8 Global Waiver 8
9 What is a Section 1115 waiver? The federal government grants a waiver to allow states to do something under Medicaid that they couldn t ordinarily do under Medicaid rules. Section 1115 of the Social Security Act gives the Secretary of Health and Human Services authority to approve experimental, pilot, or demonstration projects under the Medicaid and CHIP programs that demonstrate and evaluate potential program changes that improve care, increase efficiency, and reduce costs. 9
10 What populations will the waiver cover? The Medicaid Transformation waiver covers all Apple Health (Medicaid) beneficiaries. Additionally, Washington will establish a new eligibility criteria and limited benefit package for individuals who are at risk for future Medicaid use because they need some long-term services and supports (LTSS) but do not currently meet Medicaid financial eligibility criteria. 10
11 What will happen to people s existing benefits? Apple Health clients existing benefits will remain in place. No one's benefits will be cut. Washington intends to better tailor its LTSS benefits to meet the varying needs of its aging population by offering two additional limited benefit packages the benefit described in the previous question, and a benefit that will provide supports to unpaid family caregivers. The State will revise the functional eligibility criteria for nursing home services so that only those clients with the most serious needs qualify for institutional care; however, anyone currently receiving this level of care will continue to be served. 11
12 What the Medicaid Transformation waiver does for Washington state Provides flexibility and expenditure authority to achieve our vision for a Healthier Washington. Allows us to test, scale, and spread successful models of care. Supports providers in building capacity. Builds connections within communities that allow for the right care, at the right place, at the right time, with the right provider. 12
13 Creating healthier communities and sustainable health systems by: Building healthier communities through a collaborative regional approach Ensuring health care focuses on the whole person Improving how we pay for services 13

17 and the enrollees and their needs are different Before the Affordable Care Act, 60% of enrollees were children; now the majority of enrollees (55%) are adults. 22% of the new adult enrollees have a mental health diagnosis. 14% have a substance use disorder. And, while the new adult group has lower hospital admission rates than other non-disabled adults, their inpatient stays average 50% longer. Data provided by Research and Data Analysis, DSHS, June

19 and their health care needs may increase as they age By 2035, the number of people age 75 or older will have risen by roughly 150%. Between 2010 and 2040, we anticipate a 181% increase in Medicaid clients over age 65 with Alzheimer s. 70% of people who reach the age of 65 are likely to need long term supports and services at some point in their lives. Biennial expenditures by the state for long term supports and services are currently $3.4 billion or 6 percent of all general fund spending. Data provided by Research and Data Analysis, DSHS, June
20 Goals: Triple Aim Reduce avoidable use of intensive services - such as acute care hospitals, nursing homes, psychiatric hospitals, and traditional long-term services and supports. Improve population health - with a focus on the prevention and management of diabetes and cardiovascular disease, obesity, smoking, mental illness, and substance abuse for Medicaid enrollees and communities. Accelerate the transition to value-based payment - so providers are paid for higher quality and improved health outcomes. Ensure that Medicaid cost growth is two percentage points lower than national trends. 20
21 Federal Requirements Five-year demonstration project - With year zero as opportunity for planning and startup. CMS must not spend more federal dollars with the waiver than they would have spent without the waiver Evaluation of waiver hypotheses - Technical assistance from CMS on evaluation design. Transformation must be sustainable after the demonstration period ends - The State and its partners must develop plans to sustain Medicaid transformation after federal waiver investments end. 21

32 Reporting Income in Healthplanfinder Ensure that you are assisting the client in reporting their correct gross monthly income on their Healthplanfinder application. Gross monthly income is the income earned before any taxes and deductions are taken out. 32
33 Reporting Income in Healthplanfinder Clients who are less than forthcoming in reporting their income will be audited through a post eligibility review and will be required to provide verification of their actual income. Reporting income that is not true or inaccurate is insurance fraud. 33
34 Designating an AREP for Apple Health Authorized Representative (AREP) A person or organization that is authorized by an applicant or recipient to act on behalf of him or her for Apple Health eligibility purposes. An AREP may: Obtain information needed to determine the applicant s or recipient s eligibility for Apple Health programs; and Obtain other information related to Apple Health coverage such as certification periods, renewals, changes, etc. 34
35 Responsibilities of an AREP Have a good-faith belief that the information he or she provides to the agency is correct. Act responsibly in assisting with an application and renewal of eligibility and other ongoing communications with the agency, while acting on behalf of the client. Report changes in circumstances as required under WAC
36 How to Designate an AREP Online application in Healthplanfinder Paper application HCA P MAGI HCA Classic AREP form DSHS (shared DSHS/HCA form) 36
37 Organizations as an AREP If a department within an organization is designated as an AREP for a client, other individuals within that department may also act as an AREP for that client. Individuals from other departments within that organization may not act as an AREP. Example: King County Public Health is a large organization with many departments. While any employee from the Access and Outreach department may be authorized to act as an AREP for a client, individuals from other departments within their organization (such as the West Nile Virus program) would not be authorized to act as an AREP for that client. 37
