1. Florida Medicaid Update July 2015 Evelyn Leadbetter, MPA HTH Network Services Manager

2. Continuity of Care Requirements A key goal of the Statewide Medicaid Managed Care (SMMC) program is ensuring that recipients experience continuity of care, meaning that recipients experience no break in services or care coordination while transitioning from one service delivery system to another, one health plan to another, or from one service provider to another. The following is a reminder of the protections that apply for any Medicaid recipient who changes health plans: Health care providers should not cancel appointments with current patients. Health plans must honor any ongoing treatment that was authorized or scheduled prior to the recipient’s enrollment into the new health plan for up to 60 days after the recipient enrolls in the plan. Providers will be paid. Providers should continue providing any services that were previously authorized, regardless of whether the provider is participating in the plan’s network. Plans must pay providers for previously authorized services for up to 60 days, and must pay non-network providers at the rate previously received for up to 30 days. Prescriptions will be honored. Plans must allow recipients to continue to receive their prescriptions through their current provider, for up to 60 days, until their prescriptions can be transferred to a provider in the plan’s network.

3. Continuity of Care Requirements How does Sunshine, Staywell and Prestige ensure that these terms of the state contract are met? Example: On June 20 th patient is covered under Sunshine State when their doctor orders a test at the hospital and the hospital receives preauthorization from Sunshine State for test on July 3 rd. Patient elects to move his coverage to Staywell on June 21 st and goes into effect on July 1. Who is responsible for paying the claim? AHCA states: Health plans must honor any ongoing treatment that was authorized or scheduled prior to the recipient’s enrollment into the new health plan for up to 60 days after the recipient enrolls in the plan.
