1 TennCare Redetermination Tennessee Primary Care Association s Open Enrollment 4 Webinar Thursday, October 27, 2016 Tennessee Justice Center 301 Charlotte Ave Nashville, TN,
2 A Rose is a Rose is a Rose Gertrude Stein Redeterminations = Renewals = Reverifications = Recertifications 2 10/27/2016
3 Periodic Redetermination of Medicaid Eligibility By federal law, all Medicaid (TennCare) enrollees must have their eligibility redetermined every 12 months. 42 CFR (a) and (b) 3 10/27/2016
4 The State is Required to Extend coverage for all enrollees whose current eligibility can be determined by review of records already available to the state. ( Ex parte review ) Afford enrollees an opportunity to provide any missing information or documentation. Provide assistance in person & by phone. Assess enrollees eligibility in all open categories of TennCare. 4 10/27/2016
5 The State is Required to If ineligible for TennCare, determine eligibility for other insurance affordability programs (CoverKids, PTCs, CSRs). Electronically transfer files to the Marketplace for those determined eligible for other insurance affordability programs. Notify enrollees of the state s determination. 5 10/27/2016
6 The Enrollee is Required to Keep TennCare informed of any changes in contact information. Report changes in income and/or household composition. Fill out and return redetermination packets within 40 days. Provide supporting documentation, as requested by the state. 6 10/27/2016
7 Reconsideration (iii) Reconsider in a timely manner the eligibility of an individual who is terminated for failure to submit the renewal form or necessary information, if the individual subsequently submits the renewal form within 90 days after the date of termination, or a longer period elected by the State, without requiring a new application. 42 CFR (a) 7 10/27/2016
8 TennCare s Redetermination Process 8 10/27/2016
9 Three Phases Phase 1: SNAP match (May & September 2015) Phase 2: confirmation mailing (October-December 2015) Phase 3: renewal packet (December 2015, January 2016, & present) 9 10/27/2016
10 Phase 3 December 2015: Pilot group of 10,000 June 2016: Process resumed February 2016: Redetermination halted Now: Redetermination of 100,000+ people 10 10/27/2016
11 Challenges in Completing the Renewal Packet 11 10/27/2016
12 Six Challenges: 1. Extensive requests for information 2. Enrollees may not receive the redetermination packet 3. Individualized barcodes on packets 4. Eligible immigration statuses 5. Resources/assets 6. Enrollees may fail to take timely action 12 10/27/2016
13 Challenge 1: Extensive requests for information 13 10/27/2016
14 Renewal Packet The state still lacks a functioning computer system for determining eligibility. TennCare is mailing massive 98-page Renewal Packets to families to complete and return. Not pre-populated with information already available to the state. Example Renewal Packet : chments/examplerenewalpacket.pdf 14 10/27/2016
15 What s in the 98-page packet? English version 47 pages Notice (includes deadline for returning packet) 3 pages Renewal Packet 13 pages Appendix A (screening for some non- MAGI categories) 4 pages Appendix B (for American Indian or Alaska Native family members) 1 page Instruction packet 26 pages Spanish version 48 pages Do You Need Special Help? (English and Spanish) 2 pages Other languages 1 page 15 10/27/2016
16 LTSS Renewal Packet Long-Term Services and Supports (LTSS) redetermination packets are 119 pages. The state said they resumed LTSS redeterminations in August. Example LTSS Renewal Packet : attachments/exampleltssrenewalpacket.pdf 16 10/27/2016
17 Challenge 2: Enrollees May Not Receive the Redetermination Packet 17 10/27/2016
18 Enrollees May Not Receive the Redetermination Packet Census Bureau s research shows that at least one third of enrollees are likely to have moved since their eligibility was last determined. Even if they reported a change in address, they can t be sure the new address made its way into the system /27/2016
19 Change of Address Form TennCare Change of Address Reporting Form English: ts/changeofaddressform.pdf Spanish: ts/changeofaddressformsp.pdf TJC recommends reporting changes by fax ( ) and saving fax receipt /27/2016
20 Was I supposed to get a packet? 1. Call Tennessee Health Connection (TNHC) at and ask what address they have on file. Update address if needed. 2. Ask TNHC if you were supposed to get a redetermination packet. 3. If yes, request that TNHC sends you a new redetermination packet. 4. Record date, time, & the name of the TNHC representative whom you spoke to /27/2016
21 Challenge 3: Individualized Barcodes 21 10/27/2016
22 Individualized Barcode Barcode on bottom, left-hand side is unique to each renewal packet & on every page /27/2016
23 Individualized Barcode Circled language is potentially misleading: can only use packet for the people to whom the packet was addressed, whether or not their coverage is ended. Renewal Packet, page 1 of /27/2016
24 Do NOT make copies of the redetermination packet for other people to use /27/2016
25 What if multiple family members receive a redetermination packet? Each family member who receives a redetermination packet must fill it out in its entirety. If some family members get a packet and others do not, call Tennessee Health Connection (TNHC) at Verify address for all family members. Ask who was supposed to receive the packet. If someone was supposed to receive a packet but didn t, ask TNHC to send another one. Record date, time, & the name of the TNHC representative whom you spoke to /27/2016
26 Challenge 4: Eligible Immigration Statuses 26 10/27/2016

35 Resources: Property No designation of homestead Homestead Appendix A, Page 3 of /27/2016
36 Challenge 6: Enrollees May Fail to Take Timely Action 36 10/27/2016
37 Timeframes 40 days to fill out and return the redetermination packet. Failure submit packet or document eligibility will result in termination of TennCare. Save fax receipt, OR request certified mail receipt 10 days to respond to request for more information /27/2016
38 Continuation of benefits during appeal 10 days from notice of termination to request an appeal with continuation of benefits. (Save fax receipt or certified mail receipt!) /RequestWilsonHearingForm.pdf 38 10/27/2016
39 Continuation of benefits 39 10/27/2016
40 What if an enrollee doesn t return the packet in 40 days? The termination notice informs the individual they have 20 days to respond by submitting a completed redetermination packet. But individual can return the completed redetermination packet within 90 days to be reinstated. If approved during those 90 days, coverage will be reinstated with no gap /27/2016
41 WARNING! TennCare has sent termination notices to people who were included in the December and January redetermination mailings and who did not respond to the packet /27/2016
42 How can an enrollee get help with the Renewal Packet? 42 10/27/2016
43 Resources/Assistance This year s redetermination process looks different than in previous years. Enrollees do not have a case worker they can contact /27/2016
44 Resources/Assistance Renewal Packet, page 11 of /27/2016
45 Resources/Assistance 45 10/27/2016
46 Resources/Assistance 46 10/27/2016
47 Gap-Filling Rule 47 10/27/2016
48 Gap-Filling Rule (i) If the household income of an individual determined in accordance with this section results in financial ineligibility for Medicaid and the household income of such individual determined in accordance with 26 CFR 1.36B- 1(e) is below 100 percent FPL, Medicaid financial eligibility will be determined in accordance with 26 CFR 1.36B-1(e). 42 CFR (i) 48 10/27/2016
49 Gap-Filling Rule Why: Because eligibility for TennCare and premium tax credits use different methodologies, the same income can be computed differently for different insurance affordability programs. Household composition varies as well. Purpose: To keep you from losing TennCare due to an income calculation that makes you ineligible for premium tax credits. Effect: Seamless eligibility for insurance affordability programs /27/2016
50 Gap-Filling Rule Flowchart Yes Categorically eligible under MAGI? No Yes Eligible monthly income? No Not eligible Apply for TennCare! Projected annual household income below 100% FPL? Yes Eligible under gapfilling rule No Not eligible 50 10/27/2016
51 Screening for the Gap-Filling Rule 1. Is the person currently categorically eligible in a MAGI category? 2. If yes, does their monthly income make them eligible for TennCare? 3. If no, is the person s projected household yearly income below 100% FPL? 4. If yes, the person remains eligible for TennCare under the Gap-Filling rule /27/2016
52 How to Apply the Gap-Filling Rule 1. Return the redetermination packet. Provide supplemental income documents and a letter explaining that the enrollee is eligible under the Gap-Filling Rule. Save proof of sending. 2. If the person s TennCare is terminated, file an appeal and ask for continuation of benefits (COB). Say they are eligible under the Gap-Filling Rule. ( hments/requestwilsonhearingform.pdf) 3. Call TJC! ( or ) 52 10/27/2016
53 Recap: Gap-Filling Rule If the individual 1. Meets the categorical requirement for MAGI (e.g. parent/caretaker relative, children), AND 2. Has annualized income below 100% FPL THEN they maintain TennCare eligibility, even though their monthly income is too high /27/2016
54 Main Takeaways 54 10/27/2016
55 Main Takeaways Contact Tennessee Health Connection to make sure they have the correct address on file, and report any changes. If you have not received a packet, ask Tennessee Health Connection if you were due to receive one. Make copies of all documents you send to TennCare, and ask the post office for proof of mailing /27/2016
56 Main Takeaways Failure to return the packet or respond to request for additional information will lead to loss of coverage. Packets are complex and difficult to complete. The packets fail to capture information needed to ensure that people who are eligible retain their coverage. There is much greater need for help in this process than in applying for coverage on the Marketplace /27/2016
57 Main Takeaways Document everything! Complete and return all forms by the deadlines. If you cannot meet a deadline, send what you have and ask for more time to send the rest. If terminated, appeal with continuation of benefits within 10 days of the termination notice. If an enrollee has a disability, call Tennessee Health Connection and tell them. Ask them for help completing the forms. Keep a record of the call /27/2016
