New
Not new
23
Transitions of Care Log and Process Updates (cont’d)
Member is admitted to new care setting
For each transition the CC must do the following within 24 hours of notification (these are not new requirements):
• Communicate with the receiving setting (CC contact info, care plan/services)
• Notify primary physician of the transition
• Document admission on the TOC log
New: No need to contact the member or member’s rep during these phases of the transitions unless CC feels necessary
24
Transitions of Care Log and Process Updates (cont’d)
Member returns to usual care setting
• Communicate with the receiving setting (CC contact info, care plan/services)
• Notify primary physician of the transition
• Contact the member or authorized representative and discuss the following:• Care transition process
• Changes to health status
• Changes to care plan
• Provide education to prevent readmission/future unplanned admissions
• Discuss the four pillars
• Update the care plan, if applicable
• Do this within one day of discharge or one day after notification of discharge, whichever is sooner

New
New
27
Transitions of Care Log and Process Updates (cont’d)
Caution: This applies only if the CC learns about all of the transitions 15 days after the member has returned to the usual care setting
• Example: If the CC learns of a transition while the member is still in any phase of the transition process, CC TOC activities and completed TOC log(s) are still required
• Example: If CC begins TOC interventions/log, they should complete the process through to discharge back to usual care setting even if the CC learns of the discharge back to the usual care setting 15 days or more after it occurred
28
Transitions of Care Log and NF Members
Why do nursing home care coordinators need to intervene during Transition when the facility normally takes care of the communications?
Example:
• 83 y/o MSHO member admitted to GeriPsych unit for sudden increase in dementia related behaviors. Upon admission, CC contacted hospital care manager and informed them of her role. She also confirmed they had the member’s medical records from the Nursing Facility (NF) and POA/family contact information
• Hospital Care Manager then notified the CC of member’s return to the NF and updated her on member’s medication changes and follow up appointments needed
• This allowed the CC to assist the NF team with finding an ongoing psychiatric provider to monitor medications and reduce chance of another psychiatric admission
29
Transitions of Care Log and Process Updates (cont’d)
• Audits of TOC logs and/or case note documentation will continue
• The Transitions of Care section of all four guidelines have been revised
• The two TOC documents have been updated and are available on our Care Coordination Portal:
• 6.22- Transition of Care Log

Elderly Waiver Reminders
Reminder: A member eligible for EW must choose and receive at least one waiver service in addition to Care Coordination
Waiver eligibility criteria: All must be met before opening/continuing (reassessment) EW:
• The member requires one or more AC, ECS or waiver service to delay or prevent institutionalization
• The member’s needs can be met in the community in a satisfactorily safe and cost effective manner
• It has been determined that the waiver, ECS or AC program is the appropriate payer for these services
69
Transfers of Care Coordination Delegation Reminders:
Prior to transferring, confirm correct PCC with member, authorized rep, or customized living/nursing facility. This is especially important if the transfer is to one of our care systems who provide Care Coordination as the PCC determines assignment
• Change the PCC by calling member services or faxing form 6.03- Notification of Primary Care Clinic Change Form• Blue Plus requires the PCC Provider ID on this form—PCC change will NOT be processed if
this field is blank
• Locate this ID in the directory on the Care Coordination Portal
• Changing the PCC alone does not transfer the member. Follow the transfer process by sending in 6.08- Transfers in Care Coordination Delegation to notify Blue Plus
• *New* If it is known the member’s MA is terming and coverage will not be reinstated, do not transfer the case. Current Care Coordinator should continue to follow the member until coverage terms
