Michigan’s Experience

1. Michigan’s Experience Dohn Hoyle

2. Justice Thurgood Marshall described past practices as a “…regime of state mandated segregation and degradation…that in its virulence and bigotry rivaled, and indeed paralleled, the worst excesses of Jim Crow.” City of Cleburne v. Cleburne Living Center 1985

3. The Howell Group Values Based Systems Change VOW- to effect systems change causing the system(s) to fund and do what we already know is right & what people want.

4. Principles of Michigan’s Waiver Renewal and Tenets for Managed Care • The honoring of each person’s preferences and choices including the presumption of competence and interpreting behavior as communication • Doctors and other professionals would serve in consultative roles and their involvement would be only as desired or needed. • Regular individual feedback and a focus on the outcomes the individual wants would form the basis for quality assurance.

5. Principles of Michigan’s Waiver Renewal and Tenets for Managed Care continued • Self-determination would govern peoples’ lives and they would have choice and control over their own budgets according to their desires. • The person who coordinates supports would play a personal agent role to help an individual achieve the outcomes they wished. • Informal and generic supports would be considered prior to the implementation of supports through the Waiver • External people and anyone unwanted would not intrude in the lives of the individuals served by the waiver

6. Desirable Elements ofManaged Care are: • A single funding stream • Capitation with growth • Local discretion • Shared risk or stop loss • People on waiting lists must be served

7. Howell Group Premises for Managed Care • We welcome change • We want what the waiver promised • Since prospects for new money are low, the re-direction of public dollars offer the most efficient possible use of public dollars • Control the growth rate of expenses • Carve out presents an opportunity

8. Howell Group Proposal on Managed Care Implementation Goals • Fulfill the promise of the Code revisions • Individualize Supports • Eliminate barriers • Contain the rise of costs for services that do add value • Provide needed and desired services for those on waiting lists

9. Person Centered Planning +A Support Model of Services can=Persons with Disabilities “Getting a Life” “Person-Centered Planning means a process for planning and supporting the individual receiving services that builds upon the individual’s capacity to engage in activities that promote community life and that honors the individual’s preferences, choices, and abilities.

INDIVIDUALIZED SUPPORTS AND SERVICES Many people receiving services want: • To receive individualized supports • Services targeted toward their specific needs and preferences • To receive their services in typical community locations • A benefit package including only their desired/needed supports and services

18. SUPPORTS AND SERVICES The reason for defining the “alternative” supports and services is to: • Identify an acceptable array of service/support options • Which can be provided on an individualized and very flexible basis • Depending on the desires and needs of the person • To establish mechanisms to track what services/supports are delivered

19. INDIVIDUALIZED SUPPORTS AND SERVICES • To accomplish this ALL planning must be person centered’ • Each person’s “benefit package” will look different because people have different: • needs • desires • natural supports • community supports

20. ELIGIBILITY • Eligibility established by the Mental Health Code • DD Definition parallels federal definition • Mental Health Code specifies that: • priority shall be given to the provision of services to individuals in urgent or emergent situations” (Chapter 2, 330.1208) • Eligibility for Medicaid establishes an entitlement
