are

not

required for any Health Partners Plans line of business! Our members are permitted to “self-refer” for specialist care.

When

coordinating care, the PCP should direct members to a specialist who the PCP believes can best assist with the care needed. In return, it is extremely important for specialists to continue to keep a patient’s assigned PCP informed of all care they render to the patient. 18Slide19

Utilization Management

Providing Appropriate Medical Care for Members

At Health Partners Plans, we are committed to providing our members with the most appropriate medical care for their specific situations.

To

achieve this goal, our utilization management decisions are based on medical necessity, appropriateness of care and service, the existence of coverage  and whether an item is medically necessary or considered a medical item.

This

means Health Partners Plans does not provide financial incentives for utilization management decision makers that encourage denials of coverage or service or decisions that result in underutilization.24Slide25

Prior Authorization Process

Providers

should obtain prior authorization at least

seven

days in advance for elective (non-emergent) procedures and services. Your request will be processed according to state and federal regulations. Failure to comply with this guideline may result in the medically non-urgent services being delayed.

25Slide26

Prior Authorization Process

For elective admissions and transfers to non-participating facilities, the PCP, referring

specialist

or hospital

must

call

the Health Partners Plans Inpatient Services department at 1-866-500-4571.We also offer the convenience of submitting authorization requests around the clock via HP Connect, our secure provider portal at www.HealthPartnersPlans.comMore detailed information can be found in the Utilization Management section of our provider manual at www.HealthPartnersPlans.com26Slide27

Emergency Care

Emergency care and post-stabilization services in emergency rooms and emergency admissions are covered services for both participating and non-participating facilities, with no distinction for in- or out-of-area services. Emergency care and post-stabilization services do not require prior authorization.

Health Partners Plans must comply according to our HealthChoices Agreement pertaining to coverage and payment of Medically Necessary Emergency Services.

Medicaid Members are not responsible for any payments.

27Slide28

Non-par follow-up specialty care for an emergency is covered by Health Partners, but our staff will contact the member to arrange for services to be provided in-network, whenever possible.

Access to PCP care is vitally important to maintaining the health of our members and, when possible, steering them away from the use of emergency rooms when their condition can more appropriately be managed in a PCP office environment. A PCP is required to provide access to care as outlined in the Access and Appointment Standards section of the manual. In addition, a PCP must be accessible 24/7.

This information applies all lines of business.

Guidelines and Procedures

While

maintaining patient confidentiality, the practice should attempt to notify the patient of missed appointments and the need to reschedule. Such attempts are recorded in the patient record. The attempts must include at least one telephonic outreach.The office has procedures for notifying patients of the need for preventive health services, such as various tests, studies, and physical examination as recommended for the appropriate age group. Notifications are recorded in the patient record.33All Lines of BusinessSlide34

Maternity Services

Members

who are confirmed to be pregnant are not subject to limitations on the number of services or copayments. Members are eligible for comprehensive medical, dental, vision and pharmacy coverage with no copayments or visit limits during the term of their pregnancy and until the end of their postpartum

care.

These

services include expanded nutritional counseling and smoking cessation services. However, services not ordinarily covered under a pregnant member’s benefit package are not covered, even while pregnant

.34MedicaidSlide35

Direct Access

Women

are permitted direct access to women’s health specialists for routine and preventive health care services without being required to obtain a referral or prior authorization as a condition to receiving such services. Women’s health specialists include, but are not limited

to gynecologists

or certified nurse midwives.

Pregnant

members and newborns If a new member is pregnant and already receiving care from an out-of-network OB-GYN specialist at the time of enrollment, she may continue to receive services from that specialist throughout the pregnancy and delivery-related postpartum care. This coverage period may also be extended if Health Partners Plans' Medical Director finds that the postpartum care is related to the delivery. 35All Lines of BusinessSlide36

Determination of Abuse or Neglect

Upon notification by the County Children and Youth Agency system, Health Partners Plans must ensure its members receive proper services when under evaluation as possible victims of child abuse and /or neglect and who present for physical examinations for determination or abuse or neglect.

HPP

staff who are designated as mandated reporters, as defined by the Pennsylvania Family Support

Alliance,

must report suspected child abuse to the appropriate authorities.

Section 11 of the HPP Provider Manual stipulates that providers must report abuse, neglect and/or domestic violence.36Slide37

Mental

Health and Substance Abuse Treatment

Under

HealthChoices, all Medical Assistance members, regardless of the health plan/MCO to which they belong, receive mental health and substance abuse treatment through the behavioral health managed care organization (BHMCO) assigned to their county of residence

.

PCPs who identify a Health Partners

(Medicaid) member in need of behavioral health services should direct the member to call his or her county's BHMCO. The BHMCO will conduct an intake assessment and refer the member to the appropriate level of care.37Slide38

Criteria

The Pennsylvania Department of Human Services (DHS) publishes and maintains behavioral health "Medical Necessity Criteria" for the Pennsylvania HealthChoices program.

you are interested in learning more about this criteria, visit the HealthChoices Behavioral Health Services Guidelines for Mental Health Medical Necessity Criteria.

(Medicaid) member diagnosed

as being HIV infected are eligible for HIV/AIDS case management provided by the Center of Excellence (COE), regardless of whether that member is assigned to the COE for primary care services. To be reimbursed, HIV or AIDS must be a primary or secondary diagnosis for each service.COE is a participating provider or group of providers that offers special medical and social expertise to HIV/AIDS patients and are a recognized provider of coordinated medical and social services to patients with HIV/AIDS and has agreed to provide special services as outlined in their COE agreement.Siblings can also be assigned to these providers as their PCP.45Slide46

Cultural and Linguistic Requirements

and Services

Low English proficiency, also known as

Limited

English

Proficiency

(LEP), affects more than 23 million Americans. Research has found that people with LEP encounter barriers to quality health care and are less likely to see their PCP, seek preventive care or use public health services. They are more likely to seek care in the ER, and receive far fewer services once seen in the ER than English-speaking patients.46All Lines of BusinessSlide47

Providing adequate interpreter and translation services

to

people seeking care is mandated by Federal law

.

These

mandates are found in Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964,

Title I & II of the Americans with Disabilities Act, and PA Code Title 55. Every patient with LEP is entitled to professional interpretation and translation services.For medical appointments, family members should never be used to interpret, nor should untrained office staff who are bilingual.47All Lines of BusinessCultural and Linguistic Requirements and ServicesSlide48

Professional interpretation and translation services are necessary to ensure that patients are provided with quality care that they can understand, question and engage with their doctor.
