MLTC Rate Alignment Meeting Thursday

Mercer, the state's contracted actuarial firm that helps the state develop Medicaid managed care rates, including managed long term care (MLTC) rates, will hold a webinar on Thursday, Feb. 16 at 2:30 pm to discuss aligning rate setting methodologies for MLTC plans for 2017-18.  The presentation will cover the current methodology, changes to the MAP program and rate setting alignment across the different types of MLTC programs. 

Plans should have received information on accessing the session on Tuesday, but if you did not, please let us know.  Webinar slides are available here.  Among the changes contemplated, Mercer seems to be looking to combine Single Cap, MAP, PACE and FIDA plan data to calculate a single medical component to be used for all four models.  Thursday’s discussion would be especially relevant for financial staff familiar with current rate development. 

Advance questions can be submitted to mltcrs@health.ny.gov beofre the end of the day Tuesday, Feb 14.
