IntroductiontoMedicaid
• Established in 1965 as part of President Johnson’s “Great Society”
• Medicaid is an entitlement program initially established to provide medical assistance to individuals and families receiving cash assistance, or “welfare.”
• Federally and State funded, and State administered.• Functions like most commercial health insurance but
with broader support for home/community based care and other critical areas.
• Created a jobs engine in state and local economies.• A growing percentage of Medicaid beneficiaries receive
their care through managed care arrangements.• Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA)
provides Medicaid expansion opportunity (coverage up to 138% of poverty).
TheMedicaidITEnterprise
§ Medicaid Management Information System (MMIS)Enrolls providers, processes claims, detects fraud and waste, generates reports
§ Eligibility and Enrollment systems (E&E)Determines eligibility and enrolls beneficiaries into Medicaid
§ State Level Repositories (SLRs) Collects HITECH Meaningful Use data from providers
§ Electronic quality measures systems Collect, clean, analyze and store electronic clinical quality information
The Medicaid Enterprise is a system of systems, composed of

WhatisanMMIS?
What?A Medicaid Management Information System (MMIS) is an integrated group of procedures and computer processing operations – it is the primary system for administering Medicaid claims in each state. Objectives of the MMIS include Title XIX program control and administrative costs; service to recipients, providers and inquiries; operations of claims control and computer capabilities; and management reporting for planning and control.*

Contractual services may be used in the design, development, installation, or enhancement of a mechanized claims processing and information retrieval system.
Most MMIS are developed and operated under contract with a “fiscal agent” who is a private contractor to the state; some are state-run
Enhanced Federal Financial Participation (FFP) up to 90 percent of costs to design/build and 75 percent of costs to operate the MMIS

Goal/Mission Statement• Develop a sustainable precertification process to assist State Medicaid
Agencies in their procurement of MMIS solutions by providing, for their consideration, CMS evaluated vendor solutions that are modular, reusable and have been demonstrated to meet Medicaid business functions
Objectives• Spur innovation and competition in the Medicaid IT marketplace• Reduce risk for states and CMS by encouraging state use of modular,
reusable CMS pre-certified solutions• Facilitate modularity & interoperability among Medicaid systems through
open APIs and common, agreed-upon standards • Reduce effort and burden on CMS, states, and vendors for MMIS

OpportunitiesforNewEntrantsinMedicaidIT
• New business models• Shared services (intra and inter state) • Administrative Service Organization (ASO)
• Adaptation of existing business solutions from comparable sectors• Banking, commercial healthcare, or large provider systems
• Technologies to improve integration across multiple health and human services programs
• Integration of Medicaid IT systems with federal and local Human Services IT systems
• Supplemental Nutrition and Assistance Program (SNAP) and Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF)
• State-specific program IT systems.

Ø Separate development into 4 phases
Ø Have a single product owner through MVP
Ø Involve states early and often
Ø Manage requirements centrally and publicly
Ø Follow an iterative development (Agile-like) process
Ø Use OS IV&V to oversee open source development
Ø Automate testing, focus on APIs, provide sample data
Ø Simplify codecontributionand automate deployment
OS IV&V
PSMApproach
13
•Core development team now working in an open repository
•Coordinated state partnerships
•Acquired sample screening data from partner federal agencies
Central Authority
•Working with state teams during development
•Provide development team with state-specific provider types and external data sources
•Test system on a two week cycle and provide UI/workflow feedback
States’ Contribution
• Issue tracker integrates feedback from testers and SMEs
• Migrated away from proprietary dependencies
• Improved deployment documentation and automation
• Catalogued and documented APIs
• Tested access to federal data source with sample data

Projected Long-termOutcomes
lStates gain control and flexibility over screening
process
lImproved state process for exchanging data with federal databases, other external data sources,
and each other
lPSM meets State Medicaid Director Letter (SMDL) on Modularity
guidelines
lPSM is a model for procuring, developing, and maintaining shared
modules
§Vendors bid for support work competitively :
§New vendors enter this market§Recurring IT costs of provider
screening are reduced
§Available as a pre-certified module for PSM

OtherCMCSOpen-SourceProject:Cedar
Cedar is an open-source tool for testing the strength of eCQM collection systems that receive Quality Reporting Document Architecture (QRDA)
files
To learn more, and for a link to github site, go to www.projectcedar.org16
HowisCedarintendedtobeused?
• As a Complement to Cypress, popHealth, Bonnie, and Tacoma
• to improve the overall quality reporting ecosystem
• By measure collectors• to ensure that eCQM collection systems are correctly identifying
common errors, either via one-time testing or regression testing to structure conversations with EHR vendors re: QRDA file rejections
• By the open source community• to update the tool to address newly identified errors and
updated eCQM specifications, etc., and integrate the tool with existing systems 17
