How is Oregon Medicaid Organized?
• >50% of babies born in Oregon are Medicaid• 16% of all Oregonians are in Medicaid• 85% of Oregon providers participating• 11% percent of total state budget• Fastest growing portion of state budget
Why Transform?
• Recognition that health care costs were not sustainable and we do not get the health outcomes for the money that we spend.
• After 100s of hours of stakeholder meetings, tribal consultation and community meetings, a health transformation plan for Oregon’s Medicaid program was developed.
• Better Health, Better Care, Lower Costs!!

Key Health System Transformation Components
• Coordinated Care Organizations (CCOs)– Community level accountability for better health, better
care and lower costs– New models of integrated care and that are patient
centered and team-focused; integrated across physical, behavioral and oral health.
– Governance by a partnership of providers of care, community members and stakeholders in the health system who have financial responsibility and risk
– A global budget that grows at a sustainable, *fixed rate with payment alternatives that incent positive health outcomes.
– Use of non-traditional health care workers (peer wellness specialists; community health workers; patient navigators)

Transformation Contracting Process
• Request for Application (RFA)• Application Review and Certification Processes• Created Internal Workstreams for Planning and
Implementation(Inter-Agency)• Created improved communication models with Contractors
and Stakeholders• Implemented over 4 Months(August to November, 2012)• Established a Transformation Center
CCOs Governed Locally
State law says governance must include: •Major components of health care delivery system•Entities or organizations that share in financial risk•At least two health care providers in active practice
– Primary care physician or nurse practitioner– Mental health or chemical dependency treatment
provider•At least two community members•At least one member of Community Advisory Co
Community Advisory Council
• Majority of members must be consumers.• Must include representative from each county government
in service area.• Duties include Community Health Improvement Plan and
reporting on progress.

Patient-Centered Medical Homes
– Patient-Centered Primary Care Homes (PCPCHs)• 2703 Health Home SPA
– More than 400 clinics have applied and been certified as PCPCHs in Oregon

Safety Net Providers & Alternative Payment Model
• State Plan Amendment (SPA 12-08) submitted to CMS for FQHC & RHC Alternate Payment Methodology (APM)
• CMS approved the SPA August 13, 2012 • FQHC and RHCs can choose to use an APM under
Section 1902(bb)(6) of the SSA which requires the state to pay at least what the clinic would have received on PPS
• Purpose of APM is to allow clinics to innovate in managing the health of populations by engaging their patients in ways that do not currently qualify as billable medical visits
16
CCO Incentive Measures • PCPCH enrollment percentage• Adolescent well-care visits• Developmental screenings in the first 36 months of
life• Depression screenings and follow up plan• Childhood immunization status• Mental, physical, and dental health assessments
within 60 days for children in DHS custody
Sparks of Innovation
• CCOs are making funding available to primary care practices to specifically to increase their mental health integration.
• We have a CCO that is working on information sharing between primary care, juvenile justice, and other social services.
• CCOs meet regularly in learning communities to share ideas just like these.
What Have We Learned?
• Transformation is really hard and it takes time• It costs money to transform (new infrastructure)• Healthcare integration is hard work and it takes time• Maintaining institutional knowledge is critical• Healthcare transformation includes cultural
transformation(Organizational Dynamics)• Flexibility spawns a variety of CCO organizational models
(Sub-contractors, delegation)• Writing an integrated contract doesn’t make you an
integrated system
What Have We Learned?
• Timing is Important (PPACA Impact) what else is on your plate?
• CMS is a great partner in this journey• Communicate, communicate, communicate• Be flexible - what we did yesterday may not be the
process tomorrow
