Comprehensive Assessments a. The Contractor shall provide, at a minimum, a Comprehensive Assessment to at least the following Enrollees:
Comprehensive Assessments. Each Enrollee shall receive, and be an active participant in, a timely Comprehensive Assessment of medical, behavioral health, community-based or facility-based LTSS, and social needs completed by the Care Management team. For Enrollees identified as high-risk, the CICO must use SCDHHS’s automated Case Management system, to record the Comprehensive Assessments (as described in Section 2.6.4). For Enrollees identified as high-risk, the Comprehensive Assessment will be performed using the state’s uniform assessment tools. For all other Enrollees, the CICO may utilize internal Comprehensive Assessment tools. Assessment domains will include, but not be limited to, social, functional, medical, behavioral, wellness and prevention domains, caregiver status and capabilities, as well as the Enrollee’s preferences, strengths, and goals. The CICO will complete the Comprehensive Assessment by using information from comprehensive data sources, input from the Enrollee, Providers, and family/caregivers. Assessments will be completed by qualified, trained health professionals who possess a professional scope of practice, licensure, and/or credentials appropriate for responding to or managing the Enrollee’s needs. Examples of health professionals who may complete portions or all of the assessment include, but are not limited to: Registered nurses, Licensed practical nurses (under the supervision of registered nurses), Social workers, Medicaid case managers, Certified geriatric care managers, Certified community health workers The CICO will use the results of the Comprehensive Assessment to confirm the appropriate acuity or risk stratification level for the Enrollee and as the basis for developing the integrated ICP. The Enrollee will continue to receive any community-based or facility-based LTSS (i.e., respite care) in any existing Waiver Service Plan(s) prior to the Comprehensive Assessment or reassessment. The CICO will adhere to all transition requirements for services, as outlined in Section 2.6.8..

Comprehensive Assessments. This service is designed to establish eligibility for OhioRISE and subsequently determine the level of care coordination necessary for individuals who are determined to be eligible for OhioRISE. CANS assessments performed for potentially eligible members on an ongoing basis will be covered by the MMC or FFS programs, until the day after OhioRISE enrollment. The July 2022 MMC capitation rates include the portion of projected CANS assessment benefit expense anticipated to be covered by the MMC program during the rating period. We utilized monthly OhioRISE CANS enrollment information from ODM to project the utilization of CANS assessments covered under the MMC program. We estimated the total volume of CANS assessments by grossing up the OhioRISE enrollment projections, to account for members who failed to meet the threshold score for OhioRISE eligibility. The average unit cost was developed based on the CANS assessment rates in the OhioRISE New and Enhanced Services Fee Schedule8. Program changes deemed immaterial to benefit expenses in the rate period Adjustment factors were developed for policy and program changes estimated to materially affect the managed care program during the July 2022 rating period that are not fully reflected in the SFY 2021 Experience Adjusted data. Program adjustments were made in the rate development process to the extent a policy or reimbursement change is deemed to have a material cost impact to the MCOs. We defined a program adjustment to be ‘material’ if the total benefit expense for any individual rate cell is impacted by more than 0.1%. In addition, program adjustments that were determined to be material in prior rate setting activities, or are material to the MyCare Ohio program, are considered material. The following is a list of program adjustments deemed immaterial based on our review of the experience data and policy change. • Medication Reviews for Children in Custody. ODM requires a consistent approach to medication reviews for children in custody. The goal is for these medication reviews is to create a meaningful way the public children services association of Ohio (PCSAs) and MCOs can collaborate to provide better care for the youth they serve, as well as provide a way to assist PCSAs in tracking antipsychotics and other prescriptions in their population. We anticipate that this change is immaterial to the MMC program. • Pharmacists as Providers. ODM implemented ORC 5164.14 effective January 15, 2021, which permits M...
