Lessons From the Past Enrollment of disabled consumers implementation results demonstrate this is now integral part of managed care in Michigan and has been for more than a decade and highlighted as innovated change in other states. Auto Enrollment of beneficiaries. Assumed to be infringement on choice however implementation result is about 2/3 rd of enrollment making choice and ample opportunity for those auto assigned to make subsequent choice. 5/16/2012 MICHIGAN ASSOCIATION OF HEALTH PLANS 15
Lessons From the Past cont. Mandatory enrollment of pregnant women. Experience in implementation is now matter of course with standards for prenatal care resulting in performance exceeding national averages. Enrollment of foster care children. Experience in implementation again has shown greater access to care and more attention to available services compared to regular fee for service. 5/16/2012 MICHIGAN ASSOCIATION OF HEALTH PLANS 16
Lessons From the Past cont. Provider taxes. Without the oversight and implementation by the Administration, the Medicaid program in Michigan would have received significant reductions years ago its success in developing multiple provider taxes is one the reasons why no eligibility and limited benefit reductions have taken place in Michigan compared to other states. Managed Care. The move from fee-for-service to the physician sponsored plan to managed care were progressive steps all of which were opposed at that time by those supporting the status quo. 5/16/2012 MICHIGAN ASSOCIATION OF HEALTH PLANS 17

Access to appropriate providers, who are able to serve the unique needs of dual eligibles. Strong accountability and oversight of the delivery of all services.
