+Current Status Over 2 years since legislation signed into

law; major provisions not active until 2014, but there’s so much to do!

Mixed public awareness of ACA content & impact; myriad of philosophical viewpoints

Administration: Full speed ahead

Congress: Attempts to repeal, hinder, de-fund

Judicial: Supreme Court upholds law, makes Medicaid expansion optional

Enrolling Many More People Now: Medicaid has 60 million enrollees (1 in 5

people)

2014: Expansion adds 13-15 million new people (depending on outreach and enrollment)

“Woodwork”: Could add 4-5 million currently eligible-unenrolled

Total: about 80 million people will have Medicaid (about 1 in 4 people)

Washington State: 308,000 newly eligible, 66,000 currently eligible-but-

unenrolled

Easier Enrollment

Law requires fast, simple process using technology

Must coordinate Medicaid, state “Exchanges” and CHIP

Paper documentation will not be needed

Do not need: paper copy of paycheck/utility bill, birth certificate, ID or social security card (unless there’s a problem)

Will need to know: full legal name, social security number, your birth date, and income

Page 11: + Health Care & Housing Are Human Rights The Nuts and Bolts of Health Reform: What’s Important and What You Need to Do July 13, 2012 Barbara DiPietro,

+Facilitated by Technology

Eligibility will be based on income Not whether you have children or a disability Not whether you have a bank account, or the

value of your car, or other “assets” you might have (no asset tests)

The Medicaid system will automatically verify your income with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).

The Medicaid system will automatically verify your identity and your citizenship/residency status with Social Security.

+Those Remaining Uninsured Law does not provide a “right to health care”

Estimate over 26 million left uninsured in 2016

Medicaid eligible (but not enrolled): 30-50%

Undocumented persons: ~30%

Individual Mandate: requires most people to get health insurance or face a penalty.

Medicaid counts toward the mandate

Penalty: $95 in 2014, $695 in 2016 — BUT…

Those not filing taxes are exempt from the penalty

Less than ~$10,000/year in 2012Health Care & Housing Are Human

Outreach & Enrollment Law requires states “establish procedures for

outreach and enrollment activities to vulnerable & underserved populations” Children Unaccompanied homeless youth Children and youth with special health care needs Pregnant women Racial and ethnic minorities Rural populations Victims of abuse or trauma Individuals with mental health or substance-related

disorders Individuals with HIV/AIDS

Concern: No resources allocated for these activities

Page 17: + Health Care & Housing Are Human Rights The Nuts and Bolts of Health Reform: What’s Important and What You Need to Do July 13, 2012 Barbara DiPietro,

+A Word on the State Exchanges “Shopping center” for health insurance for

individuals and small employers Must be implemented by January 1, 2014 Subsidies and credits, based on income 100%-400%

FPL Focused on individual and small group markets Must contain insurance with “Essential Health

Benefits” States will need to determine what additional benefits

they cover (at state expense)

Anticipate covering 8 million in 2014 20 million in 2016

Medicaid Expansion: Our Challenges Meeting increase in demand for services

Expanding services and workforce Balancing productivity & quality Ensuring Medicaid & Exchange plans are

coordinated Identifying funding for service gaps and remaining

uninsured Maximizing billing, coding & IT system functioning Participating in state-level decisions Ensuring staff training across all teams, at all levels Ensuring states choose to expand Medicaid

+4 Clinical Questions

1. Patients: How will volume and acuity change? What additional services are needed beyond your walls?

2. Access: How quickly can patients be seen?

3. Teams: How do clinical/non-clinical staff communicate & collaborate? Outreach team?

4. Needs: How are the health needs of homeless populations being communicated to policymakers?

Page 21: + Health Care & Housing Are Human Rights The Nuts and Bolts of Health Reform: What’s Important and What You Need to Do July 13, 2012 Barbara DiPietro,

+5 Administrative Questions

1. Billing: Is it maximized, do systems need to be upgraded, do staff need to be (re)trained?

2. Filling gaps: What other services/resources are needed, and how are these needs being communicated to state decisionmakers?

3. Managed care: How will a transition from block grants impact service delivery/staffing?

4. Additional personnel: How can you increase clinical & support staff (e.g., case managers, outreach workers, billing specialists, etc.)?

5. Technical Assistance: Are you reaching out to your PCA and/or the National HCH Council if needed?
