Tailored Care Management Data Updates
NC Medicaid is releasing updates for Tailored Care Management data system guidance as the department continues preparing for launch of the Behavioral Health and Intellectual/Developmental Disability (I/DD) Tailored Plan.

Data Strategy Questions and Answers
In September 2019, the Department released “North Carolina’s Data Strategy for Tailored Care Management,” a policy paper describing how Behavioral Health I/DD Tailored Plans, Advanced Medical Home Plus (AMH+) Practices and Care Management Agencies (CMAs) supporting Tailored Care Management will be expected to use data and information to fulfill their care management responsibilities. It included details on:
  • Types of data to be received, generated, collected and/or transmitted;
  • Triggers, formats and methods for exchange;
  • Data security and privacy standards; and
  • Data sharing oversight and accountability expectations.

In response to the public comments the Department received on the paper, the Department published Questions and Answers (Q&A) that provide a high-level summary of Tailored Care Management data- and system-related requirements across several key areas for stakeholder consideration. 

Care Management Data System Guidance
Advanced Medical Home Plus (AMH+) Practices, Care Management Agencies (CMAs) and other organizations providing Tailored Care Management will be required to have care management platforms – or “data systems” – that allow care managers to understand who their assigned populations are, document and monitor member care needs, and respond as those needs change.

The Care Management Data System Guidance document describes the features and capabilities that are required for care management data systems as well as the pathways by which AMH+ Practices and CMAs may satisfy the care management data system requirement.
The full data exchange and use requirements for Behavioral Health I/DD Tailored Plans, AMH+ Practices, and CMAs can be found in the Tailored Care Management Provider Manual and the Behavioral Health I/DD Tailored Plan Request for Applications (RFA).

More information can be found on the Tailored Care Management web page.

NC Medicaid Managed Care Update Including Provider Claims & Prior Authorization Fact Sheets
With the launch of NC Medicaid Managed Care on July 1, 2021, NC Medicaid is providing updated guidance for Medicaid providers on a variety of topics around provider claims, prior authorizations, provider contracting and other topics. Updates include Managed Care Claims and Prior Authorization Submission Fact Sheets that give Claims Submission Guidelines and Resources (Part 1) and Frequently Asked Questions and a PHP Claims Schedule (Part 2). These Fact Sheets are posted in the Provider Playbook.  
 
Please reference the Medicaid Bulletin posted July 9, 2021 for detailed information.  

Updated - Hospital Procedure Continuity at NC Medicaid Managed Care Launch

Additional Information on Prior Authorization Now Available
 
NCDHHS has continued to receive feedback from NC Medicaid providers indicating confusion about prior authorization requirements during the state’s transition to NC Medicaid Managed Care. The Department shared this feedback with the prepaid health plans (PHPs). In response to these concerns, the PHPs will implement the following solution during the first 60 days after managed care launch to ensure beneficiaries continue to have access to services during this transition without unnecessary interruption.
 
  1. Between July 1 and Aug. 30, 2021, medically necessary services that normally require prior authorization will still be reimbursed at 100% of the NC Medicaid fee-for-service rate for both in- and out-of-network providers. To ensure that providers fully understand each PHP’s prior authorization requirements during the transition, the PHPs will still process and pay for these services if:
  2. a provider fails to submit prior authorization prior to the service being provided and submits prior authorization after the date of service, or
  3. a provider submits for retroactive prior authorizations.
This exception does not apply to concurrent reviews for inpatient hospitalizations which should still occur during this time period.
  1. Beginning Aug. 31, 2021, the PHP may deny payment for services that require prior authorization. For in-network providers this will apply to those services that normally require prior authorization. Out-of-network providers will need to seek authorizations for all services. 
  2. The Department expects all providers to maintain scheduled medical care for beneficiaries through this transition.
  3. The Department expects the PHPs and providers to continue to work to resolve any outstanding contracting barriers during this time to mitigate out-of-network challenges.
 
 
Note: This update replaces the July 1, 2021 bulletin Hospital Procedure Continuity at NC Medicaid Managed Care Launch.

CORRECTED-Joint Communication Bulletin J397 - Electronic Visit Verification Guidance Document
This Joint Communication Bulletin provides an updated Electronic Visit Verification (EVV) Guidance Document that includes updated code information and assumptions around EVV, a clarification around codes for Live-In Caregivers and a clarification around Transitional Living Supports. The EVV Guidance Document can also be found at NC Medicaid’s EVV Webpage at: https://medicaid.ncdhhs.gov/providers/programs-and-services/long-term-care/electronic-visit-verification.

NC Spending Plan for American Rescue Plan Act of 2021
NCDHHS is committed to supporting North Carolinians who want to live in a home or community setting rather than a facility. The American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (Section 9817) enables NC Medicaid to receive additional funding for its Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) programs.  
 
Today, Medicaid submitted its “North Carolina Spending Plan for the Implementation of the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021” to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) for review and approval. This funding provided by this plan will strengthen, enhance and expand the current HCBS programs to address the growing senior population and the significant need for more direct care workers to provide services. 
 
Over the last two months, NCDHHS reached out to community members and HCBS leaders for assistance drafting this plan. Hundreds of comments were submitted or were given as part of community meetings. These comments informed the plan and were incorporated into the policies outlined in the final spending document. 
 
North Carolina provides HCBS through a variety of programs, including the Program of All-inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE), NC Innovations Waiver, and Community Alternatives Plans (CAP) for children (CAP/C) and adults with disabilities (CAP/DA).  
  
Once our HCBS plan is approved, we are committed to working quickly with CMS to implement these changes. More information about the various HCBS programs is available on the NC Medicaid website. 

Health Equity Payment Initiative Survey Reminder
All Carolina Access Providers who received health equity payments are asked to take 5-10 minutes to complete this survey by July 16, 2021. The survey allows DHHS to monitor and evaluate how these payments were used.

Practices receiving enhanced payments must complete a practice survey following this health equity initiative; failure to complete the survey may result in NC DHHS recouping payments.

In March of 2021, NC Medicaid announced the health equity payment initiative, providing certain Carolina Access providers serving Medicaid beneficiaries from high poverty areas of the State enhanced payments for a 3-month period to achieve health equity among North Carolina’s Medicaid population.

The initiative aimed to improve access to primary care and preventive services for Medicaid and NC Health Choice beneficiaries in North Carolina at a time when historically marginalized populations face challenges highlighted during the COVID-19 public health emergency.

HCBS Stakeholder Updates
  • HCBS Database
  • To support providers completing assessments, ‘Facility Type’ drop-down options have been streamlined to auto-populate based on the service selected.
  • This will allow providers to select the facility type from a list of only those that would apply to the service.
  • All post-uplift requests for database updates have been completed, tested by the HCBS Internal Team, and moved to the production site. This includes:
  • Shared Assessments (between LME-MCOs): date/timestamp tracking on assessment history page and highlighting assessment on review all page.
  • Saved, Not Submitted Assessments: Adding assessment history page and date/timestamp tracking of reminder emails.
  • New items being explored:
  •  An option to mass archive
  • Notification of preexisting duplicate information when an assessment is being completed
  • MIE Survey History Page
  • DHHS HCBS Website
  • The HCBS Internal Team has continued to review and make any necessary updates to the HCBS Webpage. Recent efforts include:
  • All HCBS-specific pages have been reviewed to ensure content is the most up-to-date.
  • HCBS Standard Operation Procedures Manual & Guidance has been updated to the most recent version on the HCBS Resources page.
  • All static links on the HCBS Provider Self-Assessment page and the Survey: My Individual Experience page have been updated to align with database uplift.
  • The HCBS Validation Look-Behind PowerPoint slides presented to all LME-MCOs and CAP-DA in August 2020 has been added to the HCBS Resources page.
  • HCBS Validation
  • North Carolina is currently 70.29% validated statewide.
  • In collaboration with LME-MCOs and CAP-DA, the DHHS HCBS Internal Team is reviewing progress and next steps to ensure NC timelines align with CMS timelines for states to demonstrate that their existing HCBS settings comply with the settings rule, despite delays due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
  • DHHS HCBS Validation Look-Behind
  • Quarter 1: CLOSED
  • Quarter 2: In process
  •  4 LME-MCOs OPEN
  •  2 LME-MCOs CLOSED
  • 1 LME-MCO and CAP-DA N/A (no sample sites selected)
  • Quarter 3: In process
  • 7 LME-MCOs OPEN
  •  CAP-DA OPEN
  • Quarter 4: List of sample sites as well as needed replacements sites will be generated following the close of Quarter 2 and Quarter 3.
  • Heightened Scrutiny
  • The NC DHHS HCBS Internal Team continues to complete its internal heightened scrutiny process to determine if any sites will need to be sent to CMS for further review.
  • Currently, special attention is being given to ‘clustered’ settings (i.e. sites that are neighboring or adjacent) that have the potential of isolating individuals receiving Medicaid HCBS from the broader community of individuals not receiving Medicaid HCBS. To date, no sites have been submitted to CMS for heightened scrutiny.

Update to NCTracks NPI Authorization Code Request Process
To prevent unauthorized users from accessing the NCTracks Provider Record without provisioning, we are implementing a new process for requesting an NPI authorization code. Previously, providers were able to receive the authorization code associated with an NPI, which is required to complete the Currently Enrolled Provider (CEP) Registration process and OA Change process, by calling the NCTracks Call Center and giving the NPI and Employer Identification Number (EIN) or Social Security Number (SSN). 

There is now a new process with enhanced security features for providers to receive the authorization code. This new process may also be used if the provider received an authorization code and the system stated the authorization code and NPI combination is invalid.

In order to request the authorization code associated with an NPI, providers should call the NCTracks Call Center (800-688-6696) prepared to offer the following information, which is used to verify the caller’s identity and relationship to an NCTracks provider:

  • Full name
  • Contact phone number
  • Their NCID
  • Their role with their employer
  • Their employer’s NPI
  • The name and phone number of another person with a managing relationship under their employer’s NPI
  • Employer’s last Remittance Advice (RA) date and check amount 

The caller must also provide the following data items relating to the NCTracks provider they are requesting the authorization code for:

  • NPI related to the authorization code being requested
  • Reason for requesting the authorization code

Additionally, per the NPI type, the caller must also supply the following:

  • Individual NPI: the SSN, date of birth and two items from the list below: 
  • Taxonomy code from the record
  • Provider license or certification number
  • Trading Partner name 
  • Affiliation name
  • Graduation date 
  • Board certification date
  • Organizational NPI: the EIN, last RA check amount and two items from the list below: 
  • Taxonomy code from the record
  • Organization license or certification number
  • Trading Partner name 
  • Affiliation name
  • Board certification date

Once the caller provides the required information, the NCTracks Call Center Agent will document and send a request to the Provider Relations Team. The Provider Relations Team will review and validate the information provided by the caller. The agent will then call the Managing Relationship(s) if the NPI relates to an organization. Once all information is verified, the Provider Relations team will contact the original caller with the authorization code details.

Adding Billing, Rendering and Attending Provider Taxonomy to Professional and Institutional EDI Claims
 
Health plans have identified a common billing error of providers submitting professional and institutional EDI claims (ASC X12 837-P and ASC X12 837-I) with missing or invalid billing provider, rendering provider and attending provider taxonomy codes. 
 
When billing NC Medicaid Direct claims, providers may have directed clearinghouses to append billing provider, rendering provider, or attending provider taxonomy codes to the claims. This process may not have been established for NC Medicaid Managed Care claims being submitted to the prepaid health plans (PHPs), causing these claims to deny for missing or invalid taxonomies.
 
More information is available in the Medicaid provider bulletin here.
  
Reminder: Health Equity Payment - Survey Deadline Friday
 
All Carolina Access Providers who received health equity payments are asked to take 5-10 minutes to complete this survey by Friday, July 16, 2021. The survey allows DHHS to monitor and evaluate how these payments were used. Practices receiving enhanced payments must complete a practice survey following this health equity initiative; failure to complete the survey may result in NC DHHS recouping payments.
 
 
New SPECIAL BULLETIN COVID-19 #172 Now Available
The NC Division of Health Benefits (DHB) has recently published a new Medicaid Bulletin articles related to COVID-19:
 
SPECIAL BULLETIN COVID-19 #172: Legislation Reinstates Previously Waived Requirements 
Effective July 29, 2021, Session Law 2021-62 (NC Senate Bill 594), repeals portions of the 2020 COVID-19 Recovery Act that permitted the temporary lifting of certain enrollment requirements for providers enrolling in NC Medicaid during the global healthcare emergency. More Information
 
Providers are encouraged to review this information. All bulletin articles, including those related to COVID-19, are available on DHB's Medicaid Bulletin webpage.  
 
New Medicaid Bulletin Articles Available as of July 15, 2021
The NC Division of Health Benefits (DHB) has recently published new Medicaid Bulletin articles:

  • Tailored Care Management Data Updates 
Providers are encouraged to review this information. All bulletin articles, including those related to COVID-19, are available on DHB's Medicaid Bulletin webpage.

Enrollment and Eligibility Updates Available in NCTracks

Effective July 1, 2021, enrollment and eligibility data was added to NCTracks for managed care (MC). The added information will allow authorized users to search the following:
  • MC Prepaid Health Plan (PHP) provider name
  • MC PHP provider contact information
  • MC Advance Medical Home (AMH) and primary care provider (PCP) name
  • MC AMH and PCP contact information
 
In addition to the changes made in the NCTracks portal, the corresponding 270/271 companion guide (located on the Trading Partner Information page) has been updated to reflect the additional information. Trading partners and providers are encouraged to review these important updates.

Common Billing Error - Taxonomy Codes Missing, Incorrect or Inactive
This is a reminder to include taxonomy codes when submitting claims to PHPs, either by individual providers or through a trading partner.
 
Similar to NCTracks, all PHP systems require taxonomy codes to be submitted on all claim types except pharmacy point of sale claims. When submitting claims to these systems, it is important that providers continue to submit the appropriate billing and, when applicable, rendering/attending taxonomy code which is expected to be consistent with the codes on their NCTracks provider record based on the service rendered and the rendering/attending provider location. Both the billing provider and the rendering provider have their own taxonomy codes on the claim.
 
Providers should verify that the submitted provider taxonomy code on the claim matches one of the active taxonomy codes listed on the NCTracks provider record and is appropriate for the claim being billed. Providers should validate the configuration of their own billing systems to ensure taxonomies are included when submitting claims to the PHPs.
The NCTracks How to view and update Taxonomy on the Provider Profile in NCTracks User Guide provides additional information on how to view and update taxonomy on the provider profile.  
 
Refer to the Managed Care Claims and Prior Authorizations Submission: Frequently Asked Questions – Part 2 fact sheet for additional information on what each PHP requires for claim submission. 

Prepaid Health Plan Information Added to NCTracks Automated Voice Response System
As part of recent NC Medicaid Managed Care updates, NCTracks accepts beneficiary enrollment and eligibility inquiries through the Automated Voice Response System (AVRS) which can be reached at 800-723-4330. The AVRS response includes the Prepaid Health Plan (PHP) name, contact information and the PHP assigned Primary Care Provider (PCP)/Advanced Medical Home (AMH). The response also includes a reminder that all care must be coordinated through the PHP.

To obtain PHP information via the AVRS:
  1. Dial 800-723-4330
  2. Press 1 to identify yourself as a provider
  3. Press 2 to request an eligibility inquiry
  4. The system will ask for the NPI. Enter the NPI, then press 1 to confirm it if correct
  5. Enter either a recipient ID or a recipient date of birth and social security number
  6. Enter a date of service 
  7. If the recipient is eligible for Medicaid Managed Care coverage, a message will play with the details of that plan

Effective July 1, 2021, an Explanation of Benefits (EOB) was added to NCTracks for pharmacy claims: EOB 2093 - SUBMIT CLAIM TO THE PHP FOR SERVICES INCLUDED IN THE MANAGED CARE PLAN.

This EOB is received when a pharmacy claim is denied due to the beneficiary being enrolled in Medicaid Managed Care. When a claim is denied for this cause, NCTracks will send the name of the Managed Care Plan that beneficiary is enrolled with, as well as information related to submitting pharmacy claims to that Managed Care Plan, on the pharmacy claim response transaction.

Mark Your Calendars!
The Blue Angels are Coming to Town!

From WNCT: 2021 MCAS Cherry Point Air Show will happen Sept. 25-26

MCAS CHERRY POINT (WNCT) — After being postponed in 2020 due to the coronavirus pandemic, Marine Corp Air Station Cherry Point officials announced Wednesday there will be a show in 2021.

At CherryPointAirShow.com on Wednesday, a notice was posted that the event will be held Sept. 25-26. It will be a daytime event that will feature the U.S. Navy Blue Angels for a grand finale on both days.

The notice states:
Call your family and friends and mark your calendars for eastern North Carolina’s biggest, baddest, fastest and loudest outdoor event September 25-26, 2021!

The commanding officer of Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point invites you to visit the Marine Corps’ largest air base for the 2021 MCAS Cherry Point Air Show, featuring the world’s top aviation aerobatic team, the U.S. Navy Blue Angels.

Saturday and Sunday will both have full day shows featuring a dizzying variety of military and civilian aerobatic demonstrations. You and your family will get up close and personal to dozens of historic and modern aircraft displays, as well as a wide array of military vehicles and equipment. The show will offer children’s activities, an outdoor recreational show and much more. Admission and parking are FREE. The air show narrator will talk you through a Marine Air Ground Task Force demonstration as air and ground Marine combat forces simulate an assault on enemy positions right in front of your eyes! Individual demonstrations, such as one by the Marine Corps’ AV-8B Harrier, will make it clear why the Marine Corps is the finest fighting force in the world.

As always, the U.S. Navy Blue Angels will provide the grand finale both days!

The 2020 air show was scheduled for May 1-3 before it was postponed last year. Cherry Point and Seymour Johnson Air Force Base in Goldsboro alternate having air shows at their bases each year. The Seymour Johnson event, dubbed the 2022 Wings Over Wayne Airshow, is still scheduled for April 30 and May 1, 2022 after being pushed back a year.

A good indication Cherry Point’s air show was returning happened earlier this week when Naval Air Station Oceana in Virginia Beach said its air show would happen Sept. 18-19.

This year is the 75th anniversary of the Blue Angels.
