Improving Health Outcomes
Client: AmeriChoice Health Plans (NY, NJ, MA)
Summary
AmeriChoice Health plans have approximately 133,000 Medicaid and Medicare members, many of whom are racial/ethnic minorities. As part of its growth plan, management had a three-fold objective:
- Decrease customer attrition through the development of targeted programming
- Decrease medical expenses due to misuse of health services
- Integrate member related information between payor and provider to improve service
Process
M. Davis and Company, Inc. designed and administered a health assessment survey to provide information needed to create the foundation for future planning. The survey was administered to over 25,000 members, during a fifteen-month period, via Computer Assisted Telephone Interviewing. Interviews were conducted in English, Spanish and Russian. The survey/assessment was a “proprietary” design and MDAC developed all necessary computer programming and processes for the Health Assessment Data Management System and provided the client with online, real-time access to both the data and a dashboard of reports
Results
The following results were achieved:
- Compliance with mandatory reporting requirements
- Preliminary snapshot of the health and financial risks of new customer populations
- Development of the historical baseline for negotiating capitation rates
- Reduced the health plan’s financial exposure by initiating better management of high risk health plan members identified during the survey process
