Folkemer Deputy Secretary Health Care Financing MD Department of Health and Mental Hygiene 201 West Preston Street, Suite 525 Baltimore, MD 21201 Dear Mr. Folkemer: Enclosed is a copy of the approved State Plan Amendment (SPA), Transmittal Number 10-09. This SPA implements Express Lane Eligibility for children, in which the Maryland Comptroller will identify through annual State income tax returns those families who are below 300 percent of the Federal Poverty Level and who indicate that their children do not have health insurance coverage. These families will initially receive simplified applications and eventually will have eligibility for Medicaid and the Maryland Children's Health Program determined through this process. We understand from our review of this SPA that using only a finding of residency is a first step towards implementing a more robust Express Lane Eligibility process that will eventually utilize a more efficient method of enrollment using income findings through an Interagency Agreement with the Maryland Comptroller. We will continue to work with your staff to ensure that Maryland can realize a more efficient Express Lane Eligibility process that can provide health care to its eligible but not enrolled children. The effective date for this amendment is April1 , 2010. The signed CMS Form 179 and the approved State Plan pages are enclosed. If you have questions about this SPA, please contact Rosemary Feild at 215-861-4278.

ATTACHMENT 4.32-A Page I State Plan Under Title XIX Of The Social Security Act State: Maryland TNCOME AND ELIGIBILITY VERIFICATION SYSTEM PROCEDURES REQUESTS TO OTHER STATE AGENCIES A description of the system used hy Maryland State Agency is listed below: Maryland has been a member of the PARIS Project every quartef sincc August 1999. Using the Social Security Number of recipients as the key, the match process compares benefit payouts made by States for TANF (TCA), SNAP (known in Maryland as Food Supplement Program (FSP) and MA against various databases. There arc three pmts of the PARIS data match proccss. The Veterans Administration (VA) database match determines ifan individual is collecting V A benefits. The Interstate match compares participating Stales data against eaeh other and determines ifan individual is collecting benefits in more than one State. The Federal match detennincs whether anyone receiving benefits is also colleeti11g a salary or retirement pension as a euncnt or fbrmer U.S. military or civil service employee. The federal PARTS computer facility perforl11s the data match and provides any hits to the State. State staff verify the data and follow appropriate veri lication procedures and adverse action. The Family Investment Administration has added three new Alert screens in Client Automated Resource and Eligibilily System (CARES) 1'01' the receipt and filtering ofthe three types of PARIS matches: V A, Interslate and Federal. Effective December 26, 2006, automation oflhe receipt and filt.ering of the PARIS matches began. Automation reduces the time spent on manual review and filtering and action on duplicate benefits. '111e matches arc sent directly through the CARES system to tbe local Social Services offices or the local Health Departments. These matches are reviewed by the case manger and are coded into lhe system. Any match w'hich can not be completed is referred to the MD Office ofTnspcclor General (OIG) f()r invesligation. In addition the OIG has access to the alerts allowing the tracking and monitoring or matches. TN No. jO-13_ Approval Date::UAR, 02 2.Off' Effective Datc:...f).t:l12J(;b'R.

Milligan, Jr. Deputy Secretary Health Care Financing MD Department of Health and Mental Hygiene 201 West Preston Street, Suite 525 Baltimore, MD 2120 1 Dear Mr. Milligan: We are pleased to inform you that Maryland State Plan Amendment (SPA) Numberll-09 has been approved. This amendment updates certain State plan pages, including non-discrimination practices, methods of assuring high quality care, removal of language on guidelines for assessing cost effectiveness of employer-based group health plans, and the definition of a claim. The effective date of this SPA is April 1, 2011 . The signed CMS-179 and the approved State Plan pages are enclosed. The State's SPA 11-09 submission also included an update of language on transportation. It was determined during the review process that some of this language needs to be transferred to the State's cost allocation plan. The State asked to withdraw its transportation pages from this SPA, and a decision was made to pursue this matter through a separate SPA and revised cost allocation plan, for which CMS staff can provide technical assistance, as desired. The enclosed letter with this approval letter documents the process to be followed for CMS approval of the State's language on transportation. If you have any questions regarding this amendment, please contact Rosemary Feild at (215) 861-4278.

This SPA, in accordance with Section 113 of the Children's Health Insurance Program Reauthorization Act (CHIPRA), eliminates the previous requirements for deemed newborn Medicaid eligibility that the newborn must come home from the hospital to live with the mother, remain a member of the mother's household, and that the mother remain eligible for Medicaid, or would remain eligible if still pregnant. By virtue ofthis change, all newborns born to women covered by Medicaid for the child's birth, including coverage of an alien for labor and delivery as emergency medical services, are now covered as mandatory categorically needy. The effective date for this amendment is October I, 2011. The signed CMS-179 form and the approved State Plan pages are enclosed.

This SPA adds language that was inadvertently dropped on Maryland SPA 11-04, which expanded coverage to otherwise pregnant women and children who are aliens, under the Children's Health Insurance Program Reauthorization Act (CHIPRA) Section 214 option. The added language is not directly related to SPA 11-04, but is standard language that addresses interstate residency agreements in determining eligibility for coverage. It is our understanding that this SPA is technical in nature and does not change any policy ofthe State. The effective date for this amendment is October I, 2011.

Modified Adjusted Gross Income (MAGI) Conversion Plan This MAGI Conversion Plan is being submitted to CMS by Maryland as required by Section 1902(e)(14)(E) of the Social Security Act, which requires each state to submit for approval the income eligibility thresholds for Medicaid and the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) proposed to be established using modified adjusted gross income (MAGI). As described in the December 28, 2012 State Health Officials' Letter on Modified Adjusted Gross Income (MAGI) income conversion, states can choose among three options to convert net standards for Medicaid and CHIP to MAGI equivalent standards. 1 The purpose of the MAGI Conversion Plan is to provide CMS with information about each state's MAGI conversion methodology, as well as the data used and results of conversion. CMS will be reviewing the submitted materials and notifying the State with their approval or disapproval by June 15,2013. Eligibility and FMAP claiming conversions. States are required to submit information about their conversion methodology, data and results for income conversions related to eligibility and those required for FMAP claiming in accordance with CMS' FMAP rule. For additional information about the FMAP rule, please see: https://s3.amazonaws.com/public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2013- 07599.pdf. Note about Income Eligibility Conversions and State Plan Amendments: Converted income standards will be used to set maximum MAGI-equivalent standards for adults in 2014 and will be used as the actual income standard in effect for children through October 2019. States will use the state plan amendment (SPA) process to identify the minimum and maximum MAGI-equivalent standards and to select the state's MAGI-based income standard for each eligibility group to which MAGI will apply in 2014. For adults for whom the Maintenance of Effort requirement expires in 2014, the selected income standard in the SPA will be anywhere between the minimum allowed and the maximum derived through the income conversion process. Please indicate the MAGI conversion method chosen by your state and follow the appropriate directions: 0 .option 1- Standardized Methodology with SIPP data Attach Excel spreadsheet with finalized SIPP results of eligibility and FMAP conversions to this cover page and submit to incomeconversion@cms.hhs.gov . ../ Option 2 - Standardized Methodology with State data Please follow the instructions below and submit this plan to incomeconversion@cms.hhs.gov. 0 Option 3- State proposed Alternative Method Please follow the instructions below and submit this plan to incomeconversion@cms.hhs.gov. 1 SHO letter available at http://www.medicaid.gov/Federal-Policy-Guidance/downloads/SH012003.pdf Page 1 TN# MD-13-0020-MM1 APPROVED: 12/13/2013 EFFECTIVE: 01/01/2014

PART 1: ELIGIBILITY CONVERSIONS- TABLE 1- DUE APRIL 30, 2013 For States Using Standardized Methodology with State Data Or Alternative Method Please fill out Table 1 below to provide CMS with information about how state data were used for MAGI income conversion. All cells in rows for eligibility groups that do not have a converted income standard in your state (for example, if your state does not cover independent foster care adolescents or does not apply an income standard to this group) should be marked "N/A." Instructions for Table 1: SIPP results used: Your state may have used SIPP results for converting some groups. For conversions based on SIPP, please mark yes in the first column of Table 1 and provide the converted standard from those results. 2 Please list the group below (e.g., pregnant women) and an explanation of why the SIPP results are being used for this eligibility group (e.g., data unavailable). Attach additional pages if necessary. Note that for groups that need to be converted both for eligibility and FMAP purposes (e.g,. childless adults) the same income conversion method/data source (i.e., SIPP or state data) must be used. Maryland is using state data for coverage groups where data is reliable, available, and where it will have an impact on our Medicaid program after January 1, 2014. These groups are children ages 1 to 5, optional reasonable classifications of individuals under age 21, and parents under section 1931. For all other groups, Maryland is using SIPP results. The following groups will be converted using SIPP data: • Pregnant women, full benefits- The sample size in our Pll coverage group (pregnant women 200% FPL- 250% FPL) only contains approximately 500 enrollees in any given month. Due to the small sample size and concerns about reliability, we will be using SIPP data. • Family planning services- Maryland's Family Planning eligibility system of record is outside of CARES and the data was not readily available. • Other Medicaid section 1115 demonstration (e.g., childless adults)- Maryland's childless adult (Primary Adult Care program or PAC) system of record is outside of CARES and the data was not readily available.

This conversion will not have an impact on the Maryland Medicaid program. • AFDC payment standard 7/16/1996- While this data is available in our CARES system, this conversion will not have an impact on the Maryland Medicaid program because Maryland currently covers parents up to 116% FPL. • Children under age 1, children ages 6 to 18, M-CHIP optional targeted low-income children (non-premium) & M-CHIP premium - Due to significant differences with the results from our state data conversion and the SIPP results, SIPP data will be used. For all conversions using state data, please provide the following information: Time period-Specify the time period of data that was used, for example, June 2011-May 2012. If a time period other than 12 months was used, please explain why below and summarize the methods used to determine that the time period is unbiased. Attach additional pages if necessary: A full year of data were used for all conversions (January 2012- December 2012). Sampling: Please mark this column yes or no. If yes (in other words, the analysis did not include all records in the eligibility group), please provide a detailed explanation below of the sampling approach that was used (i.e., simple random sample, stratified sample, etc.). Please also provide information about the total population and the number of records sampled. Attach additional pages if necessary. Net income standard- Please fill in the net standard that was converted for each eligibility group. This should reflect the bolded standard from the eligibility template that you developed with CMS. For conversions that were based on fixed dollar thresholds, please specify the net standard for each family size. You may use fewer or more family sizes than indicated in Table 1. For 1115 demonstrations, please enter a row for each MAGI-included 1115 demonstration group, specifying whether its Medicaid or S-CHIP. Income band used in conversion-This column is applicable only for the State Data method and should reflect the net standard minus 25 percentage points of FPL. For example, if the net standard was 120% FPL, the income band used in conversion would be 95% FPL to 120% FPL. For standards at or below 25% FPL, the income band will include all records-e.g., for a net standard of 18% FPL, the Page 5

PART 1: EliGIBiliTY CONVERSIONS Alternative Method, additional information Please provide a summary of the alternative method and data source or sources used for income conversion, including how the method differs from the Standardized MAGI Conversion Methodology specified in the December 28, 2012 State Health Officials' Letter on Modified Adjusted Gross Income (MAGI) Income Conversion. Please include equations showing how the method is applied mathematically and a description of how fixed dollar standards were converted, if relevant. Attach additional pages if necessary. Please provide a description below of how your method meets the criteria specified in the December 28, 2012 State Health Officials' Letter on Modified Adjusted Gross Income (MAGI) Conversion: unbiased, accuracy, precision, and data quality. Attach additional pages if necessary. More detailed information abo.ut these criteria is available in the ASPE issue brief Modified Adjusted Gross Income {MAGI} Income Conversion Methodologies. 4 Unbiased: Across all eligibility categories, the method does not systematically increase or decrease the number of eligible individuals within a given eligibility group or systematically increase or decrease the costs to states. Accuracy: To the extent possible, the method minimizes changes in eligibility status by minimizing losses and gains in eligibility for a given category of coverage. 4 See http://www .shad ac.org/fi les/2. %20ASP E%20 Brief%2Q~%.20MAG I %201 ncome%20Conversion%20Meth odologi es%20( March%202013). pdf .

In other words, if the methodology to arrive at the converted standard were repeated, it would arrive at the same result. For example, if a sampling methodology is used, the sample size must be large enough to ensure that the conversion method, if calculated on another sample, would in general yield the same converted standard. Data quality: The data used are representative of the income and disregards of the population so as not to bias the converted standard due to poor data quality.-- - - - ---------------------------------------- Page 12

Name of state agency to which responsibility is delegated:
Office of Administrative Hearings
Describe the organizational arrangement authorized, the nature and extent of responsibility for program administration delegated to the above named agency, and the resources and/or services of such agency to be utilized in administration of the plan:
Maryland has established an Office of Administrative Hearings (OAH) to provide impartial hearing examiners to conduct contested case hearings for other state agencies, at the state agencies’ option and delegation. Md. Code, Ann., State Government Article (SG) § 10-205. OAH applies the procedural regulations adopted by the agency when, as for Medicaid fair hearings, it is required to do so by State or Federal law. SG § 10-206.
Maryland’s single state agency, the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, has delegated final fact-finding,
by DHMH at any time (except after an individual case has been delegated), and therefore DHMH retains the ability to ensure its fair hearings are adhering to Medicaid requirements. DHMH has adopted procedural regulations consistent with federal Medicaid fair hearing requirements. COMAR 10.01.04.
OAH, by delegation, renders the final DHMH agency decision as to both facts and law. DHMH, while it monitors OAH decisions, does not conduct further administrative review.
DHMH has delegated eligibility determinations to both the Title IV-A agency, the Department of Human Resources (DHR), and to the Maryland Health Benefit Exchange (MHBE). For non-MAGI based coverage groups, the Title IV-A agency is responsible for referring eligibility appeals to OAH and appearing to represent the Department at the contested case hearing.
DHMH has delegated eligibility decisions for MAGI-based coverage groups to the Maryland Health Benefits Exchange (MHBE). Because of the sliding-scale nature of MAGI-based eligibility decisions, DHMH and MHBE
and to eliminate the possibility of conflicting fair hearings decisions, the Maryland Health Benefits Exchange (MHBE) will track eligibility fair hearing appeals for MAGI-based eligibility. By regulation, DHMH delegates certain administrative responsibility for fair hearings, for state administrative law purposes, to the same delegees (DHR and MHBE) that are responsible for the underlying determinations. However, DHMH has directly delegated to OAH the conduct of fair hearings for Medicaid modified adjusted gross income eligibility appeals. MHBE has made the equivalent delegation to OAH for APTC and CSR cases. Therefore, an appellant of an insurance affordability program will get one fair hearing before OAH where all insurance affordability program

CONTE OM MEDICARE A MAE DACAIS HEIN
informal resolution of issues raised. In the case of DHR, case managers and supervisors explore potential resolutions or explanations with the appellant, and make any necessary corrections or updates to eligibility case records. In the case of the MHBE, the division of Appeals & Grievances is responsible for performing (or assigning to appropriate case managers or navigators) intermediate review and is authorized to go forward with corrections or updates to case data and the eligibility status determination. Under a new law, eligibility decisions for MAGI-based coverage groups will no longer be under the jurisdiction of the Board of Review.
The methods for coordinating responsibilities among the agencies involved in administration of the plan under the alternate organizational arrangement are as follows:
DHMH retains oversight of the State Plan and the state regulations to implement the plan. DHMH monitors the entire appeals process, including the administration of contested case hearings by the Title 1V-A agency and MHBE, and the quality and accuracy of the final decisions made by OAH.
DHMH?’s Office of Eligibility Services provides policy directives and advice to both the Title IV-A agency and MHBE, under their MOUs with the Department. Moreover, the Department actively monitors performance by those agencies and provides resources, through the memoranda of understanding, to ensure timely resolution of fair hearing appeals. DHMH periodically meets with the Title 1V-A agency and MHBE to review the terms of its memoranda as circumstances change.
Under its memorandum of understanding with DHMH, MHBE will conduct certain administrative monitoring functions related to all MAGI-based eligibility appeals, including from eligibility decisions made by the Title IV- A agency, and guide pre-hearing processes, including overseeing informal resolution efforts and case summary preparation. MHBE will direct OAH in its conduct of fair hearings, including specifying available hearing locations, securing appropriate resources to be available at hearings, and ensuring that all appeals are processed and decided within federal regulatory time limits, although DHMH will continue to ensure that MHBE complies with all federal and state laws, regulations, policies and guidance covering the Medicaid program. MHBE and DHMH will each appear at hearings. MHBE or the Title-[V agency, at DHMH's direction, will conduct informal resolution efforts in Medicaid modified adjusted gross income cases, but MHBE will track and monitor these efforts for all MAGI cases, and will report all information obtain through these efforts to DHMH which retains oversight responsibility.
Under delegations made by DHMH to OAH in a Memorandum of Agreement, DHMH also monitors the quality and accuracy of the final decisions made by OAH. Moreover, under Maryland administrative law, either party may seek judicial review of a final agency decision. DHMH monitors OAH decisions and, if a clear error is found, will either 1) engage in settlement with the appellant or 2) exercise its option to seek judicial review when there is clear error by the hearing examiner.
DHMH will ensure that every applicant and beneficiary is informed, in writing, of the fair hearing process by reviewing and approving notices issued by the Title-IV agency, MHBE, and OAH. These notices contain information about fair hearings, how to contact OAH, and how to obtain additional information about fair hearings from OAH.
DHMH will ensure that the Title IV-A agency, MHBE, and OAH comply with all federal and state laws, regulations, policies and guidance covering the Medicaid program.

Department of Health and Mental Hygiene’s Board of Review
Describe the organizational arrangement authorized, the nature and extent of responsibility for program administration delegated to the above named agency, and the resources and/or services of such agency to be utilized) in administration of the plan:
In Maryland, a second level of administrative review of some Department final decisions is performed by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene’s Board of Review. Any party may appeal the final decision of the Department to the Board of Review. The OAH decision is the final DHMH decision, while the Board’s decision is final for purposes of judicial review under the Maryland Administrative Procedure Act for cases where appellants opt for Board review. Pursuant to new law, this appeal is optional and any party may seek direct judicial review of the OAH final decision instead of first seeking review before the Board of Review. The Board of Review is an independent Board, which is not part of the Department, and consists of members appointed by
| the Governor. The Board of Review has authority to make findings of fact and law, but traditionally limits its review to the record established at OAH.
The methods for coordinating responsibilities among the agencies involved in administration of the plan under the alternate organizational arrangement are as follows:
DHMH retains oversight of the State Plan and the state regulations to implement the plan. DHMH monitors the entire appeals process, including the quality and accuracy of the made by the Board of Review. Moreover, under Maryland administrative law, either party may seek judicial review of a final agency decision. DHMH monitors Board of Review decisions and, if a clear error is found, will either 1) engage in settlement with the appellant or 2) exercise its option to seek judicial review when there is clear error by the Board.
DHMH will ensure that every applicant and beneficiary is informed, in writing, of the fair hearing process by reviewing and approving notices issued by the Board of Review. These notices contain information about fair hearings, how to contact the Board of Review, and how to obtain additional information about fair hearings from | the Board of Review. The Board will conduct fair hearings in accordance with Md. Code Ann., HG sec. 2-201 et | seq. and COMAR 10.01.05.

Organization and Administration
Provide a description of the organization and functions of the Medicaid agency.
Section 2-101 of the Maryland Code, Health-General Article established the State Department of Health and Mental Hygiene to encompass all major departments, boards and commissions with responsibility for regulating health, mental hygiene and related services. Pursuant to Health-General §15-103, the State Department of Health and Mental Hygiene is the single State agency designated to administer or supervise the administration of the Medicaid program under title XIX of the Social Security Act. The Medicaid agency also established and maintains methods, criteria, and procedures that meet all federal requirements for prevention and control of program fraud and abuse.
The Medicaid agency’s responsibilities, other than the ultimate authority of the DHMH secretary, are carried out under the Deputy Secretary of Health Care Financing, one of 5 parallel administrations. The other 4 administrations in DHMH are
+ Regulatory Programs, which includes various DHMH commissions and the various professional boards that monitor health care practice;
* Behavioral Health & Disabilities, which includes the alcohol and drug abuse administration, the developmental disabilities administration, and the mental hygiene administration;
* Public Health Services, which coordinates the activities of local health departments in the 26 counties and includes the Medical Examiner, Vital Statistics and divisions involved in preventive care and health promotion; and
* Operations, which oversees facilities, systems, equipment and staff, and coordinates procurement and regulatory activities, for the other 4 administrations.
Public Health Services includes the Vital Statistics Administration, which supplies data for Medicaid eligibility. Also, Public Health Services shares responsibility with the 26 counties (including Baltimore City) for the local health departments. Although local health departments generally fall under the supervision of Public Health Services, specific employees of each local health department perform Medicaid and CHIP eligibility determinations under the direct supervision of the Health Care Financing administration, which funds these positions and activities using CHIP grants. The office of the DHMH Secretary oversees the Office of Health Care Quality (which surveys facilities) and provides administrative support for the independent Board of Review.

Medicaid activities within Health Care Financing are performed through 5 distinct units under 3 Executive Directors and 2 Directors. The Office of Systems, Operations and Pharmacy operates the Medicaid Management Information System, paying claims, furnishing eligibility information to providers, and producing reports; oversees the pharmacy benefit, including convening Pharmacy and Therapeutics Committee, furnishing point-of-service eligibility data to pharmacists, paying for outpatient and inpatient prescriptions, and operating federal and state Medicaid drug rebate program; and is responsible for working with contractors to develop of a fiscal agent system that is intended to replace the current MMIS. In addition to the Office of Eligibility Services (described below), Medicaid has an Office of Health Services, which is responsible for provider and MCO relations and reimbursement, and for designing services and benefit plans. The MMIS and reporting requirements are managed by the Office of Systems, Operations and Pharmacy, which also includes the staff who oversee the state and federal drug rebate programs, set drug coverage policies, and deal with recommendations from pharmacy advisory committees. The Office of Planning and Finance work closely with the Office of Health Services to develop most significant new program areas.
Within Health Care Financing Administration, the Office of Eligibility Services establishes regulations and provides training and informal written guidance to workers responsible for determining eligibility of Medicaid recipients. The Office of Eligibility Services contains a policy division that is responsible for maintaining and developing regulations and informal guidance, and also contains a training unit responsible for developing materials and presenting eligibility classroom training used for all eligibility case workers in DHMH and delegate agencies. Another unit under Policy oversees the local health departments’ determinations of eligibility for pregnant women, families and children, and provides policy support to an operational DHMH unit that processes eligibility, notices and recipient billing/payment for the MCHP Premium program. The Deputy Director for policy also advises the quality control, monitoring and special projects division that performs agency audits, works with the Inspector General’s office on payment error rate measurement, and performs outreach to recipients regarding particular eligibility criteria from time to time in order to promote consistency. The Operations division includes staff who oversee the contractual relationship between DHMH and its enrollment broker for recipient managed care services, and a call center for issues related to transitions between fee-for-service and managed care services and other recipient problems, and also a group of technical experts who maintain accuracy of MMIS records by performing certain manual tasks to bridge the gap between MMIS and the legacy eligibility system, by reviewing system reports and responding to problems, and who maintain the Medicare Buy-In relationship with CMS for dually eligible recipients. Finally, there is a division of case managers who perform eligibility determinations for applicants to the various 1915(c) and 1115 waiver programs (including Increased Community Services and Family Planning), for children in state psychiatric placements, and for the Employed Individuals with Disabilities program (a Medicaid “buy-in” program. These workers use CARES in combination with waiver program systems. Until 2014, this Eligibility Determinations Division (EDD) also had a unit to perform eligibility determinations (using a separate electronic system) for the “pharmacy plus” 1115 program, Primary Adult Care, for childless adults.

Provide a description of the structure of the state's executive branch which includes how the Medicaid agency fits in with other health, human service and public assistance agencies.
Maryland's executive branch is made up of 20 Departments and other independent agencies and boards that each report directly to MD's governor, Lt. Governor, and Secretary of State.
The Department of Health and Mental Hygiene is one of Maryland’s 20 departments and is headed by a Secretary who is the Governor’s cabinet-level appointee. See Maryland Manual On-Line maintained by Maryland State Archive at http:// msa.maryland.gov/msa/mdmanual/09dept/htm1/00list.html.DHMH has several sister agencies that provide various social services in Maryland. The Department of Human Resources, DHR, is the Title-IV agency and Title IV-E agency, as well as administering the offices of Child Welfare and Adult Services, Child Support Enforcement among other federal and state public service activities. The Department of Aging provides services to older adults, and certain programs of the Department of Aging are enrolled as Medicaid providers. The Department of Juvenile Services coordinates enrollment with DHR and the Department of certain youth who are in the custody of the State but in community living arrangements subject to court supervision. The office of Disability Determination within the Department of Education partners with DHR in determining disability under Title XVI rules for Maryland residents. The Maryland Health Benefit Exchange is an independent agency and is responsible for the individual exchange market, the SHOP market, and MAGI-based Medicaid eligibility determinations.
As stated above, Maryland has established an Office of Administrative Hearings (OAH) to provide impartial hearing examiners to

In addition to the LDSS staff, Maryland currently uses eligibility staff at Local Health Departments (LHD) to process eligibility for what will now be MAGI coverage groups, also using CARES. Beginning with open enrollment for 2014, these case managers process eligibility for periods beginning January 2014 or later using MHC. Both groups of case managers (LDSS and LHD) will use CARES to perform adjustments or determine retroactive eligibility for
periods prior to January 1, 2014. Remove

X__ The State will make payments to the RAC(s) ona contingent basis for collecting overpayments.
The following payment methodology shall be used to determine State payments to Medicaid RACs for identification and recovery of overpayments (e.g., the percentage of the contingency fee):

This SPA moves the Family Planning Program into the Maryland State Plan and expands program eligibility. This amendment would allow individuals of any age, with income at or below 259 percent of the federal poverty level, to qualify for Maryland's Family Planning Program. Maryland predicts a fiscal impact on Medicaid expenditures is at least $338,314 (88 percent Federal Funds, 12 percent General Funds) for Fiscal Year 2019. The effective date for this amendment is July 1, 2018. The CMS 179 form and the Approved State Plan pages are attached. Please also find the attached a companion letter that accompanies the approval of SPA 18-0005 that serves to memorialize our agreement with the state regarding implementation of the eligibility and enrollment processes for the state’s family planning program. If you have questions about this SPA, please contact Ms. Talbatha Myatt of my staff at 215-861- 4259. Sincerely, Francis T.

DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH & HUMAN SERVICES Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services Center for Medicaid and CHIP Services Regional Operations Group 801 Market Street, Suite 9400 Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19107-3134 Division of Medicaid Field Operations East SWIFT# 071020184122 Dennis Schrader, Director Maryland Department of Health 201 West Preston Street Baltimore, Maryland 21201 Dear Mr. Schrader: Re: SPA MD 18-0005 This letter is being sent as a companion to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) approval of Maryland State Plan Amendment (SPA) MD-18-0005, which was submitted on July 19, 2018. Maryland submitted this SPA to transition the authority for its family planning program from the state’s section 1115 demonstration, Maryland HealthChoice (demonstration number 11-W-00099/3), to the state plan, consistent with section 1902(a)(10)(A)(ii)(XXI) of the Social Security Act (the Act), implemented at 42 CFR 435.214. During the review of SPA MD-18-0005, CMS learned that Maryland is not operating its family planning program application and eligibility processes consistent with the requirements in applicable statute and regulations. The state has committed to full implementation and compliance with statute and federal regulations by September 1, 2019 by fully integrating application and eligibility determination processes for the family planning and related services eligibility group under 42 CFR 435.214 (Family Planning Eligibility Group), into its integrated eligibility system, Maryland Health Connection. The state must have a coordinated eligibility and enrollment process when an individual applies for Medicaid whether it is through the separate family planning application or the single streamlined application which permits application and eligibility determination for Medicaid on all bases, in accordance with sections 1902(a)(8), 1902(a)(10), and 1943 of the Act and implementing regulations at 42 CFR 435.906, 435.911, 435.214. In addition, the state must use MAGI income methodology to determine eligibility for the Family Planning Eligibility Group, in accordance with section 1902(e)(14) of the Act and implementing regulations at 42 CFR 435.603 and 435.214. March 15, 2019
(spa)(md-18-0005)(approval-document)(page-32)Page 32#
Page 2- Mr. Schrader The state must provide individuals the opportunity to apply for Medicaid (including for the state’s Family Planning Eligibility Group) in accordance with 42 CFR 435.907. In addition, the state’s Family Planning Program application must ask only the questions necessary to make an eligibility determination consistent with the requirements in 42 CFR 435.214, in accordance with 42 CFR 435.907(e). Beneficiaries whose financial eligibility is determined using MAGI-based income must be renewed once every twelve months, consistent with the renewal processes described in 42 CFR 435.916. CMS sent the state a request for additional information (RAI) on October 5, 2018. Based on the formal RAI response and several subsequent discussions between CMS and the state, Maryland has agreed to implement the following changes to its application, enrollment, and eligibility determination processes prior to and until integration of the Family Planning Eligibility Group into Maryland Health Connection on September 1, 2019: Pre-system integration changes: Timeline Revise the “What Does Medicaid Cover” page of the Maryland Health Connection website to include information on the Family Planning Program. Implemented January 2019 Revise the Maryland Health Connection consumer and worker portals and single, streamlined application dashboards to include information on the Family Planning Program. Implemented January 2019 Revise the eligibility determination page to include information on the Family Planning Program. Implemented January 2019 Include information on the managed care organization (MCO) plan shopping page to note that individuals may be eligible for the Family Planning Program even if they are enrolled in a qualified health plan (QHP). Implemented January 2019 Add information to eligibility notices for individuals determined ineligible for full-benefit Medicaid and eligible for QHPs regarding the availability of the Family Planning Program. Implemented January 2019 Add information to the Family Planning Program application and on the Family Planning Program website to inform consumers about the availability of full Medicaid benefits and include a link to the single, streamlined application. Implemented January 2019 Family application clearly states that coverage is for a 12 month period, that reapplication materials will be sent prior to the end of the 12 month period and that individual must re- apply to continue receiving benefits. Implemented January 2019 Modify and distribute the Family Planning Program application to collect only the information necessary for a MAGI eligibility determination. By March 31, 2019 Implement telephonic access to the single, streamlined application in family planning clinics. By March 31, 2019

Independent evaluations/reevaluations to determine whether applicants are eligible for the State plan HCBS benefit are performed (Select one): { Directly by the Medicaid agency z By Other (specify State agency or entity under contract with the State Medicaid agency): The Behavioral Health Administration, in conjunction with a contracted administrative services organization, and Core Services Agencies or Local Behavioral Health Authorities, the local mental health authorities responsible for planning, managing, and monitoring public mental health services at the local level. 2. Qualifications of Individuals Performing Evaluation/Reevaluation. The independent evaluation is performed by an agent that is independent and qualified. There are qualifications (that are reasonably related to performing evaluations) for the individual responsible for evaluation/reevaluation of needs- based eligibility for State plan HCBS. (Specify qualifications): The independent evaluation and reevaluation will be completed by the Administrative Services Organization (ASO) on behalf of the Department. Maryland-licensed mental health professionals trained in the use of the applicable standardized tools will perform the evaluations. This may include Psychiatrists, Nurse Psychotherapists (ARNP-PMH), Psychiatric Nurse Practitioners (CRNP-PMH), Licensed Clinical Social Workers, Licensed Clinical Professional Counselors, or a Psychologist 3. Process for Performing Evaluation/Reevaluation. Describe the process for evaluating whether individuals meet the needs-based State plan HCBS eligibility criteria and any instrument(s) used to make this determination. If the reevaluation process differs from the evaluation process, describe the differences: The Administrative Services Organization (ASO), on behalf of the Department will verify eligibility, perform the independent evaluation of needs-based criteria,and pre-authorize all of the medically appropriate mental health services. Final eligibility determination rests with the SMA and the ASO will present its eligibility determination to the Department for final approval and enrollment. A licensed mental health professional will conduct the evaluation, based upon Maryland’s definition of medically necessary treatment which requires services or benefits to be: (1) Directly related to diagnostic, preventive, curative, palliative, rehabilitative, or ameliorative treatment of an illness, injury, disability, or health condition; (2) Consistent with currently accepted standards of good medical practice; (3) The most cost efficient service that can be provided without sacrificing effectiveness or access to care; and (4) Not primarily for the convenience of the consumer, family, or provider. The evaluator will be familiar with the medical necessity criteria and will use those criteria and the individual’s clinical history to determine eligibility. The evaluator will utilize a psychosocial assessment to generate a score on the ECSII or CASII for the youth, and will compare that to the score generated by the Core Service Agency or Local Behavioral Health Authority based on the same documentation. If necessary, the evaluator will gather additional information by telephone or other means in conjunction with the CSA/LBHA.

Once the evaluator has determined eligibility for services, a Care Coordination Organization will work with the child and family to develop an individualized Plan of Care (POC) that is consistent with the principles of Care Coordination (i.e. strengths-based, individualized, community-based, etc . The CCO will review the POC at least every 45 days, with a review by the ASO when there is a change to the POC that necessitates a pre-authorization. Re-Evaluation; The ASO will review the most recent POC along with other documentation including financial eligibility at least annually as part of the review for continued eligibility for services. The medical re- evaluation, including a CASII or ECSII , will be completed by the ASO based on: 1. An updated psychosocial assessment from a treating mental health professional supporting the need for continued HCBS benefit services; 2. A CASII or ECSII review by a licensed mental health professional at the Care Coordination Organization (with a CASII score of 3to 6 or ECSII score of 3 to 5) as outlined in Section 1a of the response below to Question 5 “Needs-based HCBS Eligibility Criteria”; 3. A review of HCBS benefits service utilization over the past 6 months. The ASO will make the final re-evaluation determination and inform the SMA of its decision. 4. ; Reevaluation Schedule.

Care Coordinators may not be related by blood or marriage to the individual, or any paid caregiver of the individual, to whom they deliver care coordination services. The Clinical Director, a licensed mental health professional, will supervise the development and ongoing implementation of the POC and review and approve the POC. A core element of the Care Coordination model is the team approach. This team includes the CCO, child or youth (as appropriate), caregiver(s), support persons identified by the family (paid and unpaid), and service providers, including the youth’s treating clinician as available. The team should meet regularly and revisit the POC during meetings. There are a variety of assessments used to develop the POC, including information collected during the application process, and all life domains are incorporated into the POC. The Child and Adolescent Needs and Strengths (CANS) is administered every 90 days by the CCO supervisor to support identification of strengths and needs for care planning. Information from the family and their identified supports is incorporated as a part of the process 6. Supporting the Participant in Development of Person-Centered Service Plan. Supports and information are made available to the participant (and/or the additional parties specified, as appropriate) to direct and be actively engaged in the person-centered service plan development process. (Specify: (a) the supports and information made available, and (b) the participant’s authority to determine who is included in the process): The child's/youth's family is informed verbally and in writing about overall services available in the State Plan HCBS benefit at the time they make the choice to enroll. One of the key philosophies in the Care Coordination process is family-determined care. This means that parent(s) or legal guardian, youth and family members are the primary decision makers in the care of their family. The CCO is responsible for working with the participant, family, and team to develop the Plan of Care through the process outlined below.

At the first meeting between the CCO, participant, and family after enrollment, the CCO will: (a) Administer the appropriate assessments, as designated by the Behavioral Health Administration (BHA); (b) Work with the participant and family to develop an initial crisis plan that includes response to immediate service needs; (c) Provide an overview of the Care Coordination process; and (d) Facilitate the family sharing their story. The CCO will, with the participant and family: identify needs to work on in the planning process; determine team meeting attendees; contact potential team members, provide them with an overview of the Care Coordination process, and discuss expectations for the first team meeting; conduct a strengths based initial assessment of the participant, their family members and potential team members. Within 30 days of notification of enrollment, the CCO will offer the participant and family the opportunity to determine whether and how to use peer support in the development and implementation of the POC. The team, which includes the participant and his or her family and informal and formal supports will determine the family vision which will guide the planning process; identify strengths of the entire team; determine the needs that the team will be working on; determine outcome statements for meeting identified needs; determine the specific services and supports required in order to achieve the goals identified in the POC; create a mission statement that the team generates and commits to following; identify the responsible person(s) for each of the strategies in the POC; review and update the crisis plan; and, meet at least every 45 days to coordinate the implementation of the POC and update the POC as necessary. Before the provision of services in the POC, BHA or its designee shall review and authorize the services designated in the POC. The CCO in collaboration with the team shall reevaluate the POC at least every 45 days with re-administration of BHA-approved assessments as appropriate. During the development of the plan of care, family members and other supports identified by the family also participate as a part of the team. These participants may change as the child's or youth's needs change particularly as he/she is transitioning out of the formal care coordination services. The participant/family will sign and date a document that is part of the POC next to the statement that reads, “My family had voice and choice in the selection of services, providers and interventions, when possible, in the Care Coordination process of building my family's Plan of Care.” 7. Informed Choice of Providers. (Describe how participants are assisted in obtaining information about and selecting from among qualified providers of the 1915(i) services in the person-centered service plan): BHA or its designee will have and maintain a database and/or directory available to the CCO and the family from which to choose providers to implement the plan of care. Providers are selected by team with the support of the CCO. Participants are active members who will, depending on age and/or cognitive development, assist in the selection of providers based on the POC and the expertise of the team members. There will be an ongoing enrollment of providers to ensure the capacity is available.

Process for Making Person-Centered Service Plan Subject to the Approval of the Medicaid Agency. (Describe the process by which the person-centered service plan is made subject to the approval of the Medicaid agency): Care Coordination is a team-level decision making process. The team determines the various supports and services that need to be in place for the family with the family and youth driving the process. The team is responsible to hold each other accountable in ensuring the implementation of high quality services for the family. The Care Coordination Organization (CCO) will manage the Plan of Care (POC). The Clinical Director, a licensed mental health professional employed by the CCO, will supervise the development and ongoing implementation of the POC and review and approve the POC. Prior to the provision of services in the POC, BHA or its designee will review and authorize the services designated in the POC based on medical necessity criteria for all Medicaid services. The POC will be provided to BHA or its designee to ensure that services that are authorized are consistent with the POC. Families have access to services made available in the 1915(i) and public mental health system that will address their individualized needs, as long as they meet medical necessity criteria. Families have the primary decision making responsibility around provider selection. If a family is dissatisfied with a provider, there is an internal process within the CCO to address these needs and mediate as well as transition to another provider when needed. This includes dissatisfaction with CCOs and any other providers. The POC process is designed to identify and address the individualized needs of each family. If a plan is not working for the family, the plan is revisited and redesigned to better meet the needs of the family. The team shares the philosophy that “the family doesn’t fail, the plan fails” and in turn needs to be re- developed. Families’ needs and strengths will be identified in part through the CANS as mentioned in the prior questions. The CCO is responsible for monitoring the implementation of plans of care by service providers.

IIHS includes a series of components, including functional assessments and treatment planning, individualized interventions, transition support, and in some cases, crisis response and intervention.
IIHS may be provided to the child alone, to other family members, and to the child and family members together. The services provided to other family members are essentialto the positive course of treatment of the youth enrolled in the program. Examples of this include strengthening a caregiver’s ability to manage challenging child behaviors, developing skills in setting appropriate boundaries with the child, and developing de-escalation skills that are necessary to stabilize the young person and the home setting. The IIHS treatment plan must be integrated with the overall POC, and the IIHS providers must work with the team and family to transition out of the intensive service.
IIHS is intended to support a child to remain in his or her home and reduce hospitalizations and out- of-home placements or changes of living arrangements through focused interventions in the home and community. Examples of situations in which IIHS may be used include at the start of a child’s enrollment in the HCBS benefit, upon discharge from a hospital or residential treatment center, or to prevent or stabilize after a crisis situation.
IIHS includes a crisis service component, with IIHS providers immediately available 24 hours per day, 7 days each week to provide services as needed to prevent, respond to, or mitigate a crisis situation. If the crisis cannot be defused,the IIHS provider is responsible for assisting the family in accessing emergency services immediately for that child.

The IRC is charged with developing and operating a rate process for residential child care and child placement agency programs that is fair, equitable and predictable, and is comprised of representatives from the Department of Budget and Management, Maryland Department of Health Administration/Behavioral Health Administration, Department of Human Resources/SocialServices Administration, Department of Juvenile Services, Governor's Office for Children and the Maryland State Department of Education (http://www.marylandpublicschools.org/MSDE/divisions/earlyinterv/IRC). The IRC identifies programs as "preferred" or "non-preferred." For this rate development, only preferred provider rates were incorporated. Additionally, only the per diem rates for group homes, therapeutic group homes, and treatment foster care providers were included.
The fiscal model identified in the August 2006 Real Choice Systems Change Grants for Community Living: A Feasibility Study to Consider Respite Services for Children with Disabilities in Maryland prepared by The Hilltop Institute (formerly the Center for Health Program Development and Management) at UMBC included a 10% administrative cost for training, family support, outreach and provider recruitment that was specific to the youth at the highest levels of care. A similar finding of a need for additional administrative funds was identified by the Respite Care Committee under the Maryland Blueprint for Children's Mental Health Committee.

An IIHS provider may bill for a week only if an IIHS activity occurred for the covered youth on at least one day of the billable week. A minimum of one (1) face- to-face contact is required per week. At least fifty percent (50%) of therapist’s contacts with the youth and/or family must be face-to-face. A minimum of fifty percent (50%) of the therapist’s time must be spent working outside the agency and in the youth’s home or community, as documented in the case notes. An individual can only receive IIHS services from one provider at a time. Partial hospitalization/day treatment, mobile crisis response services (MCRS), and other family therapies cannot be charged at the same time. IIHS providers are expected to provide crisis response services for the youth on their caseload. An evidence-based practice (EBP) is defined as a program, intervention or service that: 1. is recognized by MDH as an EBP for youth; a. are derived from rigorous, scientifically controlled research; and b. can be applied in community settings with a defined clinical population; 2. has a consistent training and service delivery model; 3. utilizes a treatment manual; and 4. has demonstrated evidence that successful program implementation results in improved, measureable outcomes for recipients of the service intervention. The rate is higher for those programs that are identified as an EBP, in keeping with the established practice of different reimbursement rates for an EBP versus non-EBP service (e.g., Mobile Treatment Services and Assertive Community Treatment).

Effective: October 1, 2019 Approved: June 12, 2019 Supersedes: 16-0007 An IIHS provider may bill for a week only if an IIHS activity occurred for the covered youth on at least one day of the billable week. A minimum of one (1) face- to-face contact is required per week. At least fifty percent (50%) of therapist’s contacts with the youth and/or family must be face-to-face. A minimum of fifty percent (50%) of the therapist’s time must be spent working outside the agency and in the youth’s home or community, as documented in the case notes. An individual can only receive IIHS services from one provider at a time. Partial hospitalization/day treatment, mobile crisis response services (MCRS), and other family therapies cannot be charged at the same time. IIHS providers are expected to provide crisis response services for the youth on their caseload. The weekly rate for the IIHS program is based on the cost of a therapist (.5 FTE) and in-home stabilizer (.5 FTE) with a shared caseload of 1:12. An in-home stabilizer provides some of the face-to-face services. The supervisor caseload is a ratio of 1:5. The rate includes other costs, such as rent, communications (phone, internet), and mileage.

Private and public expressive and experiential behavioral therapy providers will be reimbursed at the same rate. Rate development: The following details the rate development for expressive and experiential behavioral therapy services. Expressive and Experiential Behavioral Therapy Services Providers must have a) A bachelor's or master's degree from an accredited college or university; and (b) Current registration in the applicable association. The applicable registrations and associations include the following: x Dance Therapist Registered or Academy of Dance Therapists Registered in The American Dance Therapy Association x Certified by The Equine Assisted Growth and Learning Association (EAGALA)to provide services under the EAGALA model or The North American Handica x Horticultural Therapist Registered by The American Horticultural Therapy Association x Music Therapist-Board Certified by the Board for Music Therapists, Inc in the American Association for Music Therapy, Inc. x Registered Drama Therapist or Board Certified Trainer in the National Association for Drama Therapy These associations, registrations and certifications were identified as having comprehensive standards, continuing education requirements, and examinations. As such, the rate for this service has been aligned with the Medicaid rate for individual practitioners (licensed certified social worker-clinical, nurse psychotherapist, licensed clinical professional counselor, licensed clinical marriage and family therapist, and certified registered nurse practitioner-psychiatric) for 45- 50 minutes of individual therapy with a child or adolescent ($62.19/hour). These rates were set by the State of Maryland at approximately 70% of the Medicare rate for individual therapy provided by practitioners of a similar skill level. Expressive and experiential behavioral therapy service providers who are licensed mental health professionals (licensed certified social worker-clinical, nurse psychotherapist, licensed clinical professional counselor, licensed clinical marriage and family therapist, and certified registered nurse practitioner-psychiatric) are reimbursed for this service at a rate that is 10% greater than the standard rate for non-mental health licensed professionals providing the same service. A differential was selected based on the additional costs to providers to obtain and maintain their license and the cost of and time required to obtain continuing education credits. In the 1915(c) PRTF Demonstration Waiver (RTC Waiver), it was difficult to 1) Ascertain how many of the expressive and experiential behavioral service providers were also licensed mental health clinicians and 2) encourage licensed mental health clinicians who were already Public Mental Health System providers to enroll to provide the additional service (a necessary step in helping families and youth to identify the most appropriate provider to address their needs). As a result, the high rate was developed to address both of these issues through a mechanism to encourage provider enrollment and more accurately track provider utilization. The group rates were set based on

The rate development adheres to the CMS-accepted methodology for cost-based rates, which includes salary, fringe benefits, indirect costs, and transportation costs based on an average of the mileage experience in current peer support programs. Cost estimates conform to our experience with peer support in Maryland.
The 15-minute rate was calculated as the cost for one family support partner for 12 months divided by 1,352 billable service hours. This was based on the amount of time that is spent traveling (without the family present), completing documentation, participating in training (including the Care Coordination Practitioners Certificate Program), and leave time. Indirect costs were calculated at the standard 10% of salaries.
The telephonic rate is established at 50% of the regular rate.

Describe below Health Homes may receive a one-time reimbursement for the completion of each participants’ initial intake and assessment necessary for enrollment into the Health Home. The payment will be the same as the rate paid for monthly services on a per-member basis. The monthly rate is contingent upon the Health Home meeting the requirements set forth in the Health Home applications, as determined by the State of Maryland, including the provision of a minimum of two services in the month. The Health Homes are not paying any monies to other providers. There is only one exchange of payment and that is from the State to the Health Home providers. Health Home providers must document services and outcomes within the participant's ţle and in eMedicaid. These documents are accessible to the Department and the Department's designees through eMedicaid and are auditable. Rates are reviewed annually. Health Home participants may only be enrolled in one Health Home at a time. If participant is enrolled in a Health Home, Maryland's system automatically blocks the participant from being enrolled in another Health Home.
Health Homes will be paid a monthly rate based on the employment costs of required Health Home staſ, using salary and additional employment cost estimates for each of the required positions and their respective ratios. Payment is contingent upon the Health Home meeting the requirements set forth in the Health Home applications, as determined by the State of Maryland. Failure to meet such requirements is ground for payment sanctions or revocation of Health Home status. The Department does not pay for separate billing for services which are included as part of another service. At the end of each month, Health Homes will ensure that all Health Home services and outcomes have been reported into eMedicaid. The provider will then submit a bill within 30 days for all participants that received the minimum Health Home service requirement in the preceding month. The provider may begin billing for a Health Home participant when the intake portion of that individual’s eMedicaid ţle has been completed with the necessary demographics, qualifying diagnoses baseline data, and consent form. The initial intake process itself qualiţes as a Health Home service. The ongoing criteria for receiving a monthly payment is: 1. The individual is identiţed in the State’s Medicaid Management Information System (MMIS) as Medicaid-eligible and authorized to receive PRP, MT, or OTP services; 2. The individual was enrolled as a Health Home member with the Health Home provider in the month for which the provider is submitting a
(spa)(md-19-0009)(approval-document)(page-5)Page 5#
bill for Health Home services; and 3. The individual has received a minimum of two Health Home services in the previous month, which are documented in the eMedicaid system. The agency's fee schedule (rate) was last updated on July 1, 2019 and is eſective for services provided on or after that date. Eſective July 1, 2019, the Health Home rate will be $110.19. Describe any variations in payment based on provider qualiţcations, individual care needs, or the intensity of the services provided There are no variations in payment.

State of Maryland Attachment 4.19-B Page 40-A TN No. 20-0010 Approval Date _________________ Supersedes TN No. NEW Effective Date October 1, 2020 3. Emergency Service Transporter Supplemental Payment Program (ESPP). (a) Reimbursement rates for Emergency Service Transporters are outlined in Attachment 4.19- B, page 40. (b) SUPPLEMENTAL PAYMENT FOR JURISDICTIONAL EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES OPERATIONAL PROGRAMS Effective October 1, 2020, Jurisdictional Emergency Medical Services Operational Programs (JEMSOPs) that meet the specified requirements outlined in Section 3(c) below and provide ground emergency transportation services to Medicaid recipients as defined in Attachment 3.1A page 30, will be eligible for a supplemental payment. This supplemental payment applies to Emergency Transportation Services (ETS) rendered to Medicaid recipients by eligible JEMSOPs on or after October 1, 2020. EPSS is a voluntary program, and JEMSOPs are not required to participate. Supplemental payments provided by this program are available only for allowable costs that are in excess of Medicaid reimbursement rates paid to Emergency Service Transporters in accordance with Attachment 4.19-B, page 40 that eligible entities receive for ETS services rendered to eligible Medicaid recipients. Total reimbursements under the ESPP program are capped (including supplemental payments) at one hundred percent of actual costs. The Maryland Department of Health (the Department) will recognize a supplemental payment equal to the total allowable Medicaid costs of eligible JEMSOPs for providing services as set forth below. (c) To qualify for supplemental payments, providers must meet all of the following: 1. Be enrolled as a Medicaid provider for the period being claimed on their annual cost report; 2. Provide ground Emergency Transport Services to Medicaid recipients; and 3. Be a “Jurisdictional Emergency Medical Services Operational Program," which is defined under COMAR 30.03.02 as: “an institution, agency, corporation, or other entity that has been approved by the Emergency Medical Service Board to provide oversight for each of the local government and State and federal emergency medical services programs.” Providers meeting all of these qualifications will be considered “Eligible Providers.” (d) Supplemental Reimbursement Methodology – General Provisions 3/16/21

State of Maryland Attachment 4.19-B Page 40-B TN No. 20-0010 Approval Date _________________ Supersedes TN No. NEW Effective Date October 1, 2020 1. Computation of allowable costs and their allocation methodology must be determined in accordance with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) Provider Reimbursement Manual (CMS Pub. 15-1), CMS non-institutional reimbursement policies, Medicare cost reimbursement principles in 42 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Part 413 and Section 1861 of the Federal Social Security Act (42 USC, Section 1395x), and 2 C.F.R. Part 200 as implemented by HHS at 45 C.F.R., part 75, which establish principles and standards for determining allowable costs and the methodology for allocation and apportioning those expenses to the Medicaid program, except as expressly modified below. 2. The total uncompensated care costs of each Eligible Provider available to be reimbursed under this supplemental reimbursement program will equal the shortfall resulting from the allowable costs determined using the Cost Determination Protocols for each Eligible Provider providing ETS to Maryland Medicaid recipients, net of the amounts received and payable from the Maryland Medicaid program and all other sources of reimbursement for such services provided to Maryland Medicaid recipients. If the Eligible Providers do not have any uncompensated care costs, then the provider will not receive a supplemental payment under this supplemental reimbursement program. (e) Cost Determination Protocols 1. An Eligible Provider’s specific allowable cost per-ETS transport rate will be calculated based on the provider’s financial data reported on the state-approved cost report. The per-ETS transport cost rate will be the sum of actual allowable direct and indirect costs of providing ETS divided by the actual number of emergency transports provided for the applicable service period. 2. Direct costs for providing ETS include only the unallocated payroll costs for the shifts in which personnel dedicate 100 percent of their time to providing medical transport services ETS, medical equipment and supplies, and other costs directly related to the delivery of covered services, such as first-line supervision, materials and supplies, professional and contracted services, capital outlay, travel, and training. These costs must be in compliance with Medicaid non-institutional reimbursement policy and are directly attributable to the provision of the ETS. 3. The total percentage of time spent on ETS calls throughout the cost reporting period will be calculated using Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD)/trip allocation statistics and used as an allocation methodology for those costs “shared” between ETS vs. Non-ETS 3/16/21

State of Maryland Attachment 4.19-B Page 40-C TN No. 20-0010 Approval Date _________________ Supersedes TN No. NEW Effective Date October 1, 2020 divisions. Eligible Providers will allocate shared Capital Related and Salaries & Benefits (CRSB) costs based on CAD/trip allocation statistics. 4. Indirect costs are determined in accordance to one of the following options. a. Eligible Providers receiving more than $35 million in direct federal funding in a calendar year must either have a Cost Allocation Plan (CAP) or a cognizant department approved indirect rate agreement in place with its federal cognizant department to identify indirect cost. If the Eligible Provider does not have a CAP or an indirect rate agreement in place with its federal cognizant department and it would like to claim indirect cost in association with a non-institutional service, it must obtain one or the other before it can claim any indirect cost. b. Eligible Providers receiving less than $35 million of direct federal funding in a calendar year are required to develop and maintain an indirect rate proposal for purposes of audit. In the absence of an indirect rate proposal, Eligible Providers may use methods originating from a CAP to identify its indirect cost. If the Eligible Provider does not have an indirect rate proposal on file or a CAP in place and it would like to claim indirect cost in association with a non- institutional service, it must secure one or the other before it can claim any indirect cost. c. Eligible Providers receiving no direct federal funding can use any of the following previously established methodologies to identify indirect cost: i. A CAP with its local/municipal government ii. An indirect rate negotiated with its local government iii. Direct identification through use of a cost report d. If the Eligible Provider never established any of the above methodologies, it may do so, or it may elect to use the 10% de minimis rate to identify its indirect cost. (f) Cost Settlement Process 1. The payments and the number of ETS transports reported in the as-filed cost report will be reconciled with the Department’s Medicaid Management Information System (MMIS) reports generated for the cost reporting period within 12 months of the as-filed cost report deadline. The Department will make adjustments to the as-filed cost report based on the reconciliation results of the most recently retrieved MMIS report. 3/16/21

State of Maryland Attachment 4.19-B Page 40-D TN No. 20-0010 Approval Date _________________ Supersedes TN No. NEW Effective Date October 1, 2020 2. Each Eligible Provider will receive an annual lump sum payment in an amount equal to the total of the uncompensated care costs as defined in the above Supplemental Reimbursement Methodology – General Provisions Section 3(d)(2). 3. The Department will perform a final reconciliation where it will settle the Eligible Provider’s annual cost report as reviewed and/or audited within the following calendar year. The Department will compute the net ETS allowable costs using reviewed and/or audited per-ETS cost, and the number of fee-for-service ETS transports reflected in the updated MMIS reports. Actual net allowable costs will be compared to the total Medicaid reimbursement paid to the provider for eligible services, including claims payments, third party liability, copayments, spenddown, settlement payments made, and any other source of reimbursement received by the Eligible Provider for the period. If, at the end of the final reconciliation, it is determined that the Eligible Provider has been overpaid, the provider will return the overpayment to the Department and the Department will return the overpayment to the federal government pursuant to 42 CFR 433.316. If an underpayment is determined, then the Eligible Provider will receive a final supplemental payment in the amount of the underpayment. (g) Eligible Provider Reporting Requirements 1. Cost reports are due no later than 180 days after the last day of the State Fiscal Year. A request for an extension shall only be approved when a provider’s operations are significantly and/or adversely affected due to extraordinary circumstances, which the provider has no control, such as, flood or fire. The written request must include a detailed explanation of the circumstances supporting the need for additional time and be postmarked within the 180 days after the last day of the applicable State Fiscal Year. Filing extensions may be granted by the Department for good cause, but such extensions are made at the discretion of the Department. 2. Only cost reports from Eligible Providers as defined in Section 3(c) will be accepted. 3. Participating Eligible Providers who meet the required state enrollment criteria are eligible for federal reimbursement up to reconciled cost in accordance with 3(c) through 3(f) for services provided on or after October 1, 2020. a. Eligible Providers will be paid interim rates equal to the Medicaid reimbursement rates paid to other ETS providers in accordance with Attachment 4.19-B, page 40. The interim rates are provisional in nature, pending the submission of an annual cost report and the completion of cost reconciliation and a cost settlement for that period. Settlements are a separate 3/16/21

Eligible Providers will submit a state approved cost report annually, on a form approved by the Department. c. “Allowable costs” will be determined in accordance with the CMS Provider Reimbursement Manual (CMS Pub. 15-1), CMS non-institutional reimbursement policies, Medicare cost reimbursement principles in 42 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Part 413 and Section 1861 of the Federal Social Security Act (42 USC, Section 1395x), and 2 CFR, part 200 as implemented by HHS at 45 CFR, part 75. i. “Direct costs” are those costs that are identified by 45 CFR 75.413 that: 1. Can be identified specifically with a particular final cost objective (to meet emergency transportation service requirements), such as a federal award, or other internally or externally funded activity; or 2. Can be directly assigned to such activities relatively easily with a high degree of accuracy. ii. “Indirect costs” means the costs that cannot be readily assigned to a particular cost objective and are those that have been incurred for common or joint purposes. d. Eligible Provider's reported direct and indirect costs are allocated to the Medicaid program by applying a Medicaid utilization statistic ratio, to Medicaid transports associated with paid claims for the dates of service covered by the submitted cost report. 3/16/21

Rehabilitative Services V. Community-Based Substance Use Disorder Services Community-based substance use disorder services are provided in non-hospital community-based settings. From October 1, 2020 through September 30, 2025, medication assisted treatment (MAT) to treat opioid use disorder (OUD) as defined at section 1905(ee)(1) of the Social Security Act is covered exclusively in Supplement to Attachment 3.1-A for 1905(a)(29). Covered Services: A. Comprehensive substance use disorder assessment: (1) Definition of Service: A comprehensive substance use disorder assessment is a process of determining a participant’s current health status and relevant history in areas including substance use, mental health, social supports, and somatic health. Providers use a comprehensive assessment to establish the type and intensity of services participants will need to adequately address their substance use disorder. (2) Service Requirements: Comprehensive substance use disorder assessment at a minimum shall be reviewed and approved by a licensed physician or licensed practitioner of the healing arts, within the scope of his or her practice under State law, and shall include an assessment of drug and alcohol use, as well as substance use disorder treatment history. It shall also include referrals for physical and mental health services; and a recommendation for the appropriate level of substance use disorder treatment. B. Group and individual substance use disorder counseling services (1) Definition of Service: Individual and group counseling sessions involve evidence- based psychotherapeutic interventions. Cognitive- behavioral, motivational, and insight- based techniques are used according to each participant’s needs. The therapeutic style is client-centered and flexible.

(2) Service Requirements: Before providing services described in this section, the provider shall develop a written individualized treatment plan, in conjunction with the participant based on the comprehensive assessment. This plan which shall be updated as clinically appropriate, shall be reviewed and approved by a licensed physician or licensed practitioner of the healing arts within the scope of his or her practice under State law, and shall include: x An assessment of the participant’s individual needs; and x The participant’s treatment plan goals. C. Intensive Outpatient Services (1) Definition of Service: Intensive Outpatient service is a more intense form of treatment than group and individual counseling. This service is either a step-down treatment from more intensive, often inpatient-based care or a step-up when a participant is in need of more intensive services. While less intensive than inpatient care, it provides a substantial range of treatment intensity and bridges the gap between medically managed or medically monitored intensive inpatient treatment and traditional outpatient services of low intensity. Participants participate within an ambulatory therapeutic setting while residing in a separate location. (2) Service Requirements: Before providing Intensive Outpatient Services as described in this section, the provider must develop a written individualized treatment plan, in conjunction with the participant based on the comprehensive assessment. This plan shall be updated as clinically appropriate, shall be reviewed and approved by a licensed physician or licensed practitioner of the healing arts, within the scope of his or her practice under State law. The individualized treatment plan shall include the following requirements: x An assessment of the participant’s individual needs; and x The participant’s treatment plan goals; and x Specific interventions for meeting the treatment plan goals, which reflect the amounts frequencies and intensities appropriate to the objective of the treatment.

Steven Schuh Medicaid Director Maryland Department of Health 201 W. Preston Street, 5th Floor Baltimore, MD 21201
Re: Maryland State Plan Amendment (SPA) 22-0019
Dear Director Schuh:
We have reviewed the proposed amendment to add section 7.4, Medicaid Disaster Relief for the COVID-19 National Emergency to your Medicaid state plan, as submitted under transmittal number (TN) MD-22-0019. This amendment proposes to implement temporary policies, which are different from those policies and procedures otherwise applied under your Medicaid state plan, during the period of the Presidential and Secretarial emergency declarations related to the COVID- 19 outbreak (or any renewals thereof).
On March 13, 2020, the President of the United States issued a proclamation that the COVID- 19 outbreak in the United States constitutes a national emergency by the authorities vested in him by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, including sections 201 and 301 of the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1601 et seq.), and consistent with section 1135 of the Social Security Act (Act). On March 13, 2020, pursuant to section 1135(b) of the Act, the Secretary of the United States Department of Health and Human Services invoked his authority to waive or modify certain requirements of titles XVIII, XIX, and XXI of the Act as a result of the consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic, to the extent necessary, as determined by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), to ensure that sufficient health care items and services are available to meet the needs of individuals enrolled in the respective programs and to ensure that health care providers that furnish such items and services in good faith, but are unable to comply with one or more of such requirements as a result of the COVID- 19 pandemic, may be reimbursed for such items and services and exempted from sanctions for such noncompliance, absent any determination of fraud or abuse. This authority took effect as of 6PM Eastern Standard Time on March 15, 2020, with a retroactive effective date of March 1, 2020. The emergency period will terminate, and this state plan provision will no longer be in effect, upon termination of the public health emergency, including any extensions.
Pursuant to section 1135(b)(5) of the Act, for the period of the public health emergency, CMS is modifying the requirement at 42 C.F.R. 430.20 that the state submit SPAs related to the COVID- 19 public health emergency by the final day of the quarter, to obtain a SPA effective date during
(spa)(md-22-0019)(approval-document)(page-3)Page 3#
the quarter, enabling SPAs submitted after the last day of the quarter to have an effective date in a previous quarter, but no earlier than the effective date of the public health emergency. The State of Maryland also requested a waiver of public notice requirements applicable to the SPA submission process. Pursuant to section 1135(b)(1)(C) of the Act, CMS is waiving public notice requirements applicable to the SPA submission process. Public notice for SPAs is required under 42 C.F.R. §447.205 for changes in statewide methods and standards for setting Medicaid payment rates, 42 C.F.R. §447.57 for changes to premiums and cost sharing, and 42 C.F.R. §440.386 for changes to Alternative Benefit Plans (ABPs). Pursuant to section 1135(b)(1)(C) (to waive) of the Act, as applicable, CMS is approving the state’s request to waive these notice requirements otherwise applicable to SPA submissions. These waivers or modifications of the requirements related to SPA submission timelines and public notice apply only with respect to SPAs that meet the following criteria: (1) the SPA provides or increases beneficiary access to items and services related to COVID-19 (such as by waiving or eliminating cost sharing, increasing payment rates or amending ABPs to add services or providers); (2) the SPA does not restrict or limit payment or services or otherwise burden beneficiaries and providers; and (3) the SPA is temporary, with a specified sunset date that is not later than the last day of the declared COVID-19 public health emergency (or any extension thereof). We nonetheless encourage states to make all relevant information about the SPA available to the public so they are aware of the changes. We conducted our review of your submittal according to the statutory requirements at section 1902(a) of the Act and implementing regulations. This letter informs you that Maryland’s Medicaid SPA Transmittal Number 22-0019 is approved effective July 1, 2022. This SPA is in addition to all previous approved Disaster Relief SPAs, and does not supersede anything approved in those SPAs. Enclosed is a copy of the CMS-179 summary form and the approved state plan pages. Please contact Talbatha Myatt at (215) 861-4259 or by email at Talbatha.Myatt@cms.hhs.gov if you have any questions about this approval. We appreciate the efforts of you and your staff in responding to the needs of the residents of the State of Maryland and the healthcare community.
