4 Jenna Libersky Mathematica Policy Research The Integrated Care Resource Center, an initiative of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services Medicare-Medicaid Coordination Office, provides technical assistance for states coordinated by Mathematica Policy Research and the Center for Health Care Strategies.
5 About this presentation This presentation will inform states pursuing integrated care and managed long-term services and supports (MLTSS) programs about key oversight practices across states with MLTSS The information draws largely from a 2012 survey of eight states with MLTSS experience See: Lipson, D., J. Libersky, R. Machta, L. Flowers, and W. Fox-Grage. Keeping Watch: Building State Capacity to Oversee Medicaid Managed Long-Term Services and Supports. Report no Washington, DC: AARP Public Policy Institute, July Available at health/medicare-insurance/info /keeping-watch-building-statecapacity-to-oversee-medicaid-managed-long-term-services-andsupports-aarp-ppi-health.html. 5
6 Many state oversight activities for MLTSS are similar to those used for other Medicaid managed care programs that only cover acute and primary services But because LTSS users have greater needs, MLTSS oversight needs to be more frequent and population-specific Monitoring must include additional provider types For example: nursing homes, personal care attendants, adult day health centers, social service providers Services should be monitored more often, ideally in real time For example: through electronic verification systems Travel and accessibility requirements must account for beneficiary needs For example: provider network time-to-travel standards should account for mobility impairments, and language requirements for member education materials should accommodate people with intellectual disabilities For Medicare-Medicaid beneficiaries ( dual eligible individuals ), oversight of Medicaid services should be coordinated with Medicare 6
7 7 States oversight practices vary, even among experienced states Variation is due to the length of time operating MLTSS, number and range of contractors/beneficiaries/services, staff knowledge and skills, coordination and communications practices, staff turnover, technology, etc. The following slides present norms and promising practices from eight states that have operated MLTSS programs for more than two years Oversight activities fall into five categories: 1. Organization and staffing 2. Contract monitoring and performance improvement 3. Provider network adequacy and access to services 4. Consumer rights 5. Quality assurance and improvement
8 8 Over time, many states integrate LTSS oversight functions into agencies or units dedicated to all Medicaid managed care programs Integration provides a comprehensive view of services and promotes efficient use of staff States also train or repurpose existing staff, or hire new staff with oversight skills Examples include contract negotiation, knowledge of managed care operations, consensus building, and data analytics
9 Contract monitoring and performance improvement On-site readiness reviews for new managed care contractors and regular on-site reviews for continuing contractors 1 Strong partnership with MCOs, characterized by frequent communication about contract issues Financial incentives to drive performance For example, savings for MCOs that exceed targets for use of HCBS as opposed to institutional care Provider network adequacy and access to services Medicaid agency or mystery shoppers to verify that provider offices are open and accepting new patients 1 For more information on readiness reviews activities in AZ, MN, TN, TX, and WI, see: Flowers, Lynda. Ready, Set, Go! The Readiness Review Process for Care Coordination and Provider Network Adequacy in Five States. Washington, DC: AARP Public Policy Institute, December Available at 9
10 10 Consumer rights Ombudsman investigates MLTSS member problems Critical incidents are monitored daily Member grievances and appeals are regularly reviewed and discussed with MCO managers Quality assurance and improvement Electronic visit verification systems are used to monitor home care services in real time Dashboard of quality indicators presents a comprehensive picture of performance Encounter data are used to construct quality measures and to monitor performance Care management activities are reviewed, usually through a sample of records
11 11 Monitoring care coordination can help identify system-wide problems Gaps in provider networks, inaccessible sites of care, poor-quality services, need for specific benefit counseling, breach of consumer rights, etc. MLTSS programs that use 1915(c) waivers must follow the same procedures to monitor HCBS and care coordination as they would under fee-or-service (FFS) Oversight activities include: Specifying responsibilities and qualifications for care managers Reviewing a sample of individual care plans to ensure home visits and comprehensive assessments occur on schedule Reviewing training materials for care managers to ensure that the guidance conforms to state standards and policies Surveying a sample of clients by telephone to discuss their experience of care
12 Receipt of HCBS based on a comprehensive care assessment and care plan within 30 days of enrollment Share of members asked about their care preferences Number of home safety evaluations Screening and treatment for falls Case manager turnover rates Nursing facility diversion rates Plan all-cause readmissions Nursing home readmissions within 30 days of discharge Follow-up after hospitalization for mental illness Medication reconciliation after discharge from inpatient facility Percentage of members with a change in ADLs/IADLs Employment status Member satisfaction 12
