STAR RATINGS - Because average just isn’t good enough


STAR RATINGS
Because average just isn’t good enough
The Medicare ADVANTAGE (MA) Health plans’ Star strategy continues to be critical to its implementation, success and survival.  For a MA Plan to receive a bonus it means an immediate and successful execution of a multi-disciplined strategy across departments.  It’s easier said than done.

CMS will continue adjusting thresholds, curving the Star Ratings year after year in an effort to separate the remarkable from the ordinary.  Now is a critical time – MA Plans must examine not just this year’s score and what contributed to it, but their Plan’s score history in the Stars program and what it says about the enterprise’s overall approach to key issues such as:

Quality of care,
• Provider contracting and management,
• Data management,
• Member services and engagement,
• Model of care,
• Pharmacy management, and
• Risk adjustment

HPP Management Group, Corp., has been working on the critical factors that drive your Stars score for more than 15 years.  Since the inception of the Star Bonus Program, we have supported dozens of clients, including small regional plans, multi-market players, and multiple Special Needs Plans (SNPs).  We know what works and what doesn’t, and we see where MA health plans continue to miss real opportunities to greatly impact their Star score.

Now that we’re in the home stretch of the Bonus Program, there is no time to delay. Today you need to identify opportunities to increase your score for 2016, implement an enterprise-level strategy, and carefully monitor your progress over the next plan year.  We can help you every step of the way.

Don't Lose 9% of Your Medicare Payments.



Don't Lose 9% of Your Medicare Payments.

Are you prepared for payment reform? With HHP Management Group, you won’t need to. We’ll guide you to success, and make sure you avoid penalties for PQRS, MU, MIPS and more programs.

With PQRS, Meaningful Use, and new incentives there for the taking, there’s significant value-based revenue on the line for providers.

If the government gives you money, you can expect that it will look to audit your results. Since 2011, CMS has disbursed nearly $20 Billion under the Medicare and Medicaid Electronic Health Records (EHR) Incentive Programs, to nearly half a million eligible professionals. It should come as no surprise that CMS now intends to audit at least 5% of Meaningful Use attesters. And the early results are not positive as nearly a quarter of professionals audited to date have failed! The audits are required by the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act, which created the Meaningful Use Incentive program.

Your solution:  HPP Management Group, Corp.
