Description of the Provider Networks Area 6 –HMOs primarily use the 5 main Community Mental Health Centers in the area All Fee-For-Service in the beginning –Shifted to capitation over time, but some Fee-For-Service still present –PMHP uses the same 5 Community Mental Health Centers - stable structure over time Use risk adjusted capitation to Community Mental Health Centers

Implementation of Managed Care Has Not Resulted in Improved Access to Services
15
Average 6-Month Penetration for Carve-Out Services: Areas 1, 2, and 4 Case Mix Adjusted
16
Average Annual Penetration for Carve-Out Services Only: Areas 6, 4 and 7 Case Mix Adjusted
17
People with Schizophrenia enrolled in HMOs, which are at risk for pharmaceutical expenses, are less likely to receive atypical antipsychotic medications
18
Atypical Penetration Areas 4 & 6 Adult Schizophrenia Diagnosis Only
19
Enrollees are Receiving Fewer Services or Less Intensive Services in the Managed Care Conditions HMO Enrollees Receive Fewer Services than Persons in the PMHP

Reduced Intensity of Services has Generally Not Been Associated with Poorer Outcomes for Managed Care Enrollees Youth in Area 1 Require Further Study to Explain Poor Outcomes

Change in Predicted GAF Score Over Time For Ages 21-64 in Areas 1, 2, and 4 (n=5,278) Financing Conditions differ p <.001 Time p <.001; Interaction - NS
24
Based on Our Social Cost Analysis, Reduced Intensity of Services for Medicaid- Funded Services May be Offset by Higher Expenditures by Other Payers

Service and Organizational Recommendations
27
Service Recommendations Set Access Targets for Carve-Out Services at Pre-Implementation Levels at a Minimum in All Areas Assure that the Service Network is Adequate to Provide Services to Persons with More Severe Illnesses
28
Service Recommendations Assure Provision of Evidence Based Care for both Treatment and Rehabilitation –Fidelity Measurement –Benchmarked Outcome Data Explore Methods to Appropriately Expand Consumer Knowledge about and Direction of Care –Particularly for Persons with More Chronic Care Needs
29
Organizational Recommendations Implement Strategies to Independently Assure Adequacy of Data for System Monitoring –Anticipate the Loss of Outcome Data for Networks Like those Used in Area 1 HMO –Investigate Methods for Independently Collecting Encounter Data Including Sources of Care from Other Public and Private Payers
30
Organizational Recommendations Assure Readiness to Provide Comprehensive Mental Health Benefits –Demonstrated Capacity in MIS –Demonstrated Management Capacity for Authorization and Payment –Adequate Transition Strategies and Ramp-up Time
31
Organizational Recommendations AHCA Should Develop, Test and Implement a Method to Assure Compliance with the 80% Rule –Incomplete Encounter Data Frustrates Adequate Monitoring Consider Expanding Range of Carve-Out Services to Limit Cost Shifting within Medicaid Budgets –Carefully Monitor Access to Specialized Services for Managed Care Enrollees –Exclude Pharmacy Benefit and Explore other Methods to Control Pharmacy Costs –Include Substance Abuse Services with Adequate Capitation Rate
32
Organizational Recommendations Coordinate Efforts with DCF and Other Relevant Providers (Child Welfare, JJ, etc.) to –Reduce Cost Shifting Among Public Payers –Assure Most Effective and Efficient Delivery Strategies

35
Managed Care Arrangements, Particularly in the HMO Condition, have been Accompanied by Consistent and Significant Problems with Encounter Data - Frustrating Accountability
36
If Managed Care is to Accomplish its Goal of Giving More to the State through Greater Efficiency and Effectiveness of Management, We Must Get More from Managed Care
