  1. STATE BEHAVIORAL HEALTH LEADERSHIP IN A CHANGING HEALTH CARE ENVIRONMENT Pamela S. Hyde, J.D. SAMHSA Administrator SAMHSA SSDP Conference Baltimore, MD • July 30, 2012

  2. TODAY’S DISCUSSION

  3. A PUBLIC HEALTH MODEL FOCUSES ON PEOPLE & COMMUNITIES • People – NOT money, diseases, programs, or authorities • People come with multiple diseases/conditions, social determinants, cultural backgrounds and beliefs • People come to multiple settings – primary or specialty care, schools, courts, places of worship, through social media • Healthy productive satisfying lives without disorder or in recovery are the outcomes we seek • Communities – People w/ common geography, culture, language, beliefs, or characteristics focusing together on common good • Health and disease/disorder occurs and is promoted or prevented in communities • State/Territorial/Tribal governments can help or be a barrier • Requires collaboration

  4. PUBLIC HEALTH MODEL FOR BEHAVIORAL HEALTH

  5. MISUNDERSTANDING LEADS TO INSUFFICIENT RESPONSES

  6. BEHAVIORAL HEALTH IS NOT A MORAL OR SOCIAL PROBLEM • Social/moral problem context focuses on problems: • Homelessness • Crime/jails • Child welfare problems • School performance or youth behavior problems • Provider/system/institutional/government needs or failures • Public tragedies • Public (and public officials) often misunderstand, blame, discriminate, make moral judgments, exclude • Ambivalence about worth of individuals affected and investment in prevention/treatment/recovery • Ambivalence about ability to impact “problems” “caused” by persons with behavioral health needs

  7. INTEGRATING INTO HEALTH CARE & COMMUNITY SETTINGS

  10. FY 2013 LIKELY SCENARIOS • President’s Budget, Senate Committee Mark, and House Subcommittee Mark • All signal positions, not decisions • CR Through December or March • How long and how much depends . . . • Likely equal to or less than FY 2012 • Sequester Jan 2013 = ~ 7.8 percent ↓ from FY12 • Applied to FY 2013 (enacted or CR) • Exec’s/OMB’s role by September

  11. SAMHSA’S FY 2014 PRINCIPLES(IF POSSIBLE . . .) • Maintain ~ Ratio of BG to Discretionary Dollars (~65/35) • Assumptions re health reform impacting need • Maintain Ratio of SA and MH Funding (~ 70/30) • Avoid Terminations/Reductions of Existing Awards • Continue Holistic Approach through Joint Funding • Build Off Innovations from Previous Funding Cycles • Maintain Support for SAMHSA’s Strategic Initiatives; Target Available Funding for Top Priorities

  12. HEALTH REFORM - OPPORTUNITIES

  13. CHANGING HEALTH CARE ENVIRONMENT Role of States Increasing Integration Rather than Silo’d Care – Parity Prevention and Wellness Rather than Illness Access to Coverage and Care Rather than Significant Parts of America Uninsured – Parity Recovery Rather than Chronicity or Disability Quality Rather than Quantity – Cost Controls Through Better Care Rather than More Care

  14. SAMHSA’S HEALTH REFORM PRIORITIES – FY 2012 AND FY 2013 • Uniform Block Grant Application FYs 2014 & FY 2015 • In Fed Reg for 60-day public comment as of 7-13-12 • Enrollment Preparation • Exchanges and Qualified Health Plans • Parity in Medicaid and Essential Benefits • Provider Capacity Development and Workforce • Work with States and Medicaid • Health homes, rules/regs, service definitions and evidence, screening, prevention, duals, PBHCI, payment issues • Parity – MHPAEA/ACA Implementation & Communication • Quality (NBHQF) and Data (including HIT)

  20. FOCUS: BENCHMARK PLANS • Serves as Reference Plan • Reflecting scope of services and limits offered by a “typical employer plan” in that state • Parity applies • States Allowed to Select a Single Benchmark Plan: • 1 of 3 largest small group market plans (default), or • 1 of 3 largest state employee plans, or • 1 of 3 largest federal employee plans, or • Largest HMO plan in a state • EHB Mini Rule – Thru 9/30/12 Critical

  21. BENCHMARK PLANS • If State Does Not Select, Default To Largest Plan By Enrollment In Largest Product in Small Group Market • Must Include All10 Essential Health Benefit Categories Regardless What Selected Benchmark Plan Covers/Excludes • Supplement from other plans if category not sufficiently covered • Substitution within categories • Parity Applies in Individual, Small & Large Group Markets • Both MHPAEA and ACA parity requirements • Parity work within HHS and with DOL and Treasury

  22. BENCHMARK AND EHB REVIEW • HHS Will Assess Benchmark Process for 2016 • State choices in 2012 will remain for two years (2014 & 2015) • Periodically Review and Update EHBs • Difficulties with access due to coverage or cost • Changes in medical evidence or scientific advancement • Market changes • Coverage affordability • SAMHA’s Good and Modern Service Definitions & Assessing the Evidence Process Will Inform

  23. QUALIFIED HEALTH PLANS – NETWORK ADEQUACY • Qualified Health Plans (QHPs) • Offered through affordable health exchanges (marketplaces) • State choice to set up exchange or use federally facilitated exchange (FFE) • QHPs’ Networks – Providers Sufficient In Number/Types To Assure Services Accessible w/o Unreasonable Delay • Encourages QHPs to provide sufficient access to broad range of MH/SUD services, particularly in low-income & underserved communities • Highlights MH/SUD providers – must be sufficient providers available to deliver!
