Agenda Medicaid Expansion Overview Newly Eligible Adult Population Policy and Authorities Section 1115 Demonstration Waiver Provider Assessments Systems Changes Eligibility and Enrollment Delivery System Outreach and Communications

Who Qualifies for Virginia Medicaid Now? Not all low-income Virginians are eligible 205% FPL ($42,599) Children 0-18 (family of 3) 205% FPL ($42,599) Pregnant Women (family of 3) 80% FPL ($9,712) Person With Disability 33% FPL ($6,924) Parents (Family of 3) Not Eligible Childless Adults

Who Qualifies for Virginia Medicaid Under Expansion? Medicaid expansion will provide quality, low- and no-cost coverage to up to 400,000 Virginians Adults ages 19 – 64, not Medicare eligible Income from 0% to 138% Federal Poverty Level *Percent income may vary by locality

Overview of New Health Coverage for Adults Beginning January 1, 2019 Up to 400,000 more Virginia adults will enroll in quality, low- and no-cost health coverage People working in retail, construction, childcare, landscaping, food service or other jobs that do not offer health insurance may be eligible

Who Are Virginia’s Uninsured? Recent focus groups with uninsured adults in Virginia who have incomes below 138% FPL offered key findings: Cost has been the main barrier to coverage as well as working in jobs or for employers that do not offer coverage Most have been putting off getting health care services, paying out of pocket at a clinic when sick, or going to ERs when they become seriously ill The new adult population has a strong interest in enrolling in Medicaid and many say they will apply Most are unaware that Virginia will expand Medicaid Many fear “rejection” if they apply, as they have been unsuccessful in the past

Overview of Medicaid Expansion Requirements The 2018 Appropriations Act directs DMAS to implement new coverage for adults and transform coverage State Plan Amendments, contracts, or other policy changes Implement new coverage for adults with incomes up to 138% FPL and implement early reforms for newly eligible individuals § 1115 Demonstration Waiver Implement required reforms that transform the Medicaid program for certain individuals DMAS is working in parallel and will submit a § 1115 Waiver while awaiting CMS approval of State Plan Amendments

State Plan Amendment v. Waivers State Plan Amendment (SPA) Waivers Amending the State Plan for Medical Assistance, which is Virginia’s agreement with the federal government for administering the Medicaid program 25 state plan amendments (SPAs) on average annually Regulations in Virginia Administrative Code (12 VAC 30 Chapters 5-110) 90-day approval period Waive parts of the Social Security Act Different waiver types § 1915(b) establishes a managed care service delivery system § 1915(c) establishes home and community based services § 1115 tests new research and demonstration projects Uncertain timeline for approval by CMS

Early Medicaid Reforms Empower individuals to improve their health and well-being and gain employer-sponsored or other commercial coverage, while ensuring fiscal sustainability Health and Wellness Accounts Work Referrals Appropriate Utilization of Services Health and Wellness Accounts Healthy Behavior Incentives Referrals to job training, education, and job placement assistance for all unemployed, able-bodied adults Appropriate Utilization of ED Services Enhanced Fraud Prevention Efforts

Future Medicaid Reforms (Under § 1115 Waiver) Required Medicaid reforms for populations earning 100-138% FPL will promote healthy behaviors and foster personal responsibility Healthy Behavior Incentives Personal Responsibility Health and Wellness Accounts comprised of participant contributions and state funds to be used to fund premiums, cover out-of-pocket expenses for the deductible, and the ability to roll over funds into succeeding years if not fully used Cost-sharing to promote healthy behaviors (e.g. avoidance of tobacco use) Cost-sharing reductions for compliance with healthy behaviors Monthly premiums, copayments, and deductibles Cost-sharing to encourage accountability for service utilization (e.g. appropriate ED use) Waiting period prior to re-enrollment if premium not paid

Future Medicaid Reforms (Under § 1115 Waiver) The Training, Enrollment, Education, Employment and Opportunity Program (TEEOP) will increase the health and well-being of able-bodied adults through community engagement Gradually Increasing Participation Community Engagement Activities Certain Populations Are Exempt Medically Complex Children < Age 18 Individuals > Age 65 Primary Caregivers with a Dependent Child < Age 18 Others Participation in community engagement activities increases gradually to at least 80 hours per month Employment Job Skills Training Education Volunteering Job Search Activities Caregiving
