Medicaid Climate in Pennsylvania Mandatory enrollment in managed care, staged by geographic zone Dual Eligibles In FFS for PH In Managed Care for BH Disabled non-duals are included in mandatory enrollment Children s Health Insurance is administered separately from Medicaid and in a different state department Behavioral Health Services are carved out and administered separately, primarily through county-based BH systems No Medicaid expansion at this time No State-run Exchange at this time 4

Medicaid expansion or subsidized exchange purchasers two views of individuals High Need Needs for services to treat multiple chronic conditions, behavioral health and substance abuse Consumers at the lower end of the poverty scale incur disproportionately high costs Low need Relatively healthy young (age 19-34) and predominately report themselves to be in excellent or very good physical and mental health More likely to be in a working household Most likely to see a blend of these characteristics, but should not expect this population to be homogenous 5

Families with Split Eligibility Numerous families will have members covered by different programs: Medicaid, CHIP, Exchange (with subsidies) 16.2 million Medicaid or CHIP-eligible children have parents with income in Exchange-eligibility range.* 75 percent of Exchange-eligible parents will have one or more children who are eligible for CHIP or Medicaid and must enroll in these programs.* It is important to cover families in one plan Parents need to learn only one health plan s procedures. In some MCOs and with family practitioners, parents & kids can be seen together if enrolled in a common plan. Health coverage system needs to be consumer-friendly doesn t make sense to split families into separate programs and plans. *Urban Institute (http://www.urban.org/UploadedPDF/412341-Affordable-Care-Act.pdf). 7

Solutions: Aligning Coverage Continuous plan enrollment for one year, with payment changes happening in the background Consistency of care as individuals move (at the user s option) Network Authorizations and care management Benefits Cost-sharing compatibility Family coverage Quality standards Clinical interventions

Solutions: Product Design Create product offerings that will retain current membership pull membership from competitors, and attract uninsured Provide options at premium price points consumers are accustomed to Provide options at coverage levels consumers are accustomed to Simple, easy to understand products with no hidden cost shares Build benefits that consumers can use for everyday, but protect them from high costs Build Products with a focus on Consumers, not Competitors We do not, and cannot know what products the competition will offer Focus on consumer preferences

Specialized (Limited Benefit) Plans Carve out supports a strong population management focus on individuals with chronic illness burden, such as serious mental illness or intellectual disabilities This focus could occur in an integrated medical model but often does not due to special needs and stigma Many of these individuals see the specialty provider as their primary points of contact Carve out facilitates strong engagement with other human services (welfare, criminal justice, children and youth) Tailored to meet consumer preference and provider expertise 10
