Pre-Admission Screening and Resident Review (PASRR) – A Federal requirement (see Section 1919(e)(7) of the Social Security Act and 42 CFR Part 483, Subpart C) to help ensure that individuals are not inappropriately placed in nursing facilities for long term services and supports. PASRR requires that (i) all applicants to a Medicaid certified nursing facility be evaluated for mental illness and/or intellectual disability; (ii) be offered the most appropriate setting for their needs (in the community, a nursing facility, or acute care settings); and (iii) receive the services they need in those settings.

Patient Liability. Members receiving LTSS may be required to contribute income towards their long-term care costs. This can be applied to both nursing facility and HCBS services. In general, the providers are collecting the patient liability directly and therefore these payments are not included in the base data. The exception to this is for legacy PASSPORT and Choices waiver individuals where ODM collects the patient liability amounts. For these two waiver types, the base data represents payments gross of patient liability amounts. We expect the proportion of legacy individuals to decrease over time; however, the expected impact to patient liability is not material to the CY 2017 rate development process. Potentially Preventable Readmissions (PPR). Effective January 1, 2017, hospitals with excessive preventable readmissions will be penalized in the form of hospital-specific base rate reductions. For hospitals with actual-to- expected readmission ratios greater than 1.0, a base rate reduction of 1% will be effective on January 1, 2017. ODM provided a list of hospitals impacted by this program change and estimated the impact to inpatient expenditures under the MyCare program. Estimated cost reductions were not material.

Patient Liability. Members receiving LTSS may be required to contribute income towards their long-term care costs. This can be applied to both nursing facility and HCBS services. In general, the providers are collecting the patient liability directly and therefore these payments are removed from the calculation of the capitation rates. The exception to this is for legacy PASSPORT and Choices waiver individuals where the ODM collects the patient liability amounts. For these 2 cases, the capitation rates were not reduced by patient liability amounts.
