Principles of Michigan’s Waiver Renewal and Tenets for Managed Care
• The honoring of each person’s preferences and choices including the presumption of competence and interpreting behavior as communication
• Doctors and other professionals would serve in consultative roles and their involvement would be only as desired or needed.
• Regular individual feedback and a focus on the outcomes the individual wants would form the basis for quality assurance.

Principles of Michigan’s Waiver Renewal and Tenets for Managed Care continued
• Self-determination would govern peoples’ lives and they would have choice and control over their own budgets according to their desires.
• The person who coordinates supports would play a personal agent role to help an individual achieve the outcomes they wished.
• Informal and generic supports would be considered prior to the implementation of supports through the Waiver
• External people and anyone unwanted would not intrude in the lives of the individuals served by the waiver

Desirable Elements of Managed Care are:
• A single funding stream
• Capitation with growth
• Local discretion
• Shared risk or stop loss
• People on waiting lists must be served

• We welcome change• We want what the waiver promised• Since prospects for new money are low, the re-
direction of public dollars offer the most efficient possible use of public dollars
• Control the growth rate of expenses• Carve out presents an opportunity

Goals
• Fulfill the promise of the Code revisions
• Individualize Supports
• Eliminate barriers
• Contain the rise of costs for services that do
add value
• Provide needed and desired services for
those on waiting lists

VALUES Michigan’s public mental health system for persons with developmental
disabilities should promote individuals to be:
• Empowered to exercise choice and control over all aspects of their lives
• Involved in meaningful relationships with family and friends supported to live with family while children and independently as adults
• Engaged in daily activities that are meaningful, such as school, work, social, recreational, and volunteering
• Fully included in community life and activities

SUPPORTS AND SERVICES
The reason for defining the “alternative” supports and services is to:
• Identify an acceptable array of service/support options
• Which can be provided on an individualized and very flexible basis
• Depending on the desires and needs of the person
• To establish mechanisms to track what services/supports are delivered

MEDICAL NECESSITY CRITERIA

What did we Learn?• Wide variety of Federal Authorities support managed care– 1915(a), 1915(b), 1915(b)/(c), 1915(i), 1915(j), 1915(k), and
1115 Demonstrations• Vast majority of states enroll elders and adults• Managed Care Organizations do what states tell them to
do• If participant direction is offered in the traditional fee-for-
service program – it is required in managed care program• States require advisory committees
![Page 18: Managed Long Term Care is Coming; What Can WE Do?](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062310/568160f6550346895dd031c6/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
More Findings
• Participant direction is voluntary• Services to be self-directed include:– Personal Care, Attendant Care, and Respite– Trend to offer skilled care and therapies
• Training is available but typically not required• Back-up plans are required• Financial Management Services typically are
contracted with Managed Care Organization

More Findings
• Provision of information and assistance (self-directed counseling) is usually conducted by managed care staff

Recommendations: States Should
• Include the community in the development of the basic design, RFP, Contract, Management, and Quality Strategies
• Require the role of the participant as paramount• Provide specific language on advocacy, engagement,
participant-direction, and necessary supports• Ensure roles and responsibilities are identified• Require flexible individual budgets

States Should Require:
• Specify benchmarks for participant direction• Require participant to be part of the Quality
Evaluation System• An Ombudsman Office – without conflict• Informal concern/issue resolution and a
formal appeals process
