PCP/Plan Initiated Disenrollment and Dismissals
PCP Dismissals - A PCP may find it necessary to dismiss a Member from his/her practice due to member non-compliance with recommended health care, or unruly and disorderly behavior. · If the dismissal is inevitable, PCPs must immediately notify MHT's Member Services Department,
attn: Member Services Director. · These requests must include a detailed description of the circumstances prompting the
Provider/Practitioner to initiate the request, including statement of the specific issue, dates of occurrence, and frequency of occurrence. · Upon receipt of such request, the Member Services Director or designee will first make an effort to resolve the problem with the member through avenues such as PCP reassignment, education or referral services, and involvement of a Medical Case Manager RN to attempt to coordinate care. · The member will be notified in writing of the intent to disenroll and given an opportunity to appeal. · At no time should the Provider/Practitioner contact the member without approval of the Member Services Director or designee.
Plan Initiated Disenrollment (PID) - A Provider/Practitioner may request that a PID be processed for any of its members. However, MHT is responsible to initiate the process with HFS. Disenrollment can occur based on member:
Permanently moving outside Molina's service area Committing Fraud and/or abusing membership card Losing Medicaid eligibility and/or entitlement to Medicare benefits
1166
Referrals and Prior Authorization
Referrals are made when medically necessary services are beyond the scope of the PCPs practice. Most referrals to in-network specialists do not require an authorization from MHT. Information should be exchanged between the PCP and Specialist to coordinate care of the patient.
Prior Authorization is a request for prospective review. It is designed to:
Assist in benefit determination Prevent unanticipated denials of coverage Create a collaborative approach to determining the appropriate level of care for Members receiving
services Identify Case Management and Disease Management opportunities Improve coordination of care
Requests for services on the Molina Healthcare Prior Authorization Guide are evaluated by licensed nurses and trained staff that have authority to approve services.
A list of services and procedures that require prior authorization is included in your Welcome Kit, in our Provider Manual and also on our website at:
www.MolinaHealthcare.com
www.MolinaMedicare.com
1177
Request for Authorization
Authorization for elective services should be requested with supporting clinical documentation at least 5 business days prior to the date of the requested service. Authorization for emergent services should be requested within one business day. Information generally required to support decision making includes: Current (up to 6 months), adequate patient history related to the requested services Physical examination that addresses the problem Lab or radiology results to support the request (Including previous MRI, CT, Lab or X-ray report/results) PCP or Specialist progress notes or consultations Any other information or data specific to the request
MHT will process all "non-urgent" requests in no more than 14 business days of the initial request. "Urgent" requests will be processed within 72 hours of the initial request. If we require additional information we will pend the case and provide written communication to you and the Member on what we need. All referrals from Nursing Facilities and Hospitals will be managed as expedited requests.
Providers who request prior authorization approval for patient services and/or procedures can request to review the criteria used to make the final decision. Providers may request to speak to the Medical Director who made the determination to approve or deny the service request.

Care Management Program/Model of Care
To ensure that members receive high quality care, Molina uses an integrated system of care that provides comprehensive services to all members across the continuum of Medicare and Medicaid benefits. Molina strives for full integration of physical health, behavioral health, long term care services and support and social support services to eliminate fragmentation of care and provide a single, individualized plan of care for members. Molina's Care Management program consists of four programmatic levels. This approach emphasizes hightouch, member-centric care environment and focuses on activities that supports better health outcomes and reduces the need for institutional care.
As a network provider, you play a critical role in providing quality services to our members. This includes identifying members in need of services, making appropriate/timely referrals, collaborating with Molina case managers on the Individualized Care Plan (ICP) and Interdisciplinary Care Team meetings (ICT; if needed), reviewing/responding to patientspecific communication, maintaining appropriate documentation in member's medical record, participating in ICT/ Model of Care provider training and ensuring that our members receive the right care in the right setting at the right time.
Please call our Care Management Department at (866) 409-0039 when you identify a
Member who needs/might benefit from such services.
For additional Model of Care information, please visit our website at

Interdisciplinary Care Team (ICT)
Molina's ICT may include:
Registered Nurse (RN) Social Worker Case Manager Utilization Management Staff Molina Medical Director Pharmacy Member's Primary Care Provider Member and/or Designee Care Transition Coach Service Providers Community Health Worker Other entity that member selects
Note: Molina's ICT is built around the member's preferences and decisions are made collaboratively and with respect to member's right to self-direct care. Members have the right to limit and/or may decline to participate in:
Case management Participate in ICT and/or approve all ICT participants ICT meetings; brief telephonic communications
2211
Care Management Design
All members will have initial and annual health risk assessments and integrated care plans based on identified needs. Members are placed in the appropriate level of care management based on the assessment, their utilization history and current medical and psycho-social-functional needs. Molina's Care Management program consists of four programmatic levels as follows:
Level 1 Health Management
Health Management is focused on disease prevention and health promotion. It is provided for members whose lower acuity chronic conditions; behavior (e.g., smoking or missing preventive services) or unmet needs (e.g., transportation assistance or home services) put them at increased risk for future health problems and compromise independent living. The goal of Health Management is to achieve member wellness and autonomy through advocacy, communication, education, identification of service resources and service facilitation throughout the continuum of care.
At this level, members receive educational materials via mail
about how to improve lifestyle factors that increase the risk of
disease onset or exacerbation. Topics covered include smoking
cessation, weight loss, nutrition, exercise, hypertension,
hyperlipidemia, and cancer screenings, among others.
Members are given the option, if they so choose, to engage in
telephone-based health coaching with Health Management
staff, which includes nurses, social workers, dieticians, and
health educators.
2222
Care Management Design
Level 2 Case Management
Case Management is provided for members who have medium-risk chronic illness requiring ongoing intervention. These services are designed to improve the member's health status and reduce the burden of disease through education and assistance with the coordination of care including LTSS. The goal of Case Management is to collaboratively assess the member's unique health needs, create individualized care plans with prioritized goals, and facilitate services that minimize barriers to care for optimal health outcomes.
Case Managers have direct telephonic access with members. In addition to the member, Care Management teams also include pharmacists, social workers and behavioral health professionals who are consulted regarding patient care plans. In addition to telephonic outreach to the member, the Care Manager may enlist the help of a Community Health Worker or Community Connector to meet with the member in the community for education, access or information exchange.
2233
Care Management Design
Level 3 Complex Case Management
Complex Case Management is provided for members who have experienced a critical event or diagnosis that requires the extensive use of resources and who need help navigating the health care system to facilitate the appropriate delivery of care and services.
The goal of Complex Case Management is to help members improve functional capacity and regain optimum health in an efficient and cost-effective manner. Comprehensive assessments of member conditions include the development of a case management plan with performance goals and identification of available benefits and resources. Case Managers monitor, follow-up and evaluate the effectiveness of the services provided on an ongoing basis. Complex Case Management employs both telephonic and face-to-face interventions.
Community Connector program will also be available for
members receiving Level 3 & 4 Complex Case
Management. Community Connectors or "Promotoras"
support Molina's most vulnerable members within their home
and community with social services access and coordination.
Community Health Workers serve as patient navigators and
promote health within their own communities by providing
education, advocacy and social support.
2244
Care Management Design
Level 4 Imminent Risk
Level 4 focuses on members at imminent risk of an emergency department visit, an inpatient admission, or institutionalization, and offers additional high intensity, highly specialized services. Level 4 also includes those members who are currently institutionalized but qualify to transfer to a home or community setting. Populations most often served in Level 4 are the DualEligibles (Medicare/Medicaid), those with severe and persistent mental illness (SPMI), those with Dementia, and the Developmentally Delayed. These services are designed to improve the member's health status and reduce the burden of disease through education as described in level 1.
These criteria include meeting an intensive skilled nursing (ISN) level of care, facing an imminent loss of current living arrangement, deterioration of mental or physical condition, having fragile or insufficient informal caregiver arrangements, having a terminal illness, and having multiple other high risk factors.
Comprehensive assessments of Level 4 conditions include
assessing the member's unique health needs utilizing the
comprehensive assessment tools, identify potential transition from
facility and need for LTSS referral coordination, participate in ICT
meetings, create individualized care plans with prioritized goals,
and facilitate services that minimize barriers to care for optimal
health outcomes.
2255
Care Management Design
Based on the level of Care Management needed, outreach is made to the member to determine the best plan to achieve short and long-term goals. Each level of the program has its own specific health assessment used to determine interventions that support member achievement of short- and long-term goals. At the higher levels, this includes building an individualized care plan with the member and/or representative. These assessments include the following elements based on NCQA, state and federal guidelines:
- Health status and diagnoses
- Clinical history, Medications prescribed
- Cultural and linguistic needs
- Visual and hearing needs
- Caregiver resources
- Available benefits and community resources
- Body Mass Index, Smoking
- Confidence
- Communication barriers with providers
- Treatment and medication adherence
- Emergency Department and inpatient use
- Primary Care Physician visits
- Psychosocial needs (e.g., food, clothing, employment) - Durable medical equipment needs
- Health goals
- Mental health
- Chemical dependency
- Readiness to change and Member's desire / interest in self-directing their care
- Life-planning activities (e.g., healthcare power of attorney, advance directives)
- Activities of daily living, functional status, need for or use of LTSS
The resulting care plan is approved by the member, maybe reviewed by the ICT and maintained and updated by the Case Manager as the member's condition changes. The Case Manager also addresses barriers with the member and/or caregiver, and collaborates with providers to ensure the member is receiving the right care, in the right setting, with the right provider.
2266
LonHgeaTdelirnme GSoeersvHiceerse and Supports (LTSS)
Molina MMP members have access to a variety of Long Term Services and Supports (LTSS) to
help them meet daily needs for assistance and improve quality of life. LTSS benefits are

Medicare Comprehensive Health Evaluation/Annual Assessment
All Molina Medicare and Medicare/Medicaid (Dual) members should receive a Comprehensive Annual Assessment from their PCP, at least once every year. As part of our Initial Health Risk Summary Program, Molina collects specific information about our members' health conditions from these assessments in order to improve coordination of care.
PCPs should ensure that all Molina Medicare members are assessed at least annually, and submit a completed Molina Medicare Health Evaluation Form to MHT and/or fax
directly to (866) 420-3639. Please note the following:
All chronic conditions should be adequately assessed and documented on your progress note (documentation such as monitoring, evaluation, assessment, and plan);
Conditions for diagnosis codes submitted must be documented in your progress note; and
Documentation and coding should be to the highest specificity possible.
We recognize that documenting this assessment creates additional work for PCPs and their staff, so we have developed a method of reimbursement to compensate providers for this service. For additional information contact your Provider Services Representative.
For risk adjustment, coding questions, and inquiries, please send an email to: Ramp@molinahealthcare.com

Chronic Conditions and Access to Services
Molina Medicare and Medicare/Medicaid (Duals) members have numerous chronic health conditions that require the coordination and provision of a wide array of health care services. Chronic conditions within this population include, but are not limited to: cardiovascular disease, diabetes, congestive heart failure, osteoarthritis, and mental health disorders. These members can benefit from Molina's integrated care management approach. If you identify a member in need of such services, please make the appropriate/timely referral to case management at (866) 409-0039. This will also allow us to continue to expand access for this population to not only Primary Care Providers but also Long Term Support Services, Mental Health Providers, Community Supports and Medical Specialists. This will improve the quality of health for our members.
Prejudices
Physicians and other health professionals who encounter people with disabilities in their professional practice should be aware not only of the causes, consequences, and treatment of disabling health conditions, but also of the incorrect assumptions about disability that result from stigmatized views about people with disabilities that are common within society. Providers shall not differentiate or discriminate in providing Covered Services to any Member because of race, color, religion, national origin, ancestry, age, sex, marital status, sexual orientation, disability, physical, sensory or mental health handicap, socioeconomic status, chronic medical condition or participation in publicly financed programs of health care.
Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)
The ADA prohibits discrimination against people with disabilities, including discrimination that may affect: employment, public accommodations (including health care), activities of state and local government, transportation, and telecommunications. The ADA is based on three underlying values: equal opportunity, integration, and full participation. Compliance with the ADA extends, expands, and enhances the experience for ALL Americans accessing health care and ensures that people with disabilities will receive health and preventive care that offers the same full and equal access as is provided to others.
For additional information or questions on ADA, please contact our "Bridge2Access Connections" at (877) Molina7. Also,
please refer to Molina Provider Education Series document Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Questions & Answers

Disability, Literacy and Competency Training
Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 A civil rights law that prohibits discrimination on the basis of disability in programs and activities, public and private, that receive federal financial assistance. Section 504 forbids organizations and employers, such as hospitals, nursing homes, mental health centers and human service programs, from excluding or denying individuals with disabilities an equal opportunity to receive program benefits and services. Protected individuals under this law include: any person who (1) has a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities, (2) has a record of such an impairment or (3) is regarded as having such an impairment. Major life activities include walking, seeing, hearing, speaking, breathing, learning, working, caring for oneself, and performing manual tasks. Some examples of impairments which may substantially limit major life activities, even with the help of medication or aids/devices, are: AIDS, alcoholism, blindness or visual impairment, cancer, deafness or hearing impairment, diabetes, drug addiction, heart disease, and mental illness.

Barriers
By reducing or eliminating barriers to health care access, we can improve health and quality of life for people with disabilities. Some of the most prevalent barriers for seniors and people with disabilities are:
Physical Access: Ability to get to (access to Public Transportation and adequate parking), in to (including proper waiting room furniture and exam room equipment to meet the needs of all members), and through buildings including ensuring proper signage and way finding (e.g., color and symbol signage) are displayed throughout the facility.
Communication Access: Ensuring that a sign language or foreign language interpreter is present Medical Equipment Access: Ability to safely transfer on tables, access to diagnostic equipment Attitudinal: opinions and/or prejudices about a persons quality of life; embracing the idea that disability, chronic
conditions and wellness exist simultaneously.
Another barrier to accessing healthcare may be related to out of pocket expenses, utilization management, and care coordination. These barriers effect our members more often than others because of limited incomes, high utilization of health care services, limited education and complexities of the system. Molina Healthcare makes every effort to ensure that our provider's offices and equipment are accessible and make accommodations for people with disabilities. For questions or further information is needed [i.e. materials in accessible format (large size print, audio, and Braille), need sign language or interpreter services], please contact our Member Services Department or "Bridge2Access Connections" at (877) Molina7

Disability, Literacy and Competency Training
Person-Centered Model of Care A team based approach in which providers partner with patients and their families to identify and meet all of a patient's comprehensive needs. The purpose of a Person-Centered Model of Care is to provide continuous and coordinated care to maximize health outcomes while involving the patient in their own health care decisions. Planning Services and supports should be planned and implemented with each member's individual needs, preferences and health care decisions in mind. Member's should be given the authority to manage their health care and supports as they wish with as much or as little assistance as they need. All necessary information should be given to the member so that they can make the best decision for themselves. Individuals should also have the freedom of choice when it comes to Provider selection. Self-Determination Self-determination can be defined as the process when individuals with disabilities and their families control decisions about their health care and have a say in what resources are used to support them. Self-determination can foster independent living for dual eligible members and can also improve quality of life.

Social Model vs. Medical Model of Disability
There is a fundamental difference between how people with disabilities are seen by society and how the disability community sees themselves.
Medical Model of Disability
Social Model of Disability
Disability is a deficiency or abnormality
Disability is only a difference
Being disabled is negative
Being disabled, in itself is neutral
Disability resides in the individual
Disability derives from interaction between the individual & society
The remedy for disability-related problems is a cure or normalization of the individual
The remedy for disability-related problems are a change in the interaction between the individual and society
The agent of the remedy is the professional
The agent of remedy can be the individual, an advocate or anyone who affects the arrangements between the individual and society
Independent Living Philosophy Developed by a group of students in Berkley, CA who were frustrated by the degree to which control over their lives had been taken over by medical and rehabilitation professionals. Their experiences gave birth to the philosophy that "The freedom to make choices and the ability to live in the community is a basic civil right that should be extended to all people regardless of disability". The students believed that they didn't need to change to become integrated, but rather the environment and the attitudes toward persons with disabilities needed to change.
This is the philosophy of the Independent Living Centers (ILC's), a network of nationwide consumer controlled, community based, cross disability, non-residential private nonprofit agencies with centers in Texas and across the United States. ILC staff work with consumers to promote independence in the community contrary to other agencies that may take on a caretaker or protector role. ILCs believe that the freedom to make choices, including mistakes, empowers people to further their involvement in their life and community.

Disability, Literacy and Competency Training
The Recovery Model The mental health Recovery Model is a treatment concept wherein a service environment is designed such that individuals have primary control over decisions about their own care. This is in contrast to most traditional models of service delivery, in which individuals are instructed what to do, or simply have things done for them with minimal, if any, consultation for their opinions. The Recovery Model is based on the concepts of strengths and empowerment, saying that if individuals with mental illnesses have greater control and choice in their treatment, they will be able to take increased control and initiative in their lives. Providers should continue to provide members education about the possible outcomes that may result from various decisions and respect the value and worth of each individual as an equal and important member of society.
Evidence Based Practices & Quality Outcomes Evidence-based practice involves identifying, assessing, and implementing strategies that are supported by scientific research and maximizes three core principles: They are supported by the best research evidence available that links them to desired outcomes, they require clinical skill and expertise to select and apply a given practice appropriately, and they must be responsive to the individual desires and values of consumers, which includes consideration of individual problems, strengths, personality, sociocultural context and preferences.
Providers should strive for Quality Outcomes for each of their patients. Helping individuals achieve their highest level health and everyday function. Goals should be set for each patient and these goals should shape that patients treatment plan. Quality Outcomes can be measured by using key factors such as: · Patient's Satisfaction · Level of Improvement concerning their condition or disease · Functional Progress

4466
Fraud, Waste, & Abuse
MHT seeks to uphold the highest ethical standards for the provision of health care services to its members, and supports the efforts of federal and state authorities in their enforcement of prohibitions of fraudulent practices by providers or other entities dealing with the provision of health care services. "Abuse" means provider practices that are inconsistent with sound fiscal, business, or medical practices, and result in unnecessary costs to the Medicare and Medicaid programs, or in reimbursement for services that are not medically necessary or that fail to meet professionally recognized standards for health care. It also includes recipient practices that result in unnecessary cost to the Medicare and Medicaid programs. (42 CFR § 455.2) "Fraud" means an intentional deception or misrepresentation made by a person with the knowledge that the deception could result in some unauthorized benefit to himself or some other person. It includes any act that constitutes fraud under applicable Federal or State law. (42 CFR § 455.2)
4477
False Claims Act, 31 USC Section 3279
The False Claims Act is a federal statute that covers fraud involving any federally funded contract or program, including the Medicare and Medicaid programs. The act establishes liability for any person who knowingly presents or causes to be presented a false or fraudulent claim to the U.S. government for payment. The term "knowing" is defined to mean that a person with respect to information: Has actual knowledge of falsity of information in the claim; Acts in deliberate ignorance of the truth or falsity of the information in a claim; or Acts in reckless disregard of the truth or falsity of the information in a claim. The act does not require proof of a specific intent to defraud the U.S. government. Instead, health care providers can be prosecuted for a wide variety of conduct that leads to the submission of fraudulent claims to the government, such as knowingly making false statements, falsifying records, double-billing for items or services, submitting bills for services never performed or items never furnished or otherwise causing a false claim to be submitted.
4488
Deficit Reduction Act
On February 8, 2006, President Bush signed into law the Deficit Reduction Act ("DRA"). The law, which became effective on January 1, 2007 aims to cut fraud, waste and abuse from the Medicare and Medicaid programs.
Health care entities like Molina Healthcare of Texas who receive or pay out at least $5 million in Medicare and Medicaid funds per year must comply with DRA. Providers doing business with Molina Healthcare of Texas, and their staff, have the same obligation to report any actual or suspected violation of Medicare and Medicaid funds either by fraud, waste or abuse. Entities must have written policies that inform employees, contractors, and agents of the following:
The Federal False Claims Act and state laws pertaining to submitting false claims; How providers will detect and prevent fraud, waste, and abuse; Employee protected rights as whistleblowers.
The Federal False Claims Act and the Medicaid False Claims Act have Qui Tam language commonly referred to as "whistleblower" provisions. These provisions encourage employees (current or former) and others to report instances of fraud, waste or abuse to the government. The government may then proceed to file a lawsuit against the organization/individual accused of violating the False Claims Act(s). The whistleblower may also file a lawsuit on their own. Cases found in favor of the government will result in the whistleblower receiving a portion of the amount awarded to the government.
4499
Deficit Reduction Act
The Federal False Claims Act and the Medicaid False Claims Act contain some overlapping language related to personal liability. For instance, the Medicaid False Claims Act has the following triggers: Presents or causes to be presented to the state a Medicaid claim for payment where the person receiving
the benefit or payment is not authorized or eligible to receive it Knowingly applies for and receives a Medicaid benefit or payment on behalf of another person, except
pursuant to a lawful assignment of benefits, and converts that benefit or payment to their own personal use Knowingly makes a false statement or misrepresentation of material fact concerning the conditions or
operation of a health care facility in order that the facility may qualify for certification or recertification required by the Medicaid program Knowingly makes a claim under the Medicaid program for a service or product that was not provided
Whistleblower protections state that employees who have been discharged, demoted, suspended, threatened, harassed or otherwise discriminated against due to their role in furthering a false claim are entitled to all relief necessary to make the employee whole including: Employment reinstatement at the same level of seniority Two times the amount of back pay plus interest Compensation for special damages incurred by the employee as a result of the employer's inappropriate
actions.
Affected entities who fail to comply with the law will be at risk of forfeiting all Medicaid payments until compliance is met. Molina Healthcare of Texas will take steps to monitor Molina contracted providers to ensure compliance with the law.
