Overview Medicaid Overview Review of Medicaid Reforms : Phase 1 Implementation of a New Behavioral Health Services Administrator Virginia’s Program: Commonwealth Coordinated Care Future Reforms: Opportunities for Your Input

Virginia Medicaid: Enrollment v. Spending The historical 30% of enrollment responsible for 70% of expenditures is true …. But it is even more drastic than than that. The 7% of enrollment receiving long-term care services is responsible for almost 35% of expenditures.

Virginia Medicaid Expenditures Top Expenditure Drivers: Enrollment Growth: Now provide coverage to over 400,000 more members than 10 years ago (80% increase) Growth in the U.S. cost of health care Growth in Specific Services: Significant growth in expenditures for Home & Community Based LTC services and Community Behavioral Health services Notes: Average annual growth FY02-FY12 = 8% FY11 expenditures reflect 13 capitation payments and 53 weekly remittances – done to maximize federal match under ARRA

Composition of Virginia Medicaid Expenditures SFY 2012 Long-Term Care Services Medical Services Enrollment – Just shy of 1 million beneficiaries Notes:

Virginia Medicaid Expenditures – Long Term Care Services Notes: Average annual growth total Long Term Care services – 8% Average annual growth Institutional services– 4% Average annual growth Community-Based services– 14% Proportion of Long Term Care services paid through Community-Based care has increase from 30% in FY02 to 51% in FY12

Goals of Medicaid Reform Improve Service Delivery Service delivery should be efficient, cost effective, and provide quality services. Improve Administration DMAS should be accountable, streamlined, and transparent. Increase Beneficiary Engagement Individuals should be engaged in, responsible for, and active participants in their health care. Administrative Simplification The ability to set agreed upon parameters between Virginia and CMS in order to give Virginia expedited flexibility to implement innovative pilots and demonstrations Streamlining operating authority of the Virginia Medicaid program through §1115 waiver authority Including all Medicaid populations (including individuals receiving long-term services and supports) into a managed, coordinated delivery system CMS is very receptive to this reform effort. Meaningful Market Based and Value Driven Reforms Commercial-like Reform of the Virginia Medicaid Benefit Package   Delivery System Reforms Building on innovations and variations in regional delivery systems to test options beyond traditional health plans; and Leveraging tight, high quality, provider networks. Payment and Reimbursement Reforms Bundling payments for select services and procedures; Linking incentives to increased primary care utilization and quality metrics; and Using the Commonwealth’s broad purchasing power to align state contracts: state employee health plan, QHP with the exchange, Medicaid, FAMIS, etc.

Working with CMS to Implement Reforms in Virginia Key CMS Approvals/Support Medicare-Medicaid Enrollee (dual eligible) Financial Alignment Significant Reforms to the Managed Care Organization Contracts Fast Tracking Reviews of Eligibility and Enrollment Changes Additional Required Medicaid Reforms Two Key Questions: What Reforms Can be Implemented with the Existing Medicaid Population under Current Authority? What Reforms Can be Implemented with the Existing Medicaid Population that Require Additional CMS Authority or Waivers? (e.g., Bed Hold Days for congregate residential placements)

Virginia Must Implement Medicaid Reform in Three Phases Phase 1: Advancing Current Reforms Dual Eligible Demonstration Enhanced Program Integrity Foster Care New Eligibility and Enrollment System Behavioral Health Veterans

Virginia’s Dual Eligible Demonstration: Commonwealth Coordinated Care Demonstration beginning January 1, 2014 and running through December 31, 2017 Will provide high-quality, person-centered care for Medicare-Medicaid beneficiaries that is focused on their needs and preferences Blends Medicare’s and Medicaid’s services and financing to streamline care and eliminate cost shifting

Who Pays for Services in Virginia? MEDICAID Nursing facility (once Medicare benefits exhausted) Home- and community-based services (HCBS) Hospital once Medicare benefits exhausted Optional services: personal care, select home health care, rehabilitative services, some behavioral health Some prescription drugs not covered by Medicare Durable medical equipment not covered by Medicare MEDICARE Hospital care Physician & ancillary services Skilled nursing facility (SNF) care (up to 100 days) Home health care Hospice Prescription drugs Durable medical equipment

The Problem for the U.S. & Virginia Medicare and Medicaid are not designed to work together resulting in an inefficient, more costly delivery system At the national level, we are spending 39% of Medicaid funds on 15% of the Medicaid population Individuals and providers have to navigate two complex systems of support

The Solution: Commonwealth Coordinated Care Provides high-quality, person-centered care for Medicare-Medicaid enrollees that is focused on their needs and preferences Blends Medicare’s and Medicaid’s services and financing to streamline care and eliminate cost shifting

Commonwealth Coordinated Care Creates one accountable entity to coordinate delivery of primary, preventive, acute, behavioral, and long-term services and supports Promotes the use of home- and community-based behavioral and long-term services and supports Supports improved transitions between acute and long-term facilities

Who is Eligible? Full benefit Medicare-Medicaid Enrollees including but not limited to: Participants in the Elderly and Disabled with Consumer Direction Waiver; and Residents of nursing facilities Age 21 and Over Live in designated regions (Northern VA, Tidewater, Richmond/Central, Charlottesville, and Roanoke)

Who is Not Eligible? Individuals not eligible include those in: The ID, DD, Day Support, Alzheimer's Technology Assisted HCBS Waivers MH/ID facilities ICF/IDs PACE (although they can opt in) Long Stay Hospitals The Money Follows the Person (MFP) program

Virginia’s Strategies to Address Needs Enhanced Care Management DMAS working with Stakeholders to design care management, including expectations, levels of care management, how to best manage care for subpopulations (e.g., chronic conditions, dementia, behavioral health needs, etc.), how to structure transition programs in hospitals and NFs Behavioral “Health Homes” for individuals with SMI with MCOs partnering with the CSBs (Could also be ID) Encouraging MCOs to link/sub-contract with different providers for care coordination (e.g., CSBs, adult day care centers, NFs)

Virginia’s Strategies to Address Needs Develop strong consumer protections (e.g., external ombudsman, grievances and appeals) Ensure individuals only have to make one call to receive all their Medicaid and Medicare funded services – 24/7 help lines Provide access to disease & chronic care management services that could improve overall health conditions and/or slow down decline Develop strong quality improvement programs, measures and monitoring Use existing community systems to strengthen services and supports Rate Development; method for applying savings adjustments

Medicare-Medicaid Enrollees in Virginia eligible for Commonwealth Coordinated Care Approximately 78,600 Medicare-Medicaid Enrollees           Region                Nursing Facility EDCD Wavier Community Non-waiver Total Central VA 4,430 3,762 16,135 24,327 Northern VA 1,935 1,766 12,952 16,653 Tidewater 3,031 2,492 12,575 18,098 Charlottesville 1,477 842 4,427 6,747 Roanoke 2,833 1,355 8,583 12,771 13,706 10,217 54,672 78,596

Proposed enrollment process Eligible Populations Enrollment and Disenrollment Process and Timeframes: Opt-in only period; Passive enrollment; Two enrollment phases, based on regions Offering opt out provisions before and after enrollment Developing enrollment algorithms to connect individuals with MCOs based on past enrollment and provider networks, to extent feasible

Benefits for Virginia Eliminate cost shifting between Medicare and Medicaid and achieve cost savings for States and CMS Reduce avoidable, duplicative or unnecessary services Streamline administrative burden with a single set of appeals, auditing and marketing rules, and quality reporting measures Promotes and measures improvements in quality of life and health outcomes Slows the rate of both Medicare and Medicaid cost growth

Covered Services All services covered now by Medicaid and Medicare will be covered including: Pharmacy (Part D and those OTC covered by Medicaid) Nursing home services EDCD Waiver services (including CD services) PPL will be acting as the fiscal agent for all health plans Carved Out Services Targeted Case Management Emergency Dental

Benefits for Individuals and Families One system of coordinated care Person-centered service coordination and case management One ID card for all care 24 hour/7 days a week, toll free number for assistance Disease and chronic care management (if applicable) Health plans may add supplemental/enhanced services, such as dental care, vision and hearing One appeals process Consumer protections (180 day service auth honored, keep physician even if out of network) No co-pays (except w/Part D or pt. pay for LTC services)

Benefits for Providers One card for each member May participate with multiple Medicare/Medicaid Plans but will not have multiple authorization and payment processes between Medicaid and Medicare Initial authorization periods will be honored for up to 6 months; also members can stay with physicians for that period of time if they aren’t in the health plan’s network Centralized appeal process

Outreach and Education Stakeholder engagement Dedicated website Trainings to providers and local agencies Educational materials such as presentations, toolkits, fact sheets, FAQs, public service announcements Working with community partners to educate and inform Partnering with Virginia Insurance Counseling Assistance program (VICAP) counselors and Virginia’s Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program

In the coming weeks…. Continued negotiation with three health plans (readiness reviews, rate setting, determining network adequacy) Development of the three-way contract between CMS, Virginia and the health plans Continued outreach and education to all stakeholders

Another Key Step Toward Medicaid Reform: Implementation of a Behavioral Health Services Administrator The contract was awarded to Magellan Health Services and in May 2013 and will be implemented December 1, 2013. The contract with Magellan fulfills the directive to improve several program areas including: The coordination of care for individuals receiving behavioral health services with acute and primary services and The value of behavioral health services purchased by the Commonwealth of Virginia www.dmas.virginia.gov 30

Covered Services Non-Traditional & Traditional EPSDT In-Home Behavioral Services Community Mental Health Rehabilitation Services (includes Intensive In Home, Therapeutic Day Treatment, and Mental Health Supports) Targeted Case Management Treatment Foster Care Case Management Residential Treatment (Levels A, B & C) Substance Abuse Services Inpatient and Outpatient Psychiatric Services (such as individual, group and family therapy) 31
