Key Reasons for NYS Medicaid Redesign, MMC & DSRIP Medicaid Spending Increases Overall Quality of Care – “Average” 20% Enrollees (1 million) w/ High Need/High Cost Reduce Avoidable Admissions Desired “Care Management for All” Hospital System Collapses & Consolidations System Transformation Clinical Improvements (Evidence-based) Integrated Care Delivery Shift to Quality Based Payments & Other Reforms Sources: Medicaid Redesign Team Update and Next Steps Presentation: Jason Helgerson, SDOH, July 2013; NYS BHO 2012 Reviews and Implementing Medicaid BH Reform in New York: Bob Meyers, SOMH, Sept NYS Health Home SPA for Individuals w/ Chronic Behavioral & Medical Health Conditions - SPA #
If managed care is the content for the future … What do Plans need to demonstrate/do: Improved Quality Reduce Health Disparities Create models to serve High Need/Cost Individuals Increase Outpatient Connectivity (PC, MH & SUD) Reduce Costs (e.g. ERs, Admits, LTC) Find/contract with Providers that: Provide integrated care (PC, MH & SUD) Can take risk Can share data Q: What do you have to offer to achieve these goals … and can you prove/show it (outcomes)?
Things needed by MMC & PPS/DSRIPs: Evidence-based Interventions for Chronic Conditions HIV/AIDS Serious Mental Illness Substance Use/Addictions Long-term Care Alternatives Social Determinants of Health Housing Stability & Food Security Job Training/Supported Employment Integrated Care (PC, MH & SA) Crisis Beds (hospital diversion) Proactive management of patients w/ higher risk scores Care transition models C-B Navigation Services C-B Ambulatory Detox/Rehab
