3 3 http://www.dmas.virginia.gov Virginia Public Procurement Act DMAS must operate under strict Code of Ethics Rules until successful completion of the competitive procurement process (also known as the RFP process), in accordance with the Virginia Public Procurement Act, §2.2‐4300 of the Code of Virginia. DMAS published the RFP on April 29, 2016, and it is available at: http://www.dmas.virginia.gov/Content_pgs/rfp.aspx http://www.dmas.virginia.gov/Content_pgs/rfp.aspx Presently, we are operating under a competitive procurement and we may not be able to respond to all of your questions.

4 4 http://www.dmas.virginia.gov Virginia’s Medicaid Program Facts 1 in 8 Virginians rely on Medicaid 1 in 3 Births in Virginia covered by Medicaid 58% Long-Term Services & Supports spending is in the community 1 Million + Virginians covered by Medicaid/CHIP 50% Medicaid beneficiaries are children 2 in 3 Residents in nursing facilities supported by Medicaid - Primary payer for LTSS Behavioral Health Medicaid is primary payer for services

5 5 http://www.dmas.virginia.gov Medicaid expenditures are disproportionate to covered populations. Older adults and individuals with disabilities make up over 25% of the total population, yet almost 70% of expenditures are attributed to this group. Virginia Medicaid Population and Expenditures

6 6 http://www.dmas.virginia.gov Legislative Mandates: Managed Care General Assembly Directives beginning 2011 through 2015 Continue to transition fee- for-service populations into managed care Phase 3 of Medicaid Reform Initiatives Move forward with managed long term services and supports (MLTSS) initiatives Value of Managed Care Timely access to appropriate, high- quality care; comprehensive care coordination; and budget predictability Consistent with Virginia General Assembly and Medicaid reform initiatives, DMAS is moving forward transitioning individuals from fee-for-service delivery models into managed care.

7 7 http://www.dmas.virginia.gov Benefits of Managed Care 7 Managed Care Basics DMAS contracts with managed care organizations (MCO) DMAS pays a per-member per- month (PMPM) payment MCOs contract with providers and pay claims 75% of Virginia Medicaid enrollees are currently enrolled in Medallion 3, a managed care program. Benefits of Managed Care Improves quality of care Broader provider network More flexible – can include services that cannot be provided in fee-for- service Actuarial soundness to ensure rates are not too low Care coordination assists member with navigation through system Medicaid no longer a “welfare program” – it is health coverage Private sector shares risk with government

8 8 http://www.dmas.virginia.gov Introducing Commonwealth Coordinated Care Plus (CCC Plus) 8 New statewide Medicaid managed care program beginning July 2017. Will serve 212,750 individuals with complex care needs. Integrated delivery model that includes medical services, behavioral health services and long-term services and supports.

10 10 http://www.dmas.virginia.gov CCC Plus Person Centered Delivery Model Fully Integrated & Person Centered Model Integrates Physical, Behavioral, SUD, & LTSS Intensive Care Coordination/ Integration with Medicare Timely Access & Enhanced Community Capacity Improved Quality Management Rewards High Quality Care with Value Based Payments Improved Efficiency and Fiscal Stability

11 11 http://www.dmas.virginia.gov Medicare and Medicaid MEDICARE COVERS  Hospital care  Physician & ancillary services  Skilled nursing facility (SNF) care  Home health care  Hospice care  Prescription drugs  Durable medical equipment MEDICAID COVERS  Medicare Cost Sharing  Hospital and SNF (when Medicare benefits are exhausted)  Nursing home (custodial)  HCBS waiver services  Community behavioral health and substance use disorder services,  Medicare non-covered services, like OTC drugs, some DME and supplies, etc.

12 12 http://www.dmas.virginia.gov How will Medicare and Medicaid coordinate? CCC Plus requires each participating health plan to become a D-SNP as part of their plan offerings. D- SNP’s are Dual Eligible Special Needs Plans. D-SNP’s are Medicare Advantage Plans that include Part A, Part B, Part D and supplemental benefits. D-SNP’s operate under contracts with Medicare and Medicaid. Once D-SNP’s are operational, CCC Plus individuals will have the option to choose the same plan for Medicare and Medicaid coverage.

13 13 http://www.dmas.virginia.gov CCC Plus Populations Approximately 212,750 Individuals Duals (Full Medicaid) with and without LTSS Not CCC Enrolled 87,255 CCC Enrolled 26,866 will transition 1/2018 Non Duals with LTSS FFS 9,710 Medallion 3.0 HAP* 9,411 Non Dual /Non LTSS aged, blind or disabled Individuals 79,504 FFS Aged, Blind, Disabled (ABD) 2,939 Medallion 3.0 Aged, Blind, Disabled (ABD) 76,565 will transition 1/2018 Approximations based upon March 2016 MMIS Data 19,121114,121 *HAP - http://www.dmas.virginia.gov/Content_pgs/mc-home.aspxhttp://www.dmas.virginia.gov/Content_pgs/mc-home.aspx

18 18 http://www.dmas.virginia.gov CCC Plus Builds on CCC Lessons Learned  CCC allows Virginia the unique opportunity to integrate care for individuals who receive both Medicare and Medicaid, with the primary goal to improve health outcomes through coordinated care.  Virginia is fully committed to maintaining a robust CCC program through the end of the Demonstration.  CCC lessons learned will continue to inform the CCC Plus implementation going forward: o Value of provider and member outreach and education o Value of transparent/collaborative engagement with plans and CMS o Value of engaging stakeholders throughout the design, development, and implementation process

19 19 http://www.dmas.virginia.gov CCC Plus Incorporates CCC Best Practices High quality care in the least restrictive and most integrated treatment setting Integrated person-centered model focused on individual needs and preferences Care coordination and health risk assessments for all members Member assistance through DARS (VICAP, long-term care ombudsman) Behavioral health homes that integrate behavioral and physical health services

20 20 http://www.dmas.virginia.gov CCC Plus Enrollee Benefits Person centered, individualized support plan Same standard Medicaid services provided Choice between at least 2 health plans Care coordinator for each individual Team of health care professionals working together Assistance with needs related to housing, food and community Possible additional benefits offered by health plans

21 21 http://www.dmas.virginia.gov CCC Plus Enrollment Enrollment Broker: Maximus Neutral third party Broker will assist in determining which providers are contracted with specific health plans. Broker will answer questions about additional benefits offered by participating health plans. Enrollment begins approximately 45 days prior to effective date.

22 22 http://www.dmas.virginia.gov Health Plan Assignment Enrollees will receive an Initial Notice letter with an initial assignment into a health plan (Managed Care Organization or MCO) and a comparison chart of all the MCOs in their region. Enrollees can change their MCO by calling the enrollment broker Maximus by the “call by date” in their Initial Notice letter. “Call by dates” will be on or before the 18 th of the month prior to the MCO effective date. A “Confirmation Notice” will be mailed to the member confirming MCO final assignment Enrollees have 90 days from the Confirmation Notice to change final MCO assignment through Maximus. Beginning in 2018, a 60 day open enrollment period will occur in October – December.

23 23 http://www.dmas.virginia.gov Intelligent Assignment Initial assignment is based upon the members region Factors taken into consideration to being assigned to a particular MCO include: 2-month re-enrollment process or previously enrolled Medicare Managed care plan (MAC Id). 2-month previous Medicaid managed care enrollment (i.e., CCC+, Medallion 3.0 or CCC) Nursing Facility Waiver or EDCD Waiver or Tech Waiver (if there are more than one MCO’s participating with member’s providers within that region, members will be randomly assigned) If the member has no considerations listed above, members will be randomly assigned to the MCO’s within their region

24 24 http://www.dmas.virginia.gov Enrollee Protections During the continuity of care period of 90 days, MCOs have to pay existing providers MCO must go out of network to provide a service that they don’t have in network Members in Nursing Facility (NF) at the time of enrollment will not be moved even if the NF doesn’t choose to participate. NF will be paid as an out of network provider

25 25 http://www.dmas.virginia.gov CCC+ Provider Benefits Medicaid rates are the floor for NF, waivers, early intervention and behavioral health services Value based payment opportunities Enrollee periodic health risk assessments enhance care planning Care coordinator fosters communication among an interdisciplinary care team Care coordinator assists with problem solving and connects enrollees to local resources

26 26 http://www.dmas.virginia.gov Provider Enrollment Providers need to contract with MCOs to serve the CCC+ population Contact provider relations department of MCOs to discuss joining an MCOs network DMAS requires MCOs to have NCQA accreditation Providers must meet NCQA standards and follow state and federal requirements Credentialing of providers by MCOs can take 90 – 120 days to complete.

27 27 http://www.dmas.virginia.gov Service Authorizations and Coverage MCOs must cover services that are covered in the Virginia Medicaid State Plan Do not have to adhere to service limits Can choose to require authorization for services even if DMAS doesn’t require it now Most MCOs use a portal for service authorizations
