EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
2009 HFP PLAN PERFORMANCE PROFILES 1
Introduction
The 2009 Plan Performance Profile Report provides an assessment of individual plan performance on certain contractual requirements, including measures related to the quality of care provided to children in the Healthy Families Program (HFP). This report is a compilation of information previously released in the 2009 Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set (HEDIS) and the 2009 Dental Quality Report. This report also includes coverage areas, and annual and monthly enrollment levels for each plan. These data provide the Managed Risk Medical Insurance Board (MRMIB) with detailed information related to how health, dental, and vision plans in the HFP met clinical and contractual performance standards. MRMIB uses these plan performance profiles to evaluate the quality of care provided in the HFP and to identify areas of focus to improve the quality of care for HFP children.
Performance Evaluation Criteria
The following data were used to evaluate plan performance for calendar year 2009:
• 2009 HEDIS results for health plans (12 measures/16 rates per plan)
• 2009 results of the HFP dental performance measures (8 measures/10 rates per plan)
• Enrollment trends
• Medical Loss Ratio Each plan profile contains a summary of the plan’s coverage areas, the plan’s enrollment trends, and summaries of the plan’s areas of achievement and areas for improvement. In addition, each profile includes tables and graphs of the plan’s performance over three years, from 2007 to 2009. Plan areas of achievement were determined by:
• Improvement in a HEDIS or dental quality measure rate of three percent or more from
2008 to 2009.
• HEDIS or dental quality measure rates three percent or more above the 2009 HFP weighted average for that measure.
Plan areas for improvement were determined by:
• Decrease in a HEDIS or dental quality measure rate of three percent or more from 2008 to 2009.
• HEDIS or dental quality measure rates three percent or more below the 2009 HFP weighted average for that measure.
Evaluation of plan performance also includes the plan reported Medical Loss Ratio for 2008-09.
Key Findings
Quality of Care: Health and Dental Plans Health Plans: 2009 HEDIS Rates Every health plan showed an increase in at least one HEDIS rate from the 2008 level. Six health plans had eight or more (out of 16) HEDIS scores that were three percentage points or more above the 2009 HFP weighted average:
• CalOptima – 9 rates
• Central California Alliance for Health – 9 rates
• Health Plan of San Mateo – 8 rates
• Kaiser Foundation Health Plan North – 9 rates
• Kaiser Foundation Health Plan South – 12 rates
• San Francisco Health Plan – 9 rates Six health plans had eight or more (out of 16) rates that `were three percentage points or more below the 2009 HFP weighted average:
• Anthem Blue Cross HMO - 12 rates
• Blue Shield EPO – 10 rates
• Blue Shield HMO – 10 rates
• Community Health Plan – 9 rates
• Molina Healthcare – 9 rates
• Ventura County Health Care Plan – 9 rates Although some health plans’ rates improved from 2008 to 2009, 2009 rates were actually lower than

2007 rates for many plans, particularly in Well Child Visits, 1st 15 Months, 6 or More. Overall, Children’s Access to Primary Care is high, with many plans showing rates over 90 percent for each age cohort. Many plans showed declining rates in important preventive measures including Childhood Immunizations, Well Child Visits, 1st 15 Months, 6 or More and Adolescent Well Care Visits. Plans need to do more to ensure HFP children get all necessary preventive care visits and immunizations, especially for the youngest children in their first fifteen months of life. The declining rates in immunizations among HFP health plans may be related to concerns around whether an ingredient in measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccines causes autism. In February 2011, the US Supreme Court ruled there is no causative link between the MMR vaccine and autism, which is consistent with recent research on vaccine safety. The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) continues to advocate for preventive care, including immunizations, as “a major component of pediatric health care and disease prevention.” Plans still have a long way to go to improve performance rates on Appropriate Testing for Pharyngitis and Chlamydia Screening in Women. Nearly all plans’ rates for Appropriate Testing for Pharyngitis, Mental Health Utilization, and Identification of Alcohol and Other Drugs were at or below the national 10th percentile rate for commercial plans with the following exceptions.
• Both Kaiser Foundation Health Plans, North and South, were the only health plans to achieve the national 90th percentile rate for commercial plans for Appropriate Testing for Pharyngitis in 2009.
• Kaiser Foundation Health Plan - North was the only health plan that did not have a rate at or below the national 10th percentile rate for commercial plans for Mental Health Utilization in 2009.
• Ventura County Healthcare Plan was the only plan that did not have a rate at or below the
national 10th percentile rate for commercial plans in 2009 for Identification of Alcohol and Other Drugs.
MRMIB will work with the health plans and a contracted external quality review organization (EQRO) to use the information from this report to identify quality improvement projects (QIP) at both the statewide level and individual plan level. MRMIB will contract with the EQRO in 2011 and begin the QIPs in 2012. Dental Plans: 2009 Dental Performance Rates As noted in the 2009 Dental Quality Report, there are significant differences in performance in dental exclusive provider organizations (EPO) compared dental health maintenance organizations (HMO). That said, most of the dental plans realized increases of three percentage points or more from the 2008 level in their performance rates. Two dental plans, both dental EPOs, had five or more rates that were three percentage points or more above the 2009 HFP weighted average:
• Delta Dental – all 10 rates
• Premier Access Dental – all 10 rates Four dental plans, all of which are dental HMOs, had decreases in at least one dental quality rate from the 2008 level. Four dental plans had five or more dental rates three percentage points or more below the 2009 HFP weighted average:
• Access Dental – all 10 rates
• HealthNet Dental – all 10 rates
• SafeGuard Dental – all 10 rates
• Western Dental – 8 rates To address the low performance of dental plans, MRMIB has undertaken an oral health quality improvement project – Healthy Families - Healthy Smiles. The focus of the project is ensuring that young children, ages 0 to 7, enrolled in HFP, receive appropriate preventive services. The project will use a variety of strategies including identification and training of dentists willing to treat young children, incentives, and community partnerships to improve treatment and prevention

of dental caries. The project is underway, and results will be reported in 2012. Enrollment Health Plans Overall, enrollment increased from 2008 to 2009. However, there were three health plans that had decreases in enrollment from 2008 to 2009: Anthem Blue Cross EPO, Anthem Blue Cross HMO, and Community Health Plan. Factors affecting health plan enrollment in 2009:
• The 2008-09 BY did not begin until February 2009 due to delays in the passage of the state budget.
• There were two open enrollment periods in 2008-09: November – December 2008 for the 2008-09 BY, and April - May 2009 for BY 09-10.
• In February 2009, HFP premiums increased for income categories B and C.
• In Orange, Riverside, and San Bernardino counties, Anthem Blue Cross (ABC) changed its plan from EPO to HMO, which required members to choose a new plan.
• Several large health plans - Blue Shield, Anthem Blue Cross, and Health Net – stopped covering two or more counties that they had covered in Benefit Year 2008-09. This impacted enrollment in several smaller, local health plans in those counties.
• There was a spike in enrollment in July 2009 due to implementation of the HFP wait list. People may have rushed to apply prior to implementation of the wait list, increasing enrollment levels in July 2009. The wait list ended in September 2009. Consequently, there were increases in enrollment from September 2009 through December 2009 as members who had been on the wait list were enrolled.
Dental Plans Delta Dental was the only dental plan and Vision Service Plan was the only vision plan to show decreased enrollment in 2009. A limitation on dental plan choice was implemented November 1, 2009, requiring newly enrolled HFP members to select a low-cost dental plan. Members must remain in a low-cost dental plan for at least two years before they can switch to higher-cost dental plan during the next open enrollment period.
READING THE REPORT
2009 HFP PLAN PERFORMANCE PROFILES 4
Reading the Plan Performance Profiles
Consider the following when reading this report:
• Reported coverage areas are plan coverage areas during the 2009-10 Benefit Year (BY).
• Enrollment levels by county represent the median monthly enrollment level for 2009 in each county for a given plan. Median was used because it is less sensitive to extreme values than the mean and provides a better estimate of annual enrollment given the fluctuations in enrollment levels from the 2008-09 BY to the 2009-10 BY. For plans with multiple counties in their coverage areas, the estimated enrollments were summed to obtain the estimated total annual enrollment for that plan for the 2009 calendar year. For plans with only one county in their coverage area, the median monthly enrollment for 2009 is the plan’s estimated total annual enrollment.
• Three percentage points or more was the criteria for significant change in quality measure scores. This was applied to changes from 2008 to 2009 as well as the distance above or below the 2009 HFP weighted average.
• Health and dental plan quality rates were evaluated against the 2009 HFP weighted average. Rates that were three percentage points or more above the 2009 HFP weighted average are significant. Comparisons of plan rates against state and national benchmarks for HEDIS are reported in the 2009 HEDIS Report for HFP.
• Three years of performance measure data are included in the plan profiles: 2007 – 2009. Where rates are shown as zero (0) in the plan HEDIS charts, this indicates the plan’s sample size was too small to report for that year.
• For Mental Health Utilization and Identification of Alcohol and Other Drugs, many plan scores are displayed as zero (0). This may occur for one of two reasons: the rate of service provision was less than one half of one percent, or these services were not utilized
during 2009.
• For dental performance measures, all rates except Annual Dental Visit are zero for 2007 because the remaining seven dental performance measures were not collected in 2007.
HEALTH PLAN PERFORMANCE PROFILES
ALAMEDA ALLIANCE FOR HEALTH
2009 HFP PLAN PERFORMANCE PROFILES 6
Alameda Alliance for Health has been a Healthy Families health plan since 1998 and is also a health plan in the Medi-Cal Managed Care program. Alameda Alliance was the Community Provider Plan in Alameda County in Benefit Year 2009-10 and provides services in Alameda County. Anthem Blue Cross HMO and Blue Shield HMO stopped covering Alameda County in 2009-10, which impacted Alameda Alliance for Health’s enrollment. The estimated annual enrollment (median monthly enrollment) for Alameda Alliance for Health in 2009 was 9,123. The following charts provide trends in enrollment for calendar years 2008 and 2009 and HEDIS results for 2007 through 2009. Below is a summary profile of Alameda Alliance for Health.
