Comprehensive Assessments. Each Enrollee shall receive, and be an active participant in, a timely Comprehensive Assessment of medical, behavioral health, community- based or facility-based LTSS, and social needs completed by the Care Management team. The CICO must use Phoenix, SCDHHS’s automated Case Management system, to record the Comprehensive Assessments and to track the Long Term Care Assessments (as described in Section 2.6.4 Long Term Care Assessments).

Comprehensive Assessments. This service is designed to establish eligibility for OhioRISE and subsequently determine the level of care coordination necessary for individuals who are determined to be eligible for OhioRISE. CANS assessments performed for potentially eligible members on an ongoing basis will be covered by the MMC or FFS programs, until the day after OhioRISE enrollment. The July 2022 MMC capitation rates include the portion of projected CANS assessment benefit expense anticipated to be covered by the MMC program during the rating period. We utilized monthly OhioRISE CANS enrollment information from ODM to project the utilization of CANS assessments covered under the MMC program. We estimated the total volume of CANS assessments by grossing up the OhioRISE enrollment projections, to account for members who failed to meet the threshold score for OhioRISE eligibility. The average unit cost was developed based on the CANS assessment rates in the OhioRISE New and Enhanced Services Fee Schedule8. Adjustment factors were developed for policy and program changes estimated to materially affect the managed care program during the July 2022 rating period that are not fully reflected in the SFY 2021 Experience Adjusted data. Program adjustments were made in the rate development process to the extent a policy or reimbursement change is deemed to have a material cost impact to the MCOs. We defined a program adjustment to be ‘material’ if the total benefit expense for any individual rate cell is impacted by more than 0.1%. In addition, program adjustments that were determined to be material in prior rate setting activities, or are material to the MyCare Ohio program, are considered material. The following is a list of program adjustments deemed immaterial based on our review of the experience data and policy change. • Medication Reviews for Children in Custody. ODM requires a consistent approach to medication reviews for children in custody. The goal is for these medication reviews is to create a meaningful way the public children services association of Ohio (PCSAs) and MCOs can collaborate to provide better care for the youth they serve, as well as provide a way to assist PCSAs in tracking antipsychotics and other prescriptions in their population. We anticipate that this change is immaterial to the MMC program. • Pharmacists as Providers. ODM implemented ORC 5164.14 effective January 15, 2021, which permits Medicaid to provide payment for health care services provided by pharmacis...
