October DY8R2 Reporting
Oct

DSRIP Online Reporting System
Please note that the checkboxes under the APMs section on the Category A tab may not appear to save if the provider is using Internet Explorer for their browser. If the provider can switch browsers (e.g., Google Chrome, Firefox, etc.) the provider will be able to see the saved selections.
There is conflicting guidance in the October DY8 Reporting Companion for Alternative Payment Methodologies (APMs).
The companion document mentions that the question “Please describe the benefits and/or challenges the provider has experienced with their VBP arrangement(s)” is required. However, under the Alternative Payment Methodologies (APMs) section on the Category A tab, the question “Please describe the benefits and/or challenges the provider has experienced with their VBP arrangement(s)” only appears if “Yes” is selected for the question: “Is this arrangement new since completing Category A required reporting in October DY7?”
If the provider has a response for the question “Please describe the benefits and/or challenges the provider has experienced with their VBP arrangement(s),” please select “Yes” for the new APM/VBP arrangement question and include in your benefits and challenges response that the answer to the new APM/VBP arrangement question should be “No”.
Providers may also choose to not provide a response when “No” is selected for a new APM/VBP arrangement.
If additional contacts need access to the online reporting system for the October DY8 reporting period, then please complete and submit an RHP Contact Change Form. RHP Contact Change Forms should be sent to
TXHealthcareTransformation@hhsc.state.tx.us
. The RHP Contact Change Form can be found on the bulletin board and on the Waiver website under 1115 Medicaid Waiver Tools and Guidelines.
Costs and Savings
An updated version of the Costs and Savings FAQ document responding to all outstanding provider questions is
attached.
All providers should review the updated Costs and Savings FAQ document.
If providers have identified extremely helpful resources related to calculating costs and savings, return on investments, etc., then please share these resources with HHSC by emailing them to
TXHealthcareTransformation@hhsc.state.tx
Core Activities
Deleting Secondary Drivers and Change Ideas in the Reporting Template: if a provider has multiple Secondary Drivers and associated Change Ideas, certain rules need to be followed. Based on the current functionality, if a provider has, for example, five secondary drivers and wants to delete the 2nd one, erasing it in the template will also delete the 3rd-5th Secondary Drivers. To avoid this:
Providers can select “Edit” for this Core Activity and copy/paste information from Secondary Drivers #3-#5 into Secondary Drivers #2-#4. This would include the Secondary Driver name, all of its Change Ideas, and the response to the progress and challenges question. It would be best for the provider to highlight and copy/paste the text from these fields in the formula bar. (They should not copy/paste the cells themselves as this will override conditional formatting and data validation.)
If for some reason a provider is not able to copy and paste as instructed above, you can keep this secondary driver in the template and confirm in the progress and challenges that it needs to be removed – and we can do it on the back end. This Core Activity will still be in the RHP plan update template, so you will need to confirm the deletion in that template as well.
To update Category C measure bundles or measures on a Core Activities tab, providers need to select Edit option that will allow them to update Category C measure bundles or measure selection for a particular Core Activity.
Providers should review their Other Core Activities to see if they can be moved on the menu. To do that – provider would need to delete an existing Other Core Activity (if it is under Other Core Activity Grouping) and replace it with the one on the menu.
Providers would need to do this in October DY8 reporting template and the same change will need to be reflected in the RHP Plan update template for DY9-10.
HHSC has developed a file that lists all providers’ Core Activities, Secondary Drivers and Change Ideas that were used to populate the reporting and the RHP Plan update templates. See
attachment.
