EXHIBIT 1

STATEMENT OF WORK – HOOSIER HEALTHWISE

TABLE OF CONTENTS

I. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

This Statement of Work is part of a Contract to provide statewide, risk-based managed care services to Medicaid beneficiaries enrolled in the State of Indiana’s Hoosier Healthwise (Hoosier Healthwise) program. The State is looking to contract on a statewide basis with proven managed care organizations (MCOs) with a demonstrated capacity to actively manage care for this low-income population.

Because Hoosier Healthwise is financed in part by federal Medicaid funds, the Contractor must meet all applicable requirements of Medicaid managed care organizations pursuant to Section 1903(m) and 1932 of the Social Security Act, as well as the implementing regulations set forth in 42 CFR 438, which defines requirements for Medicaid managed care programs. The Contractor must also ensure that its network providers, including out-of-state providers, enroll in the Indiana Health Coverage Programs (IHCP) before they begin providing health care services to members. Further information about IHCP provider enrollment is located at:

https://www.in.gov/medicaid/providers/provider-enrollment/ihcp-provider-enrollment-transactions/

Unless otherwise indicated, the requirements set forth in this Statement of Work apply to the Contractor’s responsibilities under the Hoosier Healthwise program. Definitions for terms cited throughout the Statement of Work are listed in Exhibit 5 Definitions unless otherwise specified.

II. BACKGROUND AND CURRENT STATE

Background

The Indiana Family and Social Services Administration (FSSA) Office of Medicaid Policy and Planning (OMPP) maintains the five (5) Medicaid programs described below. For purposes of this Statement of Work, the term “FSSA” shall refer to the agency and its divisions, including, but not limited to OMPP.

As the State continues to evaluate and design Medicaid benefits, the State reserves the right to add additional populations not currently outlined in this Contract into its managed care programs.

Hoosier Healthwise

Hoosier Healthwise is a Medicaid program that helps approximately five hundred and eighty-nine thousand (589,000) Hoosiers. The program’s aim is to provide comprehensive health care coverage for children up to age nineteen (19) and pregnant individuals.

The Contractor must perform the administrative functions of a typical insurer, as well as address the unique challenges of low-income children and families, including managing and integrating care along the continuum of health care services.

Healthy Indiana Plan

FSSA has maintained the Healthy Indiana Plan program since 2008. Healthy Indiana Plan is one of the Medicaid programs that helps over four hundred and eighty-seven thousand (487,000) Hoosiers. Healthy Indiana Plan aims to provide comprehensive health care coverage for low-income adults aged nineteen to sixty-four (19 to 64) that may not be otherwise eligible for Medicare or Medicaid and most pregnant women covered by Medicaid.

The State of Indiana intends to implement modifications to the Healthy Indiana Plan (HIP) program whereby all non‑expansion adult members, including pregnant women, will be transitioned to the Hoosier Healthwise Medicaid Managed Care program. Following these changes, the Healthy Indiana Plan will be designated exclusively for Medicaid expansion adults. The State will undertake all necessary steps to effectuate this transition in accordance with Federal and State requirements. The Healthy Indiana Plan and Hoosier Healthwise Statement of Work documents will be updated to reflect these changes prior to implementation of the program change.

The Healthy Indiana Plan program seeks not only to provide health coverage to an uninsured population, but to improve health, promote prevention and encourage healthy lifestyles.

Hoosier Care Connect

FSSA has maintained the Hoosier Care Connect program since 2015, and it currently serves approximately eighty thousand (80,000) Hoosiers. Hoosier Care Connect is a coordinated care program for Indiana’s Medicaid members under the age of sixty (60) meeting the following criteria:

· Blind individual,

· Individual with a disability,

· Wards, foster children, former foster children and children receiving adoption assistance,

· Are not eligible for Medicare, or

· Are not on a 1915(c) Medicaid waiver.

Through the Hoosier Care Connect program, FSSA seeks to improve the quality of care and health outcomes for the identified population. This includes improved clinical and functional status, enhanced quality of life, improved member safety, and enhanced member autonomy and adherence to treatment plans.

PathWays for Aging

FSSA has managed the PathWays program since inception in 2024. PathWays serves approximately one hundred and fifteen thousand (115,000[footnoteRef:2]) Hoosiers. Indiana’s PathWays program is a statewide coordinated care program for Indiana’s Medicaid members who are sixty (60) years of age and older and are eligible for Medicaid on the basis of age, blindness, or disability and have limited income and resources. All individuals who are sixty (60) years of age or older in the target eligibility categories will be included unless they meet an exclusion, as specified in Exhibit 3 Program Description and Covered Benefits. Members include members who have a full Medicare benefit and those who are receiving long-term services and supports (LTSS) in a home or community-based setting. LTSS includes Home and Community Based Services (HCBS) which are intended to support individuals who have functional limitations and/or chronic illnesses that have the primary purpose of supporting the ability of the member to live or work in the setting of their choice. HCBS services include, but are not limited to, in-home personal care, adult day centers, assisted living, and caregiver support. [2: The enrollment figures provided in this Statement of Work are current figures only. Enrollment in the programs may increase or decrease in the future based upon federal policies, program priorities, available funding, etc.]

In developing PathWays, FSSA seeks to achieve the following:

· Ensure more Hoosiers can choose to age at home and simplify access to HCBS

· Appropriately divert individuals from long-term nursing facility stays in accordance with a person-centered approach through high-quality care coordination, coordinated care across the delivery system and care continuum, including across Medicaid and Medicare for dually eligible members, and taking into account physical health, behavioral health, and social services

Fee-for-Service

Fee-for-Service (FFS) Medicaid provides full health coverage to individuals eligible for Medicaid and are an excluded population from managed care enrollment, such as individuals receiving intellectual and developmental disability services through the Division of Disability, Aging, and Rehabilitation Services (DDARS); American Indian and Alaskan Natives; individuals under the age of sixty (60) who are Medicaid and Medicare (dual) eligible; and individuals residing in institutional settings. FFS Medicaid serves approximately two hundred and forty thousand (240,000) Medicaid eligible individuals. FFS Medicaid benefits include all services that are covered under Package A-Standard Plan.

III. SCOPE OF WORK

a. OBJECTIVES OF ENGAGEMENT

MCO Investment in Quality

Across all Indiana coordinated programs, FSSA has the triple aim of:

· Make Indiana Healthy Again

· Partner with plans dedicated to the State of Indiana

· Ensure fiscal integrity and responsibility of Medicaid programs

The Contractor must ensure compliance to all program requirements and guidance issued by the State including, but not limited to, each program’s Policies and Procedures Manual as updated and amended periodically.

The State expects Contractors to align their resources toward achieving improvement in the goal areas. Examples include:

· Member and provider outreach and education efforts supporting the goals

· Enhanced Benefits offered by the Contractor should be intentionally selected to support quality goals

· Member and provider incentives and Value-Based Purchasing arrangements designed to support the goals

Administrative Requirements

The Contractor must comply with all applicable Federal and State laws, regulations and executive orders.

State Licensure

Prior to the Contract effective date, and as verified in the readiness review, the Contractor must be an Indiana-licensed health maintenance organization (HMO).

The Contractor and all subcontractors must use clinicians licensed by Indiana and follow all requirements contained within the Contract (e.g., Prior Authorization/Utilization Management (PA/UM) criteria; claims processing; encounter data submission; etc.), regardless of geographic location. As required by IC 12-15, subcontractors must verify that providers hold a current unrestricted Indiana license even if the Contractor is based in another state.

National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) Accreditation

As required by IC 12-15-12-21, the Contractor must be accredited by the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) on or before the Contract start date. In the event the Contractor is not accredited on or before the Contract start date, the Contractor must begin the accreditation process and obtain accreditation at the earliest time that the NCQA allows. When accreditation standards conflict with the standards set forth in the Contract or State law, the Contract or state law prevails unless the accreditation standard is more stringent.

If the Contractor is accredited as of the start date of the agreement, the Contractor must maintain accreditation throughout the term of this agreement. If not already NCQA accredited as of the start date of this agreement, the Contractor must obtain their health plan accreditation no later than the end of the second full calendar year of operation and must maintain accreditation for the term of this agreement.

The Contractor must submit to FSSA the final Accreditation Report for each accreditation cycle within ten (10) business days of receipt of the report. The Contractor must submit to FSSA updates of accreditation status, based on annual HEDIS scores, within ten (10) days of receipt.

The Contractor must establish and maintain a business office or work site within five (5) miles of the Indiana Government Center, Indianapolis, Indiana where it is expected that, at minimum, the executive leadership team, and preferably all key staff will perform the majority of their duties, as well as ensuring a significant portion of the Contractor’s operations are based there. The Contractor must ensure the location of operational functions outside of Indiana does not compromise the delivery of integrated services and a seamless experience for members and providers. All staff working on the State of Indiana’s business must be available to the State at the Indiana Government Center or at the Contractor’s Indianapolis, Indiana business office at the discretion of the State.

The Contractor must provide sufficient on-site meeting space that is private and allows the state to perform on-site reviews, audits, or other oversight activities.

Staffing

The Contractor must have in place qualified administrative and clinical staff as well as sufficient organizational components to comply with all program requirements and standards. The Contractor must maintain a high level of Contract performance and data reporting capabilities regardless of staff vacancies or turnover.

Staff designated for this specific Medicaid program must have experience with youth mental and behavioral health and addiction services and must have experience with maternal child services.

All key staff must reside in Indiana, and all other staff must perform the majority of their work within Indiana unless explicitly exempted by the Contract. It is expected that key staff must carry out the majority of their daily responsibilities from the Indianapolis location. The Contractor must provide documentation upon request to verify compliance with these requirements.

The Contractor must ensure the location of any staff functions outside of Indiana does not compromise the delivery of integrated services and a seamless experience for members and providers.

The Contractor must deliver the final staffing plan within thirty (30) calendar days after notice of award. If the Contractor conducts an internal re-organization, the Contractor must provide a revised staffing plan within ten (10) business days of the re-organization.

Per 42 CFR 455.104(b)(4), the Contractor must submit the name, address, date of birth, and SSN of any managing employee of the Contractor. A managing employee is defined as a general manager, business manager, administrator, director, or other individual who exercises operational or managerial control over, or who directly or indirectly conducts the day-to-day operation of an institution, organization, or agency. The plan president/CEO is the final decision maker on day-to-day operations of an organization. The Contractor must submit the federally required personal information of their President/CEO upon the State’s request.

The Contractor must submit to FSSA for approval all initial and replacement key staff prior to their assignment to Hoosier Healthwise. With reasonable notice and a statement of the reasons for the request, FSSA shall have the right to require that the Contractor remove any individual (whether or not key staff) from assignment to the program. If the Contractor desires to change the individual in a key staff position at any point in the Contract, the Contractor must submit the request and the resume(s) of the candidate(s) to FSSA for approval prior to making the change.

Except in the circumstance of the unforeseeable loss of a key staff member’s services, the Contractor must provide written notification to FSSA of anticipated vacancies of key staff within five (5) business days of receiving the key staff person’s notice to terminate employment or five (5) business days before the vacancy occurs, whichever occurs first. At that time, the Contractor must present FSSA with an interim plan to cover the responsibilities created by the key staff vacancy. Likewise, the Contractor must notify FSSA in writing within five (5) business days after a candidate’s acceptance to fill a key staff position or five (5) business days prior to the candidate’s start date, whichever occurs first. A candidate cannot officially start their role until FSSA has approved them as a replacement.

In addition to attendance at vendor meetings, all key staff must be accessible to FSSA and its other program subcontractors via telephone, voicemail and electronic mail systems. As part of its annual and quarterly reporting, the Contractor must submit to FSSA an updated organizational chart including e-mail addresses and phone numbers for key staff. An updated organizational chart must be provided within ten (10) business days of a key staff member being replaced.

During readiness review, the Contractor must submit a comprehensive staffing plan. Prior to the launch of this contract, and if needed on an ad hoc basis, the Contractor will be required to submit a final staffing plan or changes to their staffing plan to the state for review.
