Department of Medical Assistance ServicesOverviewMedicaid Overview
Review of Medicaid Reforms : Phase 1
Implementation of a New Behavioral Health Services Administrator
Virginias Program: Commonwealth Coordinated Care
Future Reforms: Opportunities for Your Input
Virginia Medicaid: Enrollment v. Spending
The historical 30% of enrollment responsible for 70% of expenditures is true . But it is even more drastic than than that. The 7% of enrollment receiving long-term care services is responsible for almost 35% of expenditures.3Virginia Medicaid ExpendituresTop Expenditure Drivers:Enrollment Growth: Now provide coverage to over 400,000 more members than 10 years ago (80% increase)
Growth in the U.S. cost of health careGrowth in Specific Services: Significant growth in expenditures for Home & Community Based LTC services and Community Behavioral Health servicesNotes: Average annual growth FY02-FY12 = 8% FY11 expenditures reflect 13 capitation payments and 53 weekly remittances done to maximize federal match under ARRA4Composition of Virginia Medicaid Expenditures SFY 2012Notes: Long-Term Care ServicesMedicalServicesEnrollment Just shy of 1 million beneficiaries5Virginia Medicaid Expenditures Long Term Care ServicesNotes: Average annual growth total Long Term Care services 8%Average annual growth Institutional services 4%Average annual growth Community-Based services 14%Proportion of Long Term Care services paid through Community-Based care has increase from 30% in FY02 to 51% in FY12
Improve Service Delivery
Service delivery should be efficient, cost effective, and provide quality services.Improve Administration
DMAS should be accountable, streamlined, and transparent.Increase Beneficiary Engagement
Individuals should be engaged in, responsible for, and active participants in their health care.
Goals of Medicaid Reform Administrative SimplificationThe ability to set agreed upon parameters between Virginia and CMS in order to give Virginia expedited flexibility to implement innovative pilots and demonstrations
Streamlining operating authority of the Virginia Medicaid program through 1115 waiver authority Including all Medicaid populations (including individuals receiving long-term services and supports) into a managed, coordinated delivery system
CMS is very receptive to this reform effort.
Meaningful Market Based and Value Driven Reforms
Commercial-like Reform of the Virginia Medicaid Benefit PackageDelivery System Reforms Building on innovations and variations in regional delivery systems to test options beyond traditional health plans; andLeveraging tight, high quality, provider networks.
Payment and Reimbursement Reforms Bundling payments for select services and procedures; Linking incentives to increased primary care utilization and quality metrics; and Using the Commonwealths broad purchasing power to align state contracts: state employee health plan, QHP with the exchange, Medicaid, FAMIS, etc.
7Working with CMS to Implement Reforms in VirginiaKey CMS Approvals/SupportMedicare-Medicaid Enrollee (dual eligible) Financial AlignmentSignificant Reforms to the Managed Care Organization ContractsFast Tracking Reviews of Eligibility and Enrollment ChangesAdditional Required Medicaid Reforms
Two Key Questions:What Reforms Can be Implemented with the Existing Medicaid Population under Current Authority? What Reforms Can be Implemented with the Existing Medicaid Population that Require Additional CMS Authority or Waivers? (e.g., Bed Hold Days for congregate residential placements)
Virginia Must Implement Medicaid Reform in Three PhasesPhase 1: Advancing Current Reforms
Dual Eligible DemonstrationEnhanced Program IntegrityFoster CareNew Eligibility and Enrollment SystemBehavioral Health Veterans
Virginias Dual Eligible Demonstration: Commonwealth Coordinated CareDemonstration beginning January 1, 2014 and running through December 31, 2017Will provide high-quality, person-centered care for Medicare-Medicaid beneficiaries that is focused on their needs and preferences Blends Medicares and Medicaids services and financing to streamline care and eliminate cost shifting
Who Pays for Services in Virginia? MEDICAREHospital carePhysician & ancillary servicesSkilled nursing facility (SNF) care (up to 100 days)Home health careHospicePrescription drugsDurable medical equipmentMEDICAIDNursing facility (once Medicare benefits exhausted)Home- and community-based services (HCBS)Hospital once Medicare benefits exhaustedOptional services: personal care, select home health care, rehabilitative services, some behavioral healthSome prescription drugs not covered by MedicareDurable medical equipment not covered by Medicare
12The Problem for the U.S. & VirginiaMedicare and Medicaid are not designed to work together resulting in an inefficient, more costly delivery system
At the national level, we are spending 39% of Medicaid funds on 15% of the Medicaid population
Individuals and providers have to navigate two complex systems of support
The Solution: Commonwealth Coordinated CareProvides high-quality, person-centered care for Medicare-Medicaid enrollees that is focused on their needs and preferences
Blends Medicares and Medicaids services and financing to streamline care and eliminate cost shifting
Creates one accountable entity to coordinate delivery of primary, preventive, acute, behavioral, and long-term services and supportsPromotes the use of home- and community-based behavioral and long-term services and supportsSupports improved transitions between acute and long-term facilities
Commonwealth Coordinated CareWho is Eligible?Full benefit Medicare-Medicaid Enrollees including but not limited to: Participants in the Elderly and Disabled with Consumer Direction Waiver; andResidents of nursing facilities

Who is Not Eligible?Individuals not eligible include those in:The ID, DD, Day Support, Alzheimer's Technology Assisted HCBS WaiversMH/ID facilitiesICF/IDsPACE (although they can opt in)Long Stay HospitalsThe Money Follows the Person (MFP) program
Virginias Strategies to Address Needs Enhanced Care ManagementDMAS working with Stakeholders to design care management, including expectations, levels of care management, how to best manage care for subpopulations (e.g., chronic conditions, dementia, behavioral health needs, etc.), how to structure transition programs in hospitals and NFsBehavioral Health Homes for individuals with SMI with MCOs partnering with the CSBs (Could also be ID)Encouraging MCOs to link/sub-contract with different providers for care coordination (e.g., CSBs, adult day care centers, NFs)
Virginias Strategies to Address NeedsDevelop strong consumer protections (e.g., external ombudsman, grievances and appeals)Ensure individuals only have to make one call to receive all their Medicaid and Medicare funded services 24/7 help linesProvide access to disease & chronic care management services that could improve overall health conditions and/or slow down declineDevelop strong quality improvement programs, measures and monitoringUse existing community systems to strengthen services and supportsRate Development; method for applying savings adjustments

Development of the three-way contract between CMS, Virginia and the health plans
Continued outreach and education to all stakeholders
