Services Highlighted in Yellow are newly added services. Virginia spent $1.7 million on SUD in FY 2015. SUD spending in FY 2015 was less than 1% of the total FFS BH spending ($789 million). Part of this reason of low utilization are the low rates. Majority of services are getting a rate increase, many up to 400%. FAMIS and GAP coverage does not include residential treatment.

Presentation Notes
In 2015 close to 70% of members were served in managed care. With the implementation of MLTSS, this will close to 90% served in managed care. To fully integrate physical and behavioral health services for individuals with SUD and expand access to the full continuum of services, DMAS plans to “carve in” non-traditional SUD services into Managed Care for members who are already enrolled in plans. The only service currently covered by managed care is inpatient detoxification. Non-traditional services that will be “carved in” include Residential Treatment, Opioid Treatment (medication and counseling component), Substance Abuse Day Treatment, Crisis Intervention, Intensive Outpatient Treatment, and Substance Abuse Case Management. Magellan will continue to cover these services for those Medicaid members who are enrolled in FFS Effective April 1, 2017 except for Peer Supports which will be effective July 1, 2017. Providers will need to become enrolled and credentialed with the managed care plans beginning 4/1/17. Majority of members are covered by managed care and most when the Managed Long Term Services and Supports (MLTSS) is implemented.

Main Levels of Care 1. Outpatient Counseling 2. Intensive Outpatient, Partial Hospitalization and WM 3. Residential Treatment continuum from medical model RTC/Inpatient Psych facility (3.7) to halfway house/group home (3.1) 4. Medically Managed Hospital Level of Care CMS is requiring an independent agent to complete the assessment for placement in RTC. MCOs and Magellan care coordinators will be the independent agent to review the provider assessment and request for residential treatment. Individuals have individualized treatment plan to receive person centered care and can transition between levels depending on their need.

ARTS Medical Necessity Criteria

At least one diagnosis from the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5) for Substance-Related and Addictive Disorders with the exception of tobacco-related disorders, caffeine use disorder or dependence, and non-substance-related addictive disorders Or be assessed to be at risk for developing substance use disorder for youth under the age

of twenty-one using the ASAM multidimensional assessment). Meet the severity and intensity of treatment requirements for each service level

defined by the most current version of the American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM) Treatment Criteria for Addictive, Substance-Related and Co-Occurring Conditions (Third Edition, 2013). Medical necessity for ASAM levels of care shall be based on the outcome of the member’s documented multidimensional assessment. Overview summary on pages 174-178 of the ASAM Manual).

Members younger than the age of 21 who do not meet the ASAM medical necessity criteria upon initial assessment, a second individualized review by a licensed physician shall be conducted to determine if the member needs medically necessary treatment under the Early Periodic Screening Diagnosis and Treatment (EPSDT) benefit described in Social Security Act § 1905(a) to correct or ameliorate defects and physical and mental illnesses and conditions, including SUD, discovered by the screening.

Presenter
Presentation Notes
MEDICAL NECESSITY CRITERIA   In order to receive reimbursement for ARTS services, the member shall be enrolled in Virginia Medicaid and shall meet the following medical necessity criteria as defined in 12VAC30-30-5050:   The member shall demonstrate at least one diagnosis from the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5) for Substance-Related and Addictive Disorders with the exception of tobacco-related disorders, caffeine use disorder or dependence, and non-substance-related addictive disorders; or be assessed to be at risk for developing substance use disorder (for youth under the age of twenty-one using the ASAM multidimensional assessment).   The member shall be assessed by a Credentialed Addiction Treatment Professional who will determine if he/she meets the severity and intensity of treatment requirements for each service level defined by the most current version of the American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM) Treatment Criteria for Addictive, Substance-Related and Co-Occurring Conditions (Third Edition, 2013).  Medical necessity for ASAM levels of care shall be based on the outcome of the member’s documented multidimensional assessment.  The following outpatient ASAM levels of care do not require a complete multidimensional assessment using the ASAM theoretical framework in order to determine medical necessity but do require an assessment and development of a documented individualized service plan (ISP) by a certified addiction treatment professional: Opioid Treatment Programs (OTP), Office Based Opioid Treatment (OBOT), Substance Use Outpatient Services (ASAM Level 1) and Substance Use Case Management.    For members younger than the age of 21 who do not meet the ASAM medical necessity criteria upon initial assessment, a second individualized review by a licensed physician shall be conducted to determine if the member needs medically necessary treatment under the Early Periodic Screening Diagnosis and Treatment (EPSDT) benefit described in Social Security Act § 1905(a) to correct or ameliorate defects and physical and mental illnesses and conditions, including SUD, discovered by the screening.   ARTS services shall be fully integrated with all physical health and behavioral health services for a complete continuum of care for all Medicaid members meeting the medical necessity criteria. DMAS contracted MCOs, MMPs and the BHSA shall apply the ASAM criteria to review and coordinate service needs when administering ARTS benefits. The MCOs, MMPs and the BHSA shall use an ARTS care coordinator (licensed behavioral health professional), a licensed physician or medical director employed by the MCO, MMP or BHSA to perform an independent assessment of all requests for ARTS residential treatment services (ASAM Levels 3.1, 3.3, 3.5, 3.7) and ARTS inpatient treatment services (ASAM Level 4.0). The length of treatment and service limits shall be determined by the ARTS care coordinator, a licensed physician or medical director employed by the BHSA, MMP or MCO who is applying the ASAM criteria.  

Co-Occurring Disorders

Members who are experiencing a co-occurring substance use and mental health disorder may experience greater impairments in functioning.

Providers shall be trained and practicing within the scope of their practice, in working with members with both substance use and mental health disorders should ensure both conditions are addressed in treatment. If not available, should be referred to an appropriate service provider with a

current signed consent and authorization to exchange/disclose personal health information

Both providers should collaborate to coordinate effective treatment. Persons with co-occurring psychiatric and substance abuse conditions,

providers are expected to integrate the treatment needs. There may be concurrent authorizations for psychiatric services and

substance abuse services if medical necessity criteria are met for the requested service.

Collaboration and coordination of care among all treating practitioners shall be documented.

Multidimensional Assessment

DMAS requires a multidimensional assessment which shall be completed and documented by a credentialed addiction treatment professional within the scope of their practice, as defined in 12VAC30-130-5020, for ASAM levels of care 2.1 through 4.0.

The multidimensional assessment shall be maintained in the member's medical record by the provider.

Medical necessity for all ASAM levels of care shall be determined based on the outcome of the member's multidimensional assessment.

The level of care determination, Individual Service Plan (ISP) and recovery strategies development shall be based upon this multidimensional assessment.

The multidimensional assessment as defined earlier in this Chapter, is a theoretical framework for this individualized, person-centered assessment that includes the following six dimensions:  Acute intoxication or withdrawal potential, or both; Biomedical conditions and complications; Emotional, behavioral, or cognitive conditions and complications; Readiness to change; Relapse, continued use, or continued problem potential; and Recovery/living environment.  The level of care determination, Individual Service Plan (ISP) and recovery strategies development shall be based upon this multidimensional assessment.   

ASAM AssessmentCriteria

Presenter
Presentation Notes
ASAM uses a multidimensional biopsychosocial assessment to guide service planning and treatment in all levels of care. These six dimensions represent different life areas that together impact the assessment, service delivery and level of care placement decisions. The six dimensions provide common language of holistic, biopsychosocial assessment and treatment across addiction treatment, mental health, physician health, mental health and incorporates spiritual issues in the recovery process. Indicates what types and intensity of withdrawal management services are needed. Indicates placement decisions to move to higher care with increased staffing to manage co-occurring psychiatric needs or to manage physical health complications Indicates placement in co-occurring capable or co-occurring enhanced programs also may indicate placement into a higher level of care to allow for more staff supervision and opportunities for counseling to address emotional status. Indicates the person may need extra structure and to remain in higher level of care or to be ready to attempt less structured settings to implement new choice patterns and to engage in less programmatic structure in their recovery. Co-occurring issues and relapse prevention issues indicate the continued placement in more structured programs until the individual has the coping mechanisms to manage triggers, impulsivity anger or other issues that may lead to relapse. The status of the individual indicates the need for a higher level of care or progression to try lower levels of care. Movement through the levels should be dynamic, risk can be managed and options for failure can be experienced with strategies in place. Safe living environment where peers and families do not use substances vs living in environment surrounded with substance users or others that enable use. The recovery environment again, indicates the level of care that is needed to ensure the patient has the skills needed to cope with his or her environment.

Clinical approach

73

• We believe effective clinical programs always begin with the individual. We believe in recovery; consumers should live and thrive in the community, with family and friends, engaging in gainful activity.

• We drive value for members and support recovery by increasing information flows, building care systems and measuring outcomes across behavioral health, medical, social and medication domains.

• Superior analytics, informed by local knowledge and reality, drive better decision-making and meaningful improvement in health status.

Utilization management

• For substance use, Beacon uses American Society of Addiction Medicine Levels of Care (ASAM LOCs) as its criteria for covered substance use benefits.

• Beacon uses its LOC criteria as guidelines, not absolute standards, and considers them in conjunction with other indications of a member’s needs, strengths and treatment history in determining the best placement for a member. Beacon’s LOC criteria are applied to determine appropriate care for all members. In general, members will be certified only if they meet the specific medical necessity criteria for a particular LOC. However, the individual’s needs and characteristics of the local service delivery system are taken into consideration.
