What is Managed Care – in general
•
Medicaid managed care
provides for the delivery of the Medicaid health benefits and additional services in United States through an arrangement between a state Medicaid agency and managed care organizations (MCOs) that accept a set payment – “capitation” – for these services.
• There are two main forms of Medicaid managed care, “risk-based MCOs” and “primary care case management (PCCM).”

Why Coordinated Care?
• Some people with multiple chronic conditions see an average of 14 different doctors and fill 50 prescriptions a year.
• This is common among people with both Medicare and Medicaid, referred to as “dual eligibles,” who often are sicker and poorer than other beneficiaries.
• Today’s care delivery system is fragmented and doesn’t provide the care coordination dual eligibles need. This fragmentation leads to increased risk of admission to the hospital or nursing home.

eight counties
.
• CCI will start no sooner than April 2014.
Two Parts
1.
Medi-Cal Managed Long-Term Services and Supports (MLTSS) • Mandatory enrollment into a Medi-Cal health plan for all Medi-Cal benefits, including LTSS and Medicare wrap-around benefits.
• Who: Nearly all Medi-Cal beneficiaries, including dual eligibles 2.
Cal MediConnect - Duals Demonstration • Optional enrollment into three-year demonstration program for coordinated Medicare and Medi-Cal benefits through a single organized delivery system.
• Who: About 456,000 full benefit duals are eligible to participate

Cal MediConnect: What are my choices?
1.
•
Get your Medicare and Medi-Cal benefits together in one health plan.
You can enroll in a single health plan for all of your health care services. Joining one of these plans is voluntary.
OR
2. Get ONLY your Medi-Cal benefits in a health plan.
• • You can keep your Medicare benefits like they are today, but you still must enroll in a health plan for your Medi-Cal benefits. (long-term care services and extra Medicare cost-sharing) Note: Enrolling in a health plan for Medi-Cal benefits only won’t change or affect your Medicare services. You can still see your Medicare doctors.
OR
3. Get your Medicare and Medi-Cal benefits in a PACE plan.
• You can enroll in the Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly – called PACE – if you meet certain criteria.

Long-Term Services and Supports in Managed Care
• • • • In-Home Supportive Services (IHSS) is personal care for people who need help to live safely at home. In a health plan, you will keep your IHSS providers and can still hire, fire, and manage them. The county IHSS social worker will still assess your needs and approve your IHSS hours. Your rights to appeal will stay the same.
Community Based Adult Services (CBAS) is adult day health care provided at special centers. Your health plan will work with you and your physician if you need this service.
Multipurpose Senior Services Program (MSSP) provides social and health care coordination services for people 65 and older. Your health plan will work with MSSP providers to provide this service.
Nursing home care is long-term care provided in a facility. Your health plan will work with your doctor and nursing home to make sure your medical and long-term care needs are met
