2 Today s Agenda To Admit or not to Admit Making a case for the empty bed POP goes the CMI! - Why SNF case mix is rising so fast FIDA - What is it, current enrollment stats and why it does and doesn t work FAQ Greatest Hits 2
3 SNF Perspective SNF transition experience determined by Upstate vs. Downstate Urban vs. Rural Number of plans Size Organizational sophistication 3
4 Your Questions Question Answer If a patient is non Medicaid and LDSS approves the institutional MCD application- who is supposed to reach out to Maximus to advise the patient and the need to select a plan. is it the Nursing Home or LDSS? If we are not effective until July 1, are the benchmark rates for our county published yet? u have emergency transportation excluded from the covered service under MLTC-P col. Do I need to get an authorization for MLTC bed hold? Can you define what the difference between Mainstream Managed Care and MLTC? LDSS notifies Maximus (NY Medicaid Choice) to begin the enrollment process. Family, representative or SNF can assist patient in plan selection. Benchmark rates are published for all Nursing Home Facilities in the state at reimbursement/nhr/ Emergency transportation (ambulance) is covered by Medicare for dual eligibles Generally yes, but you should confirm with the Plan See Slide 37 of today s presentation Are DME and diagnostics(mri,ct scans,xray) excluded from benchmark rate and mltc must precert and pay? It is the same as your Medicaid FFS rate. They are excluded and generally billed to Part B. To ensure proper coverage, you should obtain 4 authorization according to your Plan contract
5 To Admit or not to Admit (Making a case for the empty bed) 5
6 Changing Landscape Global impact of Medicaid Redesign and Medicaid Managed Care on skilled nursing facilities. Consolidation and contraction Lower occupancy Lost revenue Increased competition 6
7 Lower Occupancy Mandatory Medicaid Managed Care in the community Mainstream - effective October 2011 MLTC effective September 2012 Home and Community Based Services (HCBS) Shorter Length of Stay (LOS) in SNF Diversion (Hospital to Home, skip the SNF) Lower Occupancy 7
8 Lower Occupancy Focus on Re-hospitalizations and Potentially Avoidable Hospital (PAH) stays means Fewer patients in the Hospital Fewer discharges to SNF Diversion (Hospital to Home, skip the SNF) Lower Occupancy 8
9 Lower Occupancy SNF (Administration/Owners) knee jerk reaction ADMIT ANYONE 9
10 To Admit or not to Admit What does the empty bed cost? What is the impact on your CMI if the patient stays? Are you ahead if you can t collect the $$$? How many days are we really talking about here? 10
11 To Admit or not to Admit What is filling the bed worth really? 11
12 POP goes the CMI! (Why SNF case mix is rising so FAST) 12
13 Case Mix Rising Mandatory Medicaid Managed Care in the community Mainstream - effective October 2011 MLTC effective September 2012 Home and Community Based Services (HCBS) Shorter Length of Stay (LOS) in SNF Diversion (Hospital to Home, skip the SNF) Higher CMI 13
14 Case Mix Rising Patients coming in are sicker SNF case mix has been artificially deflated by low scoring patients who SNF s couldn t safely discharge 1 PA/PB = 3 RM Source: pdf 14
15 Case Mix Rising Increase in Statewide CMI from Jan 2011 to Jan 2012 of 6%, increasing State spend on SNF by $200 million 5% CMI Cap effective 2013 OMIG audit on increases in CMI greater than 5% SNF s Receive balance over 5% following audit OMIG findings generally support CMI increases 15
16 Case Mix Rising Case Mix MATTERS! SNFs Plans 16
17 Fully Integrated Dual Advantage (FIDA) Demonstration 17
18 FIDA National demonstration project to coordinate benefits for dual eligible individuals (Medicare and Medicaid) requiring chronic care Improve quality Reduce costs Share savings with the States Demonstration runs from January 2015 December 2017 FIDA Demonstration Counties - NYC, Westchester, Nassau, Suffolk only Suffolk roll out on hold Source: /docs/ _fida_stakeholders.pdf
19 Highlights: FIDA Plans are MLTC s that modified offerings to include Medicare services. No change in service level for first 90 days Dual eligible residents in nursing homes are eligible for the demonstration Conversion-in-place Beneficiaries can opt out of the demonstration at any time New Duals will be enrolled in FIDA If opt out, must join an MLTCP and FFS Medicare plan (FFS Medicaid not an option)
20 FIDA vs. MLTC - Benefits MLTC Only covers Medicaid long term care services and supports (PCA, Nursing, etc.), dental, vision, and podiatry services Does not affect Medicare coverage Mandatory FIDA Covers all health care services and items, including prescription drugs Provides Medicare and Medicaid benefits No co-payments Optional Passive Enrollment (excludes SNF in-patients prior to effective date) 20

If plan not paying, contact Vallencia Lloyd (Mainstream) or Mark Kissinger (MLTC) Vallencia Lloyd - vallencia.lloyd@health.ny.gov Mark Kissinger mark.kissinger@health.ny.gov Discharging Homeless or no place to discharge to (SNF and Plans same concern) SNF/Patient doesn t agree with the Plan Appeal Rights Can current permanent residents be discharged via managed care? YES, but this isn t new NHTD, Money Follows the Person, etc. - Herbie 28
29 Current Issues Medicaid Recertification NYC issues Currently, Plans can t use EDITS electronic submission program used by SNF s so Plans must submit to Managed Care Division, who then transfers to Long Term division for eligibility Causing delays and confusion HRA to provide education on 6/18 DOH NH Transition call Plan needs to submit a demographic change which will make the address be the nursing home so notices are going to the right place.
