1 STAR+PLUS Nursing Facility - Member Service Coordination MHTNF_SCTraining_
2 Our Story and Who We Are Our story is about being a family The Molina Healthcare story is about one man s belief that when it comes to health care everyone should be treated like family. It was in 1980 when as an emergency room physician, C. David Molina, MD, noticed that low-income, uninsured or non-english speaking patients were coming to the emergency room in need of general health care services. Without family doctors, they were not always getting the right care and information. These underserved families deserved better and Dr. Molina set out to do something about it. He opened a clinic in Long Beach, California to provide lowincome individuals and families with a place to go to get personalized health care from Molina doctors. Two more clinics opened that same year and today our health plans and clinics serve patients across the country. What started out as a mission to treat patients like family has today become a family mission Never forgetting their roots, Molina children once put in charge of sweeping the floors, stocking shelves and filing medical records now lead the company s operations and strategic direction 2

7 Responsibilities of Molina Service Coordinators Partner with the member, family, and NF staff in the development of a Molina Service Plan Service Plan to include: Services provided through the NF, add-on services, acute medical services, behavioral health services, and primary or specialty care. The approval of additional services outside of the NF daily unit rate is based on medical necessity and benefit structure. The Service Plan is Molina s document that demonstrates the type of care and services the member is receiving from various healthcare providers. The Molina Service Plan is an internal document and is not part of the member s NF clinical record. Comprehensively review the member's Service Plan and NF plan of care, at least annually and as needed with notification of a significant change of condition. Support care planning by participating in NF care planning meetings telephonically or in person, provided the member does not object. Work with the resident, families, and other service coordinators to ensure smooth transition into the nursing facility. 7
8 Responsibilities of Molina Service Coordinator Visit with member on a quarterly basis.

13 Service Coordination Visits Molina service coordinators will conduct a comprehensive review of a member s service plan via quarterly face-to-face assessments, or more frequently as determined by the member s needs. The Service Coordinator serves as an advocate for the member Reviews the care provided by the NF provider Identifies gaps in care or possible gaps in documentation of care Works collaboratively with the NF to assure the needs of the member are identified and addressed Type of Visits: New Nursing Facility Visit Conducted for newly contracted facilities or with a change of Administrator/DON and/or with a change in Molina Service Coordinator Visit intended to: Define roles and expectations between the NF and Service Coordinator Identify NF point person Exchange contact information Establish access to clinical records 13

The Service Coordinator cannot issue prior authorization, but will assist the NF in requesting prior authorization and/or check status of a prior authorization request. For more information on Prior Authorization Requirements: 15
16 Service Coordination Best Practices The NF should schedule Molina member care plan meetings on the same day and in time blocks. Example: Molina Member Care Plan meetings held on Thursdays from 10:00 am 12:00 pm The NF to notify Service Coordinator of new admissions, discharges, and changes of condition, daily after the morning meeting. Bring a stack of Service Coordination Notification forms to the morning meeting and complete them as you learn the information, then fax after the meeting. The NF to involve the Service Coordinator early in any member or family care concern issues. The Service Coordinator can be a mediator, helping to bring parties together to focus on what is best for the member. The NF to utilize the Service Coordinator as a resource The Service Coordinator can navigate the Molina systems to identify resources available to the member. Example: Securing appointments with specialist or accessing the Molina Value Added Services. 16
17 Service Coordination Best Practices Discharge Planning The Service Coordinator can assist and support the NF in the discharge planning process. Start discharge planning early the better the plan, the greater success for member. The Service Coordinator can assist in identifying what is the appropriate level of care for discharge. The Service Coordinator can identify what resources and services are available to the member. Preventive Care The Service Coordinator can collaborate with the NF on preventive care programs impacting the overall health of the member. The Service Coordinator can provide the member with education on their health status or specific health concern. Quality Assurance and Performance Improvement (QAIP) The Service Coordinator can support any quality improvement plans. Example: Reduction of Antipsychotic Usage the Service Coordinator can assist in reviewing the member s medication, make recommendations for other approaches, identify other Molina resources that my be available to the member, provide education the member and/or family/responsible Party of the appropriate use of antipsychotic meds. 17
18 Money Follows the Person (MFP) The Money Follows the Person program is one of several ways Texas has responded to the 1999 U.S. Supreme Court decision in Olmstead v. L.C. (119 S. Ct (1999)). In that case, the Court decided that states cannot discriminate against people with disabilities by offering them long-term care services only in institutions when they could be served in the community, if state resources and other citizens' long-term care needs permit it. As a result of the decision, many states, including Texas, have begun various efforts to reduce the number of people in institutions and increase the number in home- and community-based programs, often as part of an overall effort to rebalance the long-term care system. Under Texas' Money Follows the Person program, people can move from nursing homes to the community without having to spend time on a waiting list for community-based services like people still living in the community who need these services (the waiting lists are considerable in Texas). It also permits public money, up to the amount that was spent on them in the nursing home, to follow them to the community (although in reality the cost of community care is usually considerably less than in the nursing home). 18
19 Money Follows the Person (MFP) To access Money Follows the Person a member must: Live in a Medicaid nursing home (Long Term Care Bed) Be eligible for Medicaid community services Be approved for waiver services What the Money Follow the Person (MFP) program can do for nursing facility residents: Locate and secure affordable housing Assist with security deposit Provide household items Provide assistive equipment and devices *(when needed) Arrange for minor home modifications to ensure independent safe functioning Provide training in independent living skills Make referrals of personal assistant services Provide personal assistant management training Provide case management 19
20 Money Follows the Person (MFP) Transition Assistance Services (TAS) One-time grants of up to $2,500 in TAS funds are available to nursing facility residents who are moving from the facility to certain types of living arrangements. They are designed to be used to purchase certain items necessary to set up a household, including: Essential furnishings Moving expenses Rental security deposits Services to ensure health and safety Utility service deposits Transition to Life in the Community (TLC) grants These grants provide a one-time assistance of up to $2,500 to help nursing facility residents move to community settings; however, TAS funds must be used before TLC funds. 20
21 Money Follows the Person (MFP) Housing Voucher Program The Project Access Voucher (PAV) provides rental assistance for people relocating from a Nursing Facility setting. The Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs are working in partnership to distribute the vouchers. Community Transition Teams Community Transition Teams are public-private regional community resources coordinating groups who work with individuals and systemic barriers to community relocation. One team in each of the DADS regions meets monthly to address specific barriers that prevent a Nursing Facility resident from relocating into the community. 21
22 Money Follows the Person (MFP) Referrals for the MFP Program may come from the Nursing Facility Resident, Social Worker, Power of Attorney or Resident s Family. For more information: The assigned Molina Service Coordinator is also a point of contact Molina has designated Case Managers to work specifically with the MFP program A series of assessments must be completed on the member to determine if they qualify for MFP. Home assessments must be completed as well to determine if there is a safe environment for the member. MFP cases are a slow, meticulous process to assure the member s need will be met and can be sustained in the community. The Nursing Facility Social Worker is a key role in MFP from the perspective of assuring a safe discharge for the member. 22
23 Service Coordination Success Stories Member CM in El Paso: The member was needing ophthalmology care as well as dental care. The Service Coordinator worked with the NF to obtain appointments with network providers. The Service Coordinator assisted the member in accessing their Value Added Services benefit of $250 for routine dental services. The Impact: The member received an ophthalmology exam and new eyeglasses, thus improving quality of life through better vision The member had a dental exam and cleaning which the relieved the member s anxiety about their dental status as well as provided the preventive care impacting overall health status. 23
24 Service Coordination Success Stories Member MH in Dallas: The member had several complaints about the NF and was frustrated with the care being received, specifically the lack of physician intervention to address his multiple health issues. The member wanted to move to Austin and had additionally complained to the State about his care. The Service Coordinator met with the NF team and the member to discuss the concerns. The Service Coordinator worked with the NF Social Worker to obtain appointments with a dermatologist, a surgeon, a Hepatic specialist and a pain specialist. The Service Coordinator provided education to the member as well about managing his chronic health conditions. The Service Coordinator continues to follow up with the member at the NF to assure he is managing his conditions, and the NF is providing appropriate care to meet his needs. The Impact: The member has seen specialist as needed preventing possible ER visits and further complications. Having routine specialist physician care can prevent future hospitalizations. The member s quality of life has improved by feeling better and getting proper care. The member no longer wants to move to Austin, and wants to stay at his NF as he feels they are taking good care of him now! 24
