7 Why Participant Direction? Comparative effectiveness research on participant-directed programs found: No increase of fraud or abuse over the traditional system More positive health outcomes Cost effective -can decrease use of more expensive services over long term Participants were up to 90% more likely to be very satisfied with how they led their lives 7 Significantly reduced unmet personal care needs 7

10 AoA s Long-Term Vision Use research to develop a LTSS system that delivers participant-directed programs Participant-directed programs are available in every community in the nation Through various AoA programs Core Programs, ADRC, EBDP, VD-HCBS, and LTSS Core Competency drive the culture and systems changes that enable participant direction to be the primary way people access, obtain, and receive LTSS 10
11 AoA & NRCPDS Long-Term Services and Supports Workforce Participant-Directed Core Competencies Project Environmental Scan and Literature Review Stakeholder Involvement Identify Core Competencies Develop Workforce Self- Assessment Tool Catalog Course Curriculum to Develop Core Competencies 11
12 Department of Labor Long-Term Supports and Services Competency Model The Participant Direction Competency Model builds on the Department of Labor Long-Term Supports and Services Competency Model (LTSS-CM [Figure 1]). The LTSS-CM consists of a set of nine tiers of work force competencies. The nine tiers are divided into blocks representing the skills, knowledge and abilities considered essential for successful job related performance. The tiers include: Tier 9: Management Competencies: These competencies domain are specific to supervisory and managerial occupations. Tier 8: Occupation-Specific Requirements: This domain includes requirements such as certification, licensure, and specialized educational degrees, or physical and training requirements. Tier 7: Occupation-Specific Technical Competencies: The detailed skills required for work in a specific occupation. Tier 6: Occupation-Specific Knowledge Competencies: The detailed knowledge areas required for work in a specific occupation. Tier 5: Industry-Specific Technical Competencies: Competencies included in this domain represent the knowledge, skills, abilities and other characteristics needed by all occupations within an industry segment (e.g. AAAs, ADRCs). Tier 4: Industry-Wide Technical Competencies: Competencies included in this domain represent the knowledge, skills and abilities needed by all occupations within an industry (e.g. LTSS). Tier 3: Workplace Competencies: Competencies included in this domain represent those skills and abilities that allow individuals to function in an organizational setting. As with the Academic Competencies, these are generally applicable to a large number of occupations and industries on a national level. Tier 2: Academic Competencies: Basic academic skills of reading, writing, etc apply to all organizations represented by a single industry or industry association nationwide. Tier 1: Personal Effectiveness Competencies: These competencies are the base tier because they are essential for all life roles not exclusive to the competencies needed for a successful career or role in the workplace. 12 Figure 1: Long-Term Supports and Services Competency Model

30 Questions? Krista Hughes, Director (501)
31 MEDICAID MANAGED LONG- TERM CARE 31
32 MMLTC Is a Delivery Model States Use in Lieu of Fee-for-Service Capitated MMLTC Medicaid agency and contractors enter into agreement under which contractor accepts risk of providing defined Medicaid LTC services Alternative types of MMLTC capitation packages: Medicaid-covered LTC services only All Medicaid-covered acute and LTC services All Medicare and Medicaid-covered services (additional plan contract with CMS required for Medicare portion) State Medicaid Agency Capitated Payment Managed Care Contractor Negotiated Payments (FFS, Per Diem, etc.) Providers 1 Source: AARP Public Policy Institute Issue Brief, Medicaid Managed Long-Term Care,
33 There Are Three Basic MMLTC Models Medicaid Services for Which Managed Care Contractor is at Risk Medicare Services for Which Managed Care Contractor is at Risk MODEL 1: Medicaid LTC Only Home and Community Based Services (HCBS) Nursing Home Care MODEL 2: Medicaid-Only HCBS Nursing Home Care Medicaid-Covered Primary Care Services Medicaid-Covered Acute Care Services Medicaid-Covered Pharmacy MODEL 3: Medicaid-Medicare Integration HCBS Nursing Home Care Medicaid-Covered Primary Care Services Medicaid-Covered Acute Care Services Medicaid-Covered Pharmacy None None Medicare Acute Care benefits Medicare Prescription Drug Benefit Dual eligibles may also be enrolled in Medicare managed care and receive Medicaid LTC services in either FFS Medicaid, or in MMLTC Models 1 or 2 Source: AARP Public Policy Institute Issue Brief, Medicaid Managed Long-Term Care,
34 Models One and Two Rely on a State-Only Contracting Structure HCBS State Medicaid Agency Capitated Payment Managed Care Contractor Case Manager Assigned by Contractor to Individual Alternative Residential Settings Nursing Facilities ICF/MR (DD Only) Hospice Medicaid Acute Care Services Case Management Behavioral Health 34
35 Model Three Requires Several Contracting Vehicles and Sophisticated Administrative Infrastructure CMS Medicare Advantage Special Needs Plan Contract Medicare Capitation Payment State Medicaid Agency Medicaid Capitation Payment Managed Care Contractor Medicaid and Medicare Acute Care Services HCBS Alternative Residential Settings Nursing Facilities Hospice MA developed state Medicaid Managed Care Plan Contract language intended to coordinate with CMS Medicare requirements to reduce administrative burden on plans and the state 35
36 MMLTC Market has Grown but is Less Prevalent Than Primary/Acute Managed Care Notes: 1) Does not include PACE; 2) Rhode Island s program includes managed primary and acute care LTC remains fee-for-service; 3) Wisconsin also operates a Medicare-Medicaid Integration program called the Wisconsin Partnership Program; and 4) Some states require their Medicaid managed care plans to also be SNPs -- only historical integration state program are noted above Sources: CMS Waiver database at ; Saucier, Paul, Brian Burwell, and Kerstin Gerst, The Past, Present and Future of Managed Long-Term Care, prepared for the DHHS Office of the Assistant Secretary for Planning and Evaluation, April 2005; NASUAD Research 36 Statewide MMLTC MMLTC in Portions of State Medicare-Medicaid Integration with MMLTC
37 Multiple Avenues for States to Create MMLTC Programs MMLTC Enrollment and Program Authorities Section 1115 Demonstration Waivers Section 1915(a) Medicaid Managed Care State Plan Amendment (SPA) With or without Section 1915(c) or Section 1915(i) Section 1932(a) State Plan Amendment Section 1915(b) Managed Care Waivers Section 1915(b) and HCBS 1915(c) Combination Waivers Program for All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE) MMLTC and Medicare-Medicaid Integration Initially Social Health Maintenance Organizations (S/HMO) and Section 222 Medicare Waivers Replaced by Medicare Modernization Act authority for Medicare Advantage Special Needs Plans (SNP) 37
38 SNPs are MA-PD Plans but With Special Requirements SNPs are similar to MA-PDs because they Must be an MA-PD plan and use the MA-PD application process Offer all MA services including the Part D drug benefit Generally must follow MA plan marketing guidelines Paid using the same risk-adjusted payment system as MA-PD SNPs differ from regular MA-PD because they Have been reauthorized by Congress several times but with additional requirements Must provide services tailored to their special needs population that go beyond standard Medicare services May limit enrollment to certain populations Have a variety of Part D Special Election Periods (SEP) that allow Medicare beneficiaries to enroll throughout the calendar year 38
39 Some States Using SNPs To Deliver Integrated Medicare and Medicaid Services Current Delivery System Medicare and Medicaid administered by different units of government No vehicle for beneficiary health care information exchange Medicare and Medicaid cover some of same services but with different service definitions and limits Integrated SNP Delivery System Plans contract with CMS for Medicare Advantage services; state contracts for Medicaid MCO services Care coordination provides assistance with service access, tracking, utilization management SNP gets capitated payments for duals from both Medicare and Medicaid Medicaid covers key services Medicare does not 39
40 Several Actions are Necessary When MMLTC is Under Consideration Strategic Options LTC provider and consumer advocate perspectives Study State Medicaid Managed Care landscape SNP Current plan marketplace Penetration rates Enrollment of ABD populations Same as above but also state contracts with SNPs Required Decision Points/Actions Mandatory versus Voluntary Scope of Capitated Benefits Target Populations Geographic Coverage Payment Methods Enrollment Authority Quality Oversight Contract development Operational resources 40
