Overview of Mental Health Budget and Policy Initiatives 2004-2006
In this overview, David Knutson of the Washington State House of Representatives looks at mental health
budget and policy initiatives for the period 2004-06.
Government Affairs Update - Bob Hall
The AAFP Government Affairs Update summarizes the AAFP's advocacy priorities and activities. It provides an overview of the AAFP staff who work on government relations and the key issues they address, including chronic care legislation, telehealth, teaching health centers, direct primary care, mental health reform, and regulatory advocacy. It also outlines the AAFP's priorities for the 2017 legislative agenda and upcoming advocacy events.

Virginia AFP's lobbyist Hunter Jamerson's presentation from the 2013 SLC on the unique Medicaid reform approach being followed in the state of Virginia.
Virginia Health Reform Initiative
The document summarizes discussions from the Virginia Health Reform Initiative Technology Task Force. It discusses the task force's charge to explore how technology can improve healthcare access and lower costs. Key areas discussed include expanding telemedicine, developing an all-payer claims database, and using health information technology like electronic health records. The task force also addressed ongoing state efforts to boost healthcare workforce capacity and reform Medicaid programs and eligibility in light of federal health reforms.
Medicaid Managed Care
An increasing number of states are expanding managed care. This webinar provides a straightforward overview and history of the Medicaid Managed Care program and how it applies to physicians, practices, and patients.
Telehealth Funding
This document summarizes funding for telehealth from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. It outlines the history of funding for the Office for the Advancement of Telehealth (OAT), including an increase in funding from $6.8 million in 2006 and 2007 to $11.6 million in 2010. It also lists current telehealth grant programs and resources, as well as federal collaborations on telehealth issues.

This document discusses medical-legal partnerships (MLPs), which integrate legal assistance into patient care to address social determinants of health. It provides examples of how MLPs have helped patients experiencing issues like difficulties accessing public benefits, housing problems, and education barriers. The Health, Education and Legal Assistance Project MLP improved patients' health, reduced stress, and resolved issues like gaining disability benefits or public housing for over 100 individuals. MLPs help healthcare providers identify legal needs and improve health outcomes, but challenges include sustainability, evaluation, and gaining long-term health data.
Behavioral Health Industry Insights - 2016
Over the last 50 years, the number of inpatient psychiatric facilities in the US, mostly state-run hospitals, has sharply declined due to deinstitutionalization and Medicaid policies like the IMD Exclusion. Deinstitutionalization reduced state-run psychiatric beds by over 90% from 1955 to 2012. The IMD Exclusion further curtailed Medicaid reimbursement for large facilities, shifting treatment to community-based outpatient care. However, this has left many areas without adequate inpatient beds. Recent policy changes now allow Medicaid reimbursement for some short-term inpatient mental health and addiction services for adults aged 21-64 which could help address gaps.

Healthcare reform
The document discusses the similarities and differences between the Massachusetts health reform law known as "Romneycare" and the federal Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act known as "Obamacare". Both laws require individuals to have health insurance, create state-based health insurance exchanges, and provide subsidies for lower-income households. However, the ACA covers more people nationwide and optionally expands Medicaid eligibility, while Romneycare only expanded coverage for certain groups in Massachusetts. The document also outlines some perceived pros and cons of the ACA.

Dual eligible beneficiaries comprise 20% of the Medicare population and 15% of the Medicaid population. They receive coverage from both Medicare and Medicaid, with Medicare as the primary payer. Dual eligibles account for a disproportionate share of spending in both programs despite making up a relatively small portion of enrollees. They tend to be poorer, sicker, and have higher rates of chronic conditions than other Medicare or Medicaid beneficiaries.
FMCC 2016 Health Is Primary by Robert Phillips
This document summarizes the goals and strategies of an organization called Family Medicine for America's Health (FMAHealth). FMAHealth aims to strengthen primary care in America through seven core strategies, including ensuring everyone has a primary care provider, achieving the triple aim of better health, better care and lower costs, and moving payment models away from fee-for-service. To achieve these goals, FMAHealth has established six tactic teams focused on areas like practice redesign, workforce, technology, payment models, research and engagement.
Florida Medicaid Reform Facts Flaws
The document summarizes Florida's proposed Medicaid reform plan, which includes shifting Medicaid recipients into private managed care plans through an 1115 waiver approved by the federal government. Key points of concern discussed are that the waiver lacks important operational and budget details, there are questions around how savings will be achieved, and shifting people to managed care does not necessarily reduce costs. Concerns are raised that the proposed reforms could reduce services and shift costs to other groups. The document calls for slowing down approval of the waiver until more details are available to properly evaluate the impact of the proposed changes.

The document discusses Oregon's efforts to integrate health services for people with mental illness or substance use disorders. It outlines Oregon's current complicated system and the need for reform. Two demonstration sites were selected in Central Oregon and Northeast Oregon to test integrated models of care. The demonstrations aim to improve population health, increase access to services, and reduce costs through more coordinated, outcome-based approaches.
Rh cs and fqhcs for chronic care management
Chronic diseases such as cancer, stroke, cardiovascular disease, arthritis and diabetes are the leading causes of death and disability in the United States and throughout the world. Statistics show that more than 40% of U.S adults suffer from chronic diseases making the diseases responsible for about 23% of all hospitalizations in the U.S. Statistics show that cancer and heart disease account for more than 50% of all deaths among elderly people.
System Transformation Initiative
Topics covered in this 10-26-2007 presentation to the TWG include background and brief updates of System
Transformation Initiative projects; a benefits package update, and a housing action plan update.
Health Reform: A Rural Policy Prospective
The document summarizes rural health policy issues and reform efforts. It discusses the National Rural Health Association's mission and priorities for health reform, including addressing workforce shortages, ensuring equitable reimbursement for rural providers, investing in rural health infrastructure, and correcting health disparities. It also provides an overview of various legislative proposals and amendments focused on improving access to care in rural America.
Telehealth Policy Issues
This document discusses current policy issues related to the Virginia Telehealth Network. It summarizes major federal issues around coordination of telehealth programs across agencies and reforming healthcare delivery through telehealth. It also outlines barriers in Medicare reimbursement for telehealth and priority issues for 2011, including advancing health technology, payment innovation, care coordination, and addressing Medicare barriers. Other federal actions on spending, medical device regulation, and meaningful use of electronic health records are also covered. Major state issues discussed include a report on telehealth in California and Medicaid telehealth programs. The document concludes with upcoming actions by the American Telehealth Association to address these policy issues.
Healthcare Reform Presentation
The document provides an overview of health care reform under the Affordable Care Act and how it impacts people living with HIV/AIDS in California. Key points include:
- The status quo has led to an access to care crisis for people with HIV as few have employer insurance. Health care reform aims to expand coverage and protections.
- Reforms include an individual mandate, Medicaid expansion, subsidies through insurance marketplaces, and protections like prohibiting denial of coverage for pre-existing conditions.
- In California, the Medi-Cal program will expand up to 138% of the federal poverty level and higher incomes can purchase plans through Covered California with subsidies.
- Transitions lie ahead for those currently

Presentation by Elizabeth Lukanen at the University of Minnesota Academic Health Center's Student Leadership Summit in Minneapolis, MN, December 5, 2009.
Lecture 1 - Introduction to Canadian Health Care
Tommy Douglas was the Premier of Saskatchewan who introduced North America's first public health insurance plan in 1962, covering all residents for hospital services free of charge. This helped establish the principle of universal public health care that eventually spread across Canada.
Health Care Reform: Primary Care and Behavioral Health Integration
This document summarizes key aspects of health care reform related to integrating primary care and behavioral health. The Affordable Care Act aims to increase insurance coverage and focus on coordination of care and chronic disease prevention. Grants are available to help community behavioral health agencies improve physical health screening and referrals for those with serious mental illnesses. The goals are to improve health outcomes by better coordinating primary and behavioral care.
ACA Implications in Mental Health
The Affordable Care Act will significantly expand access to healthcare coverage and improve health outcomes over the next few years, especially for those with behavioral health needs. Key provisions include expanding Medicaid eligibility and establishing health insurance exchanges. This will reduce the number of uninsured Americans, including many who are currently unable to access behavioral healthcare. The changes brought about by the ACA will disproportionately benefit rural communities, where access to insurance and services is more limited. Full implementation will occur in phases over several years to allow for development of new infrastructure and systems.
Telehealth - Latoya Thomas
The document discusses telehealth and provides information on:
- The American Telemedicine Association's role in promoting telehealth.
- How telehealth can help address issues like access to care and costs.
- Examples of telehealth uses like in homes, healthcare facilities, and schools.
- The current state of Medicaid and Medicare telehealth coverage and gaps.
- Efforts to expand telehealth coverage through federal and state legislation.
- Models for interstate telehealth licensure and the states involved in each.

AHS-6 Federalism/Medicaid
Medicaid is a government health insurance program for low-income families and individuals established in 1965 under President Lyndon B. Johnson as part of the Social Security Amendments. It is administered by individual states according to federal guidelines and provides coverage for various medical services and benefits. While states pay 50% of costs, there is ongoing controversy around eligibility requirements and costs as states aim to reduce spending through managed care programs while maintaining federal funding.

It also summarizes implications for physician practices as small businesses, such as opportunities to purchase insurance through the SHOP Exchange and potential eligibility for small business tax credits to help pay for employee insurance.
MOHITECH Presentation
Missouri is establishing a statewide health information exchange organization called the Missouri Statewide Health Information Organization (MSHIO) to coordinate the exchange of electronic health information across the state and qualify for over $1 billion in federal funding through the HITECH Act. The MSHIO will be governed by a board of directors and comprise various qualified organizations across the state, including hospitals, provider groups, Medicaid, and private networks. The goal is to improve care coordination, reduce errors, empower consumers, and enhance the value of healthcare through interoperable exchange of data that follows national standards.
MO-HITECH Presentation
The document summarizes Missouri's plans to develop a statewide health information exchange network. It discusses:
1) Establishing the Missouri Statewide Health Information Organization (MSHIO) as a non-profit public-private partnership to govern the statewide HIE network.
2) The network will connect regional health information organizations and allow providers to exchange health information across the state in accordance with national standards.
3) MSHIO will provide core services like a patient index and secure messaging to support information sharing and help providers meet meaningful use requirements.
