1 Alliance for Health Reform Panel Briefing Doug Porter, Medicaid Director Director, Health Care Authority March 5, 2012

2 Update from the front line… States strongly commit to ensuring accurate payments and prevention of fraud, waste and abuse States must ensure all dedicated resources produce a positive return on investment States increasing in sophistication of data mining and deployment of technology Balancing maintenance of existing effort and meeting new requirements, including coordination with federal effort 2

3 $13.9 $20.2 m $8.3 m $9.3 m $6.9 m $5.1 m $3.2 m $2.0 m $0.1 m PRP assumed one-time historical overpayment recovery for Medicare/ Medicaid dual eligible clients $16.4 m $4.8 m __________________________________ STATE FISCAL YEAR __________________________________ PRP Savings Trend, SFY 2000-2011 $5.2 Washington State Results 3 Installed its second generation Fraud and Abuse Detection System – Highlights: enhanced algorithms and models, focus on managed care, ability to use external data sources for review New State-of-the-art MMIS introduced advanced edit/audit capabilities Taking advantage of Recovery Audit Contractors per ACA requirement Over $95 million recovered to date Change over to new ProviderOne and FAD Systems

4 State Concerns Preserving existing recovery rates while redeploying resources to coordinate with federal efforts that do not generate a positive ROI (recent OIG report on MIC audits state what states told CMS from the beginning – MSIS data wont work) States received $0 under the DRA or the ACA to enhance efforts or cover new costs States received lowest match rate for PI – where MFCUs received 75/25 match 4

5 Recommendations Federal efforts should do what states dont do – Interstate activity – Control access at the beginning through issuance of NPI as level one to provider enrollment – Cross reference federal data sets from Medicare, DEA, NPI for data mining (as states lack access) Stop or fix initiatives that dont work – PERM – Medi-Medi – MICs Support states through better funding (better match rate and allow states to apply for grants) 5

6 More Recommendations Beware of unintended consequences – example Small Business Jobs Act Enforce program integrity standards on the industry (as health care PI is larger than Medicare and Medicaid), but also on Medicaid managed care plans – ACA gave a pass to MCOs on enhanced provider screening requirements and the requirement that referring, ordering and prescribing providers be Medicaid enrolled (and screened) – State must implement RAC for FFS but may implement RAC for managed care – Have forethought about PI in the age of payment reform 6
