16 Who provides the services? 16
17 Our philosophy of involvement Managed care is here to stay Relationship building Learn new systems during demo Influence and inform systems change Program is positioned well for opportunity Many of these beneficiaries are already our clients You are an ombudsman first (training, ethics, certification/designation, etc.) 17
18 What s the same and what s different? Population: community well, waiver, nursing home Consumer complaints and inquiries 1,559 complaints (1,276 from consumer or family/friend) 985 inquiries New: out of network providers, opt in/out issues Hearing more about DME, in home services, care management, transportation (Some) new partners, (some) new conversations 18

20 What s the same and what s different? Systems issues Person-centered care/planning and care management processes, durable medical equipment, provider reimbursement, etc. Opportunities to communicate Quarterly plan meetings Member advisory committee meetings Ohio Department of Medicaid meetings 20
21 Program lessons learned Adapting and evolving at regional level Importance of face to face visitation ( MyCare isn t phone care ) Training/technical assistance for regional programs Marketing/communication strategies Communication is paramount 21
22 Charting New Territory The Ombudsman Experience Francine Chuchanis, Director of Entitlement Rights Certified Ombudsman Program Director
23 Traveling a New Boulevard Initiation into variety of home care services & delivery mechanisms Necessity to advocate with multiple providers Medicaid rules in community settings Utilization of a 3-Way Contract No one size fits all model
24 Maneuvering with Caution Developing relationships with My Care Plans and providers Identifying one point of contact with plans Struggle with leadership versus care management contact Securing role at Member Advisory Councils Partnering with Ohio Department of Medicaid
25 Navigation Challenges Multiple My Care Plans Diverse leadership styles Variations in timeliness of communications Differences in structures of member Advisory Councils Differences in regional access to providers Diversity of care management models Different appeal processes and rules
26 Divergent Routes Role of AAAs carved in for waiver service coordination only Full delegation of care management in AAAs by some plans, not others Some Ombudsman Programs in AAAs, others not Access to information by Ombudsman varies LTCOP firewalls instituted in AAAs
27 Early Bumps in the Road Enrollment Confusion about Opt-In/Opt-Out rights Timely assessments Transportation Access to primary care physicians Confusion about transition requirements Problems with provider billing and payments
28 Plotting a Smoother Pathway Ombudsman identify systemic issues Complaints against plans & Ohio Department of Medicaid (ODM) opened by Ombudsman Office of State Ombudsman reports complaint data to CMS ODM meets with plan stake holders Adjustments initiated to correct systemic issues & collect relevant data
29 Current Roadblocks Limited access to providers Untimely delivery of durable medical equipment Provider payment issues Timing of service start ups with transitions between care settings Care plans not person centered Shortage of home care attendants Absence of real exposure in nursing homes
30 Finding Detours Quarterly meetings with plan leadership Direct contact between Care Managers and Ombudsman Interaction with members at Advisory Council meetings Role of Ombudsman integrated into My Care Ohio
31 A Route to Success: Lessons Learned Early education of providers and consumers important DME process needs to be leaned Provider payment mechanisms need to be streamlined and timely Enrollments & authorizations during transitions must be well-timed Training needed on person centered care Rate adjustments for home care attendants essential
32 Mapping the Future Demonstration ends 2019 Many issues identified and being addressed MLTSS to go statewide in 2018? Move to One Waiver Some efforts to delay this in Ohio legislature Managed Care Plans submit intent to participate this Summer, ODM to choose by Fall Role of AAAs carved in for waiver service coordination Role of Ombudsman expanded
