SHMTL 22 (State Hearings: Coordinated Services Program)
State Hearings Manual Transmittal Letter No. 22
January 26, 2012
TO: All State Hearings Manual Holders
FROM: Michael B. Colbert, Director
SUBJECT: State Hearings: Coordinated Services Program

Amended Substitute House Bill 93 of the 129th General Assembly requires state agencies to establish and modify laws regarding the prevention of prescription drug abuse. ODJFS is required to adopt rules implementing a Coordinated Services Program (CSP) for Medicaid consumers who have received prescription drugs at a frequency or in an amount that is not medically necessary. The Medicaid rules implemented the CSP earlier than the statute requires, and also permit ODJFS to assign Medicaid consumers to a single primary provider of physician services. The Bureau of State Hearings establishes Medicaid consumer hearing rights and ODJFS notice requirements as it relates to the CSP.

The effective date of the rules is January 1, 2012.

SHM 1000.

5101:6-2-37 "Notices of enrollment, continued enrollment, or provider change denial for the managed care plan controlled substances and member management program", is rescinded and part of this rule is incorporated into new rule 5101:6-2-40, "State Hearings: Coordinated services program state hearing and notice requirements."

5101:6-2-40 "State Hearings: Coordinated services program state hearing and notice requirements", is rescinded and made new to introduce the hearing process for Medicaid's CSP. This rule includes hearing and notices rights associated with proposed enrollment into the CSP, continued enrollment into the CSP, and denial of a designated provider change. This rule also replaces part of rule 5101:6-2-37 of the Administrative Code.

Changes are limited to strikeouts and name changes for Medicaid's CSP.

5101:6-7-03 "Implementation of the hearing decision," is amended and describes how a state hearing decision as it relates to public assistance or medical assistance benefit occurs during the state hearing process.
