9 Understanding the Medicaid Program NYS Medicaid Home & Community Based Services (HCBS) Waiver State Plan
10 Waiver vs. State Plan HCBS Waiver State Plan • Allows States to waive certain Medicaid program requirements • Can be ‘targeted” -- Not available to all Medicaid individuals • Time limited - Must be renewed • Capped number of recipients • Services must be available to all eligible Medicaid enrollees • Do not expire • No cap on the number of recipients
11 CFCO State Plan What is CFCO? CFCO Service Delivery Description • • CFCO is an optional State Plan authority allowing States to offer home and community-based services to eligible • Medicaid enrollees • Expands access to attendant services and supports to help with everyday activities • Becomes available Jan. 1, 2020 CFCO Eligibility CFCO in Managed Care Many CFCO Services are already included in the Consumer controlled, Available to individuals managed care benefit personal assistance who fulfill all of the package offered to eligible services/ supports for following criteria: enrollees: Activities of Daily o Eligible for o Consumer Living (ADLs) and Medicaid with Directed Instrumental Activities “regular rules” Personal of Daily Living (IADLs) o Have an Assistance and health-related institutional level o Home Health tasks of care as Aide determined by No “Budget Authority” o Homemaker/Ho the functional usekeeper Services must be assessment (Personal Care provided to all used by that Level 1) Medicaid-eligible population o Personal Care populations (DOH, o Are living in their Level 2 OMH, and OPWDD) own home or a o Personal family member’s Provided in the Emergency home community Response System

13 How Will CFCO Operate? Two Different Approaches: People enrolled in the Waiver & in Fee-For-Service People enrolled in the Waiver & in Managed Care
14 Eligibility: CFCO vs. Waiver If I meet CFCO eligibility I receive… I receive Community Habilitation today: If I do not meet CFCO eligibility or I Self-direct with Budget Authority, I receive… Skills Acquisition Maintenance & Enhancement (SAME) Under CFCO Community Habilitation under the HCBS Waiver
15 What Differs: Who Authorizes CFCO Services? For Overlapping CFCO Services for People with I/DD enrolled in Fee-For. Service (FFS) Other Services for all CFCO eligible people enrolled in FFS All CFCO Services for Anyone Enrolled in Managed Care • OPWDD • Local Department of Social Services (LDSS) • Managed Care Plan
16 Service & Planning Process Doesn’t Change Community Habilitation Delivered by OPWDD Certified Agency Skills Acquisition, Maintenance & Enhancement (SAME) Delivered by OPWDD Certified Agency Derived from at least one “My Goals/Valued Outcome” identified in the individual’s Life Plan A Staff Action Plan describe how staff will support achievement of the Goals/Valued Outcome Staff deliver and document services in accordance with the Staff Action Plan Every six months, the Staff Action Plan is reviewed – what is achieved – any needed changes
17 Consistent Service Authorization • OPWDD stakeholders have requested greater consistency across the state in the process for authorizing services • Consistency ensures: • The same process for all individuals, and • CFCO services that overlap with OPWDD services will be authorized appropriately by Managed Care Plans
18 Service Authorization Guidance • Will describe the most appropriate service levels for different sub-groups of individuals - based on age, living situation and individuals’ needs • Recommended levels of service can be exceeded with clinical justification • Each person’s authorization is still individually tailored to meet his/her need
19 The Community Habilitation (CH) Service • OPWDD is analyzing CH service data to understand how CH is being used today • CH is a skill-building service, not to be used solely for supervision and assistance with ADLs, IADLs, safety, etc. • If analysis indicates a need for an additional service type, OPWDD will explore options for enhancing the service array, via a waiver amendment process
