1 TO: Health and Human Services Commission Council DATE: May 23, 2014 FROM: Shannon Pickett, Medical Transportation Program SUBJECT: Agenda Item 5.d. - Delivery of Non-emergency Medical Transportation Services BACKGROUND: Federal Requirement Legislative Requirement Other The Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) proposes to amend Title 1, Part 15, Chapter 380, Medical Transportation Program (MTP). The Medical Transportation Program (MTP) provides nonemergency medical transportation services to Medicaid clients and those served by the Children with Special Health Care Needs services program and the Transportation for Indigent Cancer Patients program. MTP services are currently delivered across the state under two delivery models: a full risk broker (FRB) capitation model and a state-authorized Transportation Service Area Provider fee-for-service model (TSAP). The FRB model operates in the greater Dallas / Ft. Worth and greater Houston areas; the TSAP model operates in the remainder of the state. Senate Bill (S.B.) 8, 83rd Legislature, Regular Session, 2013, added Section to the Government Code, which requires HHSC to provide MTP services on a regional basis through managed transportation organizations (MTOs). The proposed amendments and new rules define the term managed transportation organization and specify requirements of participation in the MTP as required by S.B. 8. In addition, the amended rules update references to agencies, delete obsolete citations and definitions, and update language to reflect current policy for the MTP. ISSUES AND ALTERNATIVES: There are no issues or alternatives for consideration. STAKEHOLDER INVOLVEMENT: Stakeholders will have an opportunity to comment during the MCAC meeting, the HHSC Council meeting on May 23, 2014, a public hearing on May 28, 2014, and during the 30-day public comment period that ends on June 1,2 FISCAL IMPACT: None (if no, delete the table below) Yes (if yes, complete the table below) Cost Savings: SFY 2015 SFY 2016 SFY 2017 SFY 2018 SFY 2019 State $13,654,375 $14,341,766 $15,038,923 $15,802,450 $16,197,352 Federal $18,933,632 $19,845,995 $20,810,716 $21,867,275 $22,413,737 Total $32,588,007 $34,187,761 $35,849,639 $37,669,725 $38,611,089 SERVICES IMPACT STATEMENT: Describe the proposed rule s impact on the HHSC client population.

HHSC also proposes new concerning Program Services. Background and Justification The Medical Transportation Program (MTP) provides nonemergency medical transportation services to Medicaid clients and those served by the Children with Special Health Care Needs services program and the Transportation for Indigent Cancer Patients program. MTP services are currently delivered across the state under two delivery models: a full risk broker (FRB) capitated rate model and a Transportation Service Area Provider (TSAP) fee-for-service model. Senate Bill (S.B.) 8, 83rd Legislature, Regular Session, 2013, added Section to the Government Code, which requires HHSC to provide MTP services on a regional basis through Managed Transportation Organizations (MTOs). The proposed new and amended rules define the term managed transportation organization and specify requirements of participation in the MTP as required by S.B. 8. In addition, the amended rules update references to agencies, delete obsolete citations and definitions, and update language to reflect current policies of the MTP. 34 Section-by-Section Summary Proposed amended adds new definitions for: accident, covered health care service, demand response, long distance trip, managed transportation organization, nonemergency ambulance transportation services, performing provider, significant traditional provider, and transportation provider. The amendment also deletes obsolete definitions and clarifies existing definitions. Proposed amended clarifies that HHSC determines eligibility for the Transportation for Indigent Cancer Patients program and updates language. Proposed amended describes services provided under the MTP. Proposed amended retitles the section Program Requirements and updates the rule to reflect current requirements in policy. Proposed amended updates the rule to update references, removes language relating to rates paid to Individual Transportation Participants (ITPs), clarifies existing reporting requirements related to accidents, and requires transportation providers to attempt to contract with significant traditional providers. Proposed amended updates language and clarifies the text to reflect current policy. Proposed amended removes redundant language relating to individuals not eligible for MTP services, removes language relating to retroactive reimbursement, and removes language relating to program services which were moved and consolidated in , Program Services. Proposed amended clarifies language relating to client rights to appeal denial of services, and updates language relating to reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses for meals and lodging when not prior authorized. Proposed amended retitles the section Individual Transportation Participant Requirements, identifies situations in which Individual Transportation Participants may be required to complete validation processes, and updates language. Proposed amended retitles the subchapter Regional Contracted Brokers or Managed Transportation Organizations, adds an MTO as an entity that must adhere to the standards for motor vehicles, and updates outdated language. Proposed amended updates language related to criminal records information of motor vehicle operators. The proposed amended rules include other technical corrections and non-substantive changes throughout to make the rule more understandable. Fiscal Note Greta Rymal, Deputy Executive Commissioner for Financial Services, has determined that during the first 5-year period the proposed amendments and new rules are in effect, there will be a fiscal impact of cost savings to state government. The expected cost savings are $13,654,375 General Revenue (GR) ($32,588,007 All Funds (AF)) for State Fiscal Year (SFY) 2015, $14,341,766 GR ($34,187,761 AF) for SFY 2016, $15,038,923 GR ($35,849,639 AF) for SFY 45 2017, $15,802,450 GR ($37,669,725 AF) for SFY 2018 and $16,197,352 GR ($38,611,089 AF) for SFY There may be a fiscal impact on local governments. In S.B. 8, MTOs were defined to include rural or urban transit districts and public transportation providers. HHSC currently contracts with some such entities under the program, and may continue to contract with those or others under the new delivery model. The rate negotiated between the MTO and their contracted providers will not be within the scope of these rules. Therefore, HHSC lacks sufficient data to determine a fiscal impact to local governments at this time. Ms. Rymal has also determined that there are no anticipated costs to persons required to comply with these rules and there is no anticipated adverse impact on local employment. Small and Micro-business Impact Analysis Ms. Rymal has also determined that there will be no adverse effect on small businesses or microbusinesses as a result of enforcing or administering the proposed amendments and new rules. HHSC currently contracts with transportation service area providers. The entities in turn subcontract with entities that may include small businesses or micro-businesses. Under the new capitated model, HHSC will contract with MTOs who may again in turn sub-contract with entities that may include small businesses or micro-businesses. The rate negotiated between the MTO and their contracted providers, if any, is not within the scope of these rules. Public Benefit Chris Traylor, Chief Deputy Commissioner, has determined that, for each year of the first five years the proposed amendments and new rules are in effect, the public will benefit from the adoption of the rules through the assurance of safe and efficient nonemergency medical transportation under the MTP. Regulatory Analysis HHSC has determined that this proposal is not a "major environmental rule" as defined by of the Texas Government Code. A "major environmental rule" is defined to mean a rule the specific intent of which is to protect the environment or reduce risk to human health from environmental exposure and that may adversely affect, in a material way, the economy, a sector of the economy, productivity, competition, jobs, the environment or the public health and safety of a state or a sector of the state. This proposal is not specifically intended to protect the environment or reduce risks to human health from environmental exposure Takings Impact Assessment HHSC has determined that this proposal does not restrict or limit an owner's right to his or her private real property that would otherwise exist in the absence of government action and, therefore, does not constitute a taking under of the Texas Government Code. 56 Public Comment Written comments on the proposal may be submitted to Jimmy Charney, Manager of Policy Development, Medical Transportation Program, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, mail code M0209, P.O. Box , Austin, Texas 78703; by fax to (512) ; or by e- mail at within 30 days of publication of this proposal in the Texas Register. Public Hearing A public hearing is scheduled for May 28, 2014, starting at 10 a.m. (central time) in the Public Hearing Room, Brown-Heatly State Office Building, 4900 North Lamar, Austin, Texas, Persons requiring further information, special assistance, or accommodations should contact Sallie Allen at (512) Statutory Authority These amendments are proposed under Texas Government Code , which provides the Executive Commissioner of HHSC with broad rulemaking authority; and Texas Human Resources Code and Texas Government Code (a), which provide HHSC with the authority to administer the federal medical assistance (Medicaid) program in Texas. The proposed amendments affect Texas Human Resources Code Chapter 32 and Texas Government Code Chapter 531. No other statutes, articles, or codes are affected by this proposal. This agency hereby certifies that this proposal has been reviewed and approved by legal counsel and found to be within the agency s legal authority to adopt. 67 Legend: Single Underline = Proposed new language [Strikethrough and brackets] = Current language proposed for deletion Regular print = Current language (No change.) = No changes are being considered for the designated subdivision.
