  6. Feldesman Tucker Leifer Fidell ǀ Freeborn ǀ Hooper, Lundy & Bookman, P.C. Agenda  Introduction  Final Regulation: Key Components • Medical Loss Ratio • Actuarial Soundness • Pass through Payments • Benefit Flexibility • Network Adequacy/Flexibility • Provider Screening & Enrollment • Other Provider Program Integrity Provisions • Grievances and Appeals  Best practices for Compliance 6  Q&A

  7. Feldesman Tucker Leifer Fidell ǀ Freeborn ǀ Hooper, Lundy & Bookman, P.C. Introduction  Overview  Themes of Rule  Who is impacted and how  Long Term Services and Support (LTSS) integrated throughout Rule 7

  8. Plan Rate Setting 8 Feldesman Tucker Leifer Fidell ǀ Freeborn ǀ Hooper, Lundy & Bookman, P.C.

  9. Medical Loss Ratio (MLR) and Feldesman Tucker Leifer Fidell ǀ Freeborn ǀ Hooper, Lundy & Bookman, P.C. Actuarial Soundness  Rationale in Adopting MLR Standards: To promote consistency between state Medicaid, commercial (ACA and state law), and Medicare Advantage (MA) MLR requirements  CMS: MLR reporting valuable tool to ensure that capitation rates for MCOs are actuarially sound and adequately based on reasonable expenditure for covered services. 81 Fed Reg 27,837 (May 6, 2016)  CMS: Benefits to having a common national standard for MLR: 1) Greater transparency for use of Medicaid funding 2) Will allow comparisons across states and facilitate better rate setting 3) Will facilitate better comparisons to MLR in private market and MA 4) Will reduce administrative burden on managed care plans by providing a consistent approach to ensuring financial accountability for plans with multiple product lines and/or operating in multiple states 9

  10. MLR Requirements Feldesman Tucker Leifer Fidell ǀ Freeborn ǀ Hooper, Lundy & Bookman, P.C. (§§ 438.4, 438.5, 438.8, 438.74)  MLR is the percentage of premiums spent on incurred claims and quality/other activities  Medicaid Managed Care Medical Loss Ratio (MLR) Formula: Health Care Claims + Quality Improvement Expenses + Other Activities = Medicaid Managed Care MLR Premium Revenue Collected – Taxes, Licensing & Regulatory Fees • Numerator: Total of incurred claims, expenditures on activities that improve health care quality and certain other activities • Denominator: Adjusted premium revenue collected, taking into consideration adjustments for enrollment, excluding federal or state taxes and licensing or regulatory fees 10

  11. Feldesman Tucker Leifer Fidell ǀ Freeborn ǀ Hooper, Lundy & Bookman, P.C. MLR Calculation/Applicability  Generally the same type of calculation as established by the private market MLR under ACA, with some variation built in due to differences in Medicaid programs and populations • e.g. MCO pass-through payments are excluded. § 438.8(e)(2)(v)(C)  Differences in Medicaid plans and commercial plans create slightly different requirements affecting calculation  Current MLR examples: • ACA: 85% commercial, large group MLR (effective 2011; reporting began 2012) • ACA: 80% commercial, individual and small group MLR (effective 2011; reporting began 2012) • Medicare Advantage: 85% (effective 2014) • States: Variable  MCOs must report MLR annually; different than three year reporting cycle now in place for private plans under ACA  Final Rule expands MLR to Medicaid Managed Care no later than rating period for contracts starting on or after July 1, 2017 instead of January 1, 2017 as proposed 11

  12. Feldesman Tucker Leifer Fidell ǀ Freeborn ǀ Hooper, Lundy & Bookman, P.C. MLR Reports/Usage  Plan reporting obligations based on available and consistent information  Minimum MLR threshold: 85%  No maximum MLR included  Use of MLR Reports • Actuarial Soundness: major use • Remittances: No requirement if MLR not met, but states retain discretion to require remittances for failure to meet 12

  13. Actuarially Sound Rates Feldesman Tucker Leifer Fidell ǀ Freeborn ǀ Hooper, Lundy & Bookman, P.C. (§ 438.4)  Defined as those projected to provide for all reasonable, appropriate, and attainable costs under the terms of the contract for the time period and population covered under the contract  Revises current definitions, creating new standards for states and actuaries – includes six additional new requirements in addition to prior standards  An actuarial rate certification should provide sufficient detail, documentation and transparency to enable another actuary to assess the reasonableness of the methodology and the assumptions supporting the development of the final capitation rate 13  Specificity and transparency are key

  14. Feldesman Tucker Leifer Fidell ǀ Freeborn ǀ Hooper, Lundy & Bookman, P.C. CLARIFICATION OF PLAN SPENDING Maximum/Minimum Fee Schedules, Value Based Purchasing and Pass-Through Payments 14

  15. Clarification on Plan Spending Feldesman Tucker Leifer Fidell ǀ Freeborn ǀ Hooper, Lundy & Bookman, P.C. (§ 438.6)  State may only direct plan’s expenditures for: • Adoption of a minimum or maximum fee schedule for particular services or provide a uniform increase for providers of particular services • Value based purchasing models • Participation in a multi-payer delivery system reform or performance improvement initiative 15

  16. “Minimum Fee Schedule” or Feldesman Tucker Leifer Fidell ǀ Freeborn ǀ Hooper, Lundy & Bookman, P.C. “Uniform Increase” Approval  For approval: • Must be based on the utilization and delivery of services; • Directs expenditures equally, and using the same terms of performance, for a class of providers providing the service under the contract; • Expects to advance at least one of the goals and objectives in the quality strategy in §438.340; • Has an evaluation plan that measures the degree to which the arrangement advances at least one of the goals and objectives in the quality strategy plan • Does not condition network provider participation in contract arrangements under paragraphs (c)(1)(i) through (iii) of this section on the network provider entering into or adhering to intergovernmental transfer agreements; and 16 • May not be renewed automatically.
