California Duals: Curating Competitive D-SNP Offerings with GuidingCare Care Management Software

The healthcare landscape in California is undergoing a significant transformation as part of the California Advancing and Innovating Medi-Cal (CalAIM) initiative. A pivotal change involves the transition from Medicare-Medicaid Plans (MMPs) to Dual Eligible Special Needs Plans (D-SNPs). By 2026, health plans operating in California must make competitive D-SNP offerings available for those eligible for both Medicare and Medicaid coverage. The goal is to enhance integrated and coordinated care for dual-eligible member populations, who are among the highest-risk and have the most complex care needs.

These shifting regulations give health plans a huge opportunity to reach more members more effectively. In 2023 alone, 5.2 million individuals enrolled in a Medicare Advantage plan designed for dual-eligible individuals—a 13% increase from 2022. How is your organization preparing for these changes? And how can your vendors work with you to ease this transition?

What are the requirements of Dual Eligible Special Needs Plan (D-SNP) offerings?

D-SNPs are specialized Medicare Advantage plans designed to provide tailored health coverage for individuals eligible for both Medicare and Medicaid. Those who qualify for D-SNP plan coverage are among the most vulnerable member populations. Often, D-SNP members live in rural areas, are older than age 65, or have cognitive impairments.

As the administrative complexities surrounding D-SNPs increase, healthcare organizations must adapt to meet new requirements and ensure optimal care for this vulnerable population.

Use CalAIM Strategies to Inform D-SNP Offerings

Not sure where to start when it comes to competitive D-SNP offerings? For an example of effective strategies that support high-risk member populations, look at what payers are currently doing to support Medi-Cal members under CalAIM.

CalAIM initiatives fall into four categories: Shifting to Population Health Management, Standardized Managed Care Benefits, Mandatory Medi-Cal Managed Care Plan Enrollment for Dual-Eligibles, and Behavioral Health System Transformation. Understanding each of these areas can help your health plan get started on creating competitive D-SNP offerings that are effective and support members’ whole health.

A few strategies your health plan can leverage include:

  • Targeted interventions that are timely and relevant to members’ health needs
  • Use a multichannel communication approach that enables your plan to reach members where it’s most convenient them
  • Focus on improving the member experience by making healthcare and information more accessible

As new requirements emerge, payers will have to stay flexible so they can adapt to new demands and shifting member needs.

  • How Payment Integrity Innovation Helps Expand New Business Opportunities
  • Simplifying Value-Based Care Contracts & Reimbursements
  • Increase Member Engagement & Build Trust with Cost Transparency

Why member engagement matters

Member engagement goes beyond profit; it directly impacts health outcomes. Engaged members take a more active role in their healthcare, leading to better health outcomes and lower long-term costs for your plan.  However, factors such as inaccurate payments, lack of transparency, and delays can erode trust and disengage members.

Our recent webinar, “Empowering Modern Health Care Consumers,” highlights the importance of member satisfaction. We emphasize the critical role of payment accuracy and transparency in building member engagement. By offering clear explanations of benefits, coverage details, and out-of-pocket expenses, you enable members to make well-informed healthcare decisions. This not only reduces anxiety about surprise bills but also fosters collaboration, leading to a stronger partnership and better health outcomes.

Increase health plan efficiency to improve member relationships and engagement

Reduce clinician burnout from administrative overload

Clinicians are drowning in administrative tasks, leading to burnout and less time spent with patients. Every minute spent on paperwork steals valuable time from direct patient care, hindering the ability to deliver personalized and attentive care.

HealthEdge Source alleviates this burden for clinicians, creating a ripple effect of positive outcomes. Our solution automates essential claims and payment processes, freeing up time for clinical decision-making. By streamlining routine tasks and simplifying complex processes, we eliminate the need for time-consuming manual reviews. This allows clinicians to refocus their energy on what matters most—delivering high-quality patient care.

With more time dedicated to patients, improved communication and a more positive patient experience naturally follow. And reduced clinician burnout leads to lower turnover rates, saving on costly recruitment and training expenses.

Offer pricing transparency and easy access to information for members

Transparency in healthcare costs and coverage is a top priority for both your members and regulatory agencies including the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. Empowering your members with clear, accurate information is key to building trust and driving engagement.

Here’s how we help health plans achieve transparency:

  • Eliminate Surprise Billing: Our cloud-based system ensures accurate estimates upfront, preventing surprise bills and fostering trust from the beginning.
  • Real-Time Information Access: With 24/7 data access, your plan or any providers can proactively communicate coverage details and potential cost-saving options directly to members.

Cloud-based data delivery ensures that your plan has the most up-to-date and accurate content and regulatory updates, eliminating confusion and errors. Furthermore, cloud-based processing reduces wait times by streamlining claims and inquiries. Most importantly, the cloud provides a secure and scalable environment to protect member data and ensure smooth system performance even during peak demand.

Happy providers = Happy members

Building strong provider relationships is crucial for a health plan’s success. Happy providers lead to happy members, yielding better health outcomes and reducing long-term costs. Designed for true Payment Accountability, HealthEdge Source not only streamlines internal operations but also allows you to nurture these crucial relationships.

Traditional claim processing frustrates providers with errors and inconsistencies. Our Platform Access technology solves this issue by streamlining internal operations, ensuring accuracy, transparency, and comprehensive claims payments upstream in the adjudication process. Now you can transform your business, organize your data in a single place, address root cause issues, and pay claims right the first time.

With key features including:

  • Editing Library with History: Access historical data, parameters, and exceptions for edits, allowing for informed decision-making.
  • Custom Edit Builder: Tailor specific edits to meet your unique payment arrangements and cost-saving goals.
  • Real-Time Analytics: Gain valuable insights into performance metrics and the impact of edits on your claims process.

How HealthEdge Source™ Retroactive Change Management Approach Enhances Prospective Payment Integrity

Has your health plan ever processed claims for the month, only to be hit with a new regulation or a provider contract update? This frustrating cycle of retroactive changes is a consistent pain point for healthcare payers, causing delays, errors, and wasted time. Don’t make your team backtrack, re-evaluate claims, and scramble to adjust payments. HealthEdge Source™ offers a retroactive change management tool that ensures all adjustments are accurately tracked and implemented.

Leveraging Retroactive Change Management to Improve Payment Accuracy

Retroactive change management refers to the process of adjusting previously completed healthcare claims transactions to correct errors or reflect new information. For healthcare payers, this is essential for maintaining accuracy and compliance. HealthEdge Source solution incorporates retroactive change capabilities, helping healthcare payers to manage discrepancies and avoid financial losses.

The Costs of Making Retroactive Payment Changes

Throughout 2024 alone, experts anticipate over 600 changes to fee schedules, edits, and pricing logic. Updates to guidelines and regulations come from various sources, including:

  • Regulatory bodies (e.g., Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) updates, Medicaid rate changes)
  • Network contracts (e.g., modifications to provider agreements or payment policies)
  • Internal configurations (e.g., changes in fee schedules or other system configurations)

Retroactive changes can impact a health plan’s bottom line in a few ways. Delays in enacting these changes may result in overpayments to providers, leading to financial losses. Conversely, underpayments can strain relationships with providers and pose administrative burdens for your team. Both overpayments and underpayments can damage your health plan’s reputation and expose you to potential regulatory penalties.

Implementing a solution with retroactive change management capabilities can help payers improve:

  1. Accuracy: Ensures all payment adjustments are accurate and compliant.
  2. Efficiency: Streamlines the process of managing retroactive changes.
  3. Compliance: Keeps up with regulatory requirements by applying necessary changes retroactively.

Shift from a Reactive to Proactive Strategy

Manually managing retroactive changes is a time-consuming and error-prone process that diverts valuable resources away from other important tasks. The volume and complexity of retroactive changes can be overwhelming for staff. But health plans can mitigate manual roadblocks with a proactive approach to reimbursement management.

Here at HealthEdge, we understand the financial burden retroactive changes create. Our solution aims to reduce overpayments and underpayments and ensure claims are paid correctly—the first time. With our Retroactive Change Manager (RCM) tool, your team can spend less time finding, chasing, and collecting what’s already gone out the door.

HealthEdge Source™ Retroactive Change Manager

Last year, HealthEdge Source launched the first phase of the Retroactive Change Manager. The tool helps healthcare payers automate core tasks, such as flagging claims that will be automatically eligible for reconciliation upon delivery. Scheduled reviews save valuable time that would have been spent on manual searching.

Additionally, RCM users receive regular variance reports that detail all the claims impacted by retroactive changes, along with the exact adjustments needed. This comprehensive approach gives health plans a clear picture of financial exposure and eliminates guesswork. This initial rollout laid the foundation for a more proactive approach to managing reimbursements, saving time and money, and avoiding potential payment issues.

Latest Enhancements to the Retroactive Change Manager

The latest enhancements to the Retroactive Change Manager go beyond regulatory updates. They empower health plans with a range of features designed to streamline workflows and maximize financial security.

With new targeted analyses and streamlined operations, healthcare payers can:

  • View configuration updates within specific timeframes to focus analysis on impacted claims related to provider types or edits.
  • Receive timely email notifications and enhanced claim summary reports for a clear understanding of adjustments needed.
  • Enhance the user experience with increased performance and stability for smoother operations.

Leveraging the RCM directly translates to a healthier financial bottom line for health plans in three primary ways. First, it automatically recovers overpayments that might have been missed before. Second, faster and more accurate payments to providers lead to stronger relationships and fewer disputes—which can save time and administrative costs. Finally, the RCM keeps claims data organized and readily available, ensuring health plans are always audit-ready. This peace of mind allows payers to focus on strategic initiatives that drive organizational growth.

By shifting from a reactive to a proactive claims management approach, health plans can leverage a single system to identify and address retroactive changes. Imagine complete data sets analyzed automatically, underpayments identified and addressed proactively, and overpayments recovered internally. This not only saves time and money, but also fosters stronger provider relationships and ensures compliance. With fully incorporated industry changes and provider configurations healthcare payers can finally move from reactive adjustments to proactive control.
