6 Our Research About This Project Definitions Methods Interviewees Interview Topics 6
7 About This Project Researched current state and health plan practices in managed long term services and supports (MLTSS) assessments to help inform California s process Thank you to The SCAN Foundation for supporting this project 7
8 Definitions: What is a Uniform Assessment? Definitions of uniform vary in scope and focus across all five states Uniform can mean: same tool distributed to defined population at defined intervals Uniform can mean: same data elements across tools distributed to defined population at defined intervals Uniform ideally means, a single tool used to assess the services a person needs across LTSS programs 8
9 RI FL ID MT WY SC TN KY OH SD KS NE IA MS ND CA NV WA AK PA ME CT WV MD NJ VT MA DE HI LA GA TX NC WI WI MN IL IN AL MI UT MO AR NH VA OK TX AZ OR NM NY CO Who Did We Interview? 9
10 Interviews Focused on an Array of Issues Overview Description of Assessment What is the history of the process and tool? Are the assessments uniform? Delegation and Oversight Who performs which steps? What is mandatory and what is flexible? Components of Tool Is it evidence based? State developed or purchased? 10
11 Additional Interview Topics Methods of Data Collection How is data reported? Is tool electronic or automated? Is rate of completion tracked? Plans to Revise How often is tool changed? Is the state satisfied with the tool and process? Do plans have flexibility to make changes? 11
12 What Did We Find? State Overviews Technology Timeframes Qualifications Oversight 12
13 Arizona Arizona Long Term Care System (ALTCS) Full risk 1989 implementation 50,000 enrollees Statewide Children, Adults < 65 with PD; Adults < 65 with ID/DD; Adults 65+ Private health plans STATE CLIMATE OVERVIEW Integrated model for high need, high cost population Will create financial alignment in 2014 across physical and behavioral health systems in Maricopa County Pursuing alternative integration model to encourage alignment between SNPs and Medicaid managed care plans Completed new procurement of Medicaid managed care plans in

17 Tennessee TennCare CHOICES Full risk 2010 implementation 31,000 enrollees Statewide Full risk contract with withholds and quality incentives Nursing facility residents; Adults < 65 with physical disabilities; and Adults national and 1 local plan STATE CLIMATE OVERVIEW Pursuing integration through an alternative care model Completed reprocurement of TennCare CHOICES program in 2013 Required all bidders to have or be moving toward statewide D SNP coverage 17
18 Tennessee Assessment Tool Uniform Pre Admission Evaluation : assesses nursing facility and at risk levels of care Comprehensive Needs Assessment : core data elements required; based on environmental scan of tools and requirements across LTSS programs, best practice recommendations, and stakeholder input Tools developed by MCOs, based on state data elements Populations Covered CHOICES members including: Elderly, 65 + Disabled, 21 + Delegation State nurses make level of care determinations MCOs conduct comprehensive assessment and develop plan of care MCOs allowed to make changes to comprehensive needs assessment but must continue to meet state requirements 18
19 Texas STAR+PLUS Full risk 1998 implementation 400,000 enrollees; 71,000 using LTSS 90 of 254 counties SSI or Social Security Exclusion children <21; Adults 21+ with disability; Adults 21+ in Communitybased Alternatives HCBS waiver; Adults 65+; Full benefit Medicare Medicaid enrollees 5 health plans STATE CLIMATE OVERVIEW Moving forward with a capitated financial alignment model Will move nursing home care into an integrated care program 19
20 Texas Assessment Tool Form 2060 : needs assessment, task and hourly guide; developed by state Medical Necessity and Level of Care Assessment : based off of Minimum Data Set, plus state specific criteria Populations Covered State of Texas Access Reform Plus (STAR+PLUS) Community Based Alternatives program Medically Dependent Children Program Program of All Inclusive Care for the Elderly Delegation MCOs conduct functional needs assessment RN at MCO conducts Medical Necessity Level of Care MCOs are required to use Form 2060 and the MN/LOC Neither form can be amended by the MCO 20

23 Questions 23
24 Let s Talk Technology Arizona Minnesota Tennessee Texas Wisconsin Electronic tools used to determine Level of Care and services hours (plans can automate them) Web based/automated system leads user to next step to determine service hours Most MCOs use automated systems to determine service hours Caution: start slow! Form 2060 is not automated Medical Necessity Level of Care assessments are electronic Web based/automated system leads user to next step for functional eligibility screen 24
25 What are the Required Timeframes? Arizona Initial contact: within 7 business days of enrollment Initial on site visit: within 12 business days of enrollment Minnesota Assessment within 20 calendar days after initial contact Plan of care within 40 calendar days of assessment Tennessee Timeframe requirements vary for members with different acuity levels (Groups 1 3) Texas Wisconsin New member assessments conducted within 45 days Contact within 3 days Initial plan within 10 days Comprehensive assessment within 30 days 25
26 How are Case Managers and Care Coordinators Trained and Qualified? Requirements vary across states All health plans implement additional trainings Qualifications Degreed social worker Licensed registered nurse Certified assessor (MN) Different requirements vary with levels of need (TX) Training Many are webbased Provider specific training (i.e., AAADs, NFs) Call center/help desk for training questions (recorded calls provides data) Monthly training newsletter Continuing Education Retain professional licenses Ongoing trainings on populations served Re certification in MN every 3 years RUG training in TX every 2 years 26
27 Do the States Keep a Close Eye on What s Happening? Arizona: Oversight primarily occurs during audits Minnesota: Tracks data on monthly basis Tennessee: Quarterly desk audits Texas: Strong readiness reviews and periodic audits Wisconsin Requires each ADRC/MCO to have internal oversight Reliability testing every 2 years Built in cross edits Have functional screen quality unit Have function screen workgroup Each MCO has to have a screen lead expert 27
28 Best Practices and Recommendations Common Domains and Innovative Additions Tool Development Stakeholder Engagement Observations from Health Plans Cautionary Notes 28
29 What Are Some Common Domains? States include the following: Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) i.e., bathing, dressing, mobility, transfers, eating, toileting Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADLs) i.e., meal preparation, medication management, money management, telephone, and employment Natural Supports Cognition Health Status Mental/Behavioral Health Status 29
30 Domain Rock Star: Minnesota ADLs and IADLs Health General Health Risk Assessment Brain Injury Medications Eating Habits/Nutrition Many more! Psychosocial Memory and Cognition Safety/Self Preservation Sensory and Communication Employment Housing and Environment Self Direction Independent vs. Supported Service Related Rights and Choices Caregiver 30
31 Tool Development Strategies Arizona s HCBS Needs Assessment Tool MCOs developed a workgroup and proposed and created a tool themselves that the state then approved and formalized Tennessee s Core Data Elements Environmental scan of assessment tools and requirements across LTSS programs (managed and FFS) Looked at best practice recommendations Engaged stakeholders 31
32 How Are Stakeholders Engaged? Minnesota Had steering committee of stakeholders and advocates for the development of MnCHOICES Involved internal and external stakeholders, including advocates of all populations and providers A lot of concerns about how new tool would change how eligibility is determined (it won t change it!) Lesson learned: Messaging purpose of tool is crucial! 32
33 Observations from Health Plans Feedback from plans on the positives of having uniformity across plans Uniformity supports plans in fair hearings Detailed, descriptive, and precise questions provide assessors easiest tool to administer uniformly Negative side of uniformity: plans like flexibility to tailor to their own system 33
34 How are Health Risk Assessments Integrated? In Arizona, SNPs are required to do health risk assessments annually, not related to ALTCS - Health risk assessments vary a lot are not standardized! Texas eliminated an initial health risk assessment - Some plans call their clients first and administer something similar to a health risk assessment Minnesota is adding a health risk assessment, worked with the health plans to do this 34
35 Pros and Cons of Using Tools for Rate Setting Some states use their tools in capitated rate setting Doing so increases stake of many stakeholders Doing so ties the agreed upon tool to agreed upon rates Tools tied to rates are much more difficult to change Changing tools would likely increase costs Also increases the likelihood of reported challenges of results Tool Acuity Level Rates 35
36 Medicare Requirements Major Impact Minnesota New rule from CMS on Medicare side about tracking timeliness of assessments Arizona Texas Aligning state specific requirement with Medicare requirement NF also implement Minimum Data Set on Medicare side Duals get two different assessments Adopted the Minimum Data Set for their Medical Necessity/Level of Care tool, then just added state specific areas 36
37 Takeaways Only found one example of a true uniform assessment: Minnesota Four of the five states allow MCOs to make additions beyond prescribed criteria or tool Consideration and coordination with Medicare assessment requirements will be key Centralized databases could provide tremendous quality improvement and monitoring value, although not widely implemented yet Important to train hearing officers Good assessment tools will stand up in court Thorough assessment tools help minimize appeals 37
