HomeMy WebLinkAboutID Provider Meeting Minutes 8-7-15Franklin/Fulton Friday, August 7, 2015 ID 1 8/7/15 MINUTES Welcome & Introductions › Everyone introduced themselves and their agency affiliation. Fiscal Updates › Interim Cost Settlement Update  It appears Ed has received all information needed from providers for interim cost settlement for fiscal year ending June 30, 2015. He is currently in the process of completing it with a goal of next week. As a reminder, if you are a provider that provides base services that are cost settled, please make sure to send your internally generated reports to Ed Franchi. › Billing & Projection Spreadsheet  Ashley will be sending new billing and projection spreadsheets for FY 15-16 to providers within the next week or so. If anyone has any questions they can contact Ashley McCartney.  When completing the spreadsheet, the total does not need to equal the contract encumbrance. If utilization is going to be higher or lower than the contract amount, this should be indicated on the spreadsheet so proper planning can be started. Providers should not use 1/12th of contract each month unless that is the accurate utilization. › Friendly Reminders for our Base Funded Providers  Reports due prior to our next meeting (by August 15th):  Quarterly Report of Expenditures (April – June)  Salary Review for FY ending June 30th  Property Purchased Report for FY ending June 30th  Property Leased Report for FY ending June 30th  Fixed Assets Purchased with MH/ID/EI Funds for FY ending June 30th  For the Property Purchased, Property Leased and Fixed Assets Purchased reports – if there have been no purchases, please submit the report with N/A instead of just not submitting a report at all. Steve Nevada › Budget & Future Utilization of Resources  The state budget has yet to be passed and does not sound like a resolution is any closer. Franklin and Fulton counties have agreed to pay necessary expenditures moving forward. The counties will continue to analyze this on an ongoing basis to determine availability of funds. It is unknown how long this can be sustained but providers will be updated as we are.  Administrators and ID Programs across the state have discussed the ongoing fiscal cost of the ID program, how it is managed, how resources are allocated Franklin/Fulton Friday, August 7, 2015 ID 2 8/7/15 and how we can continue to sustain the programs. There have been some challenges as costs continue to increase. The group is looking at ways to utilize available dollars. Some counties have been given larger allocations based on old formulas. Question has been is there a way to base each person’s budget on their acuity of need. Nothing has been sent out from the state yet. This is just a heads up as it continues to be discussed. › Contract Process Survey  MH/ID/EI is looking to send out a survey for feedback on the contract process as we do not want the process to be cumbersome. There are things that are unable to be changed but we want to make the process as efficient as we can. Please take the time to complete the survey. If you receive the survey and do not handle contracts, please forward it onto the person responsible for contracts. The input will be used to see if changes are able to be made. Lori Young › AEOM Process Changes  Process changes took place in the Administrative Entity Oversight Monitoring this year. Lori reviewed them and does not believe any of the changes will affect providers. Questions are being removed that do not go with the AE. There are also eight (8) new policies and procedures required, which the County has all of them. Lori has tweaked the policies to meet the criteria per the AEOM. › Draft 6100 Regulations  Click here to access draft.  Comments were due at the end of May. However, if you still have feedback let us know and Steve can route the feedback to ODP. Lori is currently comparing the 6100 regs to Chapter 51. It appears as if they hold the same structure and categories; vague but specific. The provider orientation is new. There is no date of when they will implement the 6100s.  Q: who will conduct the audits/monitoring, the SC or AE. – A: Right now, the state is looking to combine it with the provider monitoring. A meeting is taking place in September. Lori will pass on any information as she gets it. › AE Quality Management Plan 2015-2017  Please review “Overview of 2015-2017 Quality Management Plan” handout. The handout contains the outcome from ODP, objective for 2015-2017 and trends and baseline data. Lori provided a brief overview of the handout. Individual to Individual (I2I) abuse is a new objective being measured. As a result to ODP redefining I2I abuse, there has been an increase in incidents.  For the employment goal, ID is looking to collaborate with any providers that have individuals who have employment in the community. However, this is Franklin/Fulton Friday, August 7, 2015 ID 3 8/7/15 currently on hold until the budget is passed. ID is working with AHEDD and any other providers interested to have an Employment Fair. If your agency provides employment in the community (supported employment) and is interested in the Employment Fair, please contact Lori Young. Jane Cline › ICD-10 Codes  ICD-10 compliance date changed to October 1, 2015. There have been concerns about billing due to nothing changing in HCSIS. FYI – there will be a system change; probably at the end of September. New codes are as follows: ODP VALID ICD-9 AND ICD-10 DIAGNOSIS CODES ICD-9 Description IDC-9 Codes ICD-10 Description ICD-10 Codes Mild 317 Mild Intellectual Disabilities F70 Moderate 3180 Moderate Intellectual Disabilities F71 Severe 3181 Severe Intellectual Disabilities F72 Profound 3182 Profound Intellectual Disabilities F73 Unspecified 319 Unspecified Intellectual Disabilities F79 Development Delay 3159 Unspecified Intellectual Disabilities F79  If services were rendered on or prior to September 30th, 2015 and billed for later in October, the provider would use the ICD-09 diagnosis codes. If services were rendered on or after October 1st, 2015, providers must bill using the ICD-10 diagnosis codes regardless of when billed. › Current ISP Manual  The current ISP manual never came out in an informational packet from ODP Consulting. The manual was revised April 30th, 2015. Jane recommends that SCs and program staff print out a copy of the ISP manual and carry it with them to meetings to use as a reference. One thing to point out in the manual under Home and Community, “services shall not be rendered in a building or a room owned, rented or leased by providers with the purpose of providing services solely to individuals with a disability.” This means individuals cannot go to your agency to do shredding anymore. If a provider has a location opened for respite, individuals come in and cook, you cannot do home and community out of that.  A handout was provided to highlight the comparison of home and community and companion services. Click here for information on bulletins. › Respite Site Address  All Licensed and Unlicensed Out-of-Home respite services for both 24 hour unit and 15 minute unit must be billed using the service location (physical Franklin/Fulton Friday, August 7, 2015 ID 4 8/7/15 address) where the service was rendered. It can no longer be “site not specified” unless it is provided in the person’s private home.
