Illinois: Care Coordination and Healthcare Reform By Region

ILLINOIS: CARE COORDINATION
AND HEALTHCARE REFORM
Illinois Department of
Healthcare and Family Services
August 2014
Medicaid Reform Law
The Medicaid reform law [PA 96-1501],
requires that by January 1, 2015, at
least 50 percent of the individuals
covered under Medicaid be enrolled in a
care coordination program that organize
care around their medical needs.
Care coordination
is the centerpiece of Illinois’
Medicaid reform. It’s aligned
with Illinois’ Medicaid reform
law and the federal Affordable
Care Act
What HFS is doing
to implement care coordination


Initially focus on the most complex, expensive clients
Take an ‘integrated’ approach to care



Bringing together local primary care providers (PCPs),
specialists, hospitals, nursing homes, behavioral health and
other providers to organize care around a patient’s needs.
Measure quality and health outcomes
Continue to work closely with stakeholders and
sister agencies on the most effective way to bring
this new healthcare delivery system to Illinois
WHAT EXISTS NOW
Current HFS Managed Care
Programs
Current Programs –
Primary Care Case Management (PCCM)

Called Illinois Health Connect (IHC)

Became fully operational in November 2007




A mandatory program; eligible enrollees may opt out of IHC if
enrolling in a managed care plan
Operates statewide for most individuals covered by an HFS
Medicaid Program
1.7 million IHC clients have a medical home through a PCP.
The PCP makes referrals to specialists for additional care or
tests as needed
* PCCM is NOT an MCO. It is a FFS model that includes care
coordination
Current Programs –
Integrated Care Program (ICP)





HFS implemented the first Integrated Care Program
(ICP) on May 1, 2011
For seniors and persons with disabilities (SPD) who
have Medicaid, but not Medicare (cannot be a ‘dual’)
Mandatory program for SPD 19 and over
Enrollment occurs through client enrollment broker
Individuals have at least two plans to choose from
ICP –Geography and Timeline


Greater Chicago Region – began 5-1-11,
expanded to include City of Chicago 3-1-14
Rockford Region – began 7-1-13
 Central Illinois Region – began 9-1-13
 Metro East Region – began 9-1-13

ICP –MCOs and MCCNs


How are MCOs and MCCNs different?

MCOs are licensed Health Maintenance Organizations (HMOs) by the
Dept of Insurance

MCCNs are provider‐owned and governed entities that operate like
MCOs, but are certified by HFS rather than Dept of Insurance
How are MCOs and MCCNs the same?



MCOs and MCCNs both operate on a full‐risk capitated basis
HFS eligibility systems look identical for both MCOs and MCCNs
To the member, the enrollment process is the same and so is the level of
benefits provided
ICP Care Coordination Entities (CCEs)



Care Coordination Entities are provider based networks that
offer care coordination to clients
Clients remain Fee-For-Service
HFS contracts with several of CCEs to serve the ICP population.
Different regions are served by different CCEs.

Current Programs –
Medicare Medicaid Alignment Initiative (MMAI)



3-way contract between HFS, Federal CMS, and MCO
Impacts those who are dually eligible for full Medicaid &
Medicare benefits
Clients will have access to all services under one MCO, another
step away from fragmented care

Includes both community and LTSS clients

Individuals are passively enrolled with option to opt out. If they
are receiving Long Term Services and Supports (LTSS) however,
they are required to select a health plan for those specific
services.
MMAI – LTSS
LTSS : Long Term Services and Supports
Under MMAI, the LTSS population includes nursing
home residents and those receiving Home and
Community Based Services(HCBS) waivers:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
Elderly (Community Care Program participants)
Traumatic Brain Injury
HIV/AIDS
Physically Disabled
Supportive Living Facility
MMAI- flexibility for the Consumer



All services currently received are covered plus care
coordination under an integrated health care delivery system.
Additionally, all of the MMP health plans offer added benefits
at no cost to consumer.
Ability to switch health plans under MMAI, though it may be
best to stay with one health plan as that health plan’s care
coordinator will get to know and understand their needs.
To aid in transition to the MMP, Continuity of Care for the first
180 days is available. Existing care plans and providers are
covered during this time period with hopes of a more
permanent relationship between MMP and provider.
