32
Reflections and Observations
• Pilot results need further study to look at why utilization increased during pilot; also to study long-term outcomes of individuals participating in Pilot who are still Care1st members
• Benefits derived from housing placement and case management
• Lessons learned about member population and placement– Helped build foundation for dually eligible demonstration– Created a commitment by both Care1st and Access to
Independence to continuing the collaboration
![Page 33: A Promising Collaboration Access to Independence and Care1st Health Plan San Diego, California October 14, 2015 11:30 – 12:45 PM Pacific Time.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649f4f5503460f94c71aea/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
33
Reflections and Observations• Most important outcomes:– (1) Intervention worked for those placed in
housing who remained a Care1st member at end of Pilot; and– (2) strong partnership between Care1st and
A2i, the Independent Living Center in San Diego County.

San Diego County
• Mandatory Medicaid managed care for SPDs since 2011-2012, dual eligibles included in 2014
• Is one of only two counties that offer a choice of several Medi-Cal managed care organizations (MCOs)
• In the Coordinated Care Initiative (CCI), so has mandatory long-term services and supports (MLTSS) integrated within mandatory Medi-Cal
![Page 36: A Promising Collaboration Access to Independence and Care1st Health Plan San Diego, California October 14, 2015 11:30 – 12:45 PM Pacific Time.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649f4f5503460f94c71aea/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Proposed Medicaid Managed Care Rule
• On July 1, CMS proposed its first major revision of Medicaid managed care since 2002
• Medicaid has grown, MCO delivery of Medicaid has substantially grown, and there is now significant MLTSS across the country
• The proposed rule attempts to regulate this new landscape
• Not final – 60 day comment period closed
![Page 37: A Promising Collaboration Access to Independence and Care1st Health Plan San Diego, California October 14, 2015 11:30 – 12:45 PM Pacific Time.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649f4f5503460f94c71aea/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Rule - MLTSS Principles
• The proposed rule incorporates existing 2013 Guidance from CMS that set out 10 MLTSS “Principles,” including the enhanced provision of home and community-based services in accordance with the Supreme Court’s Olmstead decision, and person-centered needs assessment and service planning
• 1st time definition of MLTSS – quite broad
![Page 38: A Promising Collaboration Access to Independence and Care1st Health Plan San Diego, California October 14, 2015 11:30 – 12:45 PM Pacific Time.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649f4f5503460f94c71aea/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Rule - Care Coordination
§ 438.208(b)(2) expands MCO coordination obligations by requiring:• Coordination between care settings and with
services provided outside of the MCO, including fee-for-service Medicaid benefits such as LTSS
• Potentially may set an additional standard to require community or social support services
![Page 39: A Promising Collaboration Access to Independence and Care1st Health Plan San Diego, California October 14, 2015 11:30 – 12:45 PM Pacific Time.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649f4f5503460f94c71aea/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Rule - Network Adequacy
• For the first time, the rule requires states to develop standards on the adequacy of Medicaid MCO provider networks, including LTSS providers when part of the MCO network (§ 438.68 (2))
• Currently time and distance standards when consumers travel to the LTSS provider, and other kinds of standards when LTSS providers travel to the consumer
• It is unclear how ADRC services would be categorized, or when they would be “sufficient”
• LTSS subcontractors – accountability and data
![Page 40: A Promising Collaboration Access to Independence and Care1st Health Plan San Diego, California October 14, 2015 11:30 – 12:45 PM Pacific Time.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649f4f5503460f94c71aea/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Rule - LTSS Provider Credentialing
• The proposed rule newly establishes a “credentialing” and “recredentialing requirement for the providers that enter MCO contracts or participation agreements, including LTSS, behavioral, and substance use disorder providers
• Big potential impact on community-based LTSS providers who work with Medicaid beneficiaries now and want to do so under managed care
![Page 41: A Promising Collaboration Access to Independence and Care1st Health Plan San Diego, California October 14, 2015 11:30 – 12:45 PM Pacific Time.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649f4f5503460f94c71aea/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
