Actively building expanded network to function as MCO vs MHN • Target Date for Transition: 12/1/13 • Current # of Members – 150,631* • As of April, 2013
Program Approach: • Support Primary Care Providers – Keep them in the “driver’s seat” • Deliver services to Members in a way that extends/expands Provider’s reach • Focus on Quality and Comprehensive Care Management • Be good partners to the Providers • Invest in Providers/Community events rather than advertising
Activities to “Get Ready for Change” • Negotiating and Signing Contracts with all types of providers • Engaged Several Experienced Network Development Professionals to help with network build • Reviewing and updating all Policies & Procedures in preparation for Readiness Review by Carolinas Center for Medical Excellence • Revising all plans and documents to ensure compliance with MCO regulations
Additional Activities for Readiness: • Revising brochures and fliers for Members on program changes • Developing notification letters for SCS Members on program changes when conversion to MCO takes place; anticipate these being sent from SCDHHS end of September; this will especially affect Dual Eligibles & Waiver participants who will be returned to Fee-for-Service • Redesigned www.sc-solutions.org website • Member Provider Services will assist with MHN needs as well as MCO questions/concerns
And More Activities for Working through the change in model: • Expanding the Committee Structure required for MCO functions, such as P&T, Credentialing, Peer Review, and Program Advisory • Educating Call Center Staff and Provider Relations Representatives on changes in program model so all will continue to be able to meet Member and Provider needs
