4 TennCare Tennessee s Medicaid Waiver Program BCBST Blue Cross Blue Shield of Tennessee VSHP Volunteer State Health Plan, a government services division of BCBST BlueCare An at-risk TennCare network administered by VSHP TennCare Select A special populations TennCare network administered by VSHP ValueOptions a behavioral health company chosen by VSHP to manage delivery of behavioral health services for BlueCare and TennCare Select members 4
5 5 Suboxone Services for TennCare Members
6 Suboxone: a narcotic medication indicated for the treatment of opioid dependence, available only by prescription, and taken under a doctor's care as prescribed. SUBOXONE, which h contains buprenorphine and naloxone, was the first opioid medication approved under the Drug Addiction Treatment Act of 2000 (DATA 2000) for the treatment of opioid dependence in an office-based setting. 6
7 Suboxone Services are delivered by behavioral and non-behavioral physicians who have been certified to deliver the services, and there are restrictions on the number of Suboxone patients a physician can serve at any given time. More information about certification is available at Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration at 7
8 Currently, there are approximately 310 certified Suboxone providers in Tennessee. Approximately 120 of these providers are psychiatrists. 8
9 9 Suboxone Services, inclusive of pharmacy and physician care, are TennCare reimbursable when determined to be Medically Necessary.
10 Based on anecdotes and pharmacy data available to VSHP related to BlueCare and TennCare Select members, we believe TennCare members are sometimes being charged for physician fees associated with the delivery of Suboxone services. TennCare members should not be charged for Medically Necessary Suboxone services, aside from applicable co-pays, deductibles, or exhaustion of benefits under the TennCare Program. 10
11 Providers who are certified to deliver Suboxone Services and who already participate in the BlueCare and TennCare Select networks have the ability to bill for Suboxone services utilizing i existing medication management codes (for behavioral health practitioners) or evaluation and management codes (non-behavioral health practitioners). While the medication itself requires prior authorization through the Pharmacy Benefit Manager (PBM), the physician billing codes do not require prior authorization unless the member has utilized services beyond certain benefit thresholds (see Provider Administration Manual). 11
12 Certified providers of Suboxone services who are not participating in the BlueCare or TennCare Select networks may contact the appropriate regional representative for information about joining the networks. Behavioral health practitioners should contact a ValueOptions regional representative. Nonbehavioral health practitioners should contact a BCBST/VSHP regional representative. Contact lists are available at the end of this presentation. 12
13 More to Come! As TennCare benefit changes are implemented, VSHP will evaluate the need for unique claims coding specific to delivery of Suboxone services. Any such changes will be communicated via direct outreach, Provider Alerts and via updates to the VSHP Provider Administration Manual. 13

18 18 Questions?
19 Grier Provider initiated Notice Process Update BlueCare/TennCare Select Behavioral Health
20 The Grier Consent Decree The consent decree provides a way for members to receive notice of adverse actions and the ability to appeal the decisions that providers and MCCs are making about their treatment. An adverse action is any Delay Suspension Reduction Discharge/Termination Adverse means the member will not be receiving the same amount or type of care that they were receiving previously.
21 Who Needs Notice? Every member who is discharging from Inpatient care Residential treatment Every member who is classified as SPMI/SED These members should be given notice every time there is an adverse action for any level of care.
22 Provider Initiated Notices (PINs) Inpatient Grier requires the member receives 2 business days notice of discharge These are faxed to your facility and mailed to the member Residential Grier requires the member is given 2 business days notice for provider initiated discharges. These are faxed to your facility and mailed to the member.
23 Inpatient and Residential PINs According to Grier Consent Decree, each member is entitled to a two days advance notice of any adverse action. This does not mean that each member can stay two days longer than the care is medically necessary members should receive notice of discharge 2 days prior to the probable discharge date. If member needs more service after PIN has been submitted, providers should contact BH UR and request a concurrent review. PIN will be voided and member should receive notice 2 business days prior to the new discharge date.
24 PINs for all Other Levels of Care To allow for mailing time, give 10 calendar days notice from when the letter was mailed. These are faxed to your facility and mailed to the member Please send these at least ten days in advance of discharge so the member can be discharged to the level of care they need as soon as possible.
25 To determine discharge date: Your Grier letter will state, Dear < Member's Name >: Starting <Discharge Date>, Dr. has decided to STOP this care you ve been getting from BlueCare: Receiving the PIN at least 2 days prior to discharge will ensure that members are discharged appropriately and providers are compliant with the notification process.
26 Aftercare Plans All provider initiated notices for discharges must have a complete aftercare plan before the letter can be completed. A complete discharge plan includes: The aftercare facility and/or provider name The phone number and address The date and time of the appointment Please do not send in a PIN notice form without a completed aftercare plan.
27 STOP WAIVER Members should not be discharged from their current level of care before they receive notice of the discharge, reduction, suspension or termination of services. Once the members receive the proper notice, the member can choose to stop service prior to the date on the Grier letter. If a member chooses to stop the service, the waiver form attached to the Grier notice should be completed and signed by the member or guardian. ALL signed waiver forms should be faxed to the same number as the PIN forms are faxed. WE MUST HAVE COPIES OF ALL SIGNED WAIVERS.
28 Waiver FORM here?
29 Aftercare delays Aftercare that is scheduled for a member when discharging from a higher level of care must also be done within the 7 or 14 day timeframe. If this care cannot be scheduled within 7 or 14 days of discharge, a Grier delay notice will be issued.
30 Delays It is in each provider s contract that you will be able to provide services for our members within seven days for case management and within fourteen days for other services (medication management, therapy, etc). The Grier consent decree states that notice of delays should be sent to the member immediately.
31 Aftercare Delays These are mailed to the member. BlueCare will call the discharging provider and request that the member be informed that they will be receiving a delay letter in the mail. Please continue to attempt to schedule these aftercare appointments within the appropriate timeframe.

42 Benefits to Health Plan Decreases inappropriate ED utilization and cost Helps to fulfill mission by ensuring access to quality health care in appropriate care settings Serves as a preferred safety model for the community and hospital systems 9
43 Phase 1 ~ Network Assessment Development Emergency Department Utilization Assessment to determine appropriate and inappropriate care rendered and to establish benchmarks and targets for improvement, year 1, year 2, and year 3 Emergency Department Physician Assessment to determine physician, other clinical and administrative support for the redirect program, by hospital Community Provider Assessment establishing primary care physicians willingness to receive referrals same day or next day for patient follow-up after initial ED medical screening 10

47 Phase 3, Part 2 ~ Patient Referral Process Through the NurseLine, questions are asked to determine why the member chose the ED verses the physicians office and to see if a new PCP assignment is needed. All of this information is tracked in a database at NurseLine and sent to the Emergency Services Management (ESM) Team at VSHP. NurseLine provides weekly updates of patient/referral tracking report given to ED physicians and payer to ensure patient tracking and follow up is occurring. NurseLine provides monthly summary reports for payers to measure improvements in appropriate utilization. 14

51 Increased Demand Disease Management / illness management and recovery WRAP Success stories Mutual Support Groups Consumer Demand Fiscal constraints Non-traditional care 2
52 Self Efficacy Enactive attainment Vicarious Experience Persuasion Physical Arousal 3
53 Why Peer Support? When it comes to combating stigma; there are three accepted, researched approaches with varying degrees of success: Protest generally effective at swaying the media, individual is left feeling worse than before Education produces change by challenging myths; limited effectiveness with a return to base line generally within a week Contact direct interaction and building interpersonal relationships is the most effective for both short term and long term change of views and behaviors, particularly among those who may be the focus of discrimination 4
54 Peer Centers / Self Help Practices Self-help is based on the principle of helping oneself and others at the same time. Thus, self-help is a mutual process, without a dichotomy between the helper and the person being helped. Membership in self-help is neither mandated nor charity. 5
55 What is Self-Help? Self-help groups include people with a common bond who voluntarily come together to share, reach out, and learn from each other in a trusting, supportive, and open environment. The common bond is defined as the collective experience related to being diagnosed as having a serious mental illness (such as bipolar illness, schizophrenia, or major depression) and receiving services from the mental health system. 6
56 Capacity Building VSHP is committed to lending expertise in pursuit of funding Opportunities, especially in the area of non-traditional approaches, through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 and other funding sources: Blue Cross Blue Shield Foundation SAMHSA Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration NCMHD National Center on Minority Health and Health Disparities DREAM Disparities Research and Education Advancing Mission Small Business Research Funding (SBIR/STTR Programs) 7
57 Peer Run Organizations What is a Peer Run Organization? A Peer Run Organization is one that obtained nonprofit 501c3 status. It is an origanization with a board of directors made of peers and staffed from the top down by peers. The only one that exists in Tennessee right now is the Tennessee Mental Health Consumers' Association. Creating new Peer/Consumer Run Organizations will create more jobs for TCPS as well as expand access for services. 8
58 Peer Run Organizations, cont. How can we assist in creating new Peer Run Organizations? While there may be groups of consumers who would like to organize to provide services, they may lack the expertise and knowledge necessary to acquire a 501c3 certification. While the process is not difficult, the uninitiated may find it confusing. One of the responsibilities of Recovery as defined in our CRA is advocacy. This could include assisting consumers in the creation 501c3s 9
59 Community Linkages to Provide New Funding for Peer Services Discussion Can new funding be found through linking of programs with the same goals? Yes. SAMHSA requires community linkages in proposals submitted for new funding. Working affiliations that provide mutual support in communities are emphasized and when included in a proposal, generate a higher score. The key will be to work with providers to create new affiliations between organizations that have previously been seen as competitors. 10
60 Community Linkages to Provide New Funding for Peer Services, cont. What types of organizations might link up with each other to gain new funding? Currently, were are limited by being tied to old models where we see an organization of one type linking with an organization of the same type such as MHO with MHO. In a new model an MHO might link with a community medical facility to provide integrated health care, or with a faith based organization to provide assistance with food. It should be the task of MCCs to facilitate creating these new linkages. 11
61 Community Linkages to Provide New Funding for Peer Services, cont. How can MCCs facilitate creating linkages? Connecting with organizations that would typically be outside of our purview could be the way to begin. Discussion All of our communities in Tennessee are badly in need of funding to support providing services which may no longer be paid for by the State. Sponsoring forums where these linkages can be discussed can be facilitated by MCCs working with city and county governments to identify stakeholders. 12
62 Summary The findings from research on self-help groups for people with serious mental illness consistently show: reduced symptoms and substance abuse over time; concomitant reductions in crises, hospitalizations, and use of services; improved social competence and social networks; and increased healthy behaviors and perceptions of well being 13
