What is the member list? Sent monthly to POs –POs will receive each month once list is available in their EDDI folders –POs are responsible for distributing to all care managers working in participating practices as soon as possible Patients on list are eligible for care management and are attributed to a MiPCT Physician based on BCBSM data. –List is source of truth. If a patient is included on the monthly list, practice unit staff can assume the patient has BlueHealthConnection, is part of a participating employer group, and is eligible to receive care management services. –If patient is not on list, cannot assume they will be eligible for care management services in the future –List is relatively stable and should not change that much from month-to-month. May see more movement in the 1 st quarter of every year due to the renewal process 2
