Managing Care of Medicaid Recipients
Recipients are enrolled in Carolina Access II at the Department of Social Services
Recipients select a Carolina Access II primary care/medical home provider
Claims data/utilization data helps identify recipients with chronic illnesses and other health conditions that need professional intervention and management

Medicaid)
Total Medicaid Expenditures - $13.6 Billion Total State Requirements - $3.46 Billion
Federal Medical Assistance Participation Rate (FMAP) for 2014 is 63%
State Share is 26% Other share is 11% (ex. drug rebates)

Mostly a Fee for Service Delivery System Medicaid pays the providers a fee for service
(FFS) based on rates set by the Division of Medical Assistance Note: The LME/MCO’s get a per member per month
payment and then they pay their providers according to a contractual arrangement
Note: Program for All – Inclusive Care for the Elderly – pmpm per enrollee from Medicaid and Medicare (managed care)

North Carolina Medicaid Spending Trends
Appropriations County ARRAShortfall Receipts Supplemental Payments
From: NC General Assembly – Fiscal Research DivisionBudget Shortfall
Rate of Spending for NC Medicaid Claims is Low
Nationally, NC leads the country in controlling the growth in Medicaid claims spending.
Total Medicaid claims spending in NC has seen only a modest rate of growth (2.3%) since FY 2008 – lower than the 4.5% annual growth rate in enrollment.
Since 2008, Medicaid is serving more people at a lower cost per person.
But, more can be done to improve outcomes and quality while keeping costs low.

2 Pilot Projects that Reduce Medicaid Expenditures
Place logohereED Pilot Project
Focusing on “Frequent Flyers” to the ED ED visits for non-urgent reasons 178 Patients had 2882 visits (non-urgent)
to the ED within a 12-month period (June 2012-July 2013) – average of 16 visits per patient
Using an average cost of $350 per visit times 2882 visits = $1,008,700 cost to Medicaid
38
Place logohereED Pilot
Starting with the top Frequent Flyers – average ED visits to the ED
36 times per patient CHP Nurse Care Manager with Behavioral
Health experience performs intensive interventions with the targeted patients
Early Pilot Results: ED utilization for the targeted patients reduced by 30%

ED Pilot: Medicaid Cost Savings Potential for savings to the State
Assume .43% of the enrolled CCNC Population are frequent flyers (178 patients in Gaston and Lincoln Counties is .43% of the CCNC enrolled population of 41,000 patients)
That would tell us that 5590 Medicaid and CCNC enrollees are heavy users of the ED for non-urgent reasons (over 16 visits per year)
Using the $350 as a low per visit cost to Medicaid, these 5590 patients are costing $31,304,000 per year in ED expenditures THAT COULD BE AVOIDED
A 30% reduction would mean a reduction in ED expenditures by $9,391,200 per year. The net savings would be in the range of $7.3 million per year.

Medical Necessity ReviewsPilot Medicaid pays for medically necessary services
including personal care services and high-cost durable medical equipment (power wheelchairs) Service providers and patients make request for services
The physicians/practitioners sign a form documenting the medical need for the service Lack of knowledge of the Medicaid criteria; home situation of
the patients Once medical attestation form is signed – patients have right
to appeal
43
Place logohere
Medical Necessity Reviews Pilot For the pilot program, the Medical Necessity
Review Nurse gets the referral form before the doctor signs for the service
The MNR Nurse conducts a home visit to determine if the patient has a medical need for the service; determines if a lower-cost service can be an alternative to more costly services; determines if patient has other service needs
Makes a recommendation to the doctor/practitioner about meeting the medical criteria

Medicaid criteria for PCS established by Medicaid clinical policy
86% of the 313 referrals for PCS- patients did not meet the Medicaid criteria for the service
45
PCS is not a house-
cleaning service
Place logohere
Medical Necessity Reviews Pilot Cost of an hour of PCS is $13.88
If Personal Care Services are delivered three days per week for three hours per day for one year, Medicaid costs would be $6500 for one patient
300 patients would cost Medicaid about $2 million per year – average length of stay in the service is 4 years
2008 data: there were 51,000 patients on PCS at a total cost of $318 million
A 15% reduction in the program statewide would reap a savings of
• $47 million annually
46
Place logohereMedical Necessity Reviews
A pilot project with 4 networks – not statewide PCS – many need the service but there is too
much room for abuse DMA has implemented several measures to
control the program but more needs to be done Change in Medicaid policies and processes are
fraught with complications – delays in state and federal approvals--policy changes take time to go through a process
