Colorectal Cancer Screening Program—BioIQ FIT Kit

Colorectal cancer is the third most common cancer in the U.S. in both men and women, and the second leading cause of cancer mortality. Certain areas of Virginia are among those recognized by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention as communities where colorectal cancer mortality has not kept up with the national trend of earlier detection and decreasing mortality.

To address its unscreened members, Optima Health has implemented a population-based screening project using at-home Fecal Immunochemical Testing (FIT) kits. Annual FIT was recommended by the United States Preventive Services Task Force in their Recommendation Statement1 as equivalent to other screening modalities in life-years gained.

In 2015, Optima Health collaborated with Sentara Quality Care Network (SQCN) physicians to mail almost 1,000 FIT kits to SQCN members non-compliant with colorectal cancer screening recommendations.

• 200 members used the FIT kit to complete their screenings.

• 16 members who used the FIT kit tested positive.

• Follow-up with members who tested positive revealed two members with multiple polyps larger than 1cm, and one member with undiagnosed stage III colon cancer.

To build on the success of the 2015 program, and expand the FIT kit service to all of its unscreened members, Optima Health has partnered with BioIQ—a nationally recognized company that has successfully launched health–testing programs serving millions of members for many healthcare organizations.

In 2017, Optima Health and BioIQ mailed over 10,000 FIT kits to Optima Health members.

• Over 2,000 members used the FIT kit to complete their screening.

• 160 members who used the FIT kit tested positive.

Colorectal Cancer Screening Program—BioIQ FIT Kit, continued

BioIQ and Optima Health work collaboratively with members and their primary care physicians (PCP).

• Each member and his/her PCP are notified via mail of the member’s FIT kit results.

• Members who test positive also receive a phone call from an Optima Health-contracted nurse practitioner who educates the member on the importance of following up with a PCP for additional testing.

• Optima Health also contacts the PCP a few weeks after the results are available to ensure that the member has scheduled appropriate follow up.

By collaborating with both members and their PCP, Optima Health is able to monitor member outcomes and receive feedback that helps evaluate the effectiveness of the BioIQ FIT kit program. Most feedback to date has been very positive, and constructive critiques have led to improvements in the program which include expanding access to members already receiving regular screenings. Members are drawn to the convenience of FIT screening; there is no prep or anesthesia required, and the screening can be completed in the comfort of a member’s home.

To sign up for a BioIQ FIT kit, members can visit www.optimahealth.com/colonhealth. For your convenience, Optima Health is also distributing enrollment cards to provider offices.

If you have questions about the program or recommendations to improve it, please contact your Network Educator.

Optima Community Complete (HMO SNP)

Optima Community Complete (HMO SNP), the Optima Health Medicare Advantage Dual Special Needs Plan (D-SNP)—herein referred to as OCC—became effective January 1, 2018. Membership for OCC is limited to members who participate in the DMAS CCC Plus program. OCC integrates Medicare and Medicaid benefits through care coordination so members receive a more seamless care experience matched to their specific needs.

Members are encouraged, but not required, to enroll in the same health plan for their CCC Plus and D-SNP benefits. Please make sure you obtain both ID cards for these dual-eligible members. The Medicare D-SNP plan is primary, so providers should submit claims directly to Optima Health for OCC members, or the appropriate D-SNP plan for Optima Health Community Care (OHCC) members that are enrolled with another MCO D-SNP plan.

OCC Model of Care training is required for all participating OCC Providers.Providers can meet this training requirement by completing the online OCC Model of Care course available from the Education section of optimahealth.com/providers.

Medallion 4.0

We are pleased to announce that Optima Health has been selected as a Contracted Health Plan for the new DMAS Medallion 4.0 program.

During 2018, Medallion 4.0 will replace Medallion 3.0—the DMAS program that currently includes Optima Family Care (OFC) and FAMIS. Participating Optima Family Care/FAMIS providers do not have to take any action to continue to provide services to OFC/FAMIS members when Medallion 4.0 becomes effective.

On August 1, 2018, DMAS will begin the transition from Medallion 3.0 to Medallion 4.0 in the Tidewater region. The transition from Medallion 3.0 to Medallion 4.0 will continue through December 2018 across the remaining DMAS regions in Virginia.

For further information and proposed transition dates, please view the Medicaid Memo to Providers from January 8, 2018, on the DMAS website.

Reminder—Complete Your Cultural Competency Training

Being equipped to accommodate the needs of an increasingly diverse population is a growing concern in the healthcare community. Cultural competence and effective communication are keys to understanding a patient’s concerns and helping to ensure they understand their healthcare plan.

We strongly encourage all providers to complete cultural competency training. The Optima Health provider directory will display Cultural Competence as a feature on all provider profiles, informing members which providers have completed this important training.

Please visit the Education section of optimahealth.com/providers for links to cultural competency training opportunities. CME credits are available.

Upon completion of training, please complete the Provider Acknowledgement Form for Cultural Competency so we can credit you for this education.

CMS Requirement for Medicare Providers

CMS requires all Medicare Managed Care Organizations to verify the accuracy of Medicare Provider Directory information each quarter.

Optima Health utilizes email communications to providers to meet this requirement. Providers must attest to the accuracy of their demographic information (address and phone), and whether or not they are accepting new Optima Medicare HMO or Optima Community Complete (HMO SNP) members.

Please review your directory information in the Find Doctors, Drugs, and Facilities section ofoptimahealth.com/providers. Notify your Network Educator if any corrections are needed. If you have not received an email verifying your information, please notify your Network Educator of your current email address.

Americans with Disabilities Act Compliance

Optima Health Provider Directories are required to indicate whether provider office locations meet accessibility standards in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Please inform your Network Educator if your office meets ADA standards so that patients can confirm prior to their appointment if your office is accessible.

Are you receiving emails to verify the accuracy of your directory information with Optima Health?

Please ensure your Optima Health Network Educator has your current email address.

Community Mental Health Rehabilitation Services Transition

DMAS is transitioning Community Mental Health Rehabilitation Services (CMHRS) from Magellan to Managed Care Organizations (MCOs).

The first transition was effective January 1, 2018 for CMHRS services provided to DMAS CCC Plus enrollees. The Optima Health CCC Plus plan is Optima Health Community Care (OHCC). All authorizations and claims for CMHRS services for OHCC members after January 1, 2018 should be obtained from or submitted to OHCC.

DMAS created standardized authorization forms for CCC Plus CMHRS services to be used by all participating MCOs. The DMAS standard authorization forms are located at http://www.dmas.virginia.gov/Content_pgs/mltss-trn.aspx. These forms are also available from the Authorizations section ofoptimahealth.com/providers (select Optima Health Community Care Authorization Forms).

CMHRS services for OFC/FAMIS will transition from Magellan to the MCOs as the DMAS change from Medallion 3.0 to Medallion 4.0 is implemented. Until the DMAS transition dates for each region, authorizations and claims for OFC/FAMIS members’ CMHRS services should be obtained from and submitted to Magellan.

Medication Linked to Falls

Review medications with all patients age 65 and older. Medication management can reduce interactions and side effects that may lead to falls.

• STOP medications when possible.• SWITCH to safer alternatives.• REDUCE medications to the lowest effective dose.

Check for psychoactive medications such as anticonvulsants, antidepressants*, antipsychotics,benzodiazepines, opioids, and sedatives-hypnotics*.

Review prescription drugs, over-the-counter medications, and herbal supplements. Some can cause dizziness, sedation, confusion, blurred vision, or orthostatic hypotension. These include anticholinergics, antihistamines, medications affecting blood pressure, and muscle relaxants.

Develop a patient plan that includes medication changes, and a monitoring plan for potential side effects. Implement other strategies, including non-pharmacologic options to manage conditions, address patient barriers, and reduce fall risk.

Review the American Geriatrics Society Beers Criteria for more information on medications linked to falls.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s STEADI tools and resources can help you screen, assess, and intervene to reduce your patient’s fall risk. For more information, visit cdc.gov/steadi.

*Antidepressants include TCAs and SSRIs. Sedative-hypnotics include Eszopiclone, Zaleplon, and Zolpidem.

HEDIS® and Medication Management in the Elderly

Prescription drug use by the elderly can often result in adverse drug events that contribute to hospitalization, increased duration of illness, nursing home placement, falls, and fractures. Despite widely accepted medical consensus that certain drugs increase the risk of harm to the elderly1, these drugs continue to be prescribed. Because older adults are more likely to take multiple medications for multiple conditions, they are also at higher risk of potentially harmful drug-disease interactions. Avoiding the use of high-risk drugs is an important, simple, and effective strategy to reduce medication-related problems and adverse drug events in older adults.2

Related HEDIS®3 Measures:

• Potentially Harmful Drug-Disease Interactions in the Elderly: Assesses adults 65 and older who have a specific disease or condition (chronic renal failure, dementia, history of falls) and were dispensed a prescription for a medication that could exacerbate it.

• Use of High-Risk Medications in the Elderly: Assesses adults 65 and older who had at least one dispensing event for a high-risk medication or who had at least two dispensing events for the same high-risk medication.

For more information, visit the Additional Information section at the bottom of the Formularies and Drug Lists page from the Pharmacy section of optimahealth.com/providers.
