Title: Medical Necessity Concept in Practice Medical Necessity: Who


1
Medical Necessity
  • Concept in Practice

2
Medical Necessity Who Cares?
  • What payers?
  • What about accreditors?
  • Even for rehab option?
  • What about recovery programs and services?
  • Isnt this something only the doctor can
    determine?
  • What about client choice?

3
Medical Necessity Who Cares?
  • PAYERS
  • Medicaid
  • Medicare
  • Champus/Tricare
  • ODMH
  • ODADAS
  • Commercial insurers

4
OIGs Red Book
  • 2002 Red Book once again cites
    MH
  • the IG found that
  • Medicare could save 685 million by reducing
    claims error rates for mental health services.
    (Error) Rates exceeded 34 suggesting numerous
    and widespread problems. The IG suggested CMS
    monitor cases of under-utilization,
    over-utilization, medical necessity and
    reasonableness.

5
OIG Audit of Medicare Part B Outpatient MH
Services
  • May 2001 Release
  • Review of core services, not partial hospital
  • Review of 1998 services 1.2 billion spent on
    mental health by Medicare 60 is outpatient
  • Over half of services audited were to
    beneficiaries who are eligible because of
    disability, not age

6
OIG Audit of Medicare Part B Outpatient MH
Services
  • 34 of individual therapy services inappropriate
  • 50 of group therapy services inappropriate
  • 40 of psych testing services inappropriate
  • 16 of pharmacological services inappropriate

7
OIG Audit of Medicare Part B Outpatient MH
Services
  • 41 billed inaccurately wrong code, non-covered
    services, excessive billing
  • 11 unqualified providers
  • 65 poor documentation
  • 23 medically unnecessary
  • 22 receiving more services than necessary
  • 8 not receiving enough services

8
GAO Testimony on Medicaid Fraud (Nov 1999)
  • Three primary categories of fraud and abuse
  • Improper billing practices upcoding, phantom TX,
    delivering more treatment than is necessary
  • Misrepresenting qualifications false
    credentials, performing outside the bounds of
    ones license
  • Improper business practices kickbacks for
    referrals to a provider or product, anti-trust,
    cost reports issues, enhancement of profits by
    limiting care

9
GAO and Medicaid
  • This year for first time GAO adds Medicaid to
    list of programs at High Risk for fraud and abuse
  • Cites schemes by states to leverage funds
  • Waiver programs that increase costs
  • Insufficient oversight to assure providers paid
    appropriately

10
GAO and Medicaid
  • January 30, 2003 Report
  • Argues for more and more aggressive state
    Medicaid anti-fraud initiatives
  • States are not collecting all they could for
    fraud efforts from feds because they would have
    to match - .01 being spent on payment safeguards
  • Efforts to identify improper payments limited and
    modest in scope

11
The OIGs Work Plan Other Medicaid Services
  • Waiver Programs
  • Cost neutrality and costs effectiveness of
    Medicaid waiver programs being questioned
  • 2 years ago Home and Community Based Waiver
    programs for the Mentally Retarded were cited

12
Medical Necessity Who Cares?
  • What about accreditors?
  • Medical necessity is a payment concept
  • Medical necessity and quality of care are linked
  • Treatment should be the least restrictive,
    considering the safety of the client and their
    current status (signs, symptoms, functioning)

13
Medical Necessity Who Cares?
  • Even for rehab option?
  • Rehab option services are either paid for by
    Medicaid or by state funds that follow the
    Medicaid model
  • Medical necessity is a foundation concept

14
Medical Necessity Who Cares?
  • What about recovery programs and services?
  • Many services that are critical to a
    recovery-based model of care are being paid for
    through the rehab option, e.g. skill building,
    psychosocial rehab, residential support, and
    others
  • Some recovery-focused services such as peer
    support and most recreational services are not
    paid for under rehab option and payment is not
    based on medical necessity

15
Medical Necessity Who Cares?
  • Isnt this something only a
  • doctor can determine?
  • No
  • Diagnosing professionals
  • Treatment planning signers
  • Managers of care
  • Once initial case made, continuing confirmation
    is found in progress notes and other
    documentation the entire treatment team
    participates

16
Medical Necessity Who Cares?
  • What about client choice?
  • They can choose to receive services that are not
    medically necessary
  • Those services must be paid for by the client or
    by alternate available resources
  • Billing for non-medically necessary services is a
    problem
  • Paybacks
  • Potential for investigations, fines, etc.

17
Productivity and Medical Necessity
18
Medical Necessity Whats it mean?
19
Medical Necessity Whats It Mean?
  • Starts with a qualified
  • professional
  • Assessment
  • Clinical Formulation
  • Diagnosis
  • Determination of level of care
  • Ordering treatment
  • Scope of license issues

20
Medical Necessity Whats It Mean?
  • Ohio Medicaid
  • Services ordered are necessary for Dx or Tx of
    disease, illness, or injury and without which the
    patient can be expected to suffer prolonged,
    increased or new morbidity, impairment of
    function, dysfunction of a body organ or part, or
    significant pain and discomfort.1
  • 1 Ohio Adminstrative Code, 51013-1-01

21
Medical Necessity Whats It Mean?
  • Deconstructing Medical Necessity
  • Services ordered are necessary for diagnosis
  • Initial assessments are usually covered unless
    internal transfer
  • Reassessments should be done only if there is a
    need to update information
  • E.g. Medicare pays for an assessment every three
    years or after any changes to level of care
  • Psych testing should be done for diagnostic
    purposes only and then only if additional
    information is needed that cannot be obtained
    from an interview
  • Consultations and other diagnostic work e.g.
    labs, etc. may be covered in order to diagnose.
    Need clear link.

    organ or part, or significant pain and
    discomfort.
  • Treatment can be focused on preventing
    backsliding
  • Treatment can be focused on impairment of
    function
  • Treatment can be focused on prevention of new
    morbidities,

  • Ohio Medicaid
  • Medically necessary services are those that
  • When used for diagnosing capable of providing
    unique, essential and appropriate information
  • Additional diagnostic tests must be capable of
    providing information that is not available in
    other, less expensive ways.

29
Criteria for Payment
  • In addition to tests of medical
  • necessity, Ohio Medicaid is looking for
    additional information before agreeing to pay
  • Services must be voluntary and initiated by
    client
  • Evidence of client choice of provider
  • Eligible providers must render service
  • Compliance with definition of service
  • Service must be lowest cost service that

  • Services must be
  • Provided according to an individualized service
    plan
  • Least restrictive setting that is available and
    safe
  • Developmentally appropriate for children

31
Additional Guidance for MH and SA
  • DSM IV or ICD 9 CM diagnosis

    ICD 9
  • Each service must be directed toward an
    appropriate diagnosis

32
Additional Guidance for MH and SA
  • Client must be active participant

    participation in treatment
  • Besides being present- what else?
  • Non-compliance
  • Catatonia and other diagnoses that may prevent
    participation
  • Watch billing for these
  • Signing treatment plans, progress notes

33
Additional Guidance for MH and SA

  • Very young children
  • Dementia all kinds fight if you think it is
    appropriate at early stages of disease
  • Mental retardation except for mild and
    sometimes moderate
  • Autism
  • Other clients who cannot benefit e.g.
    intoxicated

34
Additional Guidance for MH and SA

    healing arts, within the scope of their practice
    under state law, for the maximum reduction of
    physical or mental disability and restoration of
    the individual to the best possible functional
    level.

36
Rehabilitation Option
  • IAPSRS Definition of
  • Rehabilitation Model
  • Focuses on the functioning of the individual in
    the normal, day to day environment, and looks at
    the strengths and skills people bring to the
    rehabilitation process and supports in the
    community.

37
Rehabilitation Option
  • IAPSRS Definition
  • of Rehabilitation Model continued
  • Although an individual may still be symptomatic,
    the rehabilitation process helps a person learn
    ways to compensate for the effects of the mental
    illness thorough environmental supports and
    coping skills. The person with the mental illness
    becomes the the expert in managing the
    disability.

38
Why is Rehab Option so important to the payer?
  • Research has
  • demonstrated that rehabilitation leads to
  • shorter hospitalizations
  • improved social functioning

    based on impact of Tx
  • Tx Plans reflected maximum allowable under
    Medicaid not goals and needs of patients

46
Documenting the Medical Necessity of
Rehabilitation
  • Service focus is on teaching not providing
    cueing, reminding, training, overcoming barriers
  • Medical necessity based on functional criteria.
  • Community Support is not case management

47
Documenting the Recovery Philosophy
  • Consumer choice treatment planning
  • Empowerment focus on strengths based skills
    development
  • Non-coercion and self-determination engaging the
    consumer in their own recovery
  • Protection of rights privacy, choice, complain,
    to choose their provider, and so forth
  • Responsibility for managing ones own health
    treatment planning, provider choice, skills and
    resource development

48
Rehabilitation Services
  • Skills development for restoration to maximum
    functional state
  • Organized approach to development of new or
    redevelopment of old competencies
  • Can use curriculum in community support too
  • Implies that a baseline has been established
  • Not clinically focused although clinical services
    may play an integral or supportive role in
    treatment

  • Documentation is required under Ohio code
  • all Medicaid providers are required to keep such
    records as are necessary to establish medical
    necessity and to fully disclose the basis for the
    type, extent, and level of the services provided

65
Documenting Medical Necessity
  • Key Elements in
  • Documentation
  • Is there a diagnosis that meets payer criteria?
    Evidence that this is the correct diagnosis?
  • Assessment of client functioning? Sufficient
    deficits or threats to justify level of care?
  • Current ISP? Signed? Is array of services
    appropriate for the clinical picture?

66
Documenting Medical Necessity
  • Key Elements in Documentation
  • Services rendered in accordance with ISP and with
    payer definitions of services? Is the provider
    appropriately credentialed?

67
Documenting Medical Necessity
  • Key Elements in
  • Documentation
  • Is there evidence of client participation?
  • Cognitive ability if client has DX that would
    normally contraindicate treatment make sure there
    is an adequate explanation
  • Willingness to participate may be exceptions
    for those individuals committed to the board

68
Documenting Medical Necessity
  • Key Elements in Documentation
  • Is there evidence that the client is benefiting
    from treatment?
  • Medical necessity is closely linked to outcomes
  • If client is not benefiting
  • the services may not be medically necessary
  • the level of care may be inappropriate
  • Services dedicated to prevention of backsliding
    need continuous testing
