1. Amendment to CMS for the 1115 Managed Medical Assistance (MMA)

Waiver

“The Agency is also planning to submit an amendment to CMS for the 1115 Managed Medical Assistance (MMA) Waiver.

 Under our current system, new Medicaid recipients have to wait from 30 to 60 days before they can enroll in a health

plan. The proposed amendment will allow individuals to be enrolled in a managed care plan immediately after they gain Medicaid eligibility. This change means recipients will have

access to these benefits as soon as possible. We are requesting an effective date of September 1, 2015.” -

2. Modifications to Meaningful Use for 2015 through 2017

On April 10, 2015, Together with the proposed Stage 3 notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) issued on March 20, 2015, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services issued a new proposed rule for the Medicare and Medicaid Electronic Health Record (EHR) Incentive Programs to align Stage 1 and Stage 2 objectives and measures with the long-term proposals for Stage 3, to build progress toward program milestones, to reduce complexity, and to simplify providers’ reporting.

Simplifying and StreamliningThe proposed rule would streamline reporting requirements. To accomplish these goals, the NPRM proposes:  Reducing the overall number of objectives to focus on advanced use of EHRs; modifying patient action measures in Stage 2 objectives related to patient engagementRemoving measures that have become redundant, duplicative or have reached wide-spread adoption;Realigning the reporting period beginning in 2015, so eligible hospitals and CAHs would participate on the calendar year instead of the fiscal year; andAllowing a 90 day reporting period in 2015 to accommodate the implementation of these proposed changes in 2015.

3. All Agency Disclosure of Provider/Recipient Information

In accordance with Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) regulations, Agency representatives are not allowed to disclose provider claim or other information, including recipient protected health information (PHI) to individuals who are not authorized representatives of a Medicaid provider. Authorized representatives include the provider’s employees and any registered billing agents with a Medicaid provider ID (provider type 99).

To receive provider information, the billing agent must also be associated with the provider’s file through the submission of an Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) agreement. Providers may not use an unrelated third-party who is not enrolled in Medicaid as a billing agent. Please contact Medicaid Provider Enrollment at 1 (800) 289-7799, option 4, for information on enrolling as a Medicaid billing agent, or linking to a provider file as a trading partner.

Agency representatives will not disclose any provider information to parties who do not meet the criteria described above.
