DESCRIPTION
OF NON-COVERED SERVICES
The
following services are excluded from the Contractor's Medicare and Medicaid
Benefit Packages, and are covered, in most instances, by Medicare or Medicaid
fee-for-service:
1.
Hospice Services Provided to Medicaid Advantage Enrollees
Hospice
services provided to Medicare Advantage Enrollees by Medicare approved hospice
providers are directly reimbursed by Medicare. Hospice is a coordinated program
of home and inpatient care that provides non-curative medical and support
services for persons certified by a physician to be terminally ill with a
life
expectancy of six (6) months or less. Hospice programs provide patients and
families with palliative and supportive care to meet the special needs arising
out of physical, psychological, spiritual, social and economic stresses which
are experienced during the final stages of illness and during dying and
bereavement.
Hospices
are organizations which must be certified under Article 40 of the NYS P.H.L.
and
approved by Medicare. All services must be provided by qualified employees
and
volunteers of the hospice or by qualified staff through contractual arrangements
to the extent permitted by federal and state requirements. All services must
be
provided according to a written plan of care which reflects the changing
needs
of the patient/family.
If
an
Enrollee in the Contractor's plan becomes terminally ill and receives Hospice
Program services, he or she may remain enrolled and continue to access the
Contractor's Benefit Package while Hospice costs are paid for by Medicare
fee-for-service.
2.
Other Services Deemed to be Covered by Original
Medicare by CMS
3.
Personal Care Agency Services
Personal
care services (PCS) involve the provision of some or total assistance with
personal hygiene, dressing and feeding and nutritional and environmental
support
(meal preparation and housekeeping). Such services must be essential to the
maintenance of the Enrollee's health and safety in his or her own home. The
services must be ordered by a physician, and there has to be a medical need
for
the services. Licensed home care services agencies, as opposed to certified
home
health agencies, are the primary providers of PCS. Enrollees receiving PCS
must
have a stable medical condition and are generally expected to be in receipt
of
such services for an extended period of time (years).
Services
rendered by a personal care agency which are approved by the LDSS are not
covered under the Medicare or Medicaid Benefit Packages. Should it be medically
necessary for the PCP to order personal care agency services, the PCP (or
the
Contractor on the physician's behalf) must first contact the Enrollee's LDSS
contact person for personal care. The district will determine the Enrollee's
need for personal care agency services and coordinate a plan of care with
the
personal care agency.

4.
Skilled Nursing Facility Days Not Covered by Medicare
Skilled
nursing facility days for Medicaid Advantage Enrollees in excess of the first
one hundred (100) days in the benefit period are covered by Medicaid on a
fee
for service basis.
5.
Prescription Drugs Permitted by State Law, Certain Medical Supplies and Enteral
Formulas Not Covered by Medicare
NYS
Medicaid continues to provide coverage for categories of drugs excluded from
the
Medicare Part D benefit such as barbiturates, benzodiazepines, and some
prescription vitamins, and some non-prescription drugs. NYS also provides
a wrap
around program which covers medications that are included in the Part D benefit
when the recipient is unable to receive them from his or her Part D plan.
Effective January 1, 2007, drugs which are covered through this Medicaid
wrap-around benefit will be limited to the following four categories of drugs:
1) atypical antipsychotics, 2) antidepressants, 3) antiretrovirals used in
the
treatment of HTV/AIDS, and 4) anti-rejection drugs used in the treatment
of
tissue and organ transplants, but only when 1) these drugs are not covered
by
the specific plan, 2) the patient does not meet the plan's utilization
management requirements, or 3) there are quantity limits inconsistent with
the
prescribed amount. Certain medical/surgical supplies and enteral formula
covered
by Medicaid and not included in the Contractor's Medicare Advantage Benefit
Package also will be paid for by Medicaid fee-for-service. Medical/surgical
supplies are items other than drugs, prosthetic or orthotic appliances, or
DME,
which have been ordered by a qualified practitioner in the treatment of a
specific medical condition and which are: consumable, non-reusable, disposable,
or for a specific rather than incidental purpose, and generally have no
salvageable value (e.g. gauze pads, bandages and diapers). Pharmaceuticals
and
medical supplies routinely furnished or administered as part of a clinic
or
office visit are covered by the Contractor.
6.
Out of Network Family Planning Services
As
described in Sections 10.6 and 10.9 of this Agreement, out of network family
planning services provided by qualified Medicaid providers to plan enrollees
will be directly reimbursed by Medicaid fee-for-service at the Medicaid fee
schedule. "Family Planning and Reproductive Health Services" means those
health
services which enable Enrollees, including minors who may be sexually active,
to
prevent or reduce the incidence of unwanted pregnancy. These
include:
diagnosis
and all medically necessary treatment, sterilization, screening and treatment
for sexually transmissible diseases and screening for disease and
pregnancy.
Also
included are HP/ counseling and testing when provided as part of a family
planning visit. Additionally, reproductive health care includes coverage
of all
medically necessary abortions. Elective induced abortions must be covered
for
New York City recipients. Fertility services are not covered.
