Focus on outcomes for members and families. • Flexibility- understanding of the unique needs of each State; customized clinical and provider initiatives that address service gaps. • Dynamic Service Array – Track record expanding and enhancing local service delivery systems to focus on community-based programs, peer support, wraparound services and services that promote recovery goals. • Partnership – Collaborative program design and oversight models that engage consumers, family members, providers and other stakeholders in the decision-making process. • Integration – Coordinated approach to physical and behavioral health, including holistic treatment planning and medication management.
Experience with ACO-Like Models • Key elements in behavioral health approach to ACOs/Health Homes: • Experience working with persons with SMI; assisting individuals to manage their behavioral health symptoms • Experience coordinating and managing the care of persons with a mental health or both mental health and substance abuse diagnosis; and physical health/medical diagnosis • Co-location of behavioral health teams with health plans or MCOs • Data sharing within and across systems to create recipient profiles • Partnering with State customers utilizing Section 2703 of the PPACA: • A state may amend its Medicaid plan to provide for medical assistance to individuals with chronic health conditions who select a provider or health team as the individual's "health home" for the provision of home health services. • During the first two years that the State Medicaid Plan amendment is in effect, the federal medical assistance percentage or "FMAP" (the federal government's share of a State's expenditures for Medicaid) is 90%.
Examples of ACO-Like Models • Maricopa County, Arizona: • Global payments to Provider Network Organizations (PNOs) who are accountable for individual and program outcomes: • Publicly-available on-line ‘dashboards’ promote PNO transparency and accountability • Florida: • Sub-capitated payments for outpatient care provided to enrollees in the Prepaid Mental Health Plan (PMHP)
