If EOHHS and CMS determine that the Contractor too frequently requests termination of enrollment for Enrollees, EOHHS and CMS reserve the right to deny such requests and require the Contractor to initiate steps to improve the Contractor’s ability to serve such Enrollees. To support EOHHS’ and CMS' evaluation of a Contractor’s requests for involuntary disenrollment, the Contractor shall:
a. In all cases, document what steps the Contractor has taken to locate and engage the Enrollee, and the impact of or response to each attempt;
b. Provide a quarterly report to the CMT of all Enrollees who have not participated in either the Comprehensive Assessment or the care planning process or both, and whether this is because the Contractor could not locate or engage the Enrollee, because the Enrollee declined, or for another reason;
6. Transfer Enrollee record information promptly to the new provider upon written request signed by the disenrolled Enrollee;
7. If the Enrollee transfers to a plan offered by another One Care contractor, with the Enrollee’s written consent, in accordance with applicable laws and regulations, promptly transfer current Minimum Data Set-Home Care (MDS-HC) assessment information to the new One Care contractor; and
8. Notify EOHHS if the Contractor becomes aware that an Enrollee has comprehensive insurance other than Medicare or Medicaid.

Assessment and Determination of Complex Care Needs Upon enrollment, and as appropriate thereafter, the Contractor must perform Initial and Ongoing Assessments. This process will identify all of an Enrollee’s needs, and, in particular, the presence of Complex Care Needs. In performing these assessments, the Contractor must also comply with 42 CFR 438.208(c)(2) through (4) and M.G.L. c. 118E, § 9D(h)(3).

The Contractor and an ASAP may enter into any appropriate reimbursement relationship for GSSC services, such as fee-for-service reimbursement, capitation, or partial capitation. If the Contractor is unable to execute or maintain a contract with any of the ASAPs operating in its Service Area due to lack of agreement on reimbursement-related issues, the Contractor must collaborate with EOHHS and EOEA to explore all reasonable options for reconciling financial differences, before terminating or failing to initiate a contract. If the Contractor fails to execute a contract with an ASAP operating in its service area, or determines that it must terminate a contract with an ASAP, and that is the only ASAP operating in its service area, the Contractor must follow the procedure in Section 2.4.A.5.e.

If EOHHS finds that the Contractor’s reasons are not substantiated with sufficient findings, EOHHS will develop a corrective action plan for the Contractor that ensures continuation of GSSC services and specifies the actions the Contractor will take. Nothing in this Section 2.4.A.5 precludes the Contractor from entering into a subcontracting relationship with any ASAP for functions beyond those required by M.G.L. c. 118E § 9D, including, but not limited to: Providing community-based services, such as homemaker, chore, and respite services; Performing initial and on-going assessments; and Conducting risk-assessment and care-planning activities regarding non-medical service needs of Enrollees without Complex Care Needs.

It is allowable for an Enrollee residing in the Service Area to be admitted to a Nursing Facility outside the Service Area for a service that cannot be obtained in the service area (and placement is not based on the family or social situation of the Enrollee). This placement is allowable for up to six months, unless the local MDHHS updates the Enrollee address to outside of the Service Area sooner, in which case the Enrollee cannot stay enrolled in the ICO. If an Enrollee’s street address on the Enrollment file is outside of the ICO’s Service Area but the county code does not reflect the new address, the ICO is responsible for requesting disenrollment within fifteen (15) calendar days of being notified of the misalignment. When requesting disenrollment due to out of Service Area, the ICO must be able to provide upon request, verifiable information that an Enrollee has moved out of the Service Area, verified by the Enrollee or an authorized representative. MDHHS will expedite prospective disenrollments of Enrollees and process all such disenrollments effective the next available month after notification from MDHHS that the Enrollee has left the ICO’s Service Area. If the county code on the Enrollment file is outside of the ICO’s Service Area, the ICO is responsible for requesting disenrollment within fifteen (15) calendar days of being notified of the misalignment.

Enrollment of an Enrollee who resides out of the Service Area of the ICO before the effective date of Enrollment will be considered an "enrollment error". The ICO is responsible for requesting disenrollment within fifteen (15) calendar days of the Enrollment effective date for such enrollment errors.
