29
Drug Court Initiative (DCI) 29 It is a good idea for Providers to market their program to local or statewide Drug Courts Referrals will come directly from the Drug Court Coordinator; not from DMHAS For all admission denials and administrative discharges, contact Steve Fishbein with specific reason for each via e-mail Steve.Fishbein@dhs.state.nj.us Steve.Fishbein@dhs.state.nj.us Drug Court extensions have a separate process than other initiatives (will be addressed later in this presentation)
30
Drug Court Initiative (DCI) 30 Physical and mental health medications are billed through a paper billing process DC reimburses providers at cost for 2 months per level of care (this is meant to be used as a bridge while providers assist clients to access other means for paying for their medications) To request an electronic version of medication billing forms Send an e-mail to Chad Williams at Chad.Williams@dhs.state.nj.us, (609) 292-7808 or Steve Fishbein at Steve.Fishbein@dhs.state.nj.us, 609-777-0655 Chad.Williams@dhs.state.nj.usSteve.Fishbein@dhs.state.nj.us

Co-occurring Network Enhancement 42 Co-occurring services are an enhancement to treatment There is a difference between Co-occurring Licensure and being approved as a Co-occurring provider in the FFS network Provider must contact Office of Licensure (OOL) to add co-occurring services to their existing Ambulatory or Residential Addictions License per N.J.A.C. 10:161B-10.4 DMHAS requires that once approved for the MATI, DUII, RRI or SJI FFS networks, a provider must apply and be accepted into the Co-occurring network Once OOL approves co-occurring status, a provider must submit a separate application seeking quantitative detail descriptions of how co- occurring services will be delivered, scoring a 70 or above to be FFS co- occurring approved
43
Co-occurring Enhancement Services 43 Psychiatric Evaluation Comprehensive Intake Evaluation Medication Monitoring/Consultation Clinical Consultation Family Therapy (with or w/out client present) Individual Therapy- half hour or one hour session Co-occurring Group Therapy Crisis Intervention Case Management DMHAS Co-occurring contact is Chad Williams, 609-292-7808; Chad.Williams@dhs.state.nj.usChad.Williams@dhs.state.nj.us
44
Extension Request Process 44 Who: All fee for service network providers will need to submit an Extension Request LOCI for continued care review What: Extensions allow the client to continue in treatment after the initial authorization expires at the same level of care When: Providers are prompted to submit an extension request within NJSAMS 15 days prior to the end of the authorization Where: Providers request an extension in the NJSAMS Extension Request LOCI (ERL) Why: Providers will not get reimbursed for services if the client continues in treatment without a new authorization
45
FFS Extension Review Process for Continuing Care Authorizations 45 All Fee for Service Network providers must submit the ERL through NJSAMS for the DMHAS Extension Review Staff DMHAS Extension Review will consist of: The completion of the ERL – all appropriate ASAM Dimensions completed using ASAM Risk Rating language with supporting clinical documentation. Extension request LOCIs cannot be more than 30 days old when submitted to Drug Court and DMHAS otherwise they will not be accepted When the ERL is completed appropriately, the provider is notified by DMHAS Extension Review staff via ERL in NJSAMS
46
ERL Approval Approval Status can be found under ERL by clicking “MODULES” on horizontal menu. 46
47
FFS Extension Review Process for Continuing Care Authorizations 47 If corrections to the ERL are needed to be made by the provider, then the Extension Request will be denied by DMHAS Extension Review Staff via ERL in NJSAMS The request will be denied until the Extension Request is resubmitted and appropriately completed by the provider; the request can then be approved by DMHAS Extension Review Staff
48
FFS Extension Review Process for Continuing Care Authorizations 48 Examples of Fee for Service Extension Request Denials: The DMHAS Extension Review Staff determined that the ERL was insufficient in its information as it does not have supportive documentation in the appropriate dimensions to justify the need for treatment at the level of care requested Client was already discharged from treatment; an extension request is no longer needed Client’s level of care was changed which does not require an extension request The provider requested an extension for ASAM Level 1.0 (Outpatient Treatment) which does not ever require an extension
49
Drug Court Extension Review Process for Continuing Care Authorizations 49 Extension Request Policy for Drug Court participants requires additional steps Each Drug Court treatment provider must contact the referring Drug Court and e-mail them an ERL (Extension Request LOCI) for their review, prior to submitting to DMHAS The LOCI MUST be able to justify the level of care A Drug Court Extension request cannot proceed without Drug Court notification Once the referring Drug Court team completes their final review of the ERL, the Drug Court Coordinator will then forward the Extension Request to the DMHAS Extension Mailbox indicating their approval DMHAS staff reviews the DC Coordinators’ approved extension request per the general policy The Drug Court Coordinators’ denied extension requests are not forwarded to the DMHAS extension Mailbox
50
Drug Court Extension Requests 50 Drug Court Clients extension requests must be approved by Drug Court Coordinator You can find the Drug Court Coordinator and their back-up’s e-mail addresses on www.nj-das.net under Documents /Referenceswww.nj-das.net All Fee for Service Network providers must submit the ERL via NJSAMS for the DMHAS Extension Review Staff
51
Drug Court Extension Requests Should your program experience difficulties contacting the referring Drug Court Coordinator within 72 hours, please contact Steve Fishbein, DMHAS’ Drug Court Coordinator at (609) 777-0655 or steve.fishbein@dhs.state.nj.ussteve.fishbein@dhs.state.nj.us 51

53
Click on “provider services”; then choose “Enter a new claim” 53
54
DMHAS FFS Billing Procedure 54 Provider agencies will enter claim data (encounter) for each client on the www.nj-das.net website Encounter data includes: date, service type, number of units; and, if claim is for co-occurring services, counselor credentials Encounter data will be the basis for generating claims Providers will receive electronic payments directly from CSC Providers must have electronic payment capabilities established with CSC in order to receive payment
55
FFS Claim Submission Requirements 55 Service/claim submission is required regularly, at least weekly There has to be a level of care service provided and a claim entered within the first fifteen days to keep the authorization active for the second fifteen days There has to be a level of care service provided and a claim entered within the second fifteen days to keep the authorization active If the authorization stays active, you will have an additional 15 days to review your billing to be sure you did not miss billing for any services before the authorization is totally closed Important Note: Active Auths with Claim Submission Report available on www.nj-das.net (discussed later in presentation)www.nj-das.net
56
FFS Claim Submission Requirements 56 Example Authorization 123789 Start Date 1/6 End date 2/5 Initial encounter/claim: Service must be reported by 1/21 or authorization will be cancelled with full encumbrance and 0 value for utilization –authorization will be cancelled as of 1/6 (the start date), If service is reported between 1/6 and 1/21 the authorization will remain open till 1/21 Mid-point encounter/claim Additional service must be reported by 2/5 or the authorization will be cancelled on 2/5 with a cancel date of 1/21. LOC Authorization value will be based on date of cancel. If it is an outpatient service the full encumbrance will have been assigned for utilization rate calculation since all outpatient are fully encumbered by 15 days. Final Claim Submission: Agency must complete submission of all claims for the above authorization by 2/20. If claim submission is not complete and agency submits claim Timely Filing error 108 will be identified when claim is submitted

What is Utilization Rate? 64 Utilization rates are a performance indicator that mirrors clinical events of successful engagement and retention in treatment Research has shown that high engagement and retention rates are strongly correlated with positive treatment outcomes The practice of monitoring utilization rates will maximize provider service delivery and claims submission Manage FFS resources through fiscal project in order to ensure funds will be available for existing clients as well as new clients
65
Definitions for Utilization Reports 65 Initial LOC encumbrance Service Package maximum encumbrance Authorization Value LOC Adjusted value if authorization end date is revised is cancelled prior to initial end date. End date is revised and authorization value is adjusted based on rules for prorating authorization. Total Claims Provider amount billed for LOC services without enhancements Utilization Rate Total of LOC claimed divided by LOC Authorization value
66
Rationale for Calculation of Utilization Rates 66 DMHAS has sought to establish a fair and transparent methodology for calculating the utilization or consumption rate while allowing for maximum flexibility in the delivery of services Residential authorizations are pro-rated based on number of days the authorization is active Because the outpatient service packages include several services with different rates, and there is not a simple 1:1 relationship between a unit of service and a day of service, DMHAS is using a 2:1 ratio between the value of the authorization and the number of days in the service period to calculate the utilization rate
67
Utilization Rates 67 For the purposes of calculating utilization rates, the total authorization value is calculated as the total 30-day encumbrance amount divided by 15 and multiplied by the number of days that the authorization was open and active For example, an authorization with a 30-day value of $600 is worth $20 a day (20 x 30 = 600) One or more services can be delivered and claimed on a given day, and the actual reimbursement for those services will exceed $20 for a given day Providers should exercise caution when canceling authorizations to ensure that there is sufficient value on the authorization to submit a claim for services rendered
68
Prior-authorization cancellation parameters 68 Authorizations cancelled prior to start date are not included in utilization rate calculation Level of Care authorization value will be prorated. If agency cancels authorization in timely manner this will positively impact utilization rate Note: outpatient authorizations after 15 days will be equal to full encumbrance Authorizations cancelled by the system result in a utilization rate of “0” for the cancelled authorization
69
Authorization Cancellation Reasons 69 Cancelled by Agency Agency Error Change Payer Source Client Discharge Client No-show Client Service Needs Changed Cancelled by CSC Automated Cancellation – Zero Utilization (void voucher) Automated Cancellation – Partial Utilization
