Published by The Indiana Association of Osteopathic Physicians and Surgeons, Inc.
The Indiana Graduate Medical Education (GME) Board continues to meet at least every other month and has been charged to increase the number of primary care residencies in the state of Indiana. Those include family medicine, outpatient-based community pediatrics, Mark S. Cantieri, D.O. emergency medicine, IOA President OBGYN, general surgery, outpatient-based internal medicine, and psychiatry. It is hoped that with consistent state funding over the next 10 years more than 350 new positions can be created and medically underserved populations in Indiana will be better served. The goal is for the state to help finance the launch of new programs and for the programs to receive federal dollars once they have graduated their first class. The Indiana Commission of Higher Education (Commission) created a scoring rubric for applicants and solicited programs that wish to expand or create new programs near the end of 2016. In January of 2017 we presented the first grants of $45,000 per resident per year. Those receiving grants included Fort Wayne Medical Education Program for $270,000 to support two family medicine residents for each of the next three years; Reid Hospital and Medical Services in Richmond, IN for $270,000 to support two family medicine residents for each of the next three years; Indiana University School of Medicine for $855,000 to support five residents in obstetrics (one position), gynecology (one position), psychiatry (one position), pediatrics (one position) and emergency medicine (two positions). Up to $75,000 is available to programs desiring to do a feasibility study for the creation of GME. If you are aware of any programs or facilities that may want more information about expanding or creating new programs contact the Commission at (317) 464-4400. Mr. Eugene Johnson can assist you.

WMD UPDATE
By: Colonel Charles A. Holt, D.O. Pets often freak out, like their owners, in natural disasters and often end up missing. For advice on what to do, see: www.cdc.gov/disasters/petprotect. As suggested before, go to MESHintel@meshcoalition.org and sign up for their daily EP briefs. A little HX quiz: last time Sarin gas used as a WMD? Damascus, Syria on 20 August 2012. What caused 1/2 of all OCT/NOV 2012 Hurricane Sandy deaths? People who drowned in their homes. Last ricin assassination by injection? Bulgarian critic of communist government, Georgi Markov, in Sofia, in 1978 (poison tipped umbrella). In the LEGAL arena, several articles have been written about the need for: more HAZMAT training for emergency responders (ERs)/streamlined property value reappraisals and building codes and common sense dispensing of amounts of meds by pharmacies post-disasters/streamlining out-of-state volunteers pre-disasters. As well, simplify "presumptive death certificates" when chances of finding remaines area slim, such as after the 9/11/2001 WTC bombing. The AHRQ (Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality) has a website with many recommendations for improving healthcare including sepsis prevention. Chemical weapons: the US had 10X the amount that Syria had. Alzheimer's disease in the US costs >$200B per year affecting >5M persons. Cognitive impairment is 7X more likely to cause you to be institutionalized than heart disease or cancer. We are down to 1,550 strategic nuclear warheads in the US inventory. Scary testimony before Congress: since 9/11/2001, most of the money spent/increase in knowledge gained/training/capability to respond to a large Chem/Bio attack has evaporated. Just try to remember the last training you were exposed (pun intended) to! The war on drugs in Afghanistan: as of 2013, the US reportedly had spent $10B to curb the production of opium. Yet, when it sells for up to $200 per kilo versus $1 per kilo of wheat...you do the math! Afghan remains the numero uno producer ($1B crop) and the amount grown continues to go up; as does the number of Afghan addicts. The Taliban, despite banning its local consumption, uses its profits to fund itself. Many Afghanis get hooked while performing menial jobs in neighboring countries and bring back chemicals to process the opium. Some sources have stated that Iran is the major conduit to Europe. Myanmar (Burma) is reportedly the second biggest producer. The opium production goes hand in hand with corruption; some sources rank Afghanistan as the 3rd most corrupt; only behind Somalia and North Korea. We can only hope and pray and work toward a better world in 2017.
35TH ANNUAL WINTER UPDATE The Continuing Medical Education (CME) Committee once again built on previous success by assembling a well-received and well-attended program offered during the IOA’s 35th Annual Winter Update held Friday through Sunday, December 2 – 4, 2016, at the

TIPS FROM OUR CONSULTANT By: Joy Newby, LPN, CPC, PCS Newby Consulting
Chronic Care Management Services The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) included an expansion of chronic care management (CCM) services in the “Medicare Program: Revisions to Payment Policies Under the Physician Fee Schedule and Other Revisions to Part B for CY 2017” (Final Rule 2017) published in the November 15, 2016 Federal Register. CMS added Medicare coverage of CCM services effective 01-01-2015. Although CPT 2015 included three codes to describe CCM services, CMS determined that Medicare coverage was only available for CPT code 99490. 99490
Chronic care management services, at least 20 minutes of clinical staff time directed by a physician or other qualified health care professional, per calendar month, with the following required elements: multiple (two or more) chronic conditions expected to last at least 12 months, or until the death of the patient; chronic conditions place the patient at significant risk of death, acute exacerbation/decompensation, or functional decline; comprehensive care plan established, implemented, revised, or monitored.
According to professional claims data for CPT code 99490, utilization is steadily increasing but remains low considering the number of eligible Medicare beneficiaries. In the Final Rule for 2017, CMS notes that “to date, approximately 513,000 unique Medicare beneficiaries received the service an average of four times each, totaling $93 million in total payments.” CMS notes that in a number of forums and in public comments to the CY 2016 Physician Fee Schedule (PFS) final rule, many practitioners complained that the service elements and billing requirements are burdensome, redundant and prevented them from being able to provide the services to beneficiaries who could benefit from them. These commenters also stated that CPT code 99490 is underutilized because it is underpaid relative to the resources involved in furnishing the services, especially given the extensive Medicare rules for payment. CMS notes that initial information from practitioner interviews conducted as part of the CCM evaluation efforts indicate that practitioners overwhelmingly meet and exceed the 20-minute threshold time for billing CCM. Typically, these practitioners reported spending between 45 minutes and an hour per month on CCM services for each patient, with times ranging between 20 minutes and several hours per month. These practitioners explained that CCM beneficiaries tend to exhibit a higher disease burden, are more likely to be dually eligible for Medicare and Medicaid, and are older than the general Medicare fee-for-service population. Section 103 of the MACRA requires CMS to assess and report to Congress (no later than December 31, 2017) on access to CCM services by underserved rural and racial and ethnic minority populations and to conduct an outreach/education campaign. According to CMS, the outreach/education campaign is underway. Based on comments as well as the MACRA mandate, CMS has made several changes for CCM Services. Beginning with dates of service on or after 01-01-2017, in addition to Medicare coverage for 99490 (20 minutes of clinical staff time), CMS added coverage for the following complex chronic care management CPT codes: 99487
99489
Complex chronic care management services, with the following required elements: multiple (two or more) chronic conditions expected to last at least 12 months, or until the death of the patient, chronic conditions place the patient at significant risk of death, acute exacerbation/decompensation, or functional decline, establishment or substantial revision of a comprehensive care plan, moderate or high complexity medical decision making; 60 minutes of clinical staff time directed by a physician or other qualified health care professional, per calendar month each additional 30 minutes of clinical staff time directed by a physician or other qualified health care professional, per calendar month (List separately in addition to code for primary procedure)
Winter 2017
HOOSIER D.O.
Page 9
CMS is following CPT coding instructions that less than 60 minutes of clinical staff time in the service period should not be reported separately, and similarly, less than 30 minutes in addition to the first 60 minutes of complex CCM in a service period should not be reported. Medical Decision-Making – Complex CCM services require and include medical decision-making of moderate to high complexity (by the physician or other billing practitioner). Again following CPT coding instruction, CMS notes that CPT codes 99487, 99489 and 99490 may only be reported once per calendar month and only by the single practitioner who assumes the care management role with a particular beneficiary for the service period. This provision means that a given beneficiary is eligible to receive either complex or non-complex CCM during a calendar month, but not both. Practitioner Eligibility Physicians and the following qualified health care professionals may bill CCM services: ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓
Nurse Practitioners Physician Assistants Certified Nurse Midwives Clinical Nurse Specialists
CMS notes that CCM will be billed most frequently by primary care practitioners, although in certain circumstances specialty practitioners may provide and bill for CCM. The CCM service is not within the scope of practice of limited license physicians and practitioners such as clinical psychologists, podiatrists, or dentists, although practitioners may refer or consult with such physicians and practitioners to coordinate and manage care. CCM services that are not provided personally by the billing practitioner are provided by clinical staff under the direction of the billing practitioner’s general supervision. General supervision means when the service is not personally performed by the billing practitioner, it is performed under his or her overall direction and control although his or her physical presence is not required. The CCM service must be an integral part of services provided by the billing practitioner. CMS follows CPT’s definition of “clinical staff”: A clinical staff member is a person who works under the supervision of a physician or other qualified health care professional, and who is allowed by law, regulation, and facility policy to perform or assist in the performance of a specific professional service, but does not individually report the professional service. The clinical staff can be employees or working under contract to the billing practitioner whom Medicare directly pays for CCM. Time spent directly by the billing practitioner or clinical staff counts toward the threshold clinical staff time required to be spent during a given month in order to bill CCM services. Non-clinical staff time cannot be counted toward the threshold. Patient Eligibility Patients with multiple (two or more) chronic conditions expected to last at least 12 months or until the death of the patient, and that place the patient at significant risk of death, acute exacerbation/ decompensation, or functional decline are eligible for CCM services.
HOOSIER D.O.
Winter 2017
Page 10
Billing practitioners may consider identifying patients who require CCM services using criteria suggested in CPT guidance (such as number of illnesses, number of medications or repeat admissions or emergency department visits) or the profile of typical patients in the CPT prefatory language. Initiating Visit (New billing opportunity) For new patients or patients not seen within one year prior to the commencement of CCM, Medicare requires initiation of CCM services during a face-to-face visit with the billing practitioner (an Annual Wellness Visit [AWV] or Initial Preventive Physical Exam [IPPE], or other face-to-face visit with the billing practitioner). This initiating visit is not part of the CCM service and is separately billed. Practitioners who furnish a CCM initiating visit and personally perform extensive assessment and CCM care planning outside of the usual effort described by the initiating visit code may also bill HCPCS code G0506 G0506
Comprehensive assessment of and care planning by the physician or other qualified health care professional for patients requiring chronic care management services, including assessment during the provision of a face-to-face service (billed separately from monthly care management services) (Addon code, list separately in addition to primary service).
G0506 is reportable once per CCM billing practitioner, in conjunction with CCM initiation. Patient Consent Obtaining advance consent for CCM services ensures the patient is engaged and aware of applicable cost sharing. It may also help prevent duplicative practitioner billing. A practitioner must obtain patient consent before furnishing or billing CCM. Informed patient consent need only be obtained once prior to furnishing CCM, or if the patient chooses to change the practitioner (in a different practice) who will furnish and bill CCM. Although patient cost-sharing applies to the CCM service, most patients have supplemental insurance to help cover CCM cost sharing. Also CCM may help avoid the need for more costly services in the future by proactively managing patient health, rather than only treating severe or acute disease and illness. about:
Consent may be verbal or written but must be documented in the medical record, and includes informing them ✓ ✓ ✓
The availability of CCM services and applicable cost-sharing That only one practitioner can furnish and be paid for CCM services during a calendar month The right to stop CCM services at any time (effective at the end of the calendar month)
Newby Note: We recommend physicians and qualified health care professionals continue to obtain written consent from the patient. CCM Service Elements The CCM service is extensive, including structured recording of patient health information, maintaining a comprehensive electronic care plan, managing transitions of care and other care management services, and coordinating and sharing patient health information timely within and outside the practice. The following elements are included for both complex and non-complex CCM unless otherwise specified. CCM services are typically provided outside of face-to-face patient visits, and focus on characteristics of advanced primary care such as a continuous relationship with a designated member of the care team; patient support for chronic diseases to achieve health goals; 24/7 patient access to care and health information; receipt of preventive care; patient and caregiver engagement; and timely sharing and use of health information.
Winter 2017
HOOSIER D.O.
Page 11
Structured Recording of Patient Health Information ✓
Record the patient’s demographics, problems, medications, and medication allergies using certified Electronic Health Record (EHR) technology. This means a version of certified EHR that is acceptable under the EHR Incentive Programs as of December 31st of the calendar year preceding each Medicare PFS payment year. For more information, visit https://www.cms.gov/Regulations-andGuidance/Legislation/EHRIncentivePrograms.
Comprehensive Care Plan ✓
✓ ✓ ✓
A person-centered, electronic care plan based on a physical, mental, cognitive, psychosocial, functional, and environmental (re)assessment, and an inventory of resources (a comprehensive plan of care for all health issues, with particular focus on the chronic conditions being managed) Provide the patient and/or caregiver with a copy of the care plan Ensure the electronic care plan is available and shared timely within and outside the billing practice to individuals involved in the patient’s care Care planning tools and resources are publicly available from a number of organizations
A comprehensive care plan for all health issues typically includes, but is not limited to, the following elements: ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓
Problem list Expected outcome and prognosis Measurable treatment goals Symptom management Planned interventions and identification of the individuals responsible for each intervention Medication management Community/social services ordered A description of how services of agencies and specialists outside the practice will be directed/coordinated Schedule for periodic review and, when applicable, revision of the care plan
Access to Care & Care Continuity ✓
✓ ✓
Provide 24-hour-a-day, 7-day-a-week (24/7) access to physicians or other qualified health care professionals or clinical staff, including providing patients (and caregivers as appropriate) with a means to make contact with health care professionals in the practice to address urgent needs regardless of the time of day or day of week Ensure continuity of care with a designated member of the care team with whom the patient is able to schedule successive routine appointments Provide enhanced opportunities for the patient and any caregiver to communicate with the practitioner regarding the patient’s care by telephone and also through secure messaging, secure Internet, or other asynchronous non-face-to-face consultation methods (for example, email or secure electronic patient portal)
Comprehensive Care Management ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓
Systematic assessment of the patient’s medical, functional, and psychosocial needs System-based approaches to ensure timely receipt of all recommended preventive care services Medication reconciliation with review of adherence and potential interactions Oversight of patient self-management of medications Coordinating care with home and community based clinical service providers
HOOSIER D.O.

Page 12
Transitional Care Management ✓ ✓
Manage transitions between and among health care providers and settings, including referrals to other clinicians, follow-up after an emergency department visit, or facility discharge Timely create and exchange/transmit continuity of care document(s) with other practitioners and providers
Concurrent Billing The billing practitioner cannot report both complex CCM and non-complex CCM for a given patient for a given calendar month. CCM cannot be billed during the same service period as HCPCS codes G0181/G0182 (home health care supervision/hospice care supervision), or CPT codes 90951–90970 (certain End-Stage Renal Disease services). CCM should not be reported for services furnished during the 30-day transitional care management service period (CPT 99495, 99496). Complex CCM and prolonged Evaluation and Management (E/M) services cannot be reported the same calendar month. Consult CPT instructions for additional codes that cannot be billed concurrent with CCM. There may be additional restrictions on billing for practitioners participating in a CMS sponsored model or demonstration program. Time that is reported under or counted towards the reporting of a CCM service code cannot also be counted towards any other billed code.

PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE (continued from page 1)
State Medical Association’s (ISMA’s) House of Delegates (HOD) meeting in September and introduced a resolution requesting approval of the Interstate Medical Licensure Compact. This compact standardizes physician licensure requirements and simplifies the licensure process for physicians who need multi- state licensure. They voted to send it to a committee for review after an opposing resolution was introduced at the same time. It hopefully will come back up at the next ISMA HOD meeting. The American Osteopathic Association’s (AOA’s) Bureau of Osteopathic Specialists convened a task force this past fall to make recommendations to the AOA’s House of Delegates regarding Osteopathic Continuous Certification (OCC). They have produced five resolutions. The five components of OCC are: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.
Active Licensure Lifelong Learning/Continuing Medical Education (CME) Cognitive Assessment Practice Performance Assessment and Improvement Continuous AOA Membership
The more contentious components of these resolutions would decouple AOA board certification from AOA membership and require only 60 credits of CME every three years unless your specialty college or state licensure required more. If you would like to review these resolutions as well as the other resolutions being considered at the AOA 2017 Midyear Business Meeting go to: http://www.osteopathic.org/inside-aoa/events/midyearmeeting/Pages/resolutions.aspx. If you are keeping count there are now 33 colleges of osteopathic medicine plus 15 branch campuses. There are COM’s in 31 states. There are seven colleges now in the process of creation or application. These include Texas, Florida, California and Idaho. The Commission on Osteopathic College Accreditation (COCA) currently is performing a major revision of its standards. If you would like to see these and comment go to: http://www.osteopathic.org/inside-aoa/accreditation/COMaccreditation/Pages/proposed-coca-standards.aspx. The COCA also is taking a very critical look at having new standards that tie new COM’s and those COM’s seeking class size increases to have adequate graduate medical education positions in place.

forward. As of February 15, 2017, 49% of all programs (613 out of 1244) have achieved accreditation or have submitted application. 59% of these have dual accreditation, 24% are strictly ACGME accredited and 17% are strictly AOA accredited. A further breakdown of the numbers reveals that 309 programs are accredited, 304 have completed their submissions, 412 are applying, 137 are closing, and 82 programs are unsure how they will proceed. I attended the AOA’s Advocacy for Healthy Partnerships conference in Tampa, FL, on January 18 - 19. Topics included: emerging issues in health policy, grassroots advocacy and best practices for meeting with policymakers. This was followed by the Osteopathic Medical Educators and Leaders conference through January 21. This meeting brought together educators, regulators and leaders from across the osteopathic medical profession to create new ideas and perpetuate faculty development. February 26 through March 2, I was in Honolulu, HI, for the AOA Midyear meeting, “Taking one for the team”. March 8 - 12 I am in Orlando, FL, to attend the ACGME Annual Education Conference. Finally, April 4 - 7 I’ll be in Washington D.C. to attend an AOA Board of Trustees executive committee meeting, D.O. Day on the Hill, and AOA cluster meetings. I’ll fly to Orlando on the 7th to give away my daughter, Jyl, in matrimony. I am looking forward to meeting with the first and second year students from the Marian University College of Osteopathic Medicine (MUCOM) on April 20, attending an IOA Board of Trustees meeting that evening and a meeting of the Indiana Graduate Medical Education task force the next day. I hope to see many of you at our annual spring update as well. The IOA’s Continuing Medical Education Committee (CME) continues to put together outstanding CME programs.

DEAN’S UPDATE
By: Donald J. Sefcik, D.O., MBA Vice President for Health Professions and Dean Marian University College of Osteopathic Medicine AROUND CAMPUS. In mid-October 2016, Charles Henley, D.O., Founding Associate Dean of Clinical Affairs at the Marian University College of Osteopathic Medicine (MUCOM) accepted the invitation to serve as the Founding Dean of a new college of osteopathic medicine being planned at Sam Houston State University. Luke Nelligan, D.O., is serving as Interim Chair of Clinical Education and coordinating most of the activities formerly supervised by Dr. Henley. Dr. Nelligan has accomplished much in a brief period of time—making significant changes to the MS3-MS4 clerkship curriculum and several of the processes that we use to instruct our students. In late October 2016, MUCOM welcomed Rhonda Garrison into a new position in the college, Assistant Dean for the Continuum of Physician Education. Ms. Garrison has over two decades of experience in health care; several years of that time she managed the residencies at Westview Hospital. Her degree in Public Health with a concentration in Healthcare Administration is from Indiana University, Indianapolis, IN. Rhonda is responsible for aligning and managing the educational experiences for MUCOM’s medical students from matriculation through graduation. Her primary focus is on the design, delivery and coordination of the clinical activities that occur during the third and fourth year of medical school. Prior to joining Marian University, Rhonda was the Director of the Community Healthplex where she managed multiple departments, over 50 full-time employees, and was responsible for a multi-million dollar budget. On December 16 - 17, 2016, the Indiana Area Health Education Center (AHEC) and the MUCOM Meaningful Medicine Mentoring Program co-sponsored a workshop: Bridges Out of Poverty, led by Terie DreussiSmith, M.A.Ed. Almost eighty participants—first and second year osteopathic medical students, alongside faculty mentors—gained knowledge and skills necessary to care more effectively for patients coming from environments of poverty. Workshop topics centered on barriers to healthcare for patients living in poverty. Participants studied the impact of poverty on mental models (a lens through which individuals view the world, which also influences how one identifies resources and potential opportunities), family structures, and the hidden rules of economic class. A special thanks to Emily Young, M.D., Assistant Professor of Pediatrics and Co-Director of MUCOM’s Meaningful Medicine Mentoring Program for coordinating the activities and weathering the ice storm to attend.
ACCREDITATION. Two additional “firsts” were experienced in February. Another “first” will be experienced in May. • The results of the AOA Intern/Resident Registration Program (February 6, 2017) and the National Resident Match Program (March 17, 2017) revealed to the members of the Class of 2017 where they will complete their postdoctoral training after graduation. We wish them every success! • February 8 - 10, 2017, the AOA Commission on Osteopathic College Accreditation (COCA) was on the campus conducting a site visit. We expect that based upon the visit, we will receive full accreditation status during the April 2017 COCA meeting in Washington, D.C. • On May 7, 2017, MUCOM will graduate its first class and establish its inaugural cohort of MUCOM alumni. COMMUNITY RELATIONS. MUCOM continues to design a more robust training relationship with St. Vincent Hospital and the Community Health Network. Our goal is to have our students complete the majority of third-year (core) rotations within these two systems. Electives and other rotations will continue to be done throughout the state, the Midwest, and around the country. Discussions are ongoing with several partners regarding the creation of interprofessional training units that will serve to prepare both our medical students and students in the Leighton School of Nursing in an innovative, collaborative, team-based manner. It is very likely that there will also be pharmacy students engaged in this training model. THANK YOU! As noted previously, on May 7, 2017, MUCOM will graduate its inaugural class. It is clear to all that without the time, effort, wise counsel, and passion for osteopathic medical education that the IOA has dedicated to help support MUCOM, so much could not have been achieved in such a short time. Thank you for all that you D.O.
