Anti Mandatory Mail Order Victory. A little noticed NYS Healthcare Law has gone under the radar amidst fast changes in Affordable Care Act tumult. AMMO – Anti-Mandatory Mail Order passed late Dec 2011 effective for groups renewing after Jan 11, 2012. A significant signal by Governor Cuomo to stand up to the billion dollar industry no doubt.
According to trade group Pharmacists United for Truth the PBM (pharmaceutical benefits managemnt) claim that mandatory mail order lowers costs proves otherwisee. Plan sponsors are routinely charged far more than retail price in mandatory mail order plans, and their lack of transparency keeps plan sponsors to detecting the unreasonable prices.
After spending a good part of a day in early March helping a NYS client faced with mandatory mail order I learned of this change. For certain medications the insurer limits retail pharmacy coverage. While the incentivisation of 90 day supply at 2 copays was attractive this has now declined to 2.5 copay. With few exceptions such as specialty pharmaceuticals retail pharmacists are given the same advantages and evening the playing field.
The National Community Pharmacists Association’s blog post below offers a helpful FAQ. Additionally with the steady decline of the local independent pharmacist a quality of personalized care has been eroded. The price paid in patient compliance and safety has received little attention. Independent Pharmacists have been the canary in the mine for fellow small businesses competing with large copra big box chain stores. At least now NYS is finally listening.
By Kevin Schweers
Community pharmacists in New York scored a significant win for their patients, communities and pharmacy choice in late 2011 with the enactment of the Anti-Mandatory Mail Order or AMMO with overwhelming, bipartisan backing. What lessons might the campaign in support of the AMMO law hold for community pharmacists across the country?
To find out, NCPA recently asked one of the legislation’s staunchest supporters and advocates to share his observations on the effort to enact the AMMO law. Craig Burridge, M.S., is Executive Director of the Pharmacists Society of the State of New York (PSSNY). Mr. Burridge credits PSSNY members as most instrumental to enacting AMMO over the fierce opposition of mandatory mail order proponents, principally large pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs). He notes people including Ray Macioci, Charles Catalano, Vinny Chiffy and literally hundreds of pharmacy owners helped win a hard fought battle by gathering tens of thousands of signatures on petitions from their patients and coordinating tens of thousands of phone calls, emails and letters.
What follows is a Q&A with Mr. Burridge, in hopes that his advice would benefit patients and independent community pharmacists in other states advocating for patient choice.
NCPA: When it comes to the forced or mandated use of mail order pharmacies, many of the concerns expressed by patients and the community pharmacists who care for them are not new and have, in fact, been voiced for a number of years. What made 2011 different in New York?
Mr. Burridge: In New York, consumers by the tens of thousands signed petitions at their local pharmacy against mandatory mail order. Patients wrote dozens of letters to the editor of many regional newspapers telling about their horror stories with mail order. Finally, pharmacy owners had had enough of losing their patients to self-dealing PBMs. Tens of thousands of phone calls to the Governor’s Office and to Legislators were made by pharmacy owners, their staffs and their patients in support of passage of the no mandatory mail order bill.
NCPA: One obstacle to ensuring patient choice of pharmacy is the myth of mail order savings. This persists in some minds despite what appears to be rampant mail order waste and studies demonstrating how health plan sponsors that incent or require the use of mail order can end up paying more for drugs. Did you encounter such misperceptions and, if so, what did you do to alter or overcome them?
Mr. Burridge: We did in New York. The PBMs came at us with ads stating that costs would go up and that it was a ‘prescription drug tax’ or that it would ‘prohibit mail order.’ We responded with evidence that exposed the ‘spreads’ being used at mail for generics and the fact that the legislation requires participating pharmacies to agree to the same reimbursement and the same co-pays.
NCPA: The health care benefits of a patient’s face-to-face consultation with a community pharmacist and the preference of most patients for going to a local pharmacy are both well-established. But how did you chronicle and reinforce the economic and tax benefits of buying local when it comes to pharmacies?
Mr. Burridge: According to national data (IMS Health) for 2009, the last year we had data before introducing legislation, 22.8 percent of the national drug spend was for mail order prescriptions. Using New York’s percentage of total drug spend (11 percent), we removed hospital expenditures and Medicaid (which had less than one percent mail order) and came up with a mail order drug spend in NY in access of $5.8 billion annually. New York State has no major mail order facilities so this represents thousands of lost pharmacy jobs.
NCPA: Like PSSNY, NCPA continually stresses to its members the importance of grassroots activism, whether it is at the federal or state levels or with local employers and leaders. Did you find that your memberships became more engaged than usual in 2011 and, if so, what did you do to encourage their further involvement?
Mr. Burridge: It helped to have the PBM industry fly in colleagues from around the country and host their own Lobby Day. They told legislators that New York’s pharmacies could survive on acute medications only. This only caused yet another round of thousands of phone calls from our pharmacists, their staffs and patients. Our grass roots turned into a raging grass fire. Livelihoods were at stake and our opponents showed their hand. They wanted ALL maintenance medications going to their wholly-owned out-of-state mail order facilities. Our legislators saw that too.
NCPA: What surprised you the most about your 2011 campaign against mandatory mail order?
Mr. Burridge: I’ve been doing this too long to be surprised. We expected the worst from our opponents and they did not disappoint us.
NCPA: What were some of your opponents’ most challenging arguments and how did you address them?
Mr. Burridge: That depends if you consider outright lies as a challenge. Their ads said that it was a “Prescription Tax” or, when that flopped, they said our bill “would prohibit mail order.” These were easily swept aside and only upset legislators who felt the PBM industry was accusing them of passing a tax on prescription drugs.
NCPA: Do you have any other words of wisdom that you would like to share with concerned patients or your colleagues in community pharmacy?
Mr. Burridge: Choosing one’s pharmacy should be a basic right. If the playing field is level, it only makes sense to buy local. Watch out for PBMs calling all maintenance medications so-called ‘specialty drugs’ as a way of getting around no mandatory mail order laws. We’ll have a lot more to say on that in the near future.

Lifetime and annual limits 
In years past, most health insurance policies had limits or “caps” on the benefits they would pay. These limits were on any health plan participant (individual or family) – either over a lifetime or in a plan year. If someone exceeded that limit, benefits ended. While this rarely occurred, it resulted in major financial troubles for the few people it hit. The new law does not allow lifetime limits on”essential health benefits”. The law also restricts annual limits from now until 2014, when their use will become more limited. However, the law doesn’t prevent a plan from excluding all benefits for a condition.
Lifetime limits
Employers must eliminate lifetime limits on essential health benefits.
Effective
This applies to all health plans, including grandfathered plans.
Grandfathered plans will lose their grandfathered status if they impose an overall annual or lifetime limit on the dollar value of essential benefits if their plan did not include that limit prior to March 23, 2010. Plans can keep their grandfathered status if they convert lifetime limits into an annual limit at a dollar value that is lower than the lifetime limit on March 23, 2010.
Annual limits
Employers must eliminate annual limits by 2014. Until then, plans may place only “restrictive” annual limits on essential health benefits. The limits have been set for plan years that begin:
- 9/23/2010 to 9/22/2011 – $750,000 annual limit
- 9/23/2011 to 9/22/2012 – $1.25 million annual limit
- 9/23/2012 to 12/31/2013 – $2 million annual limit
Annual limits must apply on an individual-by-individual (not family) basis.
Essential Health Benefits defined
According to the law, the list of essential health benefits must include:
- Ambulatory patient services
- Emergency services
- Hospitalization
- Maternity and newborn care
- Mental health and substance use disorder services, including behavioral health treatment
- Prescription drugs
- Rehabilitative and habilitative services and devices
- Laboratory services
- Preventive and wellness services and chronic disease management
- Pediatric services, including oral and vision care
The government has not released the final regulation on essential benefits. Until it does, the government will take into account an employer’s “good faith effort” to comply with reasonable consistent interpretation.

New Summary of Benefits Coverage Notice Summary of Benefits Coverage SampleSummary of Benefits Coverage Sample Reminder: New SBC Notice Requirements Take Effect Soon
After a six-month delay in the original effective date, group health plans (including grandfathered plans) will soon need to comply with a new requirement under Health Care Reform to provide a summary of benefits and coverage (SBC) so that employees can more easily compare insurance options.
The new SBC notice requirements are effective for plan years and open enrollment periods beginning on or after Sept. 23, 2012. If you need a refresher, the following are some key points for group health plans:
- An SBC must be provided to plan enrollees at specific times, such as upon application for coverage and at renewal, as well as upon request.
- Insured group health plans can satisfy the requirement if the issuer provides a timely and complete SBC to the participant or beneficiary.
- Combining information for different coverage tiers, different cost-sharing selections (such as levels of deductibles and copayments), and different add-ons to major medical coverage (such as FSAs, HRAs, HSAs, or wellness programs) into one SBC is permissible, provided the appearance is understandable.
- SBCs may be provided either as a stand-alone document or in combination with other summary materials (for example, an SPD), if the SBC information is intact and prominently displayed at the beginning of the materials and in accordance with the SBC timing requirements.
- The SBC must comply with certain appearance and format requirements and must use terminology understandable by the average plan enrollee; an SBC template along with instructions and related materials that may be used to satisfy the notice requirements, is available online.
The U.S. Department of Labor has released three sets of Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) which address a number of issues relating to the SBC notice requirements. The FAQs also make clear that, during the first year of applicability of the new SBC rules, penalties will not be imposed on plans that are working diligently and in good faith to provide the required content in an appearance that is consistent with the final regulations.

Employee Wellness Boosts Productivity
Companies in the Salt Lake City area know productivity is higher and health costs are lower when employees have ways to exercise and reduce stress during the work day, whether it is using a company gym, eating healthier in the cafeteria or taking regular breaks. A study to be published in Population Health Management says “presenteeism,” which means people coming to work with physical or emotional problems, reduces productivity. The Salt Lake Tribune (Utah)
Some of the most popular wellness services offered are providing resources and information at 76 percent, giving onsite seasonal fluvaccinations at 54 percent and hosting health fairs at 42 percent. Other wellness efforts include health and lifestyle coaching at 37 percent, health screening at 39 percent and smoking cessation programs at 34 percent.
Considering that obesity and other chronic health issues continue to impact the well-being of employees and an employer’s bottom line, more respondents on a national level are offering lower health care premiums for getting an annual health risk assessment and not using tobacco according to surveys. The ROI on wellness is starting to pay – wellness plans pay for itself.

With increase in demand and already shortages of Doctors the Obamacare – Affordable Care Act will put significant severe strains on patient access.
According to todays WSJ article – John C. Goodman: Why the Doctor Can’t See You “Here is the problem: The health-care system can’t possibly deliver on the huge increase in demand for primary-care services. The original ObamaCare bill actually had a line item for increased doctor training. But this provision was zeroed out before passage, probably to keep down the cost of health reform. The result will be gridlock.”
The Department of Health and Human Services, estimated the minimum number of primary care physicians to ensure “adequate supply” at 60 to 80 per 100,000 population. By 2020 an estimated 45,000 new PCP would ne needed 2020. But the number of medical-school students entering family medicine fell more than a quarter between 2002 and 2007.
The greatest demand will be for primary-care physicians. These general practitioners, internists, family physicians and pediatricians will have a larger role under the new law, coordinating care for each patient.
“Take preventive care. ObamaCare says that health insurance must cover the tests and procedures recommended by the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force. What would that involve? In the American Journal of Public Health (2003), scholars at Duke University calculated that arranging for and counseling patients about all those screenings would require 1,773 hours of the average primary-care physician’s time each year, or 7.4 hours per working day.”
In 2014 an expected 30 Million people will be added The expected wait time would increase form 3 weeks to about 2 months. The 2 month estimate is a approximately how long it takes to schedule a check up in Boston which had enacted universal healthcare 5 years ago. Furthermore, the positive measures to encourage preventive care such as healthy screenings and well-care will only add to the gridlock.
“When people cannot find a primary-care physician who will see them in a reasonable length of time, all too often they go to hospital emergency rooms. Yet a 2007 study of California in the Annals of Emergency Medicine showed that up to 20% of the patients who entered an emergency room left without ever seeing a doctor, because they got tired of waiting.” Be prepared for that situation to get worse even with Urgent Care Centers.
“A New York Times survey of dermatologists in 2008 for example, found an extensive two-tiered system. For patients in need of services covered by Medicare, the typical wait to see a doctor was two or three weeks, and the appointments were made by answering machine.However, for Botox and other treatments not covered by Medicare (and for which patients pay the market price out of pocket), appointments to see those same doctors were often available on the same day, and they were made by live receptionists.”
As with any economic model the shorter supply of provider will drive up costs. Aside form provider fees increasing, those who can afford concierge service and pay $2,000-$4,000 may be able to get same day services and easy access but for most Americans with insurance will be waiting longer to see their Doctors. The irony is that people with coverage will have limited access to care.

Bluecard PPO – Outside members home region, the PPO medical plan is known as BlueCard PPO. The BlueCard plan offers a network of quality doctors and hospitals known as the BlueCard Provider Network.
- freedom to seek care in-network or out-of-network;
- no need to select a primary care physician to coordinate your care;
- visit specialists directly — no referrals are required;
- no claim forms to submit when using an in-network provider;
- no balance bills when using an in-nework provider;
- wellness programs, including fitness reimbursement and discounts on alternative health care services, at no additional cost;
- enhanced programs to control and manage chronic conditions;
- preventive care for children and adults;
- enjoy in-network coverage anywhere in the United States when you use providers that participate in the Personal Choice or BlueCard PPO networks;
- worldwide coverage and recognition of the Blue Cross® symbol.
How Does it Work?
Blank Suitcase Logo
A blank suitcase logo on a member’s ID card means that the patient has Blue Cross Blue Shield traditional, POS, or HMO benefits delivered through the BlueCard Program.
“PPO in a Suitcase” Logo
You’ll immediately recognize BlueCard PPO members by the special “PPO in a suitcase” logo on their membership card. BlueCard PPO members are Blue Cross and Blue Shield members whose PPO benefits are delivered through the BlueCard Program. It is important to remember that not all PPO members are BlueCard PPO members, only those whose membership cards carry this logo. BlueCard PPO members traveling or living outside of their Blue Plan’s area receive the PPO level of benefits when they obtain services from designated BlueCard PPO providers.
How to Verify Membership and Coverage
Once you’ve identified the alpha prefix, call BlueCard Eligibility to verify the patient’s eligibility and coverage.
 |
1. Have the member’s ID card ready when calling. |
|
2. Dial 1.800.676.BLUE. |
Operators are available to assist you weekdays during regular business hours (7am – 10pm EST). They will ask for the alpha prefix shown on the patient’s ID card and will connect you directly to the appropriate membership and coverage unit at the member’s Blue Cross Blue Shield Plan. If you call after hours, you will get a recorded message stating the business hours.
Keep in mind BCBS Plans are located throughout the country and may operate on a different time schedule than Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield. It is possible you will be transferred to a voice response system linked to customer enrollment and benefits or you may need to call back at a later time.
International Claims
The claim submission process for international Blue Cross and Blue Shield Plan members is the same as for domestic Blue Cross and Blue Shield Plan members. You should submit the claim directly to Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield.

Aetna and Hunterdon HealthCare Partners Forge New Accountable Care Relationship
Hunterdon Healthcare employees and Aetna members in 5 NJ counties will benefit from new ACO committed to higher quality more coordinated care
HARTFORD, Conn.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Aetna (NYSE: AET) and Hunterdon HealthCare Partners today announced a new accountable care agreement that will improve the quality and cost of patient care, helping members and plan sponsors save money. Hunterdon Healthcare is establishing an Accountable Care Organization (ACO) to deliver a better patient experience, and aims to improve the quality of patient care while reducing the overall cost of care.
“Becoming an ACO not only supports our mission to deliver better access to primary care and specialist physicians, but will allow us to better provide integrated healthcare to improve the health of our community.”
“We are excited to bring our industry-leading technology and care management capabilities together with Hunterdon’s quality-driven team to offer highly coordinated and comprehensive care management to members in New Jersey,” said John Lawrence, president, Aetna New Jersey market. “Beginning this summer, 8,000 Hunterdon Healthcare employees and Aetna members will receive health care in this new patient-focused, accountable care model.”
An ACO is a group of health care providers who coordinate care and are accountable for cost, quality and patient satisfaction for the health care they provide.
“In the past several years, the healthcare industry has changed with the demands of health care reform. The industry trend is shifting from paying for services, regardless of patient outcomes, to paying for care that delivers better value, quality and patient satisfaction. Collaborating with Aetna will help Hunterdon Healthcare deliver better care at a better price. We think patients will see direct benefit from this approach,” explained Robert P. Wise, president and CEO, Hunterdon Healthcare.” Jeffrey Weinstein, executive director for Hunterdon HealthCare Partners added, “Becoming an ACO not only supports our mission to deliver better access to primary care and specialist physicians, but will allow us to better provide integrated healthcare to improve the health of our community.”
About the Hunterdon HealthCare Partners ACO
Under the new ACO agreement, 2,200 members in the Hunterdon Healthcare employee benefits plan, and approximately 5,700 fully insured Aetna members who live in Hunterdon, Mercer, Warren, Morris and Somerset Counties will be served by the ACO. Aetna members served by this new model are ones who primarily received care from Hunterdon Healthcare’s providers in the last 24 months, as well as those who seek care from Hunterdon Healthcare physicians following the start of the agreement.
Hunterdon Medical Center, more than 225 affiliated primary care physicians and specialists, and the affiliated ambulatory surgery, radiology, hospice, and other Hunterdon Healthcare facilities and providers will all be part of the ACO. Working together, and supported by a full suite of Aetna health information technology and care management capabilities, the providers will become part of a coordinated health care network and receive notices of any treatments and medications the patient may be receiving. As a result, the patients will receive an enhanced level of coordinated care in addition to the member benefits of their current Aetna plan.
Aetna and Hunterdon HealthCare Partners are implementing a payment model that will change the way Hunterdon Healthcare is reimbursed for care. Under the ACO agreement, Hunterdon Healthcare will be paid based on achieving certain quality, efficiency and patient satisfaction measures, which are designed to:
- improve the patient’s health care experience through greater care coordination and patient engagement;
- improve the health of populations; and
- reduce the cost of health care by aligning payment with quality, patient outcomes and value.
The measures include, but are not limited to:
- the percentage of Aetna members who receive recommended preventive care and screenings, such as increased cancer screenings, flu shots and other vaccinations;
- improved management of patients with chronic conditions such as diabetes, heart failure and asthma;
- reductions in hospital readmission rates; and
- reductions in Emergency Room visits by improving primary care access hours.
Aetna’s Technology Support
To support the full success of the ACO, Aetna will implement the following integrated technologies and capabilities for Hunterdon HealthCare Partners:
- health information exchange technology from Medicity, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Aetna, to enable the secure, two-way exchange of health information across a patient’s entire care team, including hospitals, physicians, labs, pharmacies and other ambulatory services;
- point-of-care clinical decision support services and the Active CareTeamSM desktop-based workflow tool to track, monitor, coordinate and report on patient health outcomes from ActiveHealth Management a wholly-owned subsidiary of Aetna; and,
- reporting tools that will help Hunterdon Healthcare providers evaluate how they are performing against their targeted clinical and financial outcomes.
About Hunterdon HealthCare Partners
Hunterdon HealthCare Partners was created by physicians and the Hunterdon Healthcare System, the parent organization of the Hunterdon Medical Center. The partnership’s goal is to provide the residents of Hunterdon County and the surrounding areas better access to integrated care delivered through their network of primary care and specialist physicians. For more information, contact Jeffrey Weinstein at Weinstein.Jeffrey@hunterdonhealthcare.org.
