Service Coordination During Continuity 15 SCs are required to use each MCO’s system but we have developed processes and training for continuity of care. We are especially cognizant of impacts of extensive training during a period of change and want to work with you throughout this process. Continuity expectations: – This is an opportunity for us to build a relationship. – We lack definitive data and experience working with each of you. – Communication with UPMC on a regular basis creates success .

Service Coordination in the Long Run 16 UPMC Community HealthChoices operates a “hybrid” model: – We have internal and external service coordinators partners. – Continuity relationship will set the tone for ongoing collaboration. External service coordination entities: – Are delegated and become our partners. – Are a part of the UPMC Community HealthChoices team with consistent: Service Coordination model; Training; IT equipment; and Expectations

Physical Health Providers General benefits of being par-provider: – No referrals required; – Ninety-five percent of electronically submitted claims paid in less than 14 days with an accuracy rate of 99 percent or higher; – Limited prior authorization requirements; – Physician support tools; – Provider education and training opportunities; and – A primary care physician incentive program Contact [email protected] to request participation 17

Claims Payment 18 We share the Commonwealth’s goals of assuring provider payment and no service disruption during the transition to Community HealthChoices. Claims payment is one of our top priorities and we will be spending much more time with each provider during our fall onsite meetings and through detailed trainings. We have an electronic system for HCBS that contains the service authorization to expedite payment and assure we have clean claims. Physical health claims are processed via EDI or paper. Custodial nursing facility claims process will be similar to the current DHS claims process today and we will have more information to follow via NF specific trainings and communication. We work with most major claims clearinghouses, if you have specific questions, email [email protected] or [email protected].
