An acute care facility must transmit this information within forty-eight (48) hours before the previously prior authorized time period ends The Medicaid Agency Review Team will not perform retroactive concurrent reviews. The facility will transmit all updates or changes to patient records that were previously submitted to the MART along with the following: A. Transmittal sheet; B. Individual plan of care, thirty (30) calendar day reviews; C. Subsequent continued stay ninety (90) calendar day reviews and D. Summary of treatments and response to treatment from date of admission until the current date.

7 Provider Notification May 10, 2012 RE: Telemedicine Regulation Changes Effective May 15, 2012, Arkansas Medicaid RSPMI policy will include Psychiatric Diagnostic Assessment Initial and Continuing Care and Pharmacological Management by Physician via telemedicine services for the U21 population. Providing services via telemedicine for all ages will require provider telemedicine certification. Certification will be provided through UAMS, The Center for Distance Health Network Management. See attached flyer from UAMS for certification information and contacts. Because all telehealth providers cannot be certified by the May 15th deadline, the providers of adult services need to contact Tina Butler and schedule a certification appointment, at the RSPMI contact number, Once the appointment has been made, providers can continue to provide services to adults only. Providers who intend to serve children must wait until the certification is complete to begin providing the two services outlined in policy for children. Section of the Arkansas Medicaid RSPMI Manual has been revised to include the following telemedicine procedure codes and modifiers for the U21 population: T1023, U7 for Psychiatric Diagnostic Assessment Initial (telemedicine); and T1023, U7, U1 for Psychiatric Diagnostic Assessment Continuing Care (telemedicine), and Section includes 90862, U7 for Pharmacological Management by a Physician. Sections and of the Arkansas Medicaid RSPMI Manual are updated to include services provided via telemedicine for all beneficiaries. Section is also updated to include the minimum acceptable standards providers must meet for reimbursement by Arkansas Medicaid for providing services via telemedicine in the RSPMI program. RA messages detailing the changes may be found at:
8 To request a Telemedicine Assessment Form or schedule a certification appointment, please call our RSPMI contact number, Our program managers and video support personnel will send you the assessment form and work with you to schedule a convenient time for an onsite visit. What is Telemedicine? Patient consultations via video conferencing, transmission of still images, e-health including patient portals, remote monitoring of vital signs, continuing medical education, consumer-focused wireless applications and nursing call centers, among other applications, are all considered part of telemedicine and telehealth. What is ATOM (Arkansas Telehealth Oversight & Management)? ATOM is a collaboration of hospitals and clinics positioned to implement and operate advanced telehealth systems more effectively and for a lower cost than providers operating individually. ATOM is focused on bringing a single, statewide broadband health network to Arkansas. What is the Arkansas Telehealth Network? The Arkansas Telehealth Network (ATN) provides HIPAA compliant encryption to those who link in through the network to provide telehealth. The network is operated at UAMS and consists of approximately 500 healthcare and healthcare education sites. (Please see the back of this document for additional information) Definitions: Kilobyte: A Kilobyte is approximately 1,000 Bytes, actually 1,024 Bytes depending on which definition is used. 1 Kilobyte would be equal to this paragraph you are reading, whereas 100 Kilobytes would equal an entire page. Megabyte (Mbps): A Megabyte is approximately 1,000 Kilobytes. Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) is a mechanism in high-performance telecommunications networks which directs and carries data from one network node to the next with the help of labels. MPLS makes it easy to create virtual links between distant nodes. It can encapsulate packets of various network protocols. Cloud: The cloud is a physical place, perhaps owned and controlled by some other entity, containing computing resources that are available on demand for a price. End point: Entity on one end of a connection. Qualifications for RSPMI Requirements for clinics/physicians: Equipment: Must have a screen size no less than 20 inches diagonal. Video equipment must have the ability to dial H.323 via IP or E.164 and connect to UAMS infrastructure equipment for firewall registration. Desktop clients such as Skype, oovoo, and ichat are proprietary and do not have the ability to connect to the UAMS Video network. UAMS CDH can assist in placing your organization in touch with companies to determine what equipment will work best. All equipment must by UL and FCC Class A approved. Connectivity: You must have an Internet connection with a static IP address. Contact your local Internet service provider (ISP), whether it is DSL or Cable. Business class connectivity is strongly preferred as it gives a better level of customer service and other features.
9 Line Speed: For best video outcome, should be a minimum of 6Mbps download and 1Mbps upload. Must Join the Arkansas Telehealth Network to ensure ability to participate in Medicaid quality assurance measures, scheduling, educational encounters and HIPAA compliance. There will be a fee dependent on number of sites you wish to connect. Optional additional services are also available. Completion of Assessment Form: A telemedicine form will be sent to you upon request from UAMS CDH that will allow us to perform initial assessment of your equipment and connectivity. Upon completion of this form, fax or it back to UAMS CDH. The UAMS CDH team will then call to set up an onsite certification appointment. Certification Appointment: The UAMS CDH team will come to your site(s) to view and test the equipment and connectivity that your organization intends to use to provide telemedicine consultations. If requirements are met, Arkansas Medicaid will be notified of your certification status. Certification is good for one year. Follow up certifications will take less time to conduct. Your organization will be issued a telemedicine certification that will be displayed and/or kept on file for auditing purposes. If requirements are not met, the UAMS CDH team will provide follow-up recommendations/suggestions and reschedule a site visit for further evaluations as requested. UAMS CDH and the ATN will view connectivity statistics from your site to ensure appropriate bandwidth is being used during sessions. Random site visits by UAMS CDH may occur at the discretion of Medicaid if connectivity statistics are not sufficient consistently. Fee: $3,000 per certification Arkansas Telehealth Network Management The Arkansas Telehealth Network is a healthcare network that consists of a 24/7/365 IT command center that facilitates broadband connectivity that empowers distant healthcare providers to connect to other member healthcare providers and educators. The sole purpose of this network is to provide clinical, research and education activities related to healthcare. The UAMS Center for Distance Health provides expertise, training and management for the network. Services fees, as related to applicants activities, include: Connectivity to the Arkansas Telehealth Network This includes: Connection on the ATN (individual site responsible for bandwidth and Internet connection to public Internet) Security and encryption Firewall traversal of LAN to the ATN network Utilization of the ATN network for clinical, point to point interactive video connections during normal business hours (8:00 am 4:30 pm, Monday Friday) Technical and troubleshooting support for the connectivity to the ATN through the UAMS CDH technical support center during normal business hours Certified RSPMI sites will receive scheduling and technical support that allows them to utilize the ATN in clinical, educational and administrative business practices Additional services are available. The services provided through The Center for Distance Health Network Management request will ensure that the applicant s telehealth activities operate fluidly and technical issues are resolved by a skilled staff of telehealth experts. The applicant will have access to Center for Distance Health telehealth technologists, a 24/7 telehealth technical support hotline and technology training. Center for Distance Health services ensure proposed telehealth activities are met with efficiency through expert-level support
