12 Each service request must be approved or denied Consumers must receive proper notice of Denials, including appeal ( reconsideration ) instructions Any managed care action, can be appealed Approvals must be noticed (electronically) and a service authorization issued Upon expiration of the service authorization, a new service request must be submitted and the process starts over 2/1/

14 Requests include an Individual Budget (IB) The IB is used as Planning Guide Not a Limit An algorithm is used to ensure that everyone s budget is fair and equitable based on others with similar needs Individuals will be able to receive the services they need, regardless of their Individual Budget 2/1/
15 Supports Intensity Scale (SIS). The SIS is an important tool to assist your planning team in identifying services and supports that meet your needs, including issues with physical limitations and/or medical needs. The SIS is an interview that focuses on the support needs of a person with an intellectual and/or developmental disability. 2/1/
16 If you disagree with the results of the SIS assessment report, you should contact your care coordinator and notify the SIS evaluator that completes your SIS assessment. SIS Assessment results may be adjusted if it is determined that particular support needs were not accurately captured. In the event that you are not satisfied with the results of the SIS assessment or if you feel that your concerns and questions have not been addressed you have the right to file a grievance. Failure to file a grievance does not prevent you from challenging the SIS during an appeal of any managed care action. 2/1/
17 Protections for NC Innovations Participants Care Coordinators cannot tell Participants that they cannot request a particular service, or an amount, frequency, or duration of a service within a plan year. Care Coordination may provide you education on the service limits. However, participants have the right to request any service, any amount of service, and any duration of service they choose. Participants should not sign, nor should they be asked to sign, an Individual Support Plan that does not include the services they wish to request, even if the care coordinator has explained alternative service options that may be available. 2/1/
18 Protections for NC Innovations Participants Participants should not be asked or told that they have to sign an Individual Support Plan that they disagree with. However, they do have to have a signed plan of care in order to receive services. Care Coordinators will review the draft of the Individual Support Plan with participants and offer to make any requested changes before the Plan is signed. Participants should not sign a blank or incomplete Individual Support Plan. Participants should not sign an Individual Support Plan unless their Care Coordinator has reviewed it with them. 2/1/
19 The UM Care Manager (QP) screens all requests which are submitted by Providers or IDD Care Coordinators. If all criteria are met, Care Managers can Approve any request for service. If the request requires further review, it is promoted to a Clinical Care Manager (LP). 19
20 If the Clinical Care Manager is unable to approve the request based on clinical documentation of support needs, it is referred to Peer Review A denial or partial approval requires a Psychiatrist (MD) or Psychologist (Ph.D) Peer Reviewer to make the decision/action. 20
21 Only managed care actions can be appealed: o denial of a service request o limited authorization of a service request o reduction, suspension, or termination of a previously authorized service i.e., changes to a current, unexpired service authorization o Denial of payment for a service o Failure to authorize or deny a service request in a timely manner o Failure to act within the time frames required by 42 CFR (b). 42 CFR (b); NCGS, Chapter 108D 2/1/
22 Action Notices include both Initial Action Notice and Reconsideration Review Decisions Action Notices must include the information required by 42 CFR (b) Action Notices must include the reason for the decision: The Policy/Waiver language that requires the Action Why the medical information submitted does not meet Policy/Waiver criteria If EPSDT applies, why the request is not medically necessary or otherwise approvable under EPSDT A link to the applicable Policy/Waiver 2/1/

25 Pre-action In order to provide every opportunity for the ordering or treating provider to discuss the case prior to the clinical peer reviewer completing an adverse action for prospective and concurrent requests, the peer clinical reviewer may attempt to contact the provider to discuss the case. Post-action The clinical peer reviewer is available for peer to peer conversation upon request within five working days of the action. Conversation occurs within one working day. 25

35 The LME/MCO must continue the service if all of the following are met: The appeal ( reconsideration ) is timely requested The appeal ( reconsideration ) involves the termination, suspension, or reduction of a currently authorized service The service was ordered by an authorized provider The current service authorization has not expired The consumer requests a continuation of the service So long as all the criteria continue to be met, service continued during the Appeal Process ( reconsideration ) must also be continued during the State Fair Hearing ( appeal ) 2/1/
36 The service must continue until either: The consumer withdraws the appeal ( reconsideration ) Ten days after the appeal ( reconsideration ) decision is made, unless the consumer requests a State Fair Hearing within those 10 days. A State Fair Hearing decision is made against the consumer The service authorization expires If the final appeal ( reconsideration ) and/or State Fair Hearing decision is against the consumer, the consumer may be responsible for the cost of the services furnished to the consumer during the appeal process ( reconsideration ) and/or State Fair Hearing. That is why consumer s written consent required at each stage (reconsideration and appeal). 2/1/
