ATTACHMENT A
adopt and disseminate policy with respect to required minimum professional
qualifications for direct service personnel in the CA Access Management System
and the treatment provider network, applicable both to salaried or contractual
personnel. In addition, the CA must:
a. Require all treatment provider panel members to establish and maintain a
credentials file on all salaried or contractual staff who are providing clinical
services.
b. Ensure that criminal background checks are conducted as a condition of
employment for its own potential employees and for network provider

9. Monitoring of Subcontractors
The CA is required to assure that subcontractors comply with all applicable
requirements contained in this agreement. To this end, the CA must adopt
written policy and must implement procedures regarding monitoring of
subcontractors. The monitoring policy and procedures must be consistent with
requirements in this agreement, with the current MDCH substance abuse audit
guidelines, and with applicable federal Office of Management and Budget (OMB)
circulars. The CA must prepare a report of monitoring findings, and must make
this report available to the public at least biannually.
Part II of the agreement, section I.H on Sub-recipientNendor Monitoring, requires
that contractors conduct monitoring and risk-based assessments of sub-
recipients during the period of the agreement. The CA must conduct monitoring
and risk-based assessments of all subcontractors, during the period of the
agreement, including subcontractors that are vendors.
Administrative and Financial
1. Match Rules
Pursuant to Section 6213 of Public Act No. 368 of 1978, as amended, Michigan
has promulgated match requirement rules. Rules 325.4151 through 325.4153
appear in the 1981 Annual Administrative Code Supplement. In brief, the rule
defines allowable matching fund sources and states that the allowable match
Page 4 of 30 FY2007 (09.19.06)
ATTACHMENT A
must equal at least ten percent of each comprehensive CA budget (see
Attachment B to the Agreement) - less direct federal and other state funds.
Match requirements apply both to budgeted funds during the agreement period
and to actual expenditures at year-end.
"Fees and collections" as defined in the Rule include only those fees and
collections that are associated with services paid for by the CA.
If the CA is found not to be in compliance with Match requirements, or cannot
provide reasonable evidence of compliance, the Department may withhold
payment or recover payment in an amount equal to the amount of the Match
shortfall.
2. Reporting Fees and Collections Revenues
The CA is required to report on the Revenue and Expenditures Report (RER) all
fees and collections revenue received by the CA and all fees and collections
revenue received and reported by its contracted services providers (see
Attachment B to this Agreement). "Fees and collections" are as defined in the
Annual Administrative Code Supplement, Rule 325.4151 and in the Match Rule
section of this Attachment.
3. Management of Department-Administered Funds
The CA shall manage all Department-administered funds under its control in
such a way as to assure reasonable balance among the separate requirements
for each funds source.
4. Sliding Fee Scale
The CA shall implement a sliding fee scale. All treatment providers shall utilize
the scale. The CA must adopt written policies and implement procedures for
determining when an individual has no ability to pay for services and for
determining when payment liability is to be waived.
Financial information needed to determine ability to pay (financial responsibility)
must be reviewed annually or at a change in an individual's financial status,
whichever occurs sooner.
The CA sliding fee scale must be applied to all persons (except Medicaid,
MIChild, and ABW recipients) seeking substance abuse services funded in whole
or in part by the CA. The CA has the option to charge fees for AMS services, or
not to charge. If the CA charges for AMS services, the same sliding fee scale as
applied to treatment services must be used.
Page 5 of 30 FY2007 (09.19.06)
ATTACHMENT A
The CA must assure that all available sources of payments are identified and
applied prior to the use of Department-administered funds. The CA must have
written policies and procedures to be used by network providers in determining
an individual's ability to pay, and in identifying all other liable third parties. The
CA must also have policies and procedures for monitoring providers and for
sanctioning noncompliance.
5. Inability to Pay
Services may not be denied because of inability to pay. If a person's income falls
within the CA's regional sliding fee scale, clinical need must be determined
through the standard assessment and patient placement process. If a financially
and clinically eligible person has third party insurance, that insurance must be
utilized to its full extent. Then, if benefits are exhausted, or if the person needs a
service not fully covered by that third party insurance, or if the co-pay or
deductible amount is greater than the person's ability to pay, Community Grant
funds may be applied. Community Grant funds may not be denied solely on the
basis of a person having third party insurance.
6. Subcontracts with Hospitals
Funds made available through the Department shall not be made available to
public or private hospitals which refuse, solely on the basis of an individual's
substance abuse or substance dependence, admission or treatment for
emergency medical conditions.
7. Residency in CA Region
The CA may not limit access to the programs and services funded by this
Agreement only to the residents of the CA's region, because the funds provided
by the Department under this Agreement come from federal and statewide
resources. Members of federal and state-identified priority populations must be
given access to AMS and/or treatment services, consistent with the requirements
of this Agreement, regardless of their residency. However, for non-priority
populations, the CA may give its residents priority in obtaining services funded
under this Agreement when the actual demand for services by residents eligible
for services under this Agreement exceeds the capacity of the programs funded
under this Agreement.
8. Out-of- Network and Out-of-Region Services
The CA must have written policies and procedures for authorizing and
purchasing treatment services from out-of-network and out-of-region providers
for residents of the CA region who need care from such providers.
9. Reimbursement Rates for Community Grant. Medicaid and Other Services
Page 6 of 30 FY2007 (09.19.06)
ATTACHMENT A
The CA must pay the same rate when purchasing the same service from the
same provider, regardless of whether the services are paid for by Community
Grant funds, Medicaid funds, or other Department administered funds, including
Adult Benefit Waiver (ABW) and MIChild funds.
10. Reimbursement for Primary Health Care with HIV Early Intervention
Program (EIP) Funds
HIV Early Intervention Program funds shall not be used to purchase primary
health care unless the Department approves such use in writing.
11. Minimum Criteria for Reimbursina for Services to Persons with Co-
Occurring Disorders
Department funds made available to the CA through this Agreement, and which
are allowable for treatment services, may be used to reimburse providers for
mental health treatment services (in addition to substance abuse treatment
services) to persons with co-occurring substance abuse and mental health
disorders.
The CA may reimburse a Community Mental Health Services Program (CMHSP)
or Pre-paid Inpatient Health Plan (PIHP) for substance abuse treatment services
for such persons who are receiving mental health treatment services through the
CMHSP or PIHP. The CA may also reimburse a provider, other than a CMHSP
or PIHP, for substance abuse treatment provided to persons with co-occurring
disorders. As always, when reimbursing for substance abuse treatment, the CA
must have an agreement with the CMHSP (or other provider); and the CMHSP
(or other provider) must meet all minimum qualifications, including licensure,
accreditation and data reporting.
12. Media Campaigns
A media campaign, very broadly, is a message or series of messages conveyed
through mass media channels including print, broadcast, and electronic media.
Messages regarding the availability of services in the CA region are not
considered to be media campaigns. Media campaigns must be compatible with
MDCH values, be coordinated with MDCH campaigns whenever feasible and
costs must be proportionate to likely outcomes. The CA shall not finance any
media campaign using MDCH funding unless authorized in writing by MDCH.
13. Notice of Funding Excess or Insufficiency
The CA must advise the Department in writing by May 1 if the amount of
Department funding may not be used in its entirety or appears to be insufficient.

processing system logs the dates and times the batches were transferred
and processed. When the system is in production, monthly submissions
by the CAs are required. Data submissions are monitored daily by MDCH
staff.
d. Data Completeness
The CA is responsible for submitting 100% of required records. Initial
submissions combined with error corrections and resubmissions must
result in an accuracy rate of 100%.
On the second working day of every calendar month, the Department will
send to the CA an error rate or acceptance rate notification based on the
number of errors in its error master file. This notification will serve as an
advisory for both MDCH and the CA.
On or before April 30, the CA is required to submit a live count (e-mail
transaction) from its information system noting the first six-month total
counts of admissions, discharges, and encounters (by code). This is
required for consultation purposes to identify whether the CA's
submissions to MDCH show shortages compared to its local counts. The
Department will notify the CA of its acceptance rate, If the CA's
acceptance rates are less than 98% for admission/discharge data and less
than 95% for encounters, the Department will notify the CA that
improvement is needed.
On or before November 30, the CA is required to submit the full 12-month
FY total counts of admissions, discharges, and encounters (by code).
This will also be submitted via e-mail. MDCH will calculate and
Page 9 of 30 FY2007 (09.19.06)
ATTACHMENT A
acceptance rate for all three, and generate a report back to the CA. Once
the acceptance rates are returned, if the 98% (admissions and
discharges) or 95% (encounters) acceptance thresholds are not met, out
of compliance CAs will have until December 31 to meet the acceptance
threshold.
The FY data sets will be finalized the first week of January, and shortages
in admissions, discharges, and/or encounters will be reflected in all of
MDCH's reports both to the public and to the legislature.
e. National Outcome Measures (NOMS)
The emergence of the NOMS increases the importance of data
completeness, accuracy and timeliness of admission and discharge
records. It is the responsibility of the CA to ensure that the client
information reported on these records accurately reflects client status at
admission and on the last day of service.
16. Critical Incidents and Sentinel Events
The CA must require all of its residential treatment providers to prepare and file
critical incident reports and sentinel event reports that include the following
components:
1. Provider determination whether critical incidents are sentinel events.
2. Following identification as a sentinel event, the provider must ensure that
a root cause analysis or investigation takes place.
3. Based on the outcome of the analysis or investigation, the provider must
ensure that a plan of action is developed and implemented to prevent
further occurrence of the sentinel event. The plan must identify who is
responsible for implementing the plan, and how implementation will be
monitored. Alternatively, the provider may prepare a rationale for not
pursuing a preventive plan.
The CA is responsible for oversight of the above processes.
Requirements for reporting data on Sentinel Events are contained in Attachment
F. These reporting requirements are narrower in scope than the responsibility to
identify and follow up on critical incidents and sentinel events.
A Critical Incident is any of the following that should be reviewed to determine
whether it meets the criteria for a sentinel event below:
1. Death of a recipient.
Page 10 of 30 FY2007 (09.19.06)
ATTACHMENT A
2. Serious illness requiring admission to hospital.
3. Alleged cause of abuse or neglect.
4. Accident resulting in injury to recipient requiring emergency room visit or
hospital admission.
5. Behavioral episode.
6. Arrest and/or conviction.
7. Medication error.
A Sentinel Event is an "unexpected occurrence involving death or serious
physical or psychological injury", or the risk thereof. Serious injury specifically
includes loss of limb or function. The phrase, "or risk thereof' includes any
process variation for which a recurrence would carry a significant chance of a
serious adverse outcome." (JCAHO, 1998)
17. Claims Management System
The CA shall make timely payments to all providers for clean claims. This
includes payment at 90% or higher of clean claims from network providers within
60 days of receipt, and 99% or higher of all clean claims within 90 days of
receipt.
A clean claim is a valid claim completed in the format and time frames specified
by the CA and that can be processed without obtaining additional information
from the provider. It does not include a claim from a provider who is under
investigation for fraud or abuse, or a claim under review for medical necessity. A
valid claim is a claim for services that the CA is responsible for under this
Agreement. It includes services authorized by the CA.
The CA must have a provider appeal process to promptly and fairly resolve
provider-billing disputes.
18. Care Management
The CA may pay for care management. Care management is in recognition that
some clients represent such service or financial risk that closer monitoring of
individual cases is warranted. Care management must be purchased and
reported consistent with the instructions for the Administrative Expenditures
Report in Attachment B to this agreement.
Services
1. General Services
a. 12-Month Availability of Services
Page 11 of 30 FY2007 (09.19.06)
ATTACHMENT A
The CA shall assure that, for any subcontracted treatment or prevention
service, each subcontractor maintains service availability throughout the
fiscal year for persons who do not have the ability to pay.
b. Persons Associated with the Corrections System
When the CA or its AMS services receives referrals from the Michigan
Department of Corrections (MDOC), the CA shall handle such referrals as
per all applicable requirements in this agreement. This would include
determining financial and clinical eligibility, authorizing care as
appropriate, applying admissions preferences, and other steps. MDOC
referrals may come from probation or parole agents, or from Central Office
staff.
When persons who are on parole or probation seek treatment on a
voluntary basis from the CA's AMS services or from a panel provider,
these self-referrals must be handled like any other self-referral to the
MDCH-funded network. AMS or provider staff may seek to obtain
releases to communicate with a person's probation or parole agent but in
no instance may this be demanded as a condition for admission or
continued stay.
The CA may collaborate with MDOC, and with the Office of Community
Corrections (OCC) within MDOC, on the purchase of substance abuse
services and supports. This may include collaborative purchasing from
the same providers, and for the same clients. In such situations, the CA
must assure that:
1. All collaborative purchasing is supported by written agreements
among the participants.
2. Rates paid to providers, whether by a single purchaser or two or
more purchasers, do not exceed provider costs.
3. Rates paid to providers are documented and are developed
consistent with applicable OMB Circular(s).
4. No duplication of payment occurs.
c. State Disability Assistance (SDA)
MDCH continues to allocate SDA funding and to delegate management of
this funding to the CA. The SDA funding is identified in the CA's allocation
letter. The CA is responsible for allocating these funds to qualified
providers. Minimum provider qualifications are MDCH licensure as a
residential treatment provider and accreditation by one of the five
approved accreditation bodies (identified elsewhere in this Agreement). A
provider may be located within the CA's region or outside of the region.
Page 12 of 30 FY2007 (09.19.06)
ATTACHMENT A
SDA funds shall not be used to pay for room and board in conjunction with
sub-acute detoxification services.
When a client is determined to be eligible by the Michigan Department of
Human Services (MDHS) for SDA funding, the CA where the provider is
located must arrange for assessment and authorization for SDA room and
board funding and must reimburse for SDA expenditures based on billings
from providers in its region, consistent with CA/provider agreements. In
addition, the CA may authorize such services for its own residents at
providers within or outside its region.
The CA shall not refuse to authorize SDA funds for support of an
individual's treatment solely on the basis of the individual's current or past
involvement with the criminal justice system. Qualified providers may be
reimbursed up to twenty-four dollars ($24.00) per day for room and board
costs for SDA-eligible persons during their stays in Residential treatment.
To be eligible for SDA funding for room and board services in a substance
abuse treatment program, a person must be determined to be eligible for
an incidental allowance through the MDHS; determined by the CA or its
designee to be in need of residential treatment services; authorized by the
CA for residential treatment when the CA expects to reimburse the
provider for the treatment; at least 18 years of age or an emancipated
minor, and in residence in a residential treatment program each day that
SDA payments are made.
The CA must have a written agreement with a provider in order to provide
SDA funds.
d. Persons Involved With the Michigan Department of Human Services
(MDHS)
The CA must work with the MDHS office(s) in its region to facilitate access
to prevention, assessment and treatment services for persons involved
with MDHS, including families in the child welfare system and public
assistance recipients.
e. Primary Care Coordination
The CA must take all appropriate steps to assure that substance abuse
treatment services are coordinated with primary health care. In the case
of CAs that are under contract with PIHPs for the Medicaid substance
abuse program, CAs are reminded that coordination efforts must be
consistent with these contracts.
Page 13 of 30 FY2007 (09.19.06)
g.
ATTACHMENT A
Treatment case files must include, at minimum, the primary care
physician's name and address, a signed waiver release of information for
purposes of coordination, or a statement that the client has refused to sign
this waiver.
Care coordination agreements or joint referral agreements, by themselves,
are not sufficient to show that the CA has taken all appropriate steps
related to coordination of care. Client case file documentation is also
necessary.
f. Cultural Competence
CA must have a written cultural competency plan implemented in practice
at their agency and at all provider agencies. The plan must include:
1. The CA's identification and assessment of the cultural needs of
potential and active clients based on population served.
2. The CA's identification of how access to services is facilitated for
persons with diverse cultural backgrounds and Limited English
Proficiency (LEP).
3. The CA's identification standards for the recruitment and hiring of
culturally competent staff members.
4. The CA's identification of how ongoing staff training needs in
cultural competency will be assessed and met and the evidence
that staff members receive training.
5. The CA's process for ensuring that panel providers comply with all
applicable requirements concerning the provision of culturally
competent services.
6. The CA's process for annually assessing its compliance with the
CA's cultural competence plan.
Charitable Choice
The September 30, 2003 Federal Register (45 CFR part 96) contains
federal Charitable Choice SAPT block grant regulations, which apply to
both prevention and treatment providers/programs. In summary, the
regulations require: 1) that the designation of religious (or faith-based)
organizations as such be based on the organization's self-identification as
religious (or faith based), 2) that these organizations are eligible to
participate as providers—e.g. a "level playing field" with regard to
participating in the CA provider panel, 3) that a program beneficiary
Page 14 of 30 FY2007 (09.19.06)
ATTACHMENT A
receiving services from such an organization who objects to the religious
character of a program has a right to notice, referral, and alternative
services which meet standards of timeliness, capacity, accessibility and
equivalency—and ensuring contact to this alternative provider, and 4)
other requirements, including-exclusion of inherently religious activities
and non-discrimination.
The CA is required to comply with all applicable requirements of the
Charitable Choice regulations. The CA must ensure that treatment clients
and prevention service recipients are notified of their right to request
alternative services. Notice may be provided by the AMS or by providers
that are faith-based. Notification must be in the form of the model notice
contained in the final regulations, or the CA may request written approval
from MDCH of an equivalent notice.
The CA must also ensure that its AMS administer the processing of
requests for alternative services.
The model notice contained in the federal regulations is:
"No provider of substance abuse services receiving Federal funds
from the U.S. Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services
Administration, including this organization, may discriminate against
you on the basis of religion, a religious belief, a refusal to hold a
religious belief, or a refusal to actively participate in a religious
practice.
If you object to the religious character of this organization, Federal
law gives you the right to a referral to another provider of substance
abuse services. The referral, and your receipt of alternative
services, must occur within a reasonable period of time after you
request them. The alternative provider must be accessible to you
and have the capacity to provide substance abuse services. The
services provided to you by the alternative provider must be of a
value not less than the value of the services you would have
received from this organization."
h. Americans with Disabilities Act
The CA and its contractors must comply with applicable provisions of the
Americans with Disabilities Act (the ADA). Further information may be
found at:
Nondiscrimination on the Basis of Disability in State and Local
Government Services: United States Code of Federal Regulations, Title
28, Part 35, Washington, D.C. (1991).

i. Limited English Proficiency
The CAs must insure a current Limited English Proficiency
(LEP) policy is in place and in practice. The CA must also have
documentation that all providers have implemented the required LEP
policy and procedures and are in compliance with related Federal and
State requirements. The LEP policies and procedures must include the
following, as required by the Office of Civil Rights.
1. Procedures for identifying and assessing the language needs of the
CA, individual provider and the geographic area served. Needs
must be based on current local and regional census data, as well
as other state and regional data.
2. Identified range of oral language assistance options appropriate to
the CAs circumstances.
3. How the CA provides notice to LEP persons, in their primary
language, of the right to free language assistance.
4. What staff training and program monitoring is performed related to
LEP policies and procedures.
5. Provisions for written materials in language other than English
where a significant number or percentage of the affected population
needs services or information in a language other than English, to
communicate effectively.
6. Provisions for language interpreters who are trained and
competent.
7. Statements explaining timely assistance.
8. Statements explaining there will be no charge to the LEP recipient
for these services.
9. Provisions regarding use of family member and/or friend as a
language interpreter must not be required. Should the consumer
choose to use family or friend as an interpreter, both the offering of
other resources, and the consumer's choice, must be documented
in writing. Availability of consumer family and friends as
translator/interpreter will not waive other LEP requirements herein
described.

ATTACHMENT A
2. Treatment Services
a. Medical Necessity Criteria For Substance Abuse Supports And
Services
The CA must assure that treatment service authorization and
reauthorization decisions are consistent with the following Medical
Necessity Criteria. These criteria are substantively the same as the
applicable criteria for substance abuse Medicaid services.
1.0 Medical Necessity Criteria
1.1 "Medically necessary" substance abuse services are
supports, services, and treatment:
1.1.1 Necessary for screening and assessing the presence
of substance use disorder; and/or
1.1.2 Required to identify and evaluate a substance use
disorder; and/or
1.1.3 Intended to treat, ameliorate, diminish or stabilize the
symptoms of a substance use disorder; and/or
1.1.4 Expected to arrest or delay the progression of a
substance use disorder; and/or
1.1.5 Designed to assist the individual to attain or maintain
a sufficient level of functioning in order to achieve
his/her goals of community inclusion and participation,
independence, recovery or productivity.
1.2 The determination of a medically necessary support, service
or treatment must be:
1.2.1 Based on information provided by the individual,
individual's family, and/or other individuals (e.g.,
friends, personal assistants/aide) who know the
individual; and
1.2.2 Based on clinical information from the individual's
primary care physician or clinicians with relevant
qualifications who have evaluated the individual; and
1.2.3 Based on individualized treatment planning; and
1.2.4 Made by appropriately trained substance abuse
professionals with sufficient clinical experience; and
1.2.5 Made within federal and state standards for
timeliness; and
1.2.6 Sufficient in amount, scope and duration of the
service(s) to reasonably achieve its/their purpose.
Page 17 of 30 FY2007 (09,19.06)
ATTACHMENT A
1.3 Supports, services and treatment authorized by the CA must
be:
1.3.1 Delivered in accordance with federal and state
standards for timeliness in a location that is
accessible to the individual; and
1.3.2 Responsive to particular needs of multi-cultural
populations and furnished in a culturally relevant
manner; and
1.3.3 Provided in the least restrictive, most integrated
setting. Residential or other segregated settings shall
be used only when less restrictive levels of treatment,
service or support have been, for that beneficiary,
unsuccessful or cannot be safely provided; and
1.3.4 Delivered consistent with, where they exist, available
research findings, health care practice guidelines and
standards of practice issued by professionally
recognized organizations or government agencies.
1.4 Using criteria for medical necessity, a CA may:
1.4.1 Deny services a) that are deemed ineffective for a
given condition based upon professionally and
scientifically recognized and accepted standards of
care; b) that are experimental or investigational in
nature; or c) for which there exists another
appropriate, efficacious, less-restrictive and cost-
effective service, setting or support, that otherwise
satisfies the standards for medically-necessary
services; and/or
1.4.2 Employ various methods to determine amount, scope
and duration of services, including prior authorization
for certain services, concurrent utilization reviews,
centralized assessment and referral, gate-keeping
arrangements, protocols, and guidelines.
1.4.3 A CA may not deny services solely based on
PRESET limits of the cost, amount, scope, and
duration of services; but instead determination of the
need for services shall be conducted on an
individualized basis. This does not preclude the
establishment of quantitative benefit limits that are
based on industry standards and consistent with 1.3.4
above, and that are provisional and subject to
modification based on individual clinical needs and
clinical progress.
b. Clinical Eligibility: DSM IV-TR Diagnosis
Page 18 of 30 FY2007 (09.19.06)
ATTACHMENT A
In order to be eligible for treatment services purchased in whole or part by
state-administered funds under the agreement, an individual must be
found to meet the criteria for one or more selected substance use
disorders found in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental
Disorders (DSM IV-TR). These disorders are listed below. This
requirement is not intended to prohibit use of these funds for family
therapy. It is recognized that persons receiving family therapy do not
necessarily have substance use disorders.

ATTACHMENT A
c. Satisfaction Surveys
The CA shall assure that all network subcontractors providing treatment
conduct satisfaction surveys of persons receiving treatment at least once
a year. Surveys may be conducted by individual providers or may be
conducted centrally by the CA. Clients may be active clients or clients
discharged up to 12 months prior to their participation in the survey.
Surveys may be conducted by mail, telephone, or face-to-face. The CA
must compile findings and results of client satisfaction surveys for all
providers, and must make findings and results, by provider, available to
the public.
d. MIChild
MIChild Covered Services
The CA must use its standardized assessment process, including the
American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM) Patient Placement
Criteria, to determine clinical eligibility for services based on medical
necessity.
Substance abuse services are covered when medically necessary as
determined by the CA. This benefit should be construed the same as are
medical benefits in a managed care program. Inpatient (hospital-based)
services are covered, but the CA is permitted to substitute less costly
services outside the hospital if they meet the medical needs of the patient.
In the same way, the CA may substitute services for inpatient or
residential services if they meet the child's needs and they are more cost
effective.
Covered services are as follows:
1. Outpatient Treatment
2. Residential Treatment
3. Inpatient Treatment
4. Laboratory and Pharmacy
These benefits apply only when a CA's employed or contracted physician
writes a prescription for pharmacy items or lab.
Eligibility
Eligible persons are persons of age 18 or less who are determined eligible
for the MIChild program by the MDCH and enrolled by the Department's
administrative vendor and live in the region covered by the CA. The CA is
responsible for determining eligibility and for charging all authorized and
Page 20 of 30 FY2007 (09.19.06)
ATTACHMENT A
allowable services to the MIChild program up to the CA's annual MIChild
revenues.
Per Enrolled Child Per Month
Quarterly, MDCH will provide the CA with the federal share of MIChild
funds as a per capita payment based upon a Per Enrolled Child Per Month
(PECPM) methodology for MIChild covered services. Included with these
funds will be an electronic copy of the names of the MIChild enrollees
forming the basis of these calculations.
The PECPM funding is a per capita payment for medically necessary
MIChild-covered services including outpatient, residential and inpatient
services as authorized by the CA. If the MIChild capitation is not sufficient
to serve the MIChild enrollees, use of state-allocated Community Grant
funds is allowed. Federal SAPT Block Grant funds may not be used for
inpatient care. The M1Child PECPM rate is $.33 (33 cents) per month.
Data Collection and Reporting
The CA must account separately for expenses related to MIChild
enrollees. Reporting of MIChild revenues and expenditures will be
through the Revenues and Expenditures Report as indicated in
Attachment B to this Agreement. In the event that program costs are less
than PECPM revenues, the CA may retain the balance as local funds.
Enrollees who receive substance abuse services must be entered into the
Substance Abuse Statewide Client Data System following the instructions
in the data reporting specifications.
For the required reporting of encounters for MIChild eligible clients, the CA
will report these encounters via the 837 as follows:
20008 Subscriber Hierarchical Level
SBR Subscriber Information
SBRO4 Insured Group Name: Use "MIChild" for the group name.
Access Timeliness
Access timeliness requirements are the same as those applicable to
Medicaid substance abuse services, as specified in the agreement
between MDCH and the PIHPs. Access must be expedited when
appropriate based on the presenting characteristics of individuals.
e. Adult Benefit Waiver
Page 21 of 30 FY2007 (09.19.06)
ATTACHMENT A
In consideration for accepting the federal funding pushed to the CA for the
State Medical Program (SMP) eligible under an approved Health
Insurance Flexibility and Accountability (HIFA) Adult Benefit Waiver
(ABW), the CA agrees to redirect existing state general fund dollars to
match the ABW federal FMAP funds (Title XXI State Children's Health
Insurance Program) and carry out the associated substance abuse
program requirements. Program requirements are contained in this
_agreement and in the Department's Medicaid Provider Manual's chapter
on Adult Benefits Waiver I, which is available at the Department's web
site, www.michigan.dov/mdch. The ABW program is contingent on
continued federal approval of the program.
The total ABW funding applied to program expenditures (federal plus
general fund match) shall not exceed $3.80 per enrolled eligible member
per month (PEPM). MDCH shall push the federal portion of the eligible
amount to the CA (PEPM X $3.80 X .6947) based on program enrollment.
The amount of general fund dollars applied by the CA to program costs
shall equal 30.53 percent of the total PEPM during the agreement period
following the date of program initiation. In the event that program costs
are less than the federal and state applicable match requirement amount,
the CA shall retain the balance as local dollars. In the event that program
costs are greater than the federal and state match amount, the CA may
use other State Agreement funds budgeted for treatment in this
Agreement. Use of these funds must be consistent with requirements
pertaining to these other State Agreement funds.
ABW Covered and Discretionary Services
ABW covered and discretionary services, as contained in the Medicaid
Provider Manual, are listed below.
Covered Services:
1. Initial assessment, diagnostic evaluation, referral and patient
placement;
2. Outpatient Treatment;
3. Intensive Outpatient Treatment; and
4. Federal Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved
pharmacological supports for Methadone.
ABW Discretionary Services:
1. Other substance abuse services may be provided, at the discretion
of the CA, to enhance outcomes.
Page 22 of 30 FY2007 (09.19.06)
ATTACHMENT A
The CA is required to pay for medically necessary and requested covered
services, within applicable benefit limitations, for the enrolled population in
excess of the combined federal and applicable match funds. The CA may
apply available SAPT Block Grant funds and state general funds to pay for
ABW covered services when ABW funds (federal and state shares
combined) have been exhausted.
The CA may also choose to pay for non-covered and discretionary
services for ABW beneficiaries with other available funds. Any use of
SAPT Block Grant and state general funds to pay for discretionary or non-
covered services must be consistent with provisions in this agreement that
are applicable to these funds.
ABW beneficiaries who receive ABW covered services shall be treated
according to all applicable requirements of the ABW program, regardless
of source of funds for these services. ABW beneficiaries who receive
ABW discretionary services shall be treated according to applicable ABW
program requirements when the source of funds is ABW funds.
The CA may not charge fees or co-pays to ABW beneficiaries for covered
services or for discretionary services purchased with ABW funds.
ABW funds may not be used to purchase care for persons who are
residents in institutions for mental diseases (IMDs).
Access Timeliness
Access timeliness requirements are the same as those applicable to
Medicaid substance abuse services, as specified in the agreement
between MDCH and the PIHPs. Access must be expedited when
appropriate based on the presenting characteristics of individuals.
Appeals by ABW Enrollees
ABW beneficiaries must be provided written notice of right to appeal
proposed denials, reductions, suspensions or terminations of covered
services through the administrative hearing process, as described in All
Provider Bulletin 03-10.
Encounter Data and Quality Improvement Data
Enrollees who receive substance abuse services must be entered into the
Substance Abuse Statewide Client Data System following the coding
instructions in the data reporting specifications.
Page 23 of 30 FY2007 (09,19.06)
ATTACHMENT A
For the required reporting of encounters for ABW Eligible clients, the CA
will report these encounters via the 837 as follows:
2000B Subscriber Hierarchical Level
SBR Subscriber Information
SBRO4 Insured Group Name: Use "ABW" for Adult Benefits Waiver.
The combined federal share and the GF match share amounts should be
reported separately by using the Primary, Secondary, and Tertiary Payer
guidelines under the 2000B Loop (Subscriber Hierarchical Loop SBRO1
Data Element — Payer Responsibility Sequence Number Code). These
codes were covered at the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability
Act (HIPAA) Readiness Seminars in 2003.
Revenue and Expenditures Reporting
Revenue and expenditures reporting requirements are contained in
Attachment B to this Agreement.
Benefit Limits
This is a limited benefit program. Utilization control procedures consistent
with best practice standards and the three criteria stated below must be
used. The CA may provide or authorize ABW covered and discretionary
services only when these services:
1. Meet the medical necessity criteria contained in this Agreement;
2. Are based on individualized determination of need; and
3. Meet the AMS service requirements contained in this Agreement,
including a level of care determination based on an evaluation of
the six assessment dimensions of the current ASAM Patient
Placement Criteria.
The CA must assure that all persons admitted to treatment have an
individualized treatment plan that emphasizes appropriate treatment and
recovery.
The CA shall not discontinue or interrupt ABW services when ABW
beneficiaries have been admitted to treatment, have exhausted their ABW
benefit, and are financially and clinically eligible for continued treatment
under the Community Grant program.
Initial Assessment, Diagnostic Evaluation. Referral and Patient Placement
The CA will perform a screening and when warranted by the screening
results, the CA will perform an initial assessment and a diagnostic
Page 24 of 30 FY2007 (09.19.06)
ATTACHMENT A
evaluation for ABW beneficiaries who meet medical necessity criteria.
The CA will make referrals and/or patient placements based on individual
need.
The CA may perform or pay for no more than one assessment for a
beneficiary in any six-month period.
Outpatient Treatment
The CA may authorize up to 15 outpatient units in a twelve-month period
based on medical necessity criteria, individualized determination of need,
AMS service requirements, and best practice standards.
The CA may authorize additional units based on these same criteria plus:
1. The beneficiary's commitment to treatment based on participation

Page 25 of 30 FY2007 (09.19.06)
ATTACHMENT A
The CA may purchase Intensive outpatient treatment (10P) only if the
treatment consists of regularly scheduled treatment, usually group
therapy, within a structured program, for at least three days and at least
nine hours per week.
Services for pregnant women, women with dependent children,
women attempting to regain custody and their children
The CA must assure that providers screen and/or assess pregnant
women, women with dependent children, and women attempting to regain
custody of their children to determine whether these women need and
request the defined federal services that are listed below. All federally
mandated services must be made available within each CA region.
Financial Requirements
The CA has been assigned an expenditure target for women's specialty
services, in the CA's allocation letter. State general fund dollars and the
state share of Medicaid dollars, as well as SAPT Block Grant dollars, can
be counted toward the expenditure target. CAs must report on their
RERs, in the Women's Specialty column, all allowable expenditures for
women's specialty services, and only allowable expenditures.
Requirements Regarding Providers
Women's specialty services may only be provided by providers that are
gender-competent and that meet standard panel eligibility requirements.
The provider may be designated by ODCP as women's specialty
providers, but such designation is not required. The CA must continue to
provide choice from a list of providers who offer gender competent
treatment and identify providers that provide the additional services
specified in the federal requirements.
Federal Requirements
Federal requirements are contained in 45 CRF (Part 96) section 96.124,
and may be summarized as:
Treatment programs receiving funding from the Block Grant set aside for
pregnant women and women with dependent children must provide or
arrange for the following:
1. Primary medical care for women, including referral for prenatal care
if pregnant, and while the women are receiving such treatment,
child care;
Page 26 of 30 FY2007 (09.19.06)
ATTACHMENT A
2. Primary pediatric care for their children, including immunizations;
3. Gender specific substance abuse treatment and other therapeutic
interventions for women, which may address issues of
relationships, sexual and physical abuse, parenting, and childcare
while the women are receiving these services;
4. Therapeutic interventions for children in custody of women in
treatment, which may, among other things, address their
developmental needs, issues of sexual and physical abuse, and
neglect; and
5. Sufficient case management and transportation to ensure that
women and their dependent children have access to the above
mentioned services. Women with dependent children are defined
to include women in treatment who are attempting to regain
custody of their children.
The above five types of services, including especially primary medical
care, may be provided through the MDCH/CA agreement only when no
other source of support is available and when no other source is
financially responsible.

3. Prevention Services
a. Prevention Requirements
Prevention funds may be used for needs assessment and related
activities. All prevention services must be based on a formal local needs
assessment.
The Department's intent is to move toward a community-based,
consequence-driven model of prevention. In the meantime, based on
needs assessment, prevention activities must be targeted to high-risk
groups and must be directed to those at greatest risk of substance abuse
and/or most in need of services within these high-risk groups. CAs are not
required to implement prevention programming for all high-risk groups.
The CA may also provide targeted prevention services to the general
population.
The high risk subgroups include but are not limited to: children of
substance abusers; pregnant women/teens; drop-outs; violent and
delinquent youth; persons with mental health problems; economically
disadvantaged citizens; persons who are disabled; victims of abuse;
persons already using substances; and homeless and/or runaway youth.
Additionally, children exposed prenatally to ATOD are identified as a high-
risk subgroup.
Prevention services must be provided through strategies identified by
GSM'. These strategies are: information dissemination; education;
alternatives; problem identification and referral; community based
processes; and environmental change.
Prevention-related funding limitations the CA must adhere to are: 1) A
maximum of 35% of prevention funding may be used for school based
activities as part of the usual school day, 2) CA expenditure requirements
for prevention, including Synar, as stipulated in the CA's allocation letter,
3) 90% of prevention expenditures are expected to be directed to
programs which are implemented as a result of an evidence-based
decision making process, 4) Alternative strategy activities, if provided must
reflect evidence-based approaches and best practices such as multi-
generational and adult to youth mentoring, and 5) state-administered
funds used for information dissemination must be part of a multi-faceted
Page 29 of 30 FY2007 (09.19.06)
f•N
ATTACHMENT A
regional prevention strategy, rather than independent, stand-alone activity.
The CA must monitor and evaluate prevention programs at least annually
to determine if the program outcomes, milestones and other indicators are
achieved, as well as compliance with state and federal requirements.
Indicators may include integrity to prevention best practice models
including those related to planning prevention interventions such as
risk/protective factor assessment, community assets/resource
assessment, levels of community support, evaluation, etc. A written
monitoring procedure, which includes requirements for corrective action
plans to address issues of concern with a provider, is required.
b. Youth Access To Tobacco Activity and Synar Requirements
Requirements are located in Attachment E to this agreement. See
Attachment C for reporting requirements.
SAPT Block Grant Funds cannot be used for law enforcement inspections.
ODCP assumes responsibility for monitoring compliance with this
condition.
c. Methamphetamine Prevention Project
This provision is applicable only to those CAs that receive an earmarked
allocation for Methamphetamine Prevention Project funds.
The CA must establish a regional planning infrastructure that includes
stakeholder agencies involved in preventing methamphetamine use. The
CA may also use the allocated funds for methamphetamine-specific
prevention programming as identified through the local planning process
with stakeholder agencies. Stakeholder agencies include regional and
local entities that provide prevention, treatment and support services to
consumers affected by methamphetamine use and agencies charged with
enforcing laws pertaining to distribution, possession and production of
methamphetamine.
The CA must allocate no less than 95 percent of the funding for
infrastructure development activity and methamphetamine-specific
prevention programming. CAs must not exceed a cap of 5 percent for
administrative costs associated with this grant activity.
The CA must enter its Methamphetamine Prevention Project revenues
and expenditures separately on the Revenue and Expenditures Report
form. Reporting requirements are as stated in Attachment C to this
Agreement.

IN RE: DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES / HEALTH DIVISION - 2006/2007
SUBSTANCE ABUSE GRANT ACCEPTANCE
TO THE OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
Pursuant to Rule XII-C of this Board, the Finance Committee has reviewed the
above-referenced resolution and finds:
1. The Department of Health and Human Services / Health Division has been
awarded by the Michigan Department of Community Health (MDCH)
$4,664,245 in Substance Abuse Grant Funds for the period of October 1,
2006 through September 30, 2007.
2. Funds will be used to subcontract with agencies to prevent and reduce
the incidence of drug and alcohol abuse and dependency.
3. The original FY 2005/2006 grant award was for $4,640,745, with an
additional award from the State during the year in the amount of
$284,444, for a total award of $4,925,189.
4. The FY 2006/2007 grant award of $4,664,245 is a decrease of ($260,944)
(5.3%) from the prior year's amended grant amount of $4,925,189,
5. The Substance Abuse Fund budget for FY 2007 reflects a total of
$4,640,745, which is $23,500 less than the grant award.
6. No County grant match or in-kind contribution is required.
7. A budget amendment to the FY 2007 Adopted Substance Abuse Fund budget
is recommended as follows:
