Quality Performance Results

2022 Quality Performance Results:

ACO# Measure Name Rate ACO Mean
ACO-43 Ambulatory Sensitive Condition Acute Composite (AHRQ Prevention Quality Indicator (PQI) #91)   .
ACO-13 Falls: Screening for Future Fall Risk    
ACO-14 Preventive Care and Screening: Influenza Immunization    
ACO-17 Preventive Care and Screening: Tobacco Use: Screening and Cessation Intervention    
ACO-18 Preventive Care and Screening: Screening for Clinical Depression and Follow-up Plan    
ACO-19 Colorectal Cancer Screening    
ACO-20 Breast Cancer Screening    
ACO-42 Statin Therapy for the Prevention and Treatment of Cardiovascular Disease    
ACO-27 Diabetes Mellitus: Hemoglobin A1c Poor Control    
ACO-28 Hypertension (HTN): Controlling High Blood Pressure    

Please note, the ACO-40 Depression Remission at 12 months quality measure is not included in public reporting due to low sample size. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) also waived the requirement for ACOs to field a CAHPS for ACOs survey for PY 2020 through the Physician Fee Schedule Final Rule for Calendar Year 2021. Additionally, CMS reverted ACO-8 Risk-Standardized, All Condition Readmission and ACO-38 Risk-Standardized Acute Admission Rates for Patients with Multiple Chronic Conditions to pay-for-reporting, given the impact of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) public health emergency (PHE) on these measures.

ACO Participation Waiver:

The following information describes each arrangement for which our ACO seeks protection under the ACO Participation Waiver, including any material amendment or modification to a disclosed arrangement.   
  • Parties to the arrangements: Caravan Health ACO 43 LLC and ACO Participants
  • Date of arrangements: Effective January 1, 2023
  • Items, services, goods, or facility provided: See description below.
  • Date and nature of any amendments to the arrangements, if applicable: N/A 
Caravan Health ACO 43 LLC (“Company”) maintains and operates an accountable care organization (“ACO”) that participates in the Medicare Shared Savings Program (“MSSP”). Pursuant to Section 1899(f) of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. § 1395jjj), the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services (“HHS”) made available certain waivers of federal fraud and abuse laws in connection with the operation of ACOs that have entered into a participation agreement, as defined under 42 C.F.R. § 425.20, under the MSSP with the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (“CMS”).
 
The Company Board of Managers (the “Board”) has approved two arrangements for protection under ACO Participation Waivers. Use of the ACO Participation Waiver requires public disclosure of certain elements of the arrangement. This document establishes the public disclosure requirements set forth in the MSSP waivers. This document will be supplemented as additional arrangements arise consistent with the timing requirements set forth in the waivers.
 
Annual Wellness Visit Patients Initiative
 
The Board made a bona fide determination effective January 1, 2023, that the Annual Wellness Visit Patients Initiative (“AWV Patients Initiative”) is reasonably related to the purposes of the MSSP to manage and coordinate care for Medicare fee-for-service beneficiaries through the ACO. The AWV Patients Initiative is intended to increase the likelihood that patients whom CMS has identified as assigned or assignable to the ACO under the MSSP and whom CMS has recognized would benefit from an AWV will receive an AWV. The AWV Patients Initiative includes the provision of a single, in- kind, non-cash equivalent gift card of nominal value to patients whom CMS has identified as assigned or assignable to the ACO under the MSSP, and who complete an AWV during the current MSSP year with an ACO Participant participating in the AWV Patients Initiative while budgeted funds remain. The AWV Patients Initiative will be offered to all ACO Participants and ACO Participants must choose to participate on or before March 31, 2023.
