1. Executive Summary
Purpose and Overview of Report
States with Medicaid managed care delivery systems are required to annually provide an assessment of managed care entities' performance related to the quality of, timeliness of, and access to care and services they provide, as mandated by 42 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) ?438.364. To meet this requirement, the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) has contracted with Health Services Advisory Group, Inc. (HSAG) to perform the assessment and produce this annual report.
MDHHS administers and oversees the Michigan Medicaid managed care program. The Michigan Medicaid managed care program's managed care entities include 11 Medicaid Health Plans (MHPs) contracted with MDHHS to provide medical services to Medicaid recipients in Michigan. The MHPs include:
? Aetna Better Health of Michigan ? Blue Cross Complete of Michigan ? HAP Empowered ? McLaren Health Plan ? Meridian Health Plan of Michigan ? Molina Healthcare of Michigan ? Priority Health Choice, Inc. ? Total Health Care, Inc. ? Trusted Health Plan ? UnitedHealthcare Community Plan ? Upper Peninsula Health Plan
Scope of External Quality Review (EQR) Activities
To conduct this assessment, HSAG used the results of mandatory external quality review (EQR) activities, as described in 42 CFR ?438.358. The purpose of these activities, in general, is to provide valid and reliable data and information about the MHPs' performance. For the state fiscal year (SFY) 2018?2019 assessment, HSAG used findings from the following mandatory EQR activities to derive conclusions and make recommendations about the quality of, timeliness of, and access to care and services provided by each MHP. More detailed information about each activity is provided in Section 4 of this report.
