15
NY State Exchange Challenges State Exchange presented unique challenges compared to our typical business model: Requirement to track Primary Physician Shared accumulators with multiple vendors, requirement for visibility into claims/accumulator details Plans required deductible to apply before Copay Systems ability to scale with increased enrollment 15
16
Challenge Participating provider selection and application of correct benefits An online solution was necessary to satisfy the need of nearly two-thirds of the affected customers. Members who elected the covering plans were required to select a primary physician prior to having services rendered to avoid a co-pay. Member was not limited to changes or specialty within a plan year. 16
17
TriZetto Solution Participating provider selection and co-payment mapping Plan designs included plans with both optional and mandated Primary Physician (PP) selection. The plan designs dictated a zero dollar copay for an office visit when a member goes to their PP. Our Plan Building team worked with TriZetto to find the best solution that would meet the requirements. The Plan Building team and TriZetto recommended use of the HMO module. It was a simple process to install the HMO module and TriZetto also provided onsite training. Housing the participating provider data in Qiclink provides us with accessible data for customer service, ID Cards and reporting. 17
18
Challenge Shared Accumulators Plan designs dictated the ability to share accumulators for out of pocket and deductibles between medical claims and at least the PBM, but also potentially vision and other vendors. Customer service required visibility into the details behind the accumulators, i.e. the pharmacy claims must be visible to POMCO Group’s customer service staff, not just the current accumulator value. System must be robust enough to handle overage reporting, enrollment matching, plan year rollover, and other functional challenges. 18
19
TriZetto Solution Shared Accumulators The POMCO Group Pharmacy interface team performed a gap analysis on the TriZetto ZPBM program and recommended that POMCO Group proceed with implementation of a customized version. POMCO Group now receives daily pharmacy claims files that run through this program and produce claims which keep shared Medical/Pharmacy deductible and out of pocket accumulators in sync. TriZetto provided support to the POMCO Group team during testing and QA, as well as ongoing product support. 19
20
Challenge Appropriate application of deductibles and co-payments System had to account for deductible payments ahead of co-payments. 20
21
TriZetto Solution Appropriate application of deductibles and co-payments In QicLink, a copay is always taken first and then the deductible applies. Plan designs required that the deductible must be met first, and then the cost sharing copay or coinsurance is applied to the remainder of the allowed amount. The POMCO Group team worked with TriZetto on a work- around, however, they had an adverse affect on claims processing and/or claims related extracts. The POMCO Group team proceeded with requesting a TriZetto custom enhancement to provide the needed functionality. TriZetto met the timeline and delivered the required enhancement as an easy to install upgrade. This enhancement was a must have as the services impacted are commonly utilized services like office visits, lab and surgery. 21
22
Challenges and TriZetto Solutions Despite unusual challenges presented, TriZetto was able to provide solutions. Each solution has provided claims and customer service staff with the tools and data they need to efficiently perform their jobs. With support from TriZetto, POMCO Group was able to open customer service lines ahead of schedule and perform all contracted services despite the unprecedented enrollment More to come in 2015…. 22
