A MESSAGE FROM DR. GEORGE E. MATTHEWS, CMO
APRIL IS NATIONAL MINORITY HEALTH MONTH

Over 100 years ago Booker T. Washington identified a connection between poverty and poor health. It was suggested that the improvement in an African American’s way of life was not just a consequence of education but also access to better health. Now 100 years following that observation, we are confronted with concrete evidence of the factors that impact the health of minority populations.

One example of a health inequity is that of infant health and mortality identified in black and white babies born in the United States. Black mothers are more likely to have babies with low birth weight. They are also more likely to experience loss of a baby.

BRAIN INJURY AWARENESS MONTH

In the United States alone, 5.3 million individuals are living with permanent brain injury related disability. 2.8 million Americans experience traumatic brain injuries in the United States every year.

An understanding of brain injury begins with defining the terminology. Acquired brain injury describes those injuries to the brain that are not congenital, hereditary, or induced by birth trauma. Acquired brain injury is further sub-classified into 2 types. Traumatic brain injury, reported to be the alteration in brain function as a result of an external force. Examples of an external force include falls, motor vehicle accidents, sports injuries/concussion, assaults. Nontraumatic brain injury include damage to the brain as a consequence of an internal factor (lack of oxygen, pressure from a tumor,

exposure to toxins). Examples of nontraumatic brain injury include stroke, tumor, infectious disease/meningitis, lack of oxygen to the brain from near drowning or heart attack.

CPR SAVES LIVES

On January 2, 2023, during a Monday Night Football game after making what appeared to be a routine tackle, Damar Hamlin attempted to stand up and then collapsed. He had suffered a cardiac arrest. Like millions of Americans, I was stunned to see that this football player’s condition required CPR and defibrillation. Mr. Hamlin survived this event because he promptly received that appropriate initial care, CPR followed by restoration of rhythm by defibrillation. Mr. Hamlin’s chance of survival from this catastrophic event was significantly enhanced because he was in otherwise excellent physical health with no evidence of a pre-existing cardiovascular illness.

New Year’s Resolution: Good Health to All

As we bid adieu to 2022 and look forward to 2023, let us reflect upon the successes and accomplishments of the past year and the challenges and opportunities that the new year affords us. It is no surprise that we have weathered yet another COVID-19 experience as well as the influenza season and a particularly concerning RSV (respiratory syncytial virus) season. Our ability to deal with the threats posed by these illnesses have allowed us to look confidently toward the future with the appreciation of what we have learned from experience and what we are better prepared for to come.

December 2022 Provider Newsletter

A MESSAGE FROM DR. GEORGE E. MATTHEWS, CMO
THE GIFT OF SELF-CARE
Friedrich Nietzsche is often quoted as stating “That which does not kill us makes us stronger”. Certainly, surviving an existential threat such as the COVID-19 pandemic is to be acknowledged and celebrated. Yet this survival may come at a cost. That cost being burnout and the resultant depression, posttraumatic stress disorder and other mental health challenges.
As this year draws to a close, we can look back and appreciate that despite multiple challenges, providers and health care workers remain standing (unbowed, unbent, and unbroken). As providers however we must take a moment to reflect that the well-being of ourselves and our colleagues is rooted in part in addressing the underlying factors which might contribute to burnout.

A MESSAGE FROM DR. GEORGE E. MATTHEWS, CMO
THE GREAT AMERICAN SMOKEOUT
NOVEMBER 17, 2022

The American Cancer Society has designated November 17, 2022, as the Great American Smoke Out, which serves as an opportunity for people who smoke to make a plan to quit or commit to a healthy smoke-free life. Additionally, November 2022 has been designated lung cancer awareness month as well as COPD awareness month, as the 2 illnesses are intricately associated with smoking/tobacco use. The United States is home to 34 million adults who smoke. Smoking results in approximately 480,000 deaths per year or about 1 in 5 deaths.

October 2022 Provider Newsletter

A MESSAGE FROM DR. GEORGE E. MATTHEWS, CMO
OCTOBER IS NATIONAL BREAST CANCER AWARENESS MONTH
OCTOBER 4-8, NATIONAL PRIMARY CARE WEEK

As we transition into the fall and in particular the month of October, we can appreciate the beauty of the season. October also offers another important aspect, that of being designated National Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

Breast cancer is the second most common cancer among women in the United States (some kinds of skin cancer are the most common). Each year in the United States, approximately 264,000 women and 2400 men are diagnosed with breast cancer. Even more concerning, 16% of women and 20% of men who are diagnosed with breast cancer will die from the disease and African American women die from breast cancer at a higher rate than Caucasian women.

A MESSAGE FROM DR. GEORGE MATTHEWS, CMO
AUGUST IS NATIONAL IMMUNIZATION MONTH
“An Ounce of Prevention is Worth a Pound of Cure” Benjamin Franklin
Having experienced the COVID pandemic and acknowledging the impact of the COVID vaccines in preventing or mitigating the severity of illness, we may all appreciate the utility of vaccinations as a critical tool in maintaining good health. Vaccinations have traditionally been considered predominantly for birth to age 18. The conditions that we administer vaccinations for have previously been considered a scourge among the young resulting in death or significant impairment. Illnesses such as polio, diphtheria, tetanus, and whooping cough no longer provide concern in parents in whose babies have been vaccinated. Toddlers are now able to receive vaccinations for measles mumps, rubella, hepatitis, chickenpox (varicella) and flu. Again, it must be realized that these conditions provide for significant morbidity and mortality in the unvaccinated.

July 2022 Provider Newsletter

A MESSAGE FROM DR. GEORGE MATTHEWS, CMO
JULY IS NATIONAL MINORITY MENTAL HEALTH AWARENESS MONTH

Having endured the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and more recently the hate filled racist attack in Buffalo New York it is not surprising that racial and ethnic minority communities face unique psychological challenges. Unfortunately, the opportunity to receive appropriate support for the mental health challenges is thwarted due to cultural stigma and the lack of access to mental health care services. Let us put the problem in perspective.

The Office of Minority Health from the US Department of Health and Human Services describes the following statistical assessment “In 2019 suicide was the second leading cause of death 4 blacks or African-Americans ages 15-24. Poverty level affects mental health status. African-Americans living below the poverty level as compared to those over twice the poverty level are twice as likely to report serious psychological distress”.

June 2022 Provider Newsletter

DR. MATTHEWS, MONROE PLAN’S CMO, INSIGHTS ON MEN’S HEALTH MONTH

As we think about our male patients, as well as those men that are most important to us (whether that is ourselves, our partner, father, son, or brother), we must reflect on how we can assist these individuals in maintaining a healthy lifestyle. According to the Centers of Disease Control, in the United States, men die an average of 5 years earlier than women. Men of color may experience even shorter lifespans. That being said, the leading causes of death in men aged 18 older are Heart Disease, Cancer, COVID-19, Accidents, and Stroke.

Provider Bulletins

If providers would like their patients to continue PCA/CDPAS services, updated MD orders must be faxed to Molina UM (866-879-4742) at least 30 days prior to authorization ending.  The form (DOH 4359) must be completed in FULL.  A missing CIN or DOB nullifies the form;  incomplete forms are considered unacceptable as per NYS DOH Regs.  Noncompliant orders will lead to your patient losing their aide services and it can take about 4-6 weeks for services to restart. Please review the forms for completeness before faxing to Molina.

 

Did you know that every Molina member receiving these services has an assigned RN Case Manager who speaks to the member every month? Please contact the Monroe Plan triage line at 844-337-7144 to get connected to the assigned Case Manager. S/he can assist you by providing support in submitting the 4359, answering questions regarding the LTSS process or address any concerns about your patient receiving these services.

SUBJECT: Professional Office Lab Billing and Reimbursement Update When Using Modifiers

This notice is to provide guidance and clarification when billing lab codes using a CPT code and related modifiers for laboratory services provided in a professional office setting. This change will be effective January 1, 2023 and is applicable to any lab services rendered to Molina Healthcare Medicaid Managed Care, HARP, Essential Plan, and Child Health Plus members.

The intent of this change is to mirror NYS Medicaid billing guidelines and provide clarification as to payment rates when modifiers are used by your office for lab services.

Modifier 26 / Professional Component: Lab procedures are a combination of a physician component and a technical component. When the professional component, only, is performed and reported separately, the service may be identified by adding the modifier “26” to the procedure number. Reimbursement will then equate to 40% of the maximum global Community Lab Fee Schedule amount.

Modifier TC / Technical Component: When the technical component, only, is performed and reported separately, the service may be identified by adding the modifier “TC” to the procedure number. Reimbursement will then equate to 60% of the maximum global Community Lab Fee Schedule amount.
If no modifier is included with the laboratory code billed, then the full global fee as reflected in the community-based fee schedule will be reimbursed.

The Monroe Plan and YourCare IPA community-based laboratory fee schedule effective January 1, 2023, which is equivalent to 100% of the prevailing New York State Medicaid Lab fee schedule, will be posted to the Monroe Plan website (www.monroeplan.com) under the IPA and Provider Services tab.
