Health Home Implementation Update Session 4 August 29, 2012
Health Home Implementation • AGENDA • Implementation Updates • Status of Health Home/MCP Contracts • Billing Review/News
Implementation Updates • DOH has answered CMS questions on Phase II and Phase III State Plan Amendments (SPAs) • Enrollment/billing of new members in Phases II and III cannot proceed until SPAs are approved. • However, members in converting TCM programs in Phase II counties should be collected by Health Homes and submitted to DOH through the Member Tracking System. At this time, Phase III members should not be submitted to DOH.
Implementation Updates • Phase III designation letters are on the way. In the meantime, newly designated Health Homes can: • Ensure Health Commerce System (HCS) access • Prepare updated network partner lists • Enter into contract negotiations • Health Home designations still pending for several counties (Albany, Otsego, Schoharie, Delaware and Chenango)
Managed Care and Health Home Contracting Two types of Agreements: • Plan specific template or “Approved Agreement” • Must include Key Provisions • Can be used to negotiate a mutually acceptable contract with Health Homes • These are Administrative Services Agreements, not a Provider Agreement – provider agreement language (e.g., credentialing requirements) and/or appendices should not be included • Standard Agreement • Basic contract that includes the Key Provisions • Must be used as is with no modifications, or if modified, must be submitted by Plan and becomes an “Approved Agreement” All agreements must be submitted for review and approval to DOH Bureau of Managed Care

Billing Review • TCM agencies bill eMEDNY directly for ALL members. This includes FFS and MC members, for legacy slots and Health Home slots. • TCM agencies bill existing members for active enrollment, even if they have not yet signed the Health Home consent form.
Converting programs in Phase I can bill prospectively for members in converting programs using program-specific (OMH TCM, COBRA, MATS, CIDP) Health Home rates. Converting programs cannot bill the New Health Home rates (1386/1387) until they receive notice that the rates have been loaded onto their rate file • New Health Home rates for converting programs will be based on a programs (TCM/COBRA/CIDP) average acuity rather than a provider specific acuity, due to low volume of submitted records. Effective 10/1/12, all rates will be calculated using member level acuity scores • Joint OMH/DOH letter to OMH and COBRA TCM providers re: TCM regulations no longer apply once Health Home services are billed- will be emailed/posted shortly Billing News
