A Changing Landscape• Health reform rollout: opportunities and challenges
– State planning for insurance expansion, demos Enrollment systems
– Public awareness, not to mention provider awareness!– Managed care
• Health information technology
• Uncertainty can hinder progress:– Supreme Court and the ACA– The deficit debate– Future of Medicaid– State budget cuts

New Dollars… and New Challenges• When the ACA is fully implemented, Medicaid coverage is
expected to increase from 12.4% of individuals with mental illness to 23.3%
• Medicaid’s MH spending projected to rise by 49.7%; additional increases for Medicaid SUD spending
• National Council analysis: $15 to $23 billion more spending for MH/SUDs from insurance expansion potential new revenue sources
• The vast majority of the new spending will be federal dollars
• BUT... Many people served by state MH/SUD agencies will continue to be uninsured

Disruptive Technology
“An innovation that is disruptive allows a whole new population of consumers access to a product or service that was historically only accessible to consumers with a lot of money or a lot of skill.”
Clayton M. Christensen, “The Innovator’s Prescription A Disruptive Solution to the Healthcare Crisis”

Access to Insurance?• ACA includes requirement for simplified enrollment in
Medicaid, CHIP, and the Exchanges• Creates a “one-stop shop”… But…• Data from Mass. suggests potential for continued lack
of insurance among eligible participants:– Half of focus group participants with MH/SUD conditions
disenrolled from health insurance in past year
– According to CEOs of MH/SUD treatment programs, 20-30% of patients seeking acute services are uninsured (in a state where 97% of population as a whole is insured)

Reaching the “Eligible but Unenrolled”• Navigator support at key locations for
the most vulnerable populations• Outreach and enrollment efforts that
target these populations• Clear, concise, simple instructions disseminated through
multiple forms of media• Presumptive eligibility for acute and emergency episodes
for those previously enrolled• Exempt children, chronic or long term illness diagnoses,
from disenrollment consequence of random verification checks

Broad Array of Providers?
“A QHP issuer must ensure that the provider network of each of its QHPs, as available to all enrollees, meets the following standards –•Includes essential community providers in accordance with §156.235;•Maintains a network that is sufficient in number and types of providers, including providers that specialize in mental health and substance abuse services [emphasis added], to assure that all services will be accessible without unreasonable delay…”Establishment of Exchanges and Qualified Health Plans; Exchange Standards for Employers Final Rule, http://www.ofr.gov/OFRUpload/OFRData/2012-06125_PI.pdf
Do you meet the definition of an Essential Community Provider?

www.TheNationalCouncil.org
Robust Benefit Package?
• Essential benefits include mental health and substance use treatment (applies to Exchanges & individuals newly enrolled in Medicaid)
• MH and SUD must be offered at parity with medical/surgical benefits
This means…• …Most members of the safety net
will have coverage, including mental health and substance use disorders

A Population Health Approach• Move from a focus on providing services to a single
individual… to measurably improving outcomes for the populations in our communities
• Key strategies/elements:– Prevention
– Care management
– Partnerships with primary care providers and others in the healthcare system
– Data collection & continuous quality improvement
– Clinical accountability
