Federally Facilitated Exchange Policy Issues Federally Facilitated Exchanges should take into account quality when serving up consumer plan results beginning with the first open enrollment period in 2013. Rather than waiting until 2016 to show quality ratings, the Federally Facilitated Exchange should display quality data for plans as soon as it is available to assist consumers in making a high quality plan choice. This aligns with the Triple Aim of improving the quality of care, reducing the cost of care and improving the experience. Federally Facilitated Exchanges should recognize the marketplace contributions of community-based insurers and should work to ensure regulations do not unduly favor national carriers. Community based carriers ensure a vibrant and competitive marketplace and often have more member-centric service philosophies. We opposed the absence of a complete regular order consideration of the Equitable Access to Care and Health Act, HR 1814, by Rep Aaron Schock, which would create a new religious exemption to the individual mandate. This bill was approved by the House under suspension of the Rules on Community Engagement for Healthy Lifestyles Coalitions, Afterschool, AmeriCorps and Community Organizations Improving the health of an entire community goes beyond doctor-patient visits, to population health efforts directed at vulnerable populations. Recognizing the complexity of health challenges facing young people and the strong intersection between community coalition efforts, afterschool approaches and improved health, Marshfield Clinic has developed a sustainable infrastructure to unite the efforts of its clinics with grassroots coalitions, afterschool programs, tribal communities and other community stakeholders. Marshfield clinic believes that high quality afterschool programs are a credible venue to improve the health and education of children and communities. Afterschool programs are poised to assist children to develop and reinforce lifelong healthy habits to stem the tide of chronic disease and to reduce the incidence of lifestyle related disease related to alcohol, tobacco and other substance abuse; high risk sexual behavior; intentional and unintentional injuries and violence; overweight, obesity and lack of physical activity; and, tobacco use and exposure. There is a critical need for strategic action at the federal level to counter the obesity epidemic in our nation. Chronic diseases related to obesity such as diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure and certain cancers are the leading causes of premature death and disability. Marshfield Clinic will support legislation to implement policies that take a comprehensive approach to obesity prevention, addressing nutrition and physical activity in a broad variety of environments including communities, businesses, schools and afterschool programs. To this end, Marshfield Clinic supports federal funding designed to improve the health and education outcomes of youth, children and families. Examples of funding streams that are of particular importance include: Corporation for National Service AmeriCorps Program; Department of Education 21st Century funding; and, the Department of Health and Human Services Child Care Development Block Grant; Center for Disease Control Childhood Obesity Prevention and Community Transformation grants; etc. Privacy and Security provisions of ARRA The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act expands current Federal privacy and security protections for health information. Marshfield clinic has specific concerns about: Providing transparency to patients by allowing them to request an audit trail showing all disclosures of their health information- including treatment, payment and operations- made through an electronic record. Electronic health record (EHR) users or maintainers must provide requesting individuals with an accounting of protected health information disclosures made during the three years prior to the request (but only for as much of that three year period during which the EHR was in use). Marshfield Clinic is concerned about the potential costs and administrative burdens of this provision. Covered entities must comply with requests to restrict the disclosure of an individuals protected health information if the disclosure is to a health plan for purposes of carrying out payment or health care operations and the information pertains solely to a health care item or service paid for out-of-pocket by the individual. Marshfield Clinic is concerned about the potential costs and administrative burdens of this provision. In using, disclosing or requesting protected health information, covered entities must limit themselves, to the extent practicable, to limited data sets or the minimum necessary information. Marshfield Clinic is concerned about the potential costs and administrative burdens of this provision. Marshfield Clinic supports provisions strengthening enforcement of Federal privacy and security laws by increasing penalties for violations and providing greater resources for enforcement and oversight activities. Meaningful Use of health information technology On December 30, 2009, the Centers for Medicare & Medicare Services (CMS) and the ONC released two regulations required by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act that lay the foundation for meaningful use of certified electronic health record (EHR) technology. Rules issued by CMS outline provisions governing the EHR incentive programs, including defining the central concept of meaningful use of EHR technology. Final regulations issued by ONC set initial standards, implementation specifications, and certification criteria for EHR technology. Marshfield Clinic is vendor of a proprietary electronic medical record, and closely follows federal developments of the HHS office of the national coordinator and the HIT Policy and Standards Committees to assure meaningful use of electronic medical records and efficient standards for certification and interoperability of unrelated systems. National Farm Safety Support for occupational safety and health funding for Fiscal Year 2015. The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) is the primary federal agency responsible for conducting research and making recommendations for the prevention of work-related illness and injury. NIOSH provides leadership to avert workplace illness, injury, disability, and death and supports programs to improve the health and safety of workers. NIOSH funds the National Childrens Center for Rural and Agricultural Health and Safety. Marshfield Clinic urges support for this important program.

Federally Facilitated Exchange Policy Issues Federally Facilitated Exchanges should take into account quality when serving up consumer plan results beginning with the first open enrollment period in 2013.Rather than waiting until 2016 to show quality ratings, the Federally Facilitated Exchange should display quality data for plans as soon as it is available to assist consumers in making a high quality plan choice. This aligns with the Triple Aim of improving the quality of care, reducing the cost of care and improving the experience. Federally Facilitated Exchanges should recognize the marketplace contributions of community-based insurers and should work to ensure regulations do not unduly favor national carriers. Community based carriers ensure a vibrant and competitive marketplace and often have more member-centric service philosophies. We opposed the absence of a complete regular order consideration of the Equitable Access to Care and Health Act, HR 1814, by Rep Aaron Schock, which would create a new religious exemption to the individual mandate. This bill was approved by the House under suspension of the Rules on Community Engagement for Healthy Lifestyles Coalitions, Afterschool, AmeriCorps and Community Organizations Improving the health of an entire community goes beyond doctor-patient visits, to population health efforts directed at vulnerable populations. Recognizing the complexity of health challenges facing young people and the strong intersection between community coalition efforts, afterschool approaches and improved health, Marshfield Clinic has developed a sustainable infrastructure to unite the efforts of its clinics with grassroots coalitions, afterschool programs, tribal communities and other community stakeholders. Marshfield clinic believes that high quality afterschool programs are a credible venue to improve the health and education of children and communities. Afterschool programs are poised to assist children to develop and reinforce lifelong healthy habits to stem the tide of chronic disease and to reduce the incidence of lifestyle related disease related to alcohol, tobacco and other substance abuse; high risk sexual behavior; intentional and unintentional injuries and violence; overweight, obesity and lack of physical activity; and, tobacco use and exposure. There is a critical need for strategic action at the federal level to counter the obesity epidemic in our nation. Chronic diseases related to obesity such as diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure and certain cancers are the leading causes of premature death and disability. Marshfield Clinic will support legislation to implement policies that take a comprehensive approach to obesity prevention, addressing nutrition and physical activity in a broad variety of environments including communities, businesses, schools and afterschool programs. To this end, Marshfield Clinic supports federal funding designed to improve the health and education outcomes of youth, children and families. Examples of funding streams that are of particular importance include: Corporation for National Service AmeriCorps Program; Department of Education 21st Century funding; and, the Department of Health and Human Services Child Care Development Block Grant; Center for Disease Control Childhood Obesity Prevention and Community Transformation grants; etc. Privacy and Security provisions of ARRA The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act expands current Federal privacy and security protections for health information. Marshfield clinic has specific concerns about: Providing transparency to patients by allowing them to request an audit trail showing all disclosures of their health information- including treatment, payment and operations- made through an electronic record. Electronic health record (EHR) users or maintainers must provide requesting individuals with an accounting of protected health information disclosures made during the three years prior to the request (but only for as much of that three year period during which the EHR was in use). Marshfield Clinic is concerned about the potential costs and administrative burdens of this provision. Covered entities must comply with requests to restrict the disclosure of an individuals protected health information if the disclosure is to a health plan for purposes of carrying out payment or health care operations and the information pertains solely to a health care item or service paid for out-of-pocket by the individual. Marshfield Clinic is concerned about the potential costs and administrative burdens of this provision. In using, disclosing or requesting protected health information, covered entities must limit themselves, to the extent practicable, to limited data sets or the minimum necessary information. Marshfield Clinic is concerned about the potential costs and administrative burdens of this provision. Marshfield Clinic supports provisions strengthening enforcement of Federal privacy and security laws by increasing penalties for violations and providing greater resources for enforcement and oversight activities.Meaningful Use of health information technology On December 30, 2009, the Centers for Medicare & Medicare Services (CMS) and the ONC released two regulations required by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act that lay the foundation for meaningful use of certified electronic health record (EHR) technology. Rules issued by CMS outline provisions governing the EHR incentive programs, including defining the central concept of meaningful use of EHR technology. Final regulations issued by ONC set initial standards, implementation specifications, and certification criteria for EHR technology. Marshfield Clinic is vendor of a proprietary electronic medical record, and closely follows federal developments of the HHS office of the national coordinator and the HIT Policy and Standards Committees to assure meaningful use of electronic medical records and efficient standards for certification and interoperability of unrelated systems. National Farm Safety Support for occupational safety and health funding for Fiscal Year 2015. The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) is the primary federal agency responsible for conducting research and making recommendations for the prevention of work-related illness and injury. NIOSH provides leadership to avert workplace illness, injury, disability, and death and supports programs to improve the health and safety of workers. NIOSH funds the National Childrens Center for Rural and Agricultural Health and Safety. Marshfield Clinic urges support for this important program.
