(STATEMENT OF WORK)

Medicaid Application Assistance Services

1. BACKGROUND: The VA Maine Healthcare System (VHAMEHCS) is an integrated healthcare system comprised of one medical center: Togus Medical Center located in August, ME, and many community outpatient clinics (CBOC) located around the State of Maine.

VHAMEHCS is the tertiary care facility for VISN 1 and provides services for Veterans in Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Connecticut. The main health care service offerings are outpatient, inpatient, extended care, and telehealth care. Ensuring veterans access to care is a priority. For veterans that are admitted to the acute setting, we work to achieve this by ensuring veterans have access to the right care at the right time in the right setting. By improving our access to Medicaid services at the time of admission to the acute setting, we ensure that veterans will have a payer source to assist with discharge planning when they are medically ready to leave the hospital. This will help us provide an appropriate length of stay to veterans and timely transition to the next level of care.

2. MEDICAID APPLICATION ASSISTANCE SERVICES: The contractor shall provide assistance with the completion of Medicaid applications. Medicaid has various names, based on the state administering the program. For purposes of this agreement, the contractor will be able to navigate the Medicaid application process to completion for states served within the VISN as noted above. The contractor shall provide personal assistance and resources to VHAMEHCS staff, patients, and caregivers, who have been identified as needing to complete this application to access additional community-based resources that Medicaid can provide. Individuals are identified through a screening process completed by VHAMEHCS staff. The contractor will make a dedicated effort to continue to follow-up on pending Medicaid applications, which will help to ensure applications are processed in a time efficient manner. The contractor will be proactive with contacting the Medicaid office to receive timely updates on the status of applications. The contractor will continue to follow-up with VHAMEHCS staff, patients, caregivers, and the Medicaid office until a decision is made by Medicaid regarding eligibility. This may also include appealing Medicaid decisions. Completing these applications will permit successful transitions from acute and subacute care for the many patients in need of long-term care. It will also enable a reduced length of stay and decreased healthcare costs.

Medicaid refers to assistance provided by the government to individuals, including eligible low-income adults, elders, and people with disabilities, who meet financial and clinical criteria. This assistance enables recipients to access a spectrum of services including community-based and long-term care. Medicaid is administered by states, according to federal requirements. The program is funded jointly By states and the federal government.
