Project Overview Kentucky s Affordable Care Act-compliant system (called kynect), was transferred and configured to meet Oregon s MAGI Medicaid/CHIP eligibility determination needs. Oregon s system is called Oregon Eligibility (ONE) or just ONE. Kentucky system exists in production and works correctly Minimum necessary system customizations were planned and made Policy and business processes will change wherever feasible 3
Oregon s Medicaid Eligibility & Enrollment Medicaid eligibility will be completed in the ONE System. The Medicaid enrollment system of record is Oregon s MMIS. Oregon MMIS Oregon CCOs Applicants apply for Oregon Health Plan (OHP) coverage via ONE (Medicaid Eligibility Determination) Applicants eligibility information is passed from ONE to MMIS to enroll in OHP and get a coverage card (Medicaid Enrollment) MMIS sends CCO enrollment files to enroll OHP members in particular CCOs 4
Project Mission and Key Benefits The Mission Improve Oregonians access to health care by providing a simplified process for eligibility determination and enrollment in Oregon Health Plan (OHP) Key Benefits Better coordination of care for mixed household families because applicants complete a single application through the HealthCare.gov website or within the ONE system to receive an eligibility determination for MAGI Medicaid/CHIP or private health insurance Oregonians can set-up an account, report changes and receive real-time eligibility determinations via the user-friendly Applicant Portal Simplified OHA eligibility workload via automated process that generates tasks for case management Centralized and verified enrollment data available for Coordinated Care Organizations Consistent quality data source for reporting CMS-mandated operational statistics 5
Median Household Income Key Benefit Applicants complete a single application through the HealthCare.gov website or within the ONE system to receive an eligibility determination for MAGI Medicaid/CHIP QHP QHP QHP 400% APTC APTC APTC % of FPL 300% 200% 100% 305% Child OHP Median Household Income in Oregon = Between 200-300% FPL 190% OHP Pregnant Woman 138% OHP Adult The Median Household Income in Oregon often results in mixed eligibility households. A key benefit of the ONE system will be the ability to track these households and service each member of the family. 6

Appendix
10 Things to Know About the ONE Project l. Oregon has elected to transfer and implement the Kentucky eligibility and enrollment system (called KYNECT) meaning we are bringing a system that already works, to Oregon for use by OHA. 2. The project is minimizing changes to the KYNECT system and limiting them to the ones needed for Medicaid policies in Oregon that don t exist in Kentucky (like emergency Medicaid for non-citizens) or are necessary to support a Supported State Based Marketplace (like Account Transfer with the Federal Marketplace (FFM) or Medicaid Coverage Check (MEC)). 3. OHA is using a system integrator on the project Deloitte Consulting who built the original system in Kentucky. 4. The system will be hosted in the Oregon DAS Enterprise Technology Services State Data Center under control of state resources to support it. 5. There are some technical changes that need to be made to the Kentucky system to make it work in Oregon, including integration with an existing Document Management Solution and a new security COTS software product (Kentucky had a custom developed application) for their specific needs. 6. The ONE system will have interfaces with Oregon s MMIS (5 total), with the FFM (10 total) and with a few Oregon specific data sources (like Employment Department). Interface development is on-track based on the project schedule. 7. There is a phased implementation schedule planned for the ONE system: Worker Portal & integration with FFM (i.e. Bi-Directional Account Transfer) December 15, 2015 Applicant Portal for client self-service February 6, 2016 (after open enrollment finishes)
10 Things to Know About the ONE Project 8. OHA is convening a group of external advisors including Legislators, Coordinated Care Organization representatives, as well as Community Partner representatives to advise on implementation planning for the ONE system. First meeting will be held in July 2015. 9. When the system goes live, each current Medicaid enrollee will need to have an eligibility determination completed in the ONE system by a worker before they can use the Applicant Portal for inquiries or reporting changes in circumstance, via self-service. 10. Nothing about the new ONE system makes the problem of Medicaid clients wanting to choose a CCO based on participating providers better (or worse). The ONE system will provide a webpage with links to CCO provider directories, maintained by CCOs so that Oregonians can search to see if their provider is in a particular organization. The ONE system does provide applicants (accessing the system through the online Applicant Portal) the ability to choose a preferred CCO based on residential zip code should the applicant be found eligible. The ONE system will NOT interface with OHA Office of Health IT (OHIT) Provider Directory at initial implementation. OHIT is currently working on a statewide provider directory project that will leverage data from existing, authoritative, and accurate provider data sources, such as common credentialing. The provider directory is not anticipated to be consumer-facing but instead will be a resource for provider directory systems (potentially including MAGI) to validate their own directories and improve the accuracy of their data they provide. See attached PDF for useful information regarding the MAGI Medicaid System Transfer project. MAGI Project Information
