2 Agenda Chapter 257 Implementation and Status Update Impact of Governor’s FY12 Supplemental Budget Filing Updated Implementation Timeline and Key Milestones Implementation Strategy Setting Rational Rates Overview of DCF Family Stabilization Services Overview of Programs and Services (DCF) Contract Alignment (DCF) Review of Methodologies and Approaches Timeline and Contract Conversion

3 Impact of Governor’s FY12 Supplemental Budget Filing Governor’s supplemental budget signed in on April 11, 2011 as Chapter 9 of the Acts of 2011 establishes new deadlines for implementation as well as require that related procurements not go forward until after the rate setting process. Note: Family Stabilization Services as purchased by DCF will not be procured following the promulgation of rates; Existing procurement effective through June 30, EOHHS is developing communication to be posted on the Chapter 257 website and disseminated to departments and providers regarding the legislation, implementation plan, and activities that will be undertaken.

4 How will this legislation impact planned implementation? New implementation dates require meeting the current work schedule so that 40% of the POS system will have rates adopted by January 1, Delay reflects the amount of time needed to not only develop rate proposals, but to also plan for effective implementation. Allows for better alignment with the Commonwealth’s budget cycle; fiscal and client impact of proposed rates will be incorporated into Department spending plans and Governor’s budget proposal. Subsection (E) requires that departments not procure services prior to rate setting, where procurement is warranted. New procurements may only be issued with the written approval of the Secretary based on a documented finding that the procurement is necessary to assure: Continuity of consumer health, safety, or access, Program integrity, where a new contract is necessary to replace an existing contract that terminated early due to unanticipated circumstances, or Compliance with a court order, settlement agreement, or statutory requirement.

5 Chapter 257 of the Acts of 2008 Regulates Pricing for the POS System Chapter 257 places authority for determination of Purchase of Service reimbursement rates with the Secretary Of Health and Human Services under MGL 118G. The Division of Health Care Finance and Policy provides staffing and support to EOHHS for the development of Chapter 257 Pricing. Chapter 257 requires that the following criteria be considered when setting and reviewing human service reimbursement rates: Reasonable costs incurred by efficiently and economically operated providers Reasonable costs to providers of any existing or new governmental mandate Changes in costs associated with the delivery of services (e.g. inflation) Substantial geographical differences in the costs of service delivery Some current rates within the POS system may not reflect consideration of these factors. Additional funding was not appropriated to finance any potential cost increases associated with the law. The statute specifies a four year implementation timeframe. Year 1Year 2Year 3Year 4 Statutory Requirement: Percent of POS System with Regulated Rates 10%30% Spending Base Associated with Statutory Percentage (based on current projection of $2.1B POS Baseline to be implemented) ~ $215M~ $645M

6 Family Stabilization Services Service Class Definition: Programs that provide supports to enrolled individuals and families with the purpose of promoting stability, whether this involves preventing out-of-home placement, supporting transition between placements, or independent living. Rates for DDS, DMH, and MCB services have already been proposed and a public hearing relative to the promulgation of these rates was held on March 9, 2011 Today we will be discussing DCF Family Networks Support & Stabilization Department Activity Code Program NameProjected FY11 Spending DCF FNSSFamily Networks Supp & Stab $ 41,098,031 DDS 3176Family Support $ 27,176,293 DMH 3066Individual and Family Flexible Supports $ 14,737,426 MCB 2124Respite Care - Sr $ 251, Cooperative Funding - Sr $ 198,482 Total Projected FY11 Spending$ 83,461,332

7 DCF Family Stabilization Services Approximately 320 programs (some just different rates) provided by nearly 130 contractors. Continuing commitment to investment in community-based services. Focus on Flexibility: DCF did not dictate in the RFR the specific nature or design of the interventions providers could propose to achieve DCF goals. Rooted in the Community: Have the capacity to be shaped in a manner that will address the specific needs of each family Focus on Permanency Current Taxonomy: Comprehensive, Parent Support, Youth Support, Assessment, Family Stabilization, Placement Diversion, Reunification, Other Examples of programs: After-school, Supervised Visitation, Skill Building, Parent Aide, Parent Support Groups, Mentoring, In-home Respite, etc.

8 Approach to Pricing Multiple Unique Programs Challenge is allowing this flexibility in child welfare practice while meeting the pricing standardization required by the Chapter 257 process. The approach: Identify and categorized programs by common structure and cost factors. Comprehensive models: 6 proposed models which allow for different levels of clinical and staff intensity on an enrollment day basis. Can include Parent Aid.

9 Approach to Pricing Multiple Unique Programs (Cont.) Discrete services (generally hourly based pricing): Identify those priced elsewhere- DDS, CBHI, MassHealth, etc. Transportation Only programs under consideration for inclusion in EOHHS Transportation Contract. Remaining to be priced: Key cost indicators: Staff qualifications, staffing intensity, supervision intensity, standard costs: occupancy, fringe, etc, allow for some variation – e.g., Travel Broad categories have been tentatively identified: Hourly based direct care/professional services Group services After school programs Other Specialties

19 DCF Rate Implementation Preparation: Non-utilized programs not renewed for FY12. May be re-started after negotiation with DCF Contract Manager. Rates to be proposed Fall 2011 for January 1, 2012 promulgation January through March, 2012 for July 1, 2012 Rate Implementation Teams formed to review/discuss classification with providers Key indicators used to assign rate – e.g., staff qualifications Apply consistent standards, allow for review process Program adjustments documented as necessary

20 Department Service Design Finalized: All service components, staffing ratios, staff qualifications, other program inputs have been decided by the purchasing department. Executive Sign-Off: Commissioner and C257 Executive Committee sign-off on draft rates and implementation plan. EO485 Submitted to ANF: Draft rate regulation to ANF; Will better align the rate regulation proposal with budget planning. Contract Alignment: DCF will work with providers to bring contract into alignment with the new class rates. Rates Effective: Where possible, reimbursement under regulated rates will align with beginning of SFY to minimize mid-year contract amendments for both purchasing Departments and providers.
