Magnolia Health Mississippi Children s Health Insurance Program The Children s Health Insurance Program ( CHIP ) is designed to provide health care insurance for children in families without health insurance or with inadequate health insurance. CHIP covers children from birth to age 19. CHIP is administered by the Mississippi Division of Medicaid ( hereinafter, DOM ). Eligibility is continuous for one year. There are no premiums or deductibles, although there may be a small co-payment for some services for higher-income families on CHIP. 4
WHAT IS CHIP & HOW IT WAS CREATED? Section 4901 of the Balanced Budget Act of 1997 ( BBA ) amended the Social Security Act (the Act) by adding a new title XXI, the State Children s Health Insurance Program ( SCHIP ). Title XXI provides funds to states to enable them to initiate and expand the provision of child health assistance to uninsured, low-income children. On February 4, 2009, President Obama signed the Children s Health Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2009 ( CHIPRA ). This legislation provided states with significant new funding, new programmatic options, and a range of new incentives for covering children through Medicaid and CHIP. One of the clear goals of CHIPRA is to support states in developing efficient and effective strategies to identify, enroll, and retain health coverage for uninsured children who are eligible for Medicaid or CHIP, but who are not enrolled. 5
PROGRAM OVERVIEW (cont.) The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (March 23, 2010), as amended by the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 (March 30, 2010) are collectively known as the Affordable Care Act ( ACA ). The ACA expands access to health coverage through improvements in Medicaid and CHIP, and the establishment of the new Affordable Insurance Exchanges. 6
CHIP Contracting Magnolia Health has a contractual agreement with Mississippi Physicians Care Network (MPCN) to utilize their network of practitioners and facilities statewide for the Magnolia Health Mississippi Children s Health Insurance Program (MS CHIP). Practitioners & Facilities that have a current agreement with MPCN will be considered participating for the Magnolia MS CHIP network. Practitioners that currently DO NOT have a contract with MPCN and wish to participate with Magnolia Health MS CHIP will be required to participate and contract with MPCN who will manage the Magnolia CHIP network to include contracting and credentialing of the providers that wish to participate. For additional information about MPCN, please contact 1-800-931-8533 to speak to a representative. EXCEPTION: Federally Qualified Health Clinics (FQHC) and Rural Health Centers (RHC) that are currently contracted with Magnolia Health are automatically amended to participate in the Magnolia MS CHIP product. FQHC s or RHC s that are NOT contracted with Magnolia Health can contact a representative in our Network Development and Contracting Department at 1-866-912-6285. No Out-Of-Network benefits will be available for the Magnolia Health MS CHIP
CHIP ELIGIBILITY Eligibility for CHIP will be determined by the Division of Medicaid according to rules approved by the Division of Medicaid. Application will be made on the same form, which is used to apply for Medicaid. Eligible Child: An Eligible Child is defined as a Low-income Child who meets the following criteria: Is a Mississippi resident with intent to stay; Does not have creditable health coverage at the time of application; Is not eligible for Medicaid; Is not an inmate of a public institution or a patient in an institution for mental diseases. 8

Quasi-CHIP / MississippiCAN As of January 1, 2014, States determine income eligibility for children using the modified adjusted gross income (MAGI) methodology. Section 2101(f) of the ACA provides that states maintain coverage under a separate CHIP for children who lose Medicaid eligibility. Magnolia s MississippiCAN will accommodate children who are now in this Quasi-CHIP category, as a result of the elimination of the application of income disregards under Section 1902(e)(14) of the Social Security Act. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services ( CMS ) amended 42 C.F.R. 457.310, with the addition of paragraph (d), to include these children in the definition of a targeted low-income child.
Quasi-CHIP / MississippiCAN 2101(f) protection applies only to children who are enrolled in Medicaid as of December 31, 2013, and who, at their first renewal where MAGI methodologies are applied, are determined ineligible for Medicaid as a result of the elimination of income disregards and are not otherwise eligible for existing, separate CHIP. States must provide coverage through a separate CHIP until the child s first scheduled annual review (12 months), with the following exceptions: The child reaches age 19; The child moves out of state; Voluntary disenrollment is requested; or The child dies.
PROTECTING OUR NEW ENROLLEES Under the ACA, states must apply the new MAGI Methodology. Magnolia Health is committed to protecting our new enrollees from any disruptions as they transition from CHIP to MississippiCAN or vice versa. This process is known as churn, which is caused by a change in eligibility status due to fluctuations in income, loss of job, or changes in family circumstances. Please pay close attention to the preceding slides that discuss the categories of eligibility (COE) for both CHIP and MississippiCAN. Magnolia Health has in place processes that protect our new enrollees and members by ensuring a smooth transition in care and ensuring that our new enrollees and members are empowered in their continuity of care process.

Verify Eligibility It is highly recommended to verify member eligibility on the date services are rendered due to changes that occur throughout the month, using one of the following methods: Log on to the Medicaid Envision website at: WWW.ms-medicaid.com/msenvision/ (pending) Log on to the secure provider portal at WWW.MagnoliaHealthPlan.com Call our automated member eligibility interactive voice response (IVR) system at 1-866-912-6285 Call Magnolia Provider Services at 1-866-912-6285 (MEMBER ID CARDS ARE NOT A GUARANTEE OF ELIGIBILITY AND/OR PAYMENT)
PCP Panel/PCP Assignment PCP Panel: PCPs can locate and download their panel list by accessing our secure web portal at www.magnoliahealthplan.com. Log on using your username and password and select Patients at the top of the screen. Providers have the option to download their panel list to an Excel spreadsheet. Panel list includes information regarding eligibility, care gaps, and case management/disease management alerts. Providers are encouraged to use this tool, as it is the most up-to-date method for tracking their member panel. Members have the option to select a PCP. If no selection is made within 30 days of enrollment, the member is auto-assigned to a PCP. Magnolia Health will use an Auto-Assignment Algorithm to assign an initial PCP. The Auto-Assignment Algorithm assigns members to a PCP according to the following criteria: Member history with a PCP: The algorithm will first look for a previous relationship with a network PCP. Family history with a PCP: If the member has no previous relationship with a PCP, the algorithm will look for a PCP to which someone in the member s family, such as a sibling, is or has been assigned. Appropriate PCP type: The algorithm will use age, gender, and other criteria to ensure appropriate match, such as children assigned to pediatricians and pregnant women assigned to OB/GYNs. Geographic proximity of PCP to member residence: Auto-assignment logic will ensure members travel no more than 30 miles in rural regions and 15 miles in urban regions. 22
Cultural Awareness and Sensitivity Providers must ensure that: Members understand that they have access to medical interpreters, signers, and TDD/TTY services to facilitate communication without cost to them. Medical care is provided with consideration of the member s race/ethnicity and language and its impact/influence of the member s health or illness.

These actions may include but are not limited to: Remedial education and/or training around eliminating the egregious action More stringent utilization review Recoupment of previously paid monies Termination of provider agreement or other contractual arrangement Civil and/or criminal prosecution Any other remedies available Some of the most common WAF submissions seen are: Unbundling of codes Up-coding Add-on codes without primary CPT Use of exclusion codes Excessive use of units Diagnosis and/or procedure code not consistent with the member s age and/or gender Misuse of benefits Claims for services not rendered If you suspect or witness a provider inappropriately billing or a member receiving inappropriate services, please call our anonymous and confidential hotline at 1-866-685-8664

Care Management Magnolia s Care Management Program uses a multidisciplinary team approach to provide individualized process for assessment, goal planning and coordination of services. The Care Management Program is available to all members, emphasizing prevention and continuity of care. Magnolia s Care Management team provides assistance with complex medical conditions, health coaching for chronic conditions, transportation assistance to appointments, interpreter services, location of community resources, and encouragement of self-management through disease education. The Care Management team will incorporate the provider s plan for the member into our Care Plan, so we can focus on the same problems and same care interventions. 29
HEDIS/WELL CHILD CARE HEDIS (Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set): One of the most widely-used set of health care performance measures in the United States Includes 81 measures, focusing on prevention, screening, and maintenance of chronic illnesses Information is collected via claims or through medical record review. HEDIS scores are used to compare health plans. They show us how well we educate our membership and provide access to quality care. Members and providers can see our yearly HEDIS scores on our website www.magnoliahealthplan.com. Providers can get information on how well they (or their practice) are managing their member panels in comparison to their peers. WELL CHILD CARE VISITS: Comprehensive and Preventive Child Health Program for individuals under the age of 19 years WELL CHILD CARE services must be documented in the member s medical record. Please bill vaccines with specific antigen codes to Magnolia Health Mississippi CHIP. For the CHIP Program a provider cannot participate in the Vaccines For Children (VFC) program and bill for CHIP children. This will ensure we receive HEDIS information and the child is up-to-date on immunizations. It will also help improve Magnolia Health HEDIS rates. (Please note, payment will be made for the accompanying administration code only.) For information on proper documentation of WELL CHILD CARE services, please contact Sai Kota at 601-863-0906 or skota@centene.com 30

ED Policy Magnolia utilizes a network of hospitals to provide services to Magnolia members. Hospitals are requested to: Notify the PCP immediately or no later than the close of the next business day after the member s appearance in the emergency department (ED) Obtain authorizations for selected outpatient services as listed on the current prior authorization list, except for emergency care and post-stabilization services Notify Magnolia s Medical Management department by sending an electronic file daily of all emergency room admissions for the previous business day. The electronic file should include the member s name, Magnolia member ID, presenting symptoms/diagnosis, date of service (DOS), and member s phone number Notify Magnolia s Medical Management department of all newborn deliveries on the same day as the delivery Magnolia hospitals should refer to their contract for complete information regarding the hospitals obligations and reimbursement 34
Clinical Protocols Magnolia affirms that utilization management decision making is based only on appropriateness of care and service and the existence of coverage. Magnolia does not specifically reward practitioners or other individuals for issuing denials of service or care. Consistent with 42 CFR 438.6(h) and 422.208, delegated providers must ensure that compensation to individuals or entities that conduct utilization management activities is not structured so as to provide incentives for the individual or entity to deny, limit, or discontinue medically necessary services to any member. Magnolia has adopted utilization review criteria developed by McKesson InterQual products to determine medical necessity for healthcare services. InterQual appropriateness criteria are developed by specialists representing a national panel from community-based and academic practice. InterQual criteria cover medical and surgical admissions, outpatient procedures, referrals to specialists, and ancillary services. Criteria are established and periodically evaluated and updated with appropriate involvement from providers. InterQual is utilized as a screening guide and is not intended to be a substitute for practitioner judgment. Magnolia s Medical Director reviews all potential medical necessity denials and will make a decision in accordance with currently accepted medical or healthcare practices, taking into account special circumstances of each case that may require deviation from the norm in the screening criteria. Please visit the Practice Improvement Resource Center (PIRC) at www.magnoliahealthplan.com for Clinical Practice Guideline and Preventative Guidelines 35
