        Enrollees that access to Emergency Services is not restricted and that Emergency
        Services may be obtained from a Non-Participating Provider without penalty.
        Nothing herein precludes the Contractor from entering into contracts with
        providers or facilities that require providers or facilities to provide
        notification to the Contractor after Enrollees present for Emergency Services
        and are subsequently stabilized. The Contractor must pay for services for
        Emergency Medical Conditions whether provided by a Participating Provider
        or a
        Non-Participating Provider, and may not deny payments for failure of the
        Emergency Services provider or Enrollee to give notice.

      Medicaid

      State
        2007 Amendment 

      K-13

       

      



      As
        described in Sections 10.9 and 10.18 of this Agreement, Enrollees may self-refer
        to Article 28 clinics'operated by academic dental centers to obtain covered
        dental services,

       

      If
        Contractor's Benefit Package excludes dental services:

       

      i)
        Enrollees may obtain routine exams, orthodontic services and appliances,
        dental
        office surgery, fillings, prophylaxis, and other Medicaid covered dental
        services from any qualified Medicaid provider who shall claim reimbursement
        from
        eMedNY; and

      ii)
        Inpatient and referred ambulatory claims for medical services provided in
        an
        inpatient or outpatient hospital setting in conjunction with a dental procedure
        (e.g. anesthesiology, x-rays), are the responsibility of the Contractor.
        In
        these situations, the professional services of the dentist are covered Medicaid
        fee-for-service.

       

      Non-Emergency Transportation
        (optional benefit outside of NYC)

       

      Transportation
        expenses are covered when transportation is essential in order for an Enrollee
        to obtain necessary medical care and services which are covered under the
        Medicaid program (either as part of the Contractor's Benefit Package or by
        fee-for-service Medicaid). Non-emergent transportation guidelines may be
        developed in conjunction with the LDSS, based on the LDSS' approved
        transportation plan.

       

      Transportation
        services means transportation by ambulance, ambulette, fixed wing or airplane
        transport, invalid coach, taxicab, livery, public transportation, or other
        means
        appropriate to the Enrollee's medical condition; and a transportation attendant
        to accompany the Enrollee, if necessary. Such services may include the
        transportation attendant's transportation, meals, lodging and salary; however,
        no salary will be paid to a transportation attendant who is a member of the
        Enrollee's family.

       

      When
        the
        Contractor is capitated for non-emergency transportation, the Contractor
        is also
        responsible for providing transportation for an Enrollee to obtain Medicaid
        covered services that are not part of the Contractor's Benefit
        Package.

       

      For
        Contractors that cover non-emergency transportation in the Medicaid Advantage
        Benefit Package, transportation costs to MMTP services may be reimbursed
        by
        Medicaid FFS in accordance with the LDSS transportation policies in local
        districts in which there is a systematic method to discretely identify and
        reimburse such transportation costs.

       

      For
        Enrollees with disabilities, the method of transportation must reasonably
        accommodate their needs, taking into account the severity and nature of the
        disability.

      DESCRIPTION
        OF NON-COVERED SERVICES

       

      The
        following services are excluded from the Contractor's Medicare and Medicaid
        Benefit Packages, and are covered, in most instances, by Medicare or Medicaid
        fee-for-service:

       

      1.
        Hospice Services Provided to Medicaid Advantage Enrollees

       

      Hospice
        services provided to Medicare Advantage Enrollees by Medicare approved hospice
        providers are directly reimbursed by Medicare. Hospice is a coordinated program
        of home and inpatient care that provides non-curative medical and support
        services for persons certified by a physician to be terminally ill with a
        life
        expectancy of six (6) months or less. Hospice programs provide patients and
        families with palliative and supportive care to meet the special needs arising
        out of physical, psychological, spiritual, social and economic stresses which
        are experienced during the final stages of illness and during dying and
        bereavement.

       

      Hospices
        are organizations which must be certified under Article 40 of the NYS P.H.L.
        and
        approved by Medicare. All services must be provided by qualified employees
        and
        volunteers of the hospice or by qualified staff through contractual arrangements
        to the extent permitted by federal and state requirements. All services must
        be
        provided according to a written plan of care which reflects the changing
        needs
        of the patient/family.

       

      If
        an
        Enrollee in the Contractor's plan becomes terminally ill and receives Hospice
        Program services, he or she may remain enrolled and continue to access the
        Contractor's Benefit Package while Hospice costs are paid for by Medicare
        fee-for-service.

       

      2.
        Other Services Deemed to be Covered by Original
        Medicare by CMS

       

      3.
        Personal Care Agency Services

       

      Personal
        care services (PCS) involve the provision of some or total assistance with
        personal hygiene, dressing and feeding and nutritional and environmental
        support
        (meal preparation and housekeeping). Such services must be essential to the
        maintenance of the Enrollee's health and safety in his or her own home. The
        services must be ordered by a physician, and there has to be a medical need
        for
        the services. Licensed home care services agencies, as opposed to certified
        home
        health agencies, are the primary providers of PCS. Enrollees receiving PCS
        must
        have a stable medical condition and are generally expected to be in receipt
        of
        such services for an extended period of time (years).

       

      Services
        rendered by a personal care agency which are approved by the LDSS are not
        covered under the Medicare or Medicaid Benefit Packages. Should it be medically
        necessary for the PCP to order personal care agency services, the PCP (or
        the
        Contractor on the physician's behalf) must first contact the Enrollee's LDSS
        contact person for personal care. The district will determine the Enrollee's
        need for personal care agency services and coordinate a plan of care with
        the
        personal care agency.

        Skilled Nursing Facility Days Not Covered by Medicare

       

      Skilled
        nursing facility days for Medicaid Advantage Enrollees in excess of the first
        one hundred (100) days in the benefit period are covered by Medicaid on a
        fee
        for service basis.

       

      5.
        Prescription Drugs Permitted by State Law, Certain Medical Supplies and Enteral
        Formulas Not Covered by Medicare

       

      NYS
        Medicaid continues to provide coverage for categories of drugs excluded from
        the
        Medicare Part D benefit such as barbiturates, benzodiazepines, and some
        prescription vitamins, and some non-prescription drugs. NYS also provides
        a wrap
        around program which covers medications that are included in the Part D benefit
        when the recipient is unable to receive them from his or her Part D plan.
        Effective January 1, 2007, drugs which are covered through this Medicaid
        wrap-around benefit will be limited to the following four categories of drugs:
        1) atypical antipsychotics, 2) antidepressants, 3) antiretrovirals used in
        the
        treatment of HTV/AIDS, and 4) anti-rejection drugs used in the treatment
        of
        tissue and organ transplants, but only when 1) these drugs are not covered
        by
        the specific plan, 2) the patient does not meet the plan's utilization
        management requirements, or 3) there are quantity limits inconsistent with
        the
        prescribed amount. Certain medical/surgical supplies and enteral formula
        covered
        by Medicaid and not included in the Contractor's Medicare Advantage Benefit
        Package also will be paid for by Medicaid fee-for-service. Medical/surgical
        supplies are items other than drugs, prosthetic or orthotic appliances, or
        DME,
        which have been ordered by a qualified practitioner in the treatment of a
        specific medical condition and which are: consumable, non-reusable, disposable,
        or for a specific rather than incidental purpose, and generally have no
        salvageable value (e.g. gauze pads, bandages and diapers). Pharmaceuticals
        and
        medical supplies routinely furnished or administered as part of a clinic
        or
        office visit are covered by the Contractor.

       

      6.
        Out of Network Family Planning Services

       

      As
        described in Sections 10.6 and 10.9 of this Agreement, out of network family
        planning services provided by qualified Medicaid providers to plan enrollees
        will be directly reimbursed by Medicaid fee-for-service at the Medicaid fee
        schedule. "Family Planning and Reproductive Health Services" means those
        health
        services which enable Enrollees, including minors who may be sexually active,
        to
        prevent or reduce the incidence of unwanted pregnancy. These
        include:

      diagnosis
        and all medically necessary treatment, sterilization, screening and treatment
        for sexually transmissible diseases and screening for disease and
        pregnancy.

       

      Also
        included are HP/ counseling and testing when provided as part of a family
        planning visit. Additionally, reproductive health care includes coverage
        of all
        medically necessary abortions. Elective induced abortions must be covered
        for
        New York City recipients. Fertility services are not covered.

        Comprehensive Medicaid Case
        Management (CMCM)

       

      A
        program
        which provides "social work" case management referral services to a targeted
        population (e.g.: teens, mentally ill). A CMCM case manager will assist a
        client
        in accessing necessary services in accordance with goals contained in a written
        case management plan. CMCM programs do not provide services directly, but
        refer
        to a wide range of service providers. The nature of these services include:
        medical, social, psycho-social, education, employment, financial, and mental
        health. CMCM referral to community service agencies and/or medical providers
        requires the case manager to work out a mutually agreeable case coordination
        approach with the agency/medical providers. Consequently, if an Enrollee
        of the
        Contractor is participating in a CMCM program, the Contractor should work
        collaboratively with the CMCM case manager to coordinate the provision of

        Directly Observed Therapy for Tuberculosis Disease

       

      Tuberculosis
        directly observed therapy (TB/DOT) is the direct observation of oral ingestion
        of TB medications to assure patient compliance with the physician's prescribed
        medication regimen. While the clinical management of tuberculosis is covered
        in
        the Benefit Package, TB/DOT where applicable, can be billed directly to MMIS
        by
        any SDOH approved fee-for-service Medicaid TB/DOT Provider. The Contractor
        remains responsible for communicating, cooperating and coordinating clinical
        management of TB with the TB/DOT Provider.

        AIDS Adult Day Health Care

       

      Adult
        Day
        Health Care Programs (ADHCP) are programs designed to assist individuals
        with
        HIV disease to live more independently in the community or eliminate the
        need
        for residential health care services. Registrants in ADHCP require a greater
        range of comprehensive health care services than can be provided in any single
        setting, but do not require the level of services provided in a residential
        health care setting. Regulations require that a person enrolled in an ADHCP
        must
        require at least three (3) hours of health care delivered on the basis of
        at
        least one (1) visit per week. While health care services are broadly defined
        in
        this setting to include general medical care, nursing care, medication
        management, nutritional services, rehabilitative services, and substance
        abuse
        and mental health services, the latter two (2) cannot be the sole reason
        for
        admission to the program. Admission criteria must include, at a minimum,
        the
        need for general medical care and nursing services.

        by a general hospital, or residential health care facility; and whose assessed
        social and health care needs, in the professional judgment of the physician
        of
        record, nursing staff, Social Services and other professional personnel of
        the
        adult day health care program can be met satisfactorily in whole or in part
