Patrius Health offers the interactive Patient Health Snapshot (PHS) to help provide you with a complete picture of your Blue Advantage^® patients’ health. The PHS gives you easy access to important patient health information, including:

• Gaps in care
• Chronic conditions
• Diagnoses
• Recently received healthcare
• Drug information

Log in to myBlue Provider and click Blue Advantage Resources on the left-hand menu to sign on to the Patrius Health provider website. Once logged in, you will find the Patient Health Snapshot link under Provider Tools in the menu at the top of the Patrius Health provider website. Refer to the PHS each time your Blue Advantage patient comes into the office as gaps in care and diagnosis information often changes. In preparation for patient office visits, you can also print the PHS by clicking the blue “View/Print PHS” button in the upper-right corner of the application. 

PHS Quick Reference Guide

With the exception of the Conditions/Diagnoses sections, the PHS displays information for a 12-month rolling period, not a calendar year. The Conditions/Diagnoses section displays information for the full prior year and the current year-to-date data.

Filter Options

You can view patient data for an individual patient or all patients in a medical group. To view data for all patients, choose the “All Medical Group Patients” tab. You will then have an option to sort the list of patients by choosing the downward triangle to the right of each column. This enables you to filter the list by the number of gaps in care or potential conditions. You can also sort to view patients with a low, medium, high or very high risk of non-adherence with medications. 

You can easily select patients from the list and then view and print that list by clicking the blue View/Print PHS button on the right-hand side.

Care Gaps – Non-Compliant or Compliant/Controlled (Data Lag: Up to 7 Days)

• See recommended screenings for the patient according to nationally endorsed quality metrics and how often they should be performed.
• If the patient is non-compliant on any of these screenings, consider performing or ordering the service to ensure the patient has no gaps in care.
• See our Blue Advantage Quality Measures Coding Guide and Tips for Addressing Gaps in Patient Care for help in closing gaps in care.

Recent Care (Data Lag: Up to One Month)

This section will indicate whether the Blue Advantage patient has received an Annual Wellness Visit in the current year. Recent care includes: 

• Annual Wellness Visit for Blue Advantage Patients
• ER Visits/Admissions/Readmissions

Conditions/Diagnoses (Data Lag: Up to One Month)

This section includes diagnoses that map to a CMS Hierarchical Condition Category (HCC) received for the patient in the current or prior calendar year.

In addition to showing the diagnosis codes and descriptions, the Conditions/Diagnoses section of the Blue Advantage PHS will display the corresponding HCC code and description for each diagnosis. A flag will indicate if we received the condition from multiple sources and a column will indicate the source of the condition (i.e., Claim, Supplemental Data, HR360 HRA, or AWV). 

Sources of Data for Patient Conditions/Diagnoses: Information in this section includes data obtained from multiple sources – claims, internal or vendor medical record reviews, and health risk assessments. In cases where a diagnosis was coded as a result of an internal or vendor chart review, the “Provider” column on the PHS will be populated with the provider name (when available) or labeled as “Supplemental Data.” In the case of an in-home health risk assessment, the provider name will be populated with “HRA.”

Medication Adherence (Data Lag: Up to 30 Days)

This section shows information about your Blue Advantage patients’ medication adherence in three specific condition-related measures:

• Diabetes: Medication Adherence for Diabetes Medications
• Statins: Medication Adherence for Cholesterol
• RAS (Renin Angiotensin System Antagonists): Medication Adherence for Hypertension

The Medication Adherence section will be populated if your patient has a prescription that falls within one of these specific measures. You will see the most recently filled medication for the specific measure, as well as the last fill date. If the patient takes more than one medication in the specific measure listed, only the most recently filled medication will display. If there is no prescription that corresponds to a specific measure, that measure will not appear for that patient in this section.

Proportion of Days Covered (PDC): The PDC is calculated using the quantity and days’ supply values submitted on pharmacy claims for all drugs in the measure. It assesses how consistently a patient fills their medications for the time period measured. A PDC threshold of 80% is used to indicate adherence, meaning patients are considered adherent if they have filled their prescriptions for at least 80% of the days expected based off the days’ supply indicated on their prescription.

• Note: The PDC displayed is calculated using a rolling 12-month period (not year-to-date) to better reflect their long-term adherence, when available. 

Recommended Action: Based on your patient’s medication usage, you may see some clinical suggestions to consider in the column titled “Recommended Action.” Click the action link to view the details about each response. 

• Note: Medications in this section are highlighted if there is a recommended action for the provider to consider.

Care Management Programs (Data Lag: Up to 7 Days)

The Care Management Programs section displays information when your patients qualify for our care management programs: Chronic Condition Management and Serious Illness Care Program.

You can see the programs available for your patients. The "Enrolled” status lets you know your patient is participating in the program. You can click the “Eligible” link for additional information that explains the available program and how to enroll.
