Emergency Department Diversion. Managed care plans must provide access to services in a way that assures access to primary and urgent care in the most effective settings and minimizes inappropriate utilization of emergency department (ED) services. MCPs are required to identify high utilizers of ED services and implement action plans designed to minimize inappropriate ED utilization. Measure: The percentage of members who had TBD ED visits during the twelve month reporting period. Statewide Approach: MCPs will be evaluated using a statewide result, including all regions in which an MCP has membership. ODJFS will use the first calendar year of ABD managed care membership as the baseline year (i.e., CY2007). The baseline year will be used to determine a minimum statewide performance standard and a target. The number of members with an ED visit used to calculate the measure for the baseline year will be adjusted based on the number of months of ABD managed care membership in the baseline year. An MCP’s second calendar year of ABD managed care program membership (i.e., CY2008) will be the initial report period of evaluation, and penalties will be applied for noncompliance. Report Period: For the SFY 2008 contract period, a baseline level of performance will be established using the CY2007 report period (and may be adjusted based on the number of months of ABD managed care membership). For the SFY 2009 contract period, results will be calculated for the reporting period of CY2008 and compared to the CY2007 baseline results to determine if the minimum performance standard is met. Target: TBD Minimum Performance Standard: TBD Penalty for Noncompliance: If the standard is not met and the results are above TBD%, then the MCP must develop a corrective action plan, for which ODJFS may direct the MCP to develop the components of their EDD program as specified by ODJFS. If the standard is not met and the results are at or below TBD%, then the MCP must develop a Quality Improvement Directive.

Emergency Department Diversion. Managed care plans must provide access to services in a way that assures access to primary and urgent care in the most effective settings and minimizes inappropriate utilization of emergency department (ED) services. MCPs are required to identify high utilizers of ED services and implement action plans designed to minimize inappropriate ED utilization. Measure: The percentage of members who had four or more ED visits during the six month reporting period. For an MCP which had membership as of January 1, 2006: Prior to the transition to the regional-based approach, MCP performance w'ill be evaluated using an MCP's statewide result for the counties in which the MCP had membership as of January 1. 2006. The minimum performance standard and the target in the Appendix (4.b) will be applicable to the MCP's statewide result for the counties in which the MCP had membership as of January 1, 2006. The last reporting period using the MCP's statewide result for the counties in which the MCP had membership as of January 1, 2006 for performance evaluation is July-December 2007; the last reporting period using the MCP's statewide result for the counties in which the MCP had membership as of January 1, 2006 for performance incentives {Appendix 0) is July-December 2008. For any MCP which did not Have membership as of January 1, 2006: Performance wi 11 be evaluated using a regional-based approach for any active region in which the MCP had membership. Regional-Based Approach: MCPs w'ill be evaluated by region, using results for all counties included in the region. The reporting period will be a full calendar year. ODJFS will use the first full calendar year of data (i.e.. CY2007) as a baseline from all MCPs serving an active region to determine a minimum performance standard and a target for that region. CY 2008 will be the first reporting year that MCPs will be held accountable to the performance standards for an active region, and penalties will be applied for noncompliance. Performance measure results for that region will be calculated after a sufficient amount of time has passed after the end of the report period in order to allow for claims runout.
