Medicaid and Managed Care: Missouri and a National Perspective

• Where Medicaid is now and how it got here – the trends driving the program across states:

– Growth in health costs, insurance premiums, health insurance coverage, the uninsured

• Medicaid enrollment and spending growth, before and after the ACA.

• State strategies for controlling spending.

– Why the big Medicaid story of 2015 is delivery and payment system reforms

– Why states increasingly rely on MCOs.

“Medicaid coverage is …

“… extremely valuable to the low-income families and individuals who qualify for the services provided by the program.”

“… valuable to society at large, as it enables the least-fortunate members of the population to obtain the health care they need in an orderly way.”

– CMS, Actuarial Report on the Financial Outlook for Medicaid, 2014.

Page 4: Medicaid and Managed Care: Missouri and a National Perspective · 20% 25% All States Decrease of 43% States Expanding Medicaid Decrease of 53% States Not Expanding Medicaid Decrease

The Value and Impact of Medicaid Is Shown in Many Studies

– Benefits medical providers, especially safety net hospitals and community health centers

– Lowers cost of health insurance for business

– Adds economic activity and jobs

– Saves state general funds in mental health, others

– Operates efficiently, very low administrative costs

How Are States Responding to Need to Control Medicaid Spending?

• A Focus on Improving Quality, Controlling Costs and Increasing Value

– Focus on high-need, high cost populations, including persons with chronic conditions, disabilities, in LTC and on both Medicaid and Medicare (dual eligibles)

– Quality improvement: strengthening contract requirements for health plans, pay-for-performance, special initiatives e.g., on non-emergency ER use.

– Cost savings through managed care, delivery system and payment reforms, payment restrictions.

Missouri Medicaid Has Used Several Strategies to Improve Care, Control Cost

Cost and enrollment growth are well below national trends

– Controls on benefits and eligibility

– Focus on program integrity

– National model for Health Homes

– Increasing use of managed care, with new contract requirements for MCOs and patient incentives

28

Page 30: Medicaid and Managed Care: Missouri and a National Perspective · 20% 25% All States Decrease of 43% States Expanding Medicaid Decrease of 53% States Not Expanding Medicaid Decrease

Nationally, Delivery System and Payment Reforms are a Priority for Medicaid in 2015

– Focus on improving care, cost and outcomes for high-need, high cost populations

• Managed care, care management, coordinated and integrated care, often using State Innovation Model (SIM) grants or Delivery System Reform Incentive Payment (DSRIP) waivers.

• Payers are strengthening contractual requirements for health plans, with Pay-for-Performance, withhold incentives based on performance, auto – assignment algorithms, other initiatives, e.g., non-emergency ER use.
