SUMMARY:The Future of Specialty Care is Value Based
DESCRIPTION:In specialty care\, challenges like overutilization; fraud\, waste\, and abuse (FWA); and wide variations in provider performance drive up costs. Health plans often respond by making blanket reimbursement cuts\, narrowing networks\, and implementing complex utilization management (UM) protocols. But these approaches often delay care\, frustrate providers\, and rarely deliver meaningful impact. \nIn this webinar\, we’ll explore how value-based therapy models offer a smarter\, more sustainable solution. By aligning incentives\, reducing administrative burden\, and rewarding quality outcomes\, value-based programs can address inefficiencies without penalizing high-performing providers. While not one-size-fits-all\, this model works for most and delivers measurable benefits for payers\, providers\, and members. \nWe’ll also be joined by CORA Physical Therapy\, a leading outpatient therapy provider with more than 250 clinics across 10 states. They will share insights into the strategic application of value-based care and explain why therapy is a strong candidate for innovative payment and care delivery models. Learning Objectives • Identify the key challenges in specialty care and understand why traditional cost-control strategies often fall short. \n\nExplore how value-based care models can be applied to specialty disciplines to improve outcomes\, reduce administrative burden\, and ensure fair provider compensation.\nExamine a real-world case study from CORA Physical Therapy to understand how value-based care can be implemented and the measurable impact on cost\, quality\, and provider satisfaction.\n\nSpeakers H. Kelley Riley\, MD\, MBA\, Chief Medical Officer\, Health Network One \nMartin Bilowich\, Senior Advisor\, Health Network One \nTom Austin\, Senior Vice President\, Strategic Finance\, CORA Physical Therapy \nModerator: Kristin Gasteazoro\, Chief Growth Officer\, Health Network One

SUMMARY:From Access to Outcomes: Transforming Maternal and Infant Health
DESCRIPTION:Access to reliable healthcare is critical for maternal and infant health—but for too many Medicaid families\, transportation challenges create barriers that put mothers and babies at risk. Missed prenatal appointments\, delayed postpartum care\, and limited access to support services can contribute to serious complications and poor outcomes. MTM Health is committed to breaking down these barriers. Through innovative non-emergency medical transportation (NEMT) solutions\, including on-demand rides\, specially trained drivers\, and concierge-level coordination\, we help pregnant and postpartum members access the care they need\, when they need it. \nIn this webinar\, we’ll explore how MTM Health partners with health plans and communities to improve maternal and infant outcomes by combining transportation access with Mobile Integrated Health (MIH) solutions. Our certified Community Health Workers bring care directly into the home to connect Medicaid members with midwives\, doulas\, and chronic condition management resources\, while building trust and empowering mothers to take charge of their birth experience. Join us to hear success stories\, learn how we’re supporting states in the Transforming Maternal Health (TMaH) Model\, and discover proven strategies for ensuring healthier beginnings for mothers and babies across rural\, suburban\, and urban communities. \n

SUMMARY:Specialty Care Management: The Hidden Lever Plans Can't Afford to Overlook
DESCRIPTION:Market forces\, including margin erosion\, looming budget cuts\, and ongoing clinician shortages\, are pressuring managed care leaders to deliver care more cost-effectively – without compromising quality. Yet when it comes to trimming costs\, specialty services\, such as eye care\, outpatient therapy\, dermatology\, and others\, are often overlooked. And this could be costing you millions. For example\, in eye care\, several commonly used Part B injectable drug treatments for various retinal conditions can cost $2\,000 to $3\,000 for a single injection. But with a step therapy program that utilizes a low-cost alternative with a similar safety and effectiveness profile when indicated\, health plans have been shown to save $1.6M per 100K members. Therefore\, strategic specialty care management can generate significant savings while improving outcomes. It can also help improve HEDIS scores and other quality measures. \nDon’t leave specialty care on autopilot. Join this webinar to learn how your health plan can: \n• Lower costs \n• Improve quality metrics \n• Reduce administrative burden \n• Drive network efficiency \n• Enhance member experience \nSpeakers: \nH. Kelley Riley\, MD\, MBA\, Chief Medical Officer\, Health Network One \nAfrouz Motedaeiny\, OD\, Senior Medical Director\, Premier Eye Care \nModerator: \nKristin Gasteazoro\, Chief Growth Officer\, Health Network One \n \nHealth Network One (HN1) is a leading specialty management company providing value-based solutions that help health plans improve outcomes. With a nationwide network of credentialed providers\, HN1 ensures high-quality specialty care in eye care\, outpatient therapies\, behavior analysis\, dermatology\, podiatry\, and more.

SUMMARY:Curb Diabetes Complications and Costs
DESCRIPTION:Diabetes can lead to serious complications\, and one of the costliest — and least discussed — is diabetic foot amputations. Even more surprising is the mortality rate for individuals who have experienced an amputation which is higher than that of many cancers. While the reality is discouraging\, the leading cause of many amputations\, foot ulcers\, is preventable. Join us for an informative session to learn more about this serious issue facing your members with complex diabetes and how you can better manage it. \nKey takeaways: \n• Learn about diabetic foot complications and the impact they have on overall health \n• Understand how to identify members at risk of foot complications and how to target them for a virtual care program \n• Discover how individuals with previous foot complications including amputations can be highly motivated and engaged with monitoring solutions \n• Hear how one Medicaid plan partnered with Podimetrics to lower costs and improve outcomes for their most complex members \nDiabetic amputations represent a significant indicator of health inequity. Implementing an impactful program can help reach your most vulnerable members\, not only supporting their foot health but also addressing their social determinants of health. \nPresenters: \nDavidica Brodersen \nVice President of Enterprise Health Services \nPodimetrics \nGary Rothenberg\, DPM \nMedical Director \nPodimetrics \n \nPodimetrics provides a virtual care solution combining advanced remote monitoring with personalized support\, empowering individuals with complex diabetes to reduce complications\, lower costs\, and improve outcomes. Our approach begins with diabetic foot health and addresses the broader health challenges faced by people with diabetes. At the core of our solution is the SmartMat™—a scientifically validated technology integrating clinical intelligence and real-time monitoring to detect complications before they start. By enabling timely\, targeted interventions\, we help payors\, providers\, and patients prevent serious complications\, saving lives and limbs.

SUMMARY:Shifting from Traditional to Transformational Care: Reimagined Roles and Strategic Partnerships within MCOs to Deliver High Quality Outcomes
DESCRIPTION:MCOs must move beyond traditional roles to spark transformational change. Advancing population health goals and improving health outcomes requires purposeful collaboration from cross-sector community partnerships. BlueCross and BlueShield of Illinois (BCBSIL) is committed to disrupting health disparities through targeted\, strategic partnerships. In this presentation\, BCBSIL and two organizational partners\, PS2G and HealthCare Dynamics International (HCDI)\, share strategies for collective impact and call on MCOs to shake up the population health landscape by reimagining their role within it. \nBy leveraging existing community resources and partnering with established CBOs and trusted community stakeholders\, we develop sustainable\, structural initiatives to reduce health disparities for hard-to-reach populations. This presentation explores how BCBSIL’s partnership with PS2G and HCDI has amplified engagement efforts through an integrated community approach. PS2G’s program to reduce food insecurity through economic investment with their Growing Homes initiative and Dion’s Chicago Dream Vault and HCDI’s on-the-ground engagement approach using human-centered design and their Parachute Methodology showcases the vital nature of embedding lasting\, culturally responsive interventions to reduce health disparities and improve health outcomes. In this presentation\, BCBSIL demonstrates the critical nature of building an agile coalition of support for at-risk populations – beginning with the MCO. \n \nPresenters: \nSuzanne Letang \nClinical Strategy Manager \nBlue Cross and Blue Shield of IL \nJean Drummond \nPresident and CEO \nHCD International \nDeidre Sherman \nChief Customer Officer \nPS2G \nRavi Sankar \nSr. Partner \nPS2G

SUMMARY:Reporting on the 2024 Medicaid Adult Core Set Behavioral Health Quality Measures Intended to Drive Quality and Advance Behavioral Health
DESCRIPTION:To support their efforts to improve behavioral health in Medicaid and Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP)\, Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) identified a core set of 18 behavioral health quality measures for reporting by state Medicaid and CHIP agencies. This Core Set\, which consists of 7 measures from the Child Core Set and 11 measures from the Adult Core Set\, will be used by CMS to measure and evaluate progress toward improvement of behavioral health in Medicaid and CHIP. Beginning with 2024\, reporting of all the behavioral health quality measures on the Child Core Set and the Adult Core Set is mandatory. \nJoin us to learn about the Medicaid mandatory reporting requirements on behavioral health quality measures. Many states may not be aware of these 2024 mandatory reporting requirements\, or which measures they are required to report to CMS. This webinar aims to inform and raise awareness for managed care customers including Medicaid\, health systems\, MCOs\, ACOs\, and key stakeholders such as PHDMs representing medical\, pharmacy\, and quality on this new reporting mandate. \nSpeaker \nSamuel Stolpe\, PharmD\, MPH \nHead of Healthcare Quality Strategy Strategic Customer Group \nJohnson & Johnson Innovative Medicine \n\nEmail Me Details
