CFC ELIGIBLE POPULATION. This Appendix establishes P4P for managed care plans (MCPs) to improve performance in specific areas important to the Medicaid MCP members. P4P include the at-risk amount included with the monthly premium payments (see Appendix F, Rate Chart), and possible additional monetary rewards up to $250,000. To qualify for consideration of any P4P, MCPs must meet minimum performance standards established in Appendix M, Performance Evaluation on selected measures, and achieve P4P standards established for selected Clinical Performance Measures. For qualifying MCPs, higher performance standards for three measures must be reached to be awarded a portion of the at-risk amount and any additional P4P (see Sections 1 and 2). An excellent and superior standard is set in this Appendix for each of the three measures. Qualifying MCPs will be awarded a portion of the at-risk amount for each excellent standard met. If an MCP meets all three excellent and superior standards, they may be awarded additional P4P (see Section 3). Prior to the transition to a regional-based statewide P4P system (SFY 2006 through SFY 2009), the county-based statewide P4P system (sections 1 and 2 of this Appendix) will apply to MCPs with membership as of February 1, 2006. Only counties with membership as of February 1, 2006 will be used to calculate performance levels for the county-based statewide P4P system.
CFC ELIGIBLE POPULATION. The MCP must meet on an ongoing basis, all program requirements specified in Chapter 5101:3-26 of the Ohio Administrative Code (OAC) and the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services (ODJFS) - MCP Provider Agreement. The following are MCP responsibilities that are not otherwise specifically stated in OAC rule provisions or elsewhere in the MCP provider agreement, but are required by ODJFS.
CFC ELIGIBLE POPULATION. I. General Provisions of the Compliance Assessment System
CFC ELIGIBLE POPULATION. The Compliance Assessment System (CAS) is designed to improve the quality of each MCP’s performance through actions taken by ODJFS to address identified failures to meet certain program requirements. The CAS assesses progressive remedies with specified values (occurrences or points) assigned for certain documented failures to satisfy the deliverables required by the Agreement. Remedies are progressive based upon the severity of the violation, or a repeated pattern of violations. The CAS does not include categories which require subjective assessments or which are not within the MCPs control. CAS allows the accumulated point total to reflect both patterns of less serious violations as well as less frequent, more serious violations. The CAS focuses on clearly identifiable deliverables and occurrences/points are only assessed in documented and verified instances of noncompliance. The CAS does not replace ODJFS’ ability to require corrective action plans (CAPs) and program improvements, or to impose any of the sanctions specified in Ohio Administrative Code (OAC) rule 5101:3-26-10, including the proposed termination, amendment, or nonrenewal of the MCP’s provider agreement. As stipulated in OAC rule 5101:3-26-10(F), regardless of whether ODJFS imposes a sanction, MCPs are required to initiate corrective action for any MCP program violations or deficiencies as soon as they are identified by the MCP or ODJFS. Corrective Action Plans (CAPs) - MCPs may be required to develop CAPs for any instance of noncompliance, and CAPs are not limited to actions taken under the CAS. All CAPs requiring ongoing activity on the part of an MCP to ensure their compliance with a program requirement remain in effect for the next provider agreement period. In situations where ODJFS has already determined the specific action which must be implemented by the MCP or if the MCP has failed to submit an ODJFS-approvable CAP, ODJFS may require the MCP to comply with an ODJFS-developed or “directed” CAP. Appendix N Occurrences and Points - Occurrences and points are defined and applied as follows: Occurrences — Failures to meet program requirements, including but not limited to, noncompliance with administrative requirements. Examples include: - Use of unapproved marketing materials. - Failure to attend a required meeting. - Second failure to meet a call center standard. 5 Points — Failures to meet program requirements, including but not limited to, actions which could impair the member’s abi...
CFC ELIGIBLE POPULATION. A high level of performance on the data quality measures established in this appendix is crucial in order for the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services (ODJFS) to determine the value of the Medicaid Managed Health Care Program and to evaluate Medicaid consumers’ access to and quality of services. Data collected from MCPs are used in key performance assessments such as the external quality review, clinical performance measures, utilization review, care coordination and case management, and in determining incentives. The data will also be used in conjunction with the cost reports in setting the premium payment rates. The following measures, as specified in this appendix, will be calculated per MCP and include all Ohio Medicaid members receiving services from the MCP (i.e., Covered Families and Children (CFC) and Aged, Blind, or Disabled (ABD) membership, if applicable): Incomplete Outpatient Hospital Data, Rejected Encounters, Acceptance Rate, Encounter Data Accuracy, and Generic Provider Number Usage. Data sets collected from MCPs with data quality standards include: encounter data; case management data; data used in the external quality review; members’ PCP data; and appeal and grievance data.
