Family Planning (FP Sample Clauses

Family Planning (FP. During the quarter, 17,470 women were registered as having had FP consultations, of whom 3% (542 women) were HIV+. A total of 293 (54%) of the HIV+ women were provided with oral contraceptives, 217 (40%) with injectable contraceptives, and 32 (6%) with an intrauterine device. The number of HIV+ women provided with one FP method increased by 28% (from 422 to 542) compared to the last quarter. The increase is likely due to the improved availability and use of FP registers in the maternity, as well as to advocacy with and orientation of the clinical staff in the ART sector on referring women in ART to FP services during TA visits and on-the- job training. The priority for the next quarter will be to advocate with the DPS for the integration of FP into HIV services. Laboratory CHASS N continued supporting 19 laboratories in 16 districts of Niassa province; 58% (11 out of 19) of these laboratories have the capacity to perform CD4 counts. During the quarter a total of 3,802 CD4 counts were performed, which represents a decrease of 11% as compared to the previous quarter (from 4,2391 to 3,802). This decrease resulted from a breach in operations in four labs. During the first 3 weeks of November 2013 CS Entrelagos in Mecanhelas and CS Metangula in Lago suffered from a breakdown of the POCT-CD4 PIMA; during the first 3 weeks of December 2014 HP Lichinga experienced the breakdown of the FACS CALIBUR equipment which required a repair by the supplier; during the first 2 weeks of December 2013 HR Cuamba had not received the hard disk for backup from Maputo for the FACS COUNT machine; and during the first 2 weeks of December. The province has made provision for one backup (spare) POCT-CD4 PIMA for cases of breakdown. Nevertheless, as two labs had problems at the same time, only Xxxxxxxxxx could benefit from the backup machine during the repair time, leaving Lago with a breach in operations for a longer period. Strategies being adopted by CHASS N and DPS to reduce the inactivity of some PIMAs will include training of additional technical staff at HFs to avoid interruptions due to absence of staff. This training will be provided by the provincial team of trainers. In one additional PIMA will be acquired to be kept in Cuamba to serve as backup for the southern region of the province, while the existing extra machine from Lichinga will serve as backup machine for the northern region. Among the total number of CD4 count processed (3,802), 1,832 were done through the supplied...

The MCO must make a reasonable effort to Subcontract with all local family planning clinics and providers, including those funded by Title X of the Public Health Services Act, and must reimburse providers for all family planning services regardless of whether they are rendered by a participating or non-participating provider. Unless otherwise negotiated, the MCO must reimburse providers of family planning services at the Medicaid rate. The MCO may, however, at its discretion, impose a withhold on a contracted primary care provider for such family planning services. The MCO may require family planning providers to submit claims or reports in specified formats before reimbursing services.

In addition, MCOs must ensure that network procedures for accessing family planning services are convenient and easily comprehensible to enrollees. MCOs must also educate enrollees regarding the positive impact of coordinated care on their health outcomes, so enrollees will prefer to access in-network services or, if they should decide to see out-of-network providers, they will agree to the exchange of medical information between providers for better coordination of care.
