FY 2011 Continuing Resolution and FY 2012: President’s Budget Requests> Congress must pass a continuing resolution (CR) to keep the government running through FY 2011
> Republican campaign pledge: cut $100 billion from the budget
> President Obama’s budget proposal includes:• Mental Health Block Grant: $434.7 million

Hypothesis…
> The American healthcare system is moving into an era of “Disruptive Innovation” to improve quality and bend the cost curve
> That began before the passage of the Accountable Care Act
> And will proceed, regardless of what happens in the elections of 2012 and 2014
www.TheNationalCouncil.org
Changing Landscape…
˃ Parity, technology and reform will trigger dramatic changes in how health and MH/SU services are organized.
˃ Which will change the way MH/SU services are funded and fit into the new healthcare ecosystem.
www.TheNationalCouncil.org
Parity - Paul Wellstone and Pete Domenici Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act> Plans may not apply financial requirement or treatment
limitation to mental health or substance use benefits more restrictive than financial requirement or limitation for medical/surgical benefitsExamples: If in-network medical/surgical benefits are subject to $15 copay then no in-network MH/SUD can be subject to a copay greater than $15; combined deductible - separate deductibles not allowed
> Prescription drug formulary design; Fail-first or step therapy> Standards for provider participation in a network, including
reimbursement rates> Conditioning benefits on completing a course of treatment
www.TheNationalCouncil.org
Health Information Technology
> The Obama Administration made a “down payment” on healthcare reform with the passage of the HITECH Act in 2009.
> Supports the adoption and meaningful use of Health Information Technology
www.TheNationalCouncil.org
Health Information Technology Requires > Shift to “measurement-based care” – adjusting
treatment based on success of the intervention> Enable providers to share patient information to
reduce redundant/unnecessary procedures> Ability to demonstrate that interventions improve
health outcomes and/or save money> Reporting of quality measures for incentive payments.> New relationships with hospitals, health centers and
other parts of healthcare delivery system > For true care coordination; success of healthcare
home and accountable care organizations models

Medical Homes: Primary Care Clinics that Look and Act Differently
Picture a world where everyone has...• An Ongoing Relationship with a PCP• A Care Team who collectively takes
responsibility for ongoing care• And Provides all Healthcare or makes
Appropriate Referrals• Helping ensure that Care is Coordinated and/or Integrated
And where... • Quality and Safety are hallmarks• Enhanced Access to care is available (evenings & weekends)• And Payment appropriately recognizes the Added Value

Ensuring a Role for Behavioral Health Organizations
Get a seat at the table:> Work to ensure that MH/SU interests and
perspectives are included throughout the implementation process
Know thyself:> Agencies will need to have a detailed and working
knowledge of their capacity, technological needs, community needs, and the most effective services for their community to cogently advocate for the right changes in policies.
www.TheNationalCouncil.org
Ensuring a Role for Behavioral Health Organizations
Make new friends:> While the need to work with state Medicaid offices
has been true for a long time, the inclusion of MH/SU throughout the ACA makes working with Medicaid, insurance, and primary care essential.
Think outside the box: > With new policy changes and more people with
access to care, we will have to think creatively about how to increase capacity, reach out to underserved populations, and provide services in a way to meet the demands of the new law.
www.TheNationalCouncil.org
Medicaid Benefits: Benchmark vs. Traditional
> Most newly eligible people will be enrolled in benchmark plans> Exemptions for:
• Blind or disabled individuals, regardless of SSI eligibility• Dual eligibles• Inpatients in a hospital, nursing facility, or ICF-MR• Medically frail and special needs individuals (includes people with
disabling mental disorders/children with serious emotional disturbances)
> Health reform also includes important improvements to benchmark benefits (e.g. parity, minimum required benefits)
> Consumers & advocates will have to decide whether benchmark or traditional coverage best meets their needs
> States will need to develop processes to identify individuals who have a disabling mental disorder or functional impairment
www.TheNationalCouncil.org
Ensuring a Role for Behavioral Health Organizations
Build new bridges:> With each initiative, community behavioral
health organizations will have to think about how to build a greater capacity to provide services, both in terms of service providers but also service locations.
Go back to the future:> These initiatives require investment in new
technologies, especially those that interface with other systems and measure outcomes.
www.TheNationalCouncil.org
Ensuring a Role for Behavioral Health Organizations
Follow the money:> As always, the money trail will be a deciding
factor in how programs will be implemented. National Council Roadmap for State
Associations> Explains critical areas of health reform

New Patient’s first Visit to PCP includes
behavioral health screening
Possible BH Issues?
Behavioral Health Assessment by BH
Professional working in primary care
Need BH Svcs?
Clients with Low to Moderate BH need enrolled in Level 1; to be case managed and served in primary care by PCP and BH Care Coordinator with support from Consulting Psychiatrist and
other clinic-based Mental Health Providers
Clients with Hi Moderate to High need referred to Level 2 specialty care; PCP continues to
provide medical services and BH Care Coordinator maintains linkage; this is a time-
limited referral with expectation that care will be stepped back to primary care
YES
YES
Referrals to other needed services and supports (e.g. CSO, Vocational Rehabilitation) 49

4. High Performing Specialty Provider Caseload ManagementDo you have well defined assessment processes and defined
levels of care based on clinical pathways, functionality in daily living activities, symptom severity indicators, service volumes, etc. to match client need with the type, location, and duration of evidence-based care that increases the likelihood of positive outcomes?
50
www.TheNationalCouncil.org
5. High Performing Specialty Provider Consumer-Centered , Recovery- Oriented Care
> Is your clinical delivery process consumer-centered and supportive of “stepped care”?• The ability to rapidly step care up to a greater level of intensity when needed?• The ability to step care down so that a consumer’s MH/SU care is provided in primary care with
appropriate supports?• The ability to offer “back porch” services for consumers who graduate from planned care?• All offered from a
client-centered,recovery-orientedperspective?

Executive Leadership> COMPSTAT – New York City Police Department concept where police
data are mined and mapped to show where the city's crime problems concentrated -- and to direct police activity to where it is most needed.
> High Cost, Complex Needs - using Medicaid claims and other state/local administrative data to identify high-need individuals with psychiatric disabilities whose patterns of service use indicate lapses in needed services.
Missouri, 5 percent of their high risk, high need medicaid recipients (with mental health and substance use disorders) represented 93 percent of the costs for hospital readmissions of people considered to have had conditions that would be responsive to outpatient services.
> Single Points of Accountability - address weaknesses in uncoordinated fee for service care and in care provided by health plans, keeping these most-at-risk individuals engaged in care or connecting them to treatment again when they become disconnected.

Executive Leadership continued…
> Same Day Access> Integration not Co-location> Early Intervention> Health Information Technology> Social Media - As more consumers turn to web-based
tools to evaluate their health care options, you and your organizations need to develop a strategy for how to incorporate social media into marketing and communication plans, outreach, and treatment.
www.TheNationalCouncil.org
Consumers and FamiliesParity - According to a Dec. 2010 American Psychological
Association (APA) survey, only 10 percent of Americans have even heard of the law, 29 percent don't know whether their existing mental-health benefits are adequate, and 45 percent don't know whether their insurance companies reimburse them for such services.
> Plans may not apply financial requirement or treatment limitation to mental health or substance use benefits more restrictive than financial requirement or limitation for medical/surgical benefitsExamples: If in-network medical/surgical benefits are subject to $15 copay then no in-network MH/SUD can be subject to a copay greater than $15; combined deductible - separate deductibles not allowed

Consumers and FamiliesWhat Health Care Reform Provisions Are "Live"?> Expanded coverage for young adults > Elimination of coverage exclusions for children with
preexisting conditions > Expansion of annual coverage limits and prohibitions on
rescinding coverage > Standardization of a process for appealing coverage
determinations with insurers> Free preventative care for seniors through Medicare> Prescription drug savings for seniors through Medicare Part D> Additional care coordination for Medicare beneficiaries after
being discharged from the hospital health > Insurers must spend 85 percent of every dollar paid in
premiums on the cost of direct care and quality improvement
www.TheNationalCouncil.org
Consumers and Families
> Consumer “Zagat” Ratings - Consumer attitudes and perceptions count more and more and there is disproportionate patient dissatisfaction in New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania—with more satisfied patients in Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, and North and South Dakota.
