SSI Managed Care HMO Enrollment
15
16
After members are determined eligible for BC+ or Medicaid, they receive a mailed packet with info about the HMO program.
Members can select a HMO on their own or receive help from the HMO enrollment specialist (Automated Health Services, Inc.).
If members do not select an HMO, they are assigned to a HMO (round-robin assignment) but can switch HMOs for a limited time.
HMO Enrollment Process
17
DHS allows members with specific health needs to opt out of HMO enrollment and receive all services via FFS. These exemptions are allowed for continuity of
care reasons, such as if a provider is not in a HMO’s network or the member requires complex services.
We also allow exemptions for all tribal members, per federal requirements.
Exemption requests must come from the member, the member’s family, or a legal guardian.
Managed Care Exemptions
18
Managed Care Contract Requirements
19
Prior to program participation, HMOs must complete a certification application to ensure they meet DHS program requirements. Must also comply with OCI.
During certification, DHS reviews HMO policies and procedures, does any system testing, and does provider network analysis.
Once approved, HMOs sign contract. Currently DHS issues a 2-year contract covering BadgerCare Plus and SSI HMOs.
HMO Certification & Contracting
20
Each HMO establishes a provider network of primary care providers, specialists, mental health professionals, hospitals, and urgent care clinics.
DHS reviews HMO provider networks prior to signing contracts with each plan.
The HMO's network must meet geographic distance standards between members and providers as well as provider-to-member ratio requirements in key areas.
HMO Provider Network Reviews
21
Network adequacy requirements: In establishing the network, the HMO must consider: Anticipated BadgerCare Plus and Medicaid SSI
enrollment. Expected utilization of services, based on member
characteristics and health care needs. Number and types of providers required to furnish the
contracted services. Number of network providers not accepting new
patients. Geographic location of providers and members,
distance, travel time, normal means of transportation used by members, and whether provider locations are accessible to members with disabilities.
Provider Network Requirements
22
BadgerCare Plus and Medicaid SSI HMO providers must be Medicaid-enrolled providers, except in emergency situations.
HMOs may negotiate payment rates with subcontracted providers, except they must pay 100% of the FFS rates for certain services (services by tribal providers, dental providers, or FQHCs; or out-of-network emergency services).
HMOs have flexibility in establishing timely filing periods for claims different from FFS; however, they must pay 90% of adjudicated clean claims within 30 days of receipt of the claim.
HMO Provider Networks
23
HMO must notify DHS and members if any providers leave the network to smooth the transition process and provide continuity of care.
Members are assigned to a primary care provider, clinic or specialist.
The HMO’s provider directory is sent to members upon enrollment and is available on each HMO’s website.
HMO Provider Networks
24
Time requirements: Less than 30 days for appointment with PCP Less than 30 days for appointment with mental
health provider for follow-up after an inpatient mental health stay.
In regions 5 and 6, less than 90 days for routine dental appointment.
HMOs must monitor compliance and take corrective action if there are longer wait times.
DHS will also investigate complaints about wait times.
Provider Network Requirements: Wait Times
25
The HMO contract sets maximum distance requirements for the following provider types: Primary care: within 20 miles (or within 10
miles for the cities of Milwaukee, Kenosha, and Racine)
Mental health or substance abuse: within 35 miles for all regions of the state
Dental: within 35 miles for HMO that covers dental in regions 1–4; within 25 miles in regions 5 and 6
Provider Network Requirements: Distance
26
Urgent care centers or walk-in clinics: must include after-hours care available from 5:00–7:00 p.m. and on weekends. All facilities must advertise that walk-in appointments are accepted. HMOs in regions 5 & 6, Dane County, and Brown County must have centers or clinics within 20 miles of any member in the HMO service area.
Hospitals: In regions 5 & 6, Dane County, and Brown County, a non-specialized hospital must be within 20 miles of any member in the HMO service area. In all other counties in regions 1–4, a non-specialized hospital must be within 35 miles of any member in the HMO service area.
In areas where there is no FFS provider available in the distance requirement, the HMO’s provider network must be comparable to FFS.
Provider Network Requirements: Distance
27
BadgerCare Plus and Medicaid SSI in regions 5 and 6: Primary care provider: 1:100 Dentist: 1:1,600 Psychiatrist: 1:900
Provider Network Requirements: Provider-to-Member Ratios
28
Members enrolled in managed care programs are entitled to the same benefits as fee-for-service members. Certain services are carved out (pharmacy, non-
emergency medical transportation, crisis and community services, prenatal care coordination, school-based services).
HMOs may offer additional benefits to their members or use different prior authorization criteria than FFS.
Coverage of dental and chiropractic services varies by region. If an HMO does not cover dental and chiropractic services, benefits are provided on a fee-for-service basis.
BadgerCare Plus members have minimal cost-sharing requirements. Twelve HMOs waive copays for enrolled members.
Managed Care Benefits
29
SSI Medicaid care management penalty: assessments Timeliness: HMOs must assess new members within 60 days of
HMO enrollment. Comprehensiveness: Assessment must include member’s medical
and behavioral health needs, daily living, supports, and life goals. Coordination: Comprehensive care plan must be developed within

Monitoring HMO Member and Provider Relations
31
The grievance process refers to the overall system that includes complaints, grievances, and appeals or expedited appeals.
Members may appeal an action to the HMO, the Department, and/or the Division of Hearings and Appeals. DHS encourages HMO members to first grieve to
their HMO, then to DHS, then to file an appeal with Division of Hearings and Appeals for a fair hearing.
However, a member may request a state-level fair hearing at any time.
Filing a complaint does not affect the member’s benefits.
Managed Care Member Complaint & Grievance Process
32
Resources for members with complaints or grievances: HMOs are required to have member advocates. DHS also has managed care ombudsmen who assist
HMO members. DHS contracts with Disability Rights of Wisconsin (DRW)
as an external advocate to assist SSI HMO members. HMOs are required to report grievances quarterly. Latest data on all grievances to HMOs and DHS indicate
these areas have the most grievances filed:1. Medical surgeries2. Other services (such as, back injections or breast
reductions)3. Dental/orthodontia4. Bariatric surgery

DHS provides a process for providers to appeal HMO payments. This process is described in the HMO contract, from HMOs, and in the Provider Handbook Topic 385.
HMOs must inform providers of decisions to pay or deny claims, including: Explanation of payment amount or nonpayment. Right to appeal to the HMO, including contact info and process.
Provider must appeal in writing, clearly marked as “appeal,” and include: Provider’s name, date of service, date of billing, date of
payment or denial, member’s name, and ID. Reason for appeal. Medical records (if complaint is medical).
Appeals to HMO must occur within 60 days of initial denial or payment.
Provider Appeals
35
Provider can appeal to DHS if HMO fails to respond within 45 days or if provider is unsatisfied with HMO’s reply.
Providers must appeal to HMO first for resolution attempt. Submit the appeal to DHS within 60 days of HMO’s final
decision or, if no response, within 60 days of 45-day timeline allotted for HMOs to respond.
Providers must use DHS’s form (http://dhs.wisconsin.gov/forms/F1/F12022.doc), complete all fields, and send it to: ForwardHealth Managed Care Appeals P.O. Box 6470 Madison, WI 53716-0470
Provider Appeals
36
Providers who are dissatisfied with the HMO’s payment can appeal to the HMO, and then to the Department for final mediation. Contract-specific timelines providers must follow to
appeal Typically low rate of DHS overturning HMO’s decision
HMO must keep records of internal appeals and perform provider outreach and education on trends to prevent future appeals to the Department.
The following areas have the most appeals filed: Medical necessity of inpatient care Level of care: inpatient vs. observation No prior authorization Coding issues

Managed Care Performance
39
The Department requires HMO participation in our Pay-for-Performance (P4P) quality program. DHS withholds a percentage of the HMO’s capitation payment until the HMO meets annual benchmarks for clinical measures.
Managed care performance is monitored through Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set (HEDIS) indicators, a tool used by 90% of health plans nationwide to measure HMO-specific care and service. The Department also uses other HEDIS-like measures where appropriate.
P4P targets are set on a statewide basis, except for dental measures, which apply to regions 5 and 6 only for 2015.
Each HMO implements a performance improvement project (PIP) each year that usually relates to the P4P quality measures.
The following slides represent the quality measures for 2015 BC+ and SSI HMOs.
