Summary
Medical Mutual has released a provider tip sheet for the Health Outcomes Survey (HOS), a yearly random sample survey for Medicare Advantage members that evaluates how effectively Medicare Advantage Organizations help members maintain or improve their physical and mental health. This is guidance for providers on specific questions to ask patients and resources to offer related to five key health measures.
Action Required
Providers should incorporate the suggested patient assessment questions into routine visits for Medicare Advantage members, focusing on five key areas: physical health, mental health, physical activity, bladder control, and fall risk. Consider utilizing Medical Mutual's available resources including Care Navigation (1-877-480-3105), Case Management (1-800-258-3175), and Chronic Condition Management programs (1-800-590-2583) for appropriate patients.
