Comprehensive Medicaid Waiver Renewal Update 15 WHAT IS AN 1115 WAIVER AND WHY DOES NEW JERSEY NEED TO SUBMIT A RENEWAL? The New Jersey 1115 Comprehensive Medicaid Waiver Demonstration is a Research and Demonstration waiver granted by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) under Section 1115(a) of the Social Security Act (SSA). Demonstrations under Section 1115 of the SSA give states flexibility to design and improve their programs using innovative ideas that are typically not allowed under Medicaid and CHIP rules. The Comprehensive Waiver gives NJ the authority to operate most of the NJ FamilyCare program, including: Mandatory Managed Care Managed Long Term Services and Supports (MLTSS) Supports Program Children s Home and Community Based Services (HCBS) Programs Delivery System Reform Incentive Payment (DSRIP) The Comprehensive Waiver expires on June 30, 2017 16 8
Key Concepts For Renewal Move to an integrated, coordinated, and organized behavioral health delivery system, that includes a flexible and comprehensive substance use disorder (SUD) benefit; Increase access to services and supports for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities; Further streamline NJ FamilyCare eligibility and enrollment; Develop an uninterrupted re-entry system for incarcerated individuals; Include reinvestment dollars targeting housing support services for individuals who are homeless or at-risk of being homeless; Enhance access to critical providers and underserved areas through alternative provider development initiatives; Expand and enhance population health partnerships with community and faith-based organizations, public health organizations, healthcare providers, employers, and other stakeholders to improve health outcomes for Medicaid-eligible individuals. 17 Waiver Renewal Process To Date The amended application was submitted to CMS on Friday, September 16, 2016. CMS completed its review of the application and forwarded clarifying questions to DMAHS on October 4, 2016. DMAHS revised the application to address these questions and resubmitted a draft application to CMS on November 22, 2016. DMAHS incorporated feedback from CMS in the amended draft application, and posted for an additional 30 days of public comment from January 9 to February 10, 2017. DMAHS presented and solicited public feedback on the amended application at the MAAC meeting on January 23, 2017. The revised renewal application was submitted to CMS on March 2, 2017. CMS posted New Jersey s Waiver application for a 30-day federal public comment period (March 10 April 10, 2017). The current Waiver period ends June 30, 2017. New Jersey is engaging with CMS on the Waiver Renewal. 18 9
Renewal Information The Renewal application, and waiver updates, can be found on the Division s website at: http://www.state.nj.us/humanservices/dmahs/home/waiver.html Updates and ways of participating in workgroups will be announced through stakeholder forums like the MLTSS Steering Committee and the MAAC.
