2 Resources for States NASHP has launched a Resources to Improve Medicaid for Children and Adolescents map: The map offers: State-specific resources on several topics, including data collection, care coordination, and behavioral health Strategies that state policymakers and Medicaid officials are using to deliver the Medicaid benefit for children and adolescents Additional national resources 2 A Federal Perspective on Care Coordination under the Medicaid Benefit for Children and Adolescents Rosemary Field Health Insurance Specialist Division of Quality, Evaluation & Health Outcomes, Center for Medicaid and CHIP Services Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services 3 2

3 Making Connections: Strategies for Strengthening Care Coordination in the Medicaid Benefit for Children &Adolescents One of a series of strategy guides to help states improve child health services delivered through Medicaid and CHIP. Intent of this strategy guide: Support states to effectively deliver services to enrolled children by sharing state strategies on care coordination, in order to improve the care experience and improve health outcomes. Inform states of federal authorities and CMS resources that support care coordination in current and emerging delivery system models. Available at: Information/By-Topics/Benefits/Early-and-Periodic- Screening-Diagnostic-and-Treatment.html 4 What is Care Coordination? Care coordination involves a range of activities to help connect a child to services while assisting the family in providing for the child s care. Care Coordination is: Comprehensive: All services a child receives, including services delivered by systems other than the health system, are coordinated. Patient-centered: Care coordination is intended to meet the needs of the child and the family, both developmentally and in addressing chronic conditions. Access and Follow-up: Care coordination is intended not only to connect children and their families to services, but also to ensure that services are delivered appropriately and that information flows among care providers and back to the primary care provider. 5 3

4 Why Care Coordination is Important Care coordination helps to ensure that individual children get the health care they need when they need it the right care to the right child at the right time in the right setting. Care coordination is particularly important for children with special health care needs. 6 Strategies to Strengthen Care Coordination Strategy 1: Build Care Coordination into Provider Standards for Medical Homes Strategy 2: Support Primary Care Providers through Separate Care Coordination Entities Strategy 3: Build Care Coordination Requirements into Contracts with Managed Care Strategy 4: Implement a Multi-faceted Intervention to Improve Coordination Across Systems 7 4

5 Federal Authorities for Care Coordination State Plan Amendments Targeted Case Management State Plan Amendment ACA Section 2703 Health Home State Plan Amendment 1932(a) State Plan Amendment (voluntary/mandatory PCCM/MCO) Primary Care Case Management Contract Integrated Care Model State Plan Amendment State Contracting Authority (1915(a) voluntary managed care) Waivers 1915(b) Freedom of Choice Waiver 1915(c) Home and Community-Based Waiver Section 1115(a) Demonstration Waiver 8 Federal Support for Care Coordination Policy Guidance: Medication Assisted Treatment for Substance Use Disorders Policy Considerations for Integrated Care Models Coverage of Behavioral Health Services for Children, Youth, and Young Adults with Significant Mental Health Conditions CMS Funding: State Innovation Models Initiative CHIPRA Quality Demonstration Grants Health Care Innovations Awards. Accountable Care Organizations Comprehensive Primary Care Initiative Other HHS Initiatives: Early Childhood Comprehensive Systems (HRSA grants) Project LAUNCH (SAMHSA grants) 9 5

6 The Future of Care Coordination Building ACA section 2703 Health Homes for Chronic Conditions to coordinate care for Medicaid beneficiaries with chronic conditions. Paying for care coordination using procedure codes that were created in 2008 in order to reimburse for medical team conferences; and 2013 to reimburse for services including complex chronic care coordination services and transitional care management services. Testing new integrated care delivery systems designed to improve care coordination such as Accountable Care Organizations, Coordinated Care Organizations, and Coordinated Care Entities. Adopting quality measures for care coordination as developed through the Centers for Excellence, and CHIPRA quality grants. 10 Washington Oregon North Colorado Carolina Dana Hargunani, Child Health Director, Oregon Health Authority Chris Collins, Director, Office of Rural Health and Community Care, North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services Insights from States 11 6

7 We understand that both Oregon and North Carolina are building on patient-centered medical home infrastructure to coordinate care for children in Medicaid. Tell us about your states models and how they apply to children. 12 Oregon s Patient-Centered Primary Care Home (PCPCH) Program Oregon s PCPCH Model is defined by six core attributes, each with specific standards and measures set through a public process: Access to Care Be there when we need you Accountability Take responsibility for us to receive the best possible health care Comprehensive Whole Person Care provide/help us get the health care and information we need Continuity Be our partner over time in caring for us Coordination and Integration Help us navigate the system to get the care we need safely and timely Person and Family Centered Care recognize we are the most important part of the care team, and we our responsible for our overall health and wellness 13 7

8 Tiered Levels of Primary Care Home-ness Advanced Primary Care Home Proactive patient and population management Accountable for quality, utilization and cost of care outcomes Intermediate Primary Care Home Demonstrates performance improvement Additional structure and process improvements Basic Primary Care Home Foundational structures and processes 14 Success in PCPCH Enrollment Spending for primary care and preventive services are up 20% Enrollment in PCPCH has increased by 52% since baseline 15 8

9 Patient-Centered Medical Home (PCMH) Role in Coordinating Care for Children Primary care case management (PCCM) infrastructure in place since 1991 Linked Medicaid recipients to a primary care provider Developed Community Care of North Carolina (CCNC) Networks in 1998 Care management services Community health teams Funding with a Medicaid pm/pm payment State Plan Amendment Enhanced over time: Assuring Better Child Development (ABCD) Funded with smart start resources and CCNC network pm/pm Health check coordinator Funded through per member per month (pm/pm) Medicaid Public health care managers Medicaid converted targeted case management to PM/PM CHIPRA Funded by CMS Quality Measures Medical homes for children with special needs Pediatric electronic health record (EHR) 16 Additional Resources For Practice Transformation Opportunities that financially support PCMH Medicare Advanced Primary Care Practice (MAPCP) Demonstration (CMS) Meaningful use (CMS) Blue Quality Physician Program (BlueCross BlueShield of NC) Technical assistance that supports PCMH CCNC web based modules on PCMH CHIPRA Maintenance of Certification IV training / Quality Improvement Specialist Regional Extension Centers NC Medical Society Foundation 17 9
