Children Impacted by the Medicaid Redesign Initiative Youth diagnosed with Substance Use Disorders Children and youth diagnosed with Serious Emotional Disturbance (SED) Children and Youth served by Voluntary Foster Care Agencies Children and Youth in foster care who have experienced abuse, neglect and maltreatment, and Medically fragile children with complex conditions, requiring significant medical or technological health supports 4
5 How the Children s Medicaid Redesign will Achieve its Goals The State is continuing to work on the details of the following Key Features of the Children s Medicaid Redesign Expanding access to care management for children with chronic conditions under the Health Home program, or for children with lesser needs through Managed Care plans or other vehicles a key to integrating care planning and service provision September 2016 Creating New State Plan Services January 2017 Transitioning existing children s behavioral health benefits from feefor-service to managed care a key to integrating behavioral health and physical health - January/July 2017 Providing greater access to an aligned array of Home and Community Based Services, beginning in 2017 Shifting the voluntary foster care per diem population to managed care, January/July 2017 Principles for Serving Children in Managed Care and Health Homes Ensure managed care and care coordination networks provide comprehensive, integrated physical and behavioral health care that recognizes the unique needs of children and their families Provide care coordination and planning that is family-and-youth driven, supports a system of care that builds upon the strengths of the child and family Ensure managed care staff and systems care coordinators are trained in working with families and children with unique, complex health needs Ensure continuity of care and comprehensive transitional care from service to service (education, foster care, juvenile justice, child to adult) Principles for Serving Children in Managed Care and Health Homes (cont.) Incorporate a child/family specific assent/consent process that recognizes the legal right of a child to seek specific care without parental/guardian consent Track clinical and functional outcomes using standardized pediatric tools that are validated for the screening and assessing of children Adopt child-specific and nationally recognized measures to monitor quality and outcomes Ensure smooth transition from current care management models to Health Home, including transition plan for care management payments 5
6 The Managed Care Technical Assistance Center of New York Two Payment Systems for NYS Medicaid Services 1. Medicaid Managed Care System a managed care organization authorized by NYS receives a monthly premium from NYS Medicaid for an enrolled individual and manages the individual s care within a specific comprehensive benefit package. The Plan assumes risk, provides care management and applies utilization management methods for each member. When providers in the Plan s network (i.e., hold a contract with the Plan) provide a service to the individual, the provider bills the Plan and is paid funds from the premium. 2. Fee-for-Service Delivery System a provider is authorized by NYS to deliver a Medicaid service. If delivered to a Medicaid enrolled individual, the provider bills Medicaid through the emedny billing system. NYS pays the provider directly through emedny, for each Medicaid service delivered. Managed Care: Definition An integrated system that manages health services for an enrolled population rather than simply providing or paying for the services Services are usually delivered by providers who are contracted under a capitated payment structure or employed by the plan Value of services vs. volume of services 6
7 Managed Care: Goals Control Costs Health care costs growing faster than Gross Domestic Product (GDP) Reduce inappropriate use of services Increase competition: focus on value Improve Service Quality Improve Population Health Increase Preventive Services: Promote Health (not just treat illness) Managed Care: Key Ingredients Care management Utilization management Health management Vertical service integration and coordination Financial risk sharing with providers Managed Care: Key Components Network of providers created via contracting Prior approval required for some services. Benefits package with a defined set of covered services Contained list of covered pharmaceuticals (Formulary) Utilization review practices to manage level of care and length of stay Credentialing Outcomes & data driven decision making 7
8 Medicaid Services Transitioning from Fee-for-Service to Managed Care OMH Residential Treatment Facility (RTF) New State Plan Services (SPA) OASAS Outpatient Services OASAS Residential Rehab Newly aligned HCBS Array OMH SED Designated Clinics OMH Day Treatment Children Currently Excluded from Medicaid Managed Care Children with Third Party Health Insurance (i.e., parent has employer offered health insurance or insurance coverage through the Exchange) Children dually eligible for Medicaid and Medicare Individuals who become eligible for Medicaid only after spending down a portion of their income Youth placed in OCFS operated Juvenile Justice facilities Enrollees of Child Health Plus Eligible children served by OPWDD 1915 c waiver Eligible children served by Office for People With Developmental Disabilities (OPWDD) OPWDD Medicaid Redesign is Separate Initiative Children placed with voluntary foster care agencies (moving in) Some children can be eligible for Medicaid but be excluded from Medicaid Managed Care, and still be eligible for certain Medicaid services which would be paid out of the fee-for-service payment system. Michael Michael lives with his mother and two siblings. He is eligible for Medicaid due to the household income and is enrolled in a Medicaid Managed Care Plan. TODAY Michael s Medicaid services are paid by Medicaid Managed Care Plan, who in turn pays providers for: Dental Check Up Pediatrician Visits for well care and treatment of illness Medications Michael has additional Medicaid services paid through NYS Fee for Service Payment System: HCBS services through the OMH SED Waiver Services in an OMH designated SED clinic 2017 and Beyond Transition to MMC Michael s Medicaid services will all be paid by a Medicaid Managed Care Plan with premium dollars, directly to providers: Dental Check Up Vaccinations Testing and Treatment for Strep Throat Services in an OMH designated SED clinic Psychosocial Rehabilitation Health Home Care Coordination HCBS Skill Building HCBS Respite 8

17 It may feel complicated and confusing. but MCTAC and the State will lay it out for you! Beginning in September, 2014, MCTAC offered a tool targeting behavioral health providers to help them assess their own readiness for Managed Care and benchmark them with their fellow agencies around the state. MCTAC Readiness Assessment Domains Domain Name Label in Graphs 1 Understanding MCO Priorities & Present Managed Care Involvement MCO Priorities 2 MCO Contracting Contracting 3 Communication /Reporting (Services authorization, etc.) Communication 4 IT System Requirements IT 5 Level of Care (LOC) Criteria / Utilization Management Practices Level of Care 6 Member Services/Grievance Procedures Member Services Interface with Physical Health, Social Support and 7 Health Homes Interface Quality Management/Quality Studies/Incentive 8 Opportunities Quality 9 Finance and Billing Finance 10 Access Requirements Access Demonstrating Impact/Value (Data Management & Evaluation Capacity) Evaluation 17

Please contact for more information. 18
19 Knowledge and skills (growth orientation) Each member expands his/her awareness and understanding of Medicaid Managed Care (MMC) Each member makes the best use of the resources and tools provided by the learning community to gain knowledge and develop competencies Shared Vision Each member has a shared understanding of Medicaid Managed Care Each member communicates the vision every chance he/she gets Each member engages in an honest discussion about MMC to develop a shared vision Team sees the purpose and direction of change Articulated in a minute or less Shared commitment Each member attends meetings and follows through with tasks Keeps moving forward in the face of inevitable challenges and barriers Outcome orientation Each member works to translate the vision of Medicaid Managed Care into specific and measurable improvements through qualitative and quantitative data. Leadership Perspective Committed leadership with responsibility and authority to guide the change process Involve those affected by the change Involve those expected to carry out the change in day to day activities Involves those with experience or knowledge related to the change Involve those who can provide resources to support the ongoing program development process Involves those whose values, interests, beliefs and orientation aligns with the change (champions) 19
20 3 critical areas that leaders will need to address as part of a sustainable change process: 1. Change Management 2. Quality Improvement Methodology The ongoing capacity to use data to inform decision making 3. Workforce Development New knowledge, skills and mindset It is not unusual for an organization s leadership to believe that it is engaged in promoting strategic change and for its workforce to experience it as shock change. Woodward, H. and Woodward, M.B. (1994). Navigating Through Change. NY: McGraw Hill. The Triple Aim: Enhancing patient experience Improving population health Reducing costs The Quadruple Aim (Bodenheimer & Sinsky 2014): Enhancing patient experience Improving population health Reducing costs Improving the work life of health care providers 20
21 The answers to all of the above questions must be YES if the service is to be paid by the MCO. Providers will be required to complete the contracting and credentialing process to be considered an in-network provider New Contracts vs. Established Contracts Providers with existing Managed Care Contracts may only need to execute/sign contract amendment Providers without an existing contract with an MCO will need to complete the full contracting and credentialing process State Protections Government Rates for 2 Years from implementation date 5 or more Clients MMIS & NPI Technical Assistance Contracting Series outlines contracting basics, timelines, and process Contracting Fairs provides opportunity to meet with MCO reps MCTAC s MCO Matrix Provider credentialing is a systematic approach to the collection and verification of a provider's professional qualifications. The qualifications that are reviewed and verified include relevant training, licensure, certification, and registration to practice in a health care field. Based on current implementation timeline, providers should expect to begin contracting and credentialing processes at least 6 months prior to go-live in coordination with plans. 21
22 Credentialing is important for the following reasons: To ensure quality of care for MCO members; and To avoid potential malpractice liability, if (i) an MCO accepts a provider into its network; (ii) the provider causes patient harm; and (iii) the provider should not have been included in the network based on information the MCO should have been aware of, then the MCO could be exposed to potential liability CSRA (formerly known as Computer Sciences Corporation or CSC) Regional Representatives are available to offer provider billing training on a variety of topics through numerous methods including: Individual meetings with providers to train and troubleshoot issues Group training seminars and webinars To request a meeting with a Regional Representative call emedny Call Center at MCTAC Tools MCO Matrix: interactive online tool that provides critical information necessary for providers to successfully engage with the plans. Billing/Claims: tool that contains critical information for clean claim submission with field by field detail for the UB-04/837i form, plan by plan Glossary of Terms/Top Acronyms/Managed Care Language Guide Utilization Management: tool that provides guidance around prior authorization and concurrent review practices for each plan for state ambulatory services. Credentialing: An integrated tool that provides information on required credentialing processes & documentation Chargemaster: tool to assist providers in cross walking information from services provided to the necessary billing codes. 22

24 Evaluation & Data Data Already Exists The key is to identify it and use it to inform your processes Choose and define the outcomes of focus Capture the data and understand it so that it informs: The client The program The agency The payer Referral Sources Data must be accessible and actionable by everyone 24
25 What is Utilization Management (UM)? The process by which an MCO decides whether specific health care services or specific level of care are appropriate for coverage under an enrollee s plan Primary purpose of the program is to ensure that services are medically necessary, appropriate, and cost-effective Maintain fidelity and integrity of service provisions while meeting UM standards and requirements It s a determination of whether the service is necessary and appropriate for the patient s symptoms, diagnosis, treatment, and recovery Many MCO contract definitions of medically necessary state that services may not be provided primarily for the convenience of the patient or the provider DOH definition of Medically Necessary : Health care and services that are necessary to prevent, diagnose, manage or treat conditions in the person that cause acute suffering, endanger life, result in illness or infirmity, interfere with such person s capacity for normal activity, or threaten some significant handicap.
