Continuing Issues for AAAs in ICDS Firewall protections between the Front Door and Care Management/waiver service coordination Rates Enrollment process (transition) Interaction with 2 or 3 Plans and continued administration of Medicaid waiver programs for non-duals and those that are presumptively enrolled in Medicaid (before final Medicaid determination) Evaluation

Budget Advocacy for Aging Issues Keeping the front door open, Restoring funds to rebalance Medicaid

Budget Priorities Restore the 10% cuts ($3.6 million) for PASSPORT screening and assessment Increase all PASSPORT provider rates by 3% Permit individual care plans that fully support nursing home transition and diversion Ensure all seniors have access to life-enhancing services no matter where they live both inside and outside the Integrated Care Delivery System Fully fund Adult Protective Services across the state ($11 million) Fund the Balancing Incentive Payment Program ($10 million

1. Restore front door funding PASSPORT assessors are the front door to link older adults to cost-effective in-home and community programs PASSPORT enrollment has stalled since July 2011 when 10% cuts to front door funding went into effect, forcing AAAs to lay off screeners and assessors HB 59 proposes only fractional increases to front door funding Not only is PASSPORT cost-effective, it also has 99.3% consumer satisfaction rate statewide

2. Restore provider rates While rates for assisted living and adult day care services are increasing, all other PASSPORT providers are flat-funded after sustaining a 3% cut from the last budget Providers who have earned a Medicare-Medicaid certification get a higher Medicaid reimbursement rate than PASSPORT’s and thus many of them choose not to provide the PASSPORT service ALL provider rates need to be restored to ensure that seniors receive quality services without delay

o4a amendment o4a has submitted an amendment to the legislature that would restore front door funding and increase PASSPORT provider rates AAA representatives continue to follow-up with local representatives, especially those of the House Finance & Appropriations Committee Time to move to the Senate finance committee

Budget Advocacy: House Substitute Bill Good News: ½ of the request for increases in PASSPORT provider rates and PASSPORT front door activities are in the bill ($6 million) Bad news: Only ½ of the funding is included… Funds for the Balancing Incentive payment Program were removed MEDICAID EXPANSION WAS REMOVED

3. Fund senior care plans Lower care plan ceilings arbitrarily limit access to necessary services The previous budget reduced the amount AAAs can spend on an individual’s care plan, from an average of $1,147 in FY 2012 to $1,060 in FY 2013 Lower care plan ceilings have lowered the quality of life for many older Ohioans Prescribed services are necessary to avoid or delay nursing home placement

4. Treat seniors equally Rural Ohioans should benefit from the same enhanced services being made available in the ICDS counties The Integrated Care Delivery System (ICDS) will offer an array of new home care services, but only seniors living in 29 predominantly urban and suburban counties are included in the ICDS The state is essentially creating two separate but unequal long-term care systems—one for poor communities and a better one for metropolitan areas Level of service shouldn’t be determined by where you live, but by your needs

5. Fully fund Adult Protective Services 39 counties do not have enough funding to have full-time adult protective workers Older Ohioans deserve protection from abuse, neglect, and exploitation o4a has testified in support of the Ohio Elder Justice Act This bill would expand the definition of “elder abuse” to include financial harm and make permanent the Elder Abuse Commission, among other provisions that strengthen Adult Protective Services Law

Extend Medicaid Eligibility Medicaid expansion makes Ohio stronger by improving the health outcomes of more people of all ages o4a estimates that not extending Medicaid eligibility would force $30 million in cuts to PASSPORT and other aging services over two years If such drastic cuts take effect, older Ohioans might have to go to expensive nursing facilities or be left on their own
