F. Value-Based Payment and/or Service Delivery Model

This section details the proposed Oklahoma Model: Regional Care Organizations (RCOs), multi-payer quality metrics, and episodes of care.

Based on stakeholder feedback, technical assistance, and CMS feedback, we made the following changes to this section of the SHSIP:

  • Clarification of how Oklahoma can reach the 80% threshold of value based payments (VBP).
  • In order to achieve a decline in per capita expenditures, the Per Member Per Month (PMPM) growth rate will be capped by the state to ensure that cost targets are met.
  • Page 100 has been changed to reflect that the Health Care Payment and Learning Action Network continuum of payment will serve as a guide as the State develops direct links to population health outcomes within RCO adopted APAs.
  • Clarification has been added to explain that the model has an option for partial capitation arrangements.
  • Clarification has been added regarding the role of the Provider Advisory Committee. The Committee will be an overarching statewide committee that will consist of those providing care within the RCO model.
  • Clarification has been added to address that the State Governing Body will have a formal charter that defines the scope and authority, term limits and rotating seats.
  • The Board of Accountable Providers (BAP) will include representation from provider types (or their representative organizations) active in the RCO’s healthcare delivery system.
  • Clarification has been added to explain that the Community Advisory Board will be comprised of consumers, patients and advocates, who will form a majority of the membership.
  • The descriptions of Joint Replacement and COPD Episodes of Care have been updated (SHSIP, Figure 36, pg. 123).
  • Clarification has been made to the model tenets to acknowledge the model will sustain activities/practices and processes that already exist and are showing they meet the triple aim. Stakeholders have expressed that they want to preserve currently successful integrated health care delivery models.
  • Clarification has been made that as the RCO matures, it is envisioned that other private markets could be incorporated as desired by commercial insurers.
