12 Important Medicaid Policies Community integration is a right under the ADA driving Medicaid LTSS reform Federal standards for settings in which HCBS are received Individuals are not eligible for Medicaid financing when a patient in an Institution for Mental Disease Most Medicaid enrollees are in Managed Care arrangements for some/all services 12
13 ADA Anniversary: 25 Years July 26, 1990 Americans with Disabilities Act signed by President George H.W. Bush Civil rights legislation that prohibits discrimination and guarantees that people with disabilities have the same opportunity as everyone else to participate in the mainstream of American life. (DOJ) Olmstead decision: right to receive services in most integrated community setting
14 Medicaid Goal: Transform LTSS Institutional (nursing home) care is mandatory service; home and community based alternatives to nursing facilities are optional Goal: elders and others with disabilities have choice to receive long term services and supports at home, in community LTSS should be person centered, consumer driven 14
15 90% 80% 70% 60% 50% 40% 30% 20% 10% Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) is 49.5% of LTSS 82% 81% 18% 19% Medicaid Institutional and HCBS Expenditures as a Percentage of Total Medicaid LTSS Expenditures, FFY % 75% 74% 73% 70% 70% 67% 65% 63% 61% 59% 57% 55% 52% 52% 50.5% Institutional 48% 48% 49.5% HCBS 43% 45% 41% 39% 36% 37% 33% 30% 30% 24% 25% 26% 27% 0% 15
16 HCB Settings Challenge Decreasing Isolation Increasing Integrated Life 16
17 HCBS Settings Requirements Integrated in and supports access to the greater community Provides opportunities to engage in community life, seek employment and work in competitive integrated settings, control personal resources Ensures the individual receives services in the community to the same degree of access as individuals not receiving Medicaid home and community-based services 17
18 HCBS Settings Requirements Is selected by the individual from among setting options, including non-disability specific settings Ensures an individual s rights of privacy, dignity, respect, and freedom from coercion and restraint Optimizes individual initiative, autonomy, and independence in making life choices Facilitates individual choice regarding services and supports, and who provides them 18
19 If Provider Owned or Controlled Residential Setting Legally enforceable lease or other written agreement (same responsibilities/protections from eviction as all tenants under local landlord tenant law) Privacy in their sleeping or living unit Choice of roommates, freedom to furnish and decorate their units Freedom and support to control their schedules and activities; access to food and visitors at any time 19
20 Presumed NOT to be HCB Settings in a facility providing inpatient treatment Settings on grounds of, or adjacent to, a publicly owned or operated institution Settings which have the effect of isolating individuals from the broader community of individuals not receiving Medicaid HCBS 20
21 Institution for Medicaid Disease Under the IMD payment exclusion, Federal Medicaid funds cannot be used for most patients in mental health and substance use disorder residential treatment facilities larger than 16 beds.
