Specialty Mental Health Care Coordination

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) is requiring IEHP and its IPAs to document and report the efforts made to coordinate the care of IEHP DualChoice (HMO D-SNP)  Members receiving specialty mental health services through the County Mental Health Plans.   As of June 1, 2018, IEHP has put policies and procedures in place to comply with these process and reporting requirements:

  1. On the first (1st) of each month, IEHP will provide IPAs and County MH Clinics a list of IEHP DualChoice (HMO D-SNP) Members known to be receiving specialty mental health services through the County MH Plans.
  2. IPAs are expected to outreach to these Members and their County MH Clinic Provider, as well as, document their outreach attempts and outcomes as outlined in Policy 25C2, “Care Management Requirements – Delegated IPA Responsibilities.”
  3. IPAs are required to provide data elements specific to this measure, as outlined in Policy 25F1, “Encounter Data Reporting - Medicare MMP Reporting Requirements – IEHP DualChoice (HMO D-SNP)" and Attachment, “Medicare Provider Reporting Requirements Schedule” in Section 25.
  4. IEHP, through its Delegation Oversight process, will monitor the IPAs’ compliance with documentation and reporting requirements, as outlined in Policy 25A2, “Delegation Oversight Audit.”

National LGBT Health Education Webinars

IEHP has put together a list of webinars, provided by a third party, to provide educational programs, resources, and consultation to health care organizations with the goal of optimizing quality, cost-effective health care for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and all sexual and gender minority (LGBT) people.

 

The National LGBT Health Education Center is part of the Division of Education and Training at The Fenway Institute, Fenway Health. The Fenway Institute (TFI) is an interdisciplinary center for research, training, education, and policy development that works to ensure access to quality, culturally affirming medical and mental health care for traditionally underserved communities, including LGBTQIA+ people and those affected by HIV/AIDS.

 

The mission of Fenway Health is to enhance the wellbeing of the LGBTQIA+ community as well as people in our neighborhoods and beyond through access to the highest quality health care, education, research, and advocacy. Fenway Health is one of the largest providers of LGBTQIA+ health care and HIV primary care in the country; as such, it is a leader in the field of LGBTQIA+ health and informs much of the promising practices and innovative models that the Education Center disseminates to health centers nationwide.
