Shifting Picture on Hospice Originally Hospice services would be paid
directly by plans It appears that plans may only pay 95%
and the remaining 5% paid by Hospices Also at the meeting, Buckeye intend to
pay the hospice instead of the SNF. Molina Healthcare will do the same, at least temporarily, until they complete an addendum to their SNF contracts for room and board payment.

Bed Hold Under MyCare Ohio MyCare Ohio includes coverage for bed hold
days. Days and the payment rate are the same Medicaid provides plans with the list of the
SNFs that qualify for the 50% or the 18%. health plans (United, Buckeye, Molina) expect
to require prior authorization for hold days Authorization for the hospitalization or
therapeutic leave being the first part and authorization for the bed hold being the second part???

Prior Authorization for Beneficiaries Already in a Center Plans all have clarified that prior
authorization will not be needed for any beneficiary who already is in a skilled nursing or assisted living center when enrolled in MyCare.
Plans still will need to collect from the SNF the date of admission for each of their member patients.
