure IEHP is compliant
with the Department of Health Care Services (DHCS), Department of Managed Health Care
(DMHC), and Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) regulatory standards for time,
distance, and Provider-to-Member ratios. Regulatory agencies establish these standards to ensure
sufficient network capacity to serve our growing Member population.
IEHP determines the specialties and facility types to include using the 2015 CMS Health Services
Delivery (HSD) reporting standards, DHCS network adequacy standards and IEHP Policy and
Procedure Manual Occupational and Speech Therapy are additional selected specialties added to
the study, however these are not identified as core specialties. For specialties and facility types
without industry standards for either time and distance or Provider-to-Member ratios, IEHP
determines standards using comparable specialties.
To be compliant with time and distance standards, at least 90% of the Members must have access
to at least one Provider for a given specialty, within the minimum time (minutes) or distance
(miles).
Discussion:
As part of its analysis, IEHP determines whether or not there are any deficiencies in the overall
Provider Network. IEHP is compliant with 90% of IEHP Medi-Cal and Medicare Members are
within the minimum time and distance standards for each specialty with exception of:

Long Term Care (LTC) not meeting (Medicare) and are close to not meeting (Medi-Cal) the
time and distance standards.

CBAS Facilities are close to not meeting the time and distance standards.
There are two facility types (Long-Term Care (LTC) and CBAS Facilities) not meeting or are
close to not meeting the time and distance standards. Since there are no regulatory standards for
these facility types, IEHP will re-examine the time and distance standards for future studies. IEHP
will also consider limiting the Membership population used for these metrics, such as limiting to
Members with a Seniors and Persons with Disabilities (SPD) aid code or adult Membership, who
would be more likely to utilize these facilities, instead of the entire Member population.

IEHP will continue to monitor the standard for each specialty and facility type. Continuous
contracting efforts are being made to expand the LTC and CBAS Network in order to increase
access to specialty care and ensure coverage across the service area.
To date, the IEHP Network Expansion Fund Program has added 117 new Providers to practice in
the Inland Empire. IEHP will continue to accept applications to accommodate for the growing
population and to help improve Member access to care.
