6 Mandatory Enrollment in MLTCs Source: United Hospital Fund, Mandatory Managed Long-Term Care in New York's Medicaid Program: Key Eligibility and Enrollment Issues ACL s challenge: How to approach compliance in a new program ACL s Challenge: How to approach compliance in a new program Inherent risks for any new plan New procedures Changing regulations Rapid growth 6
7 Challenge 1: New Procedures Procedures that were created to follow a new set of regulations should be evaluated ACL s experience: Mandatory enrollment in New York brought a new set of regulations Policies and procedures were created to meet these requirements before plan launched Considerations once the plan is operational: Do these policies work? Are they being followed? Is there compliance on a day-to-day basis? Challenge 2: Changing Regulations Frequent updates to regulations require corresponding changes in practices Changes to eligibility criteria Updates to marketing guidelines Change in assessment instrument New procedures for prior authorizations Challenge 3: Rapid Growth Rapid growth increases the importance of monitoring and transparence ACL s experience 0 to 1800 members in less than 18 months Do existing procedures meet increased demand? Are existing internal controls adequate? 7
