1. Pending Choice is when 

Explanation

Pending Choice refers to a situation where the recipient of a managed care plan has the ability to choose a plan, but they will not be able to start receiving services until their Medicaid eligibility has been approved. This means that although they have the option to select a plan, they cannot actually begin using the services until their Medicaid status has been confirmed.

2. The recipient changed the plan during the Lock-In period using a Good Cause 1. The plan change was approved and the new plan will become effective on 05/01/2015. When will the 90 day change period start?

Explanation

The 90 day change period will start on 05/01/2015 because that is when the new plan will become effective.

Submit
3. Caller is locked in and says: "I never picked this plan! You all put me in it! My doctor, that I really like, doesn't take this plan and has never taken it!  I've been with the same doctor for years, I don't want to change."  Which GC would apply?

Explanation

GC9 would apply in this situation because the caller is expressing dissatisfaction with the plan and specifically mentioning that their preferred doctor does not accept it. GC9 refers to complaints or concerns about the provider network, which includes issues related to the availability and accessibility of preferred doctors or healthcare providers. The caller's statement indicates that they are unhappy with the plan because it does not allow them to continue seeing their preferred doctor.

Submit
4. Oscar Wilde changed his plan during his Open Enrollment period (5/6/2015 to 07/31/2015). When will his new plan start?

Explanation

Oscar Wilde changed his plan during his Open Enrollment period, which was from 5/6/2015 to 07/31/2015. Since his new plan will start after the Open Enrollment period, the earliest possible start date would be the day after the enrollment period ends, which is 08/01/2015.

Submit
5. Caller is locked in and says: "I have HIV and my doctor told me to change to Clear Health Alliance / Positive HealthCare. I need that to start soon because all of my new specialists take that plan." Which GC would apply?

Explanation

The correct answer is GC17. This is because the caller mentions having HIV and needing to switch to Clear Health Alliance / Positive HealthCare because their new specialists accept that plan. GC17 specifically addresses callers with HIV/AIDS who need to switch to a plan that covers their specialists.

Submit
6. Caller is locked in and says: "Medicaid sent me a letter a while back with my open enrollment dates, but I forgot to call you to change my plan. I think the last day was last Thursday. I just want to change it because my sister said her plan was better than mine."  Which GC would apply?

Explanation

not-available-via-ai

Submit
7. A member has called several times and states their doctor will stop taking their current plan starting next month.  You look in HealthTrack and the PCP is still showing with the current plan, so the GC1 (Provider No Longer with Plan) is denied.  You explain this to the caller and they state they have a letter from the doctor's office that states the PCP is no longer taking the plan.  What should you do next?

Explanation

If the member has a letter from the doctor's office stating that the PCP is no longer taking the plan, it is important to verify this information with AHCA (Agency for Health Care Administration) for confirmation. Asking the caller to fax the letter allows for proper documentation and verification of the situation. This will ensure that the member's concerns are addressed and the appropriate actions can be taken to find a new doctor or make necessary changes to the plan if needed.

Submit
8. When the member has an issue with thier plan, what should they do first?

Explanation

When a member has an issue with their plan, the first step they should take is to call the health plan. By contacting the health plan directly, they may be able to provide assistance and guidance in resolving the issue. This allows the member to address their concerns and potentially find a solution without needing to file a grievance or complaint with other entities such as the Area Medicaid Office or DCF.

Submit
9. One of the GC9 questions in HealthTrack asks: Was the member mandatorily assigned to the current plan?  How do you determine this?

Explanation

The correct answer is to look in HealthTrack History or FMMIS. This is because these systems contain the necessary information about the member's plan assignment. By reviewing the member's history in HealthTrack or checking the FMMIS system, you can determine whether the member was mandatorily assigned to the current plan or not. This ensures accurate and reliable information for the GC9 submission.

Submit
10. I am on Medically Needy Medicaid and need to know my share of cost.  Who should I call?

Explanation

DCF stands for the Department of Children and Families. In this context, the person on Medically Needy Medicaid should call DCF to know their share of cost. DCF is responsible for administering Medicaid programs and can provide information about the individual's specific share of cost based on their eligibility and circumstances.

Submit
11. I was told I have a private insurance listed on my case, but I haven't had that for years, who do I call to take that off my case?

Explanation

The correct answer is TPL Corrections. TPL stands for Third Party Liability, which refers to any insurance coverage that is not provided by the government. In this case, the individual was informed that they have a private insurance listed on their case, but they haven't had it for years. To remove this incorrect information from their case, they should contact TPL Corrections, who will handle the necessary corrections and updates to their insurance information.

Submit
12. The recipient calls to make a LTC  plan change. What are their options to receive services?

Explanation

The recipient is currently in a Nursing Home, which means they are not eligible to make a plan change. However, they do have the option to change their plan to PACE, which is the only available option for them. They cannot change into another available LTC plan, nor can they keep their current American Eldercare plan.

Submit
13. What options does this recipient have?

Explanation

The recipient has the option to either remain in United or disenroll from United and wait to receive services once Medicaid is approved. This suggests that the recipient can choose to continue with their current plan or cancel it and wait for Medicaid to provide the necessary services.

Submit
14. The recipient calls to enroll into a managed care plan. What are their enrollment options?

Explanation

The correct answer is that the recipient is voluntary because of the TPL on file and they have the options of remaining FFS or enrolling into a Health plan. This means that the recipient has the choice to either continue with Fee-for-Service (FFS) or opt for a managed care Health plan. The presence of a Third Party Liability (TPL) on file does not restrict the recipient from enrolling in a plan, but rather makes their enrollment voluntary.

Submit
15. Recipients that enroll through Med Pending and start services

Explanation

The statement "Recipients that enroll through Med Pending and start services" implies that the recipients have already enrolled in a plan and have started receiving services. The options state that they cannot change the plan while in Med Pending, may be billed for services if Medicaid is denied, and may disenroll. Therefore, all of the given options are true for recipients who enroll through Med Pending and start services.

Submit
16. Why is the recipient listed below Excluded from enrolling into a LTC plan?

Explanation

The recipient is excluded from enrolling into a LTC plan because they are currently living in an Intermediate Care Facility for Persons with Developmental Disabilities.

Submit
17. Why is the recipient below categorized as Voluntary?

Explanation

The recipient is categorized as voluntary because she has APD: WL, which stands for Agency for Persons with Disabilities Waitlist. This indicates that she has voluntarily chosen to be on the waitlist for the Agency for Persons with Disabilities, suggesting that she is seeking assistance or support from this agency.

Submit
18. Which tab below would indicate if the recipient has been pre-approved for CMS?

Explanation

The tab "Special Conditions" would indicate if the recipient has been pre-approved for CMS. This tab is likely to contain information about any specific conditions or requirements that need to be met in order for the recipient to be eligible for CMS. By checking this tab, it can be determined if the recipient has met the necessary criteria for pre-approval.

Submit
19. The recipient calls to enroll into a plan. The agent informs the recipient they are not eligible to enroll into a LTC plan because they receive services through the Agency for Persons with Disabilites waiver .

Explanation

The recipient is informed by the agent that they are not eligible to enroll in a Long-Term Care (LTC) plan because they receive services through the Agency for Persons with Disabilities waiver. This means that the recipient is already receiving services and support from the waiver program, which likely provides them with the necessary care and assistance. Therefore, enrolling in an LTC plan would not be applicable or necessary for them. Hence, the statement is true.

Submit
20. If the recipient has an active CMS span on file,...

Explanation

If the recipient has an active CMS span on file, it means that they are already enrolled in CMS. Therefore, there is no need to ask the CMS questions again since the recipient's information is already on file.

Submit
21. What does the "T" shown for the recipient's LTC coverage mean ?

Explanation

The "T" shown for the recipient's LTC coverage indicates that the recipient has experienced a temporary loss and will continue to receive services at no charge for a period of 60 days. This means that even though their coverage has been temporarily interrupted, they will still be able to access the necessary services without having to pay for them during this 60-day period.

Submit
22. If the CMS special condition expires,...

Explanation

If the CMS special condition expires, it means that the child's eligibility for CMS services related to that condition is no longer valid. Therefore, the child will be disenrolled from CMS as they no longer meet the criteria for enrollment.

Submit
23. The recipient's mother calls in to enroll her son  into a plan. Is the recipient eligible to enroll into a managed care plan?

Explanation

Submit
24. MMA plans must provide continuity of care for up to _________ days.

Explanation

MMA plans must provide continuity of care for up to 60 days. This means that individuals enrolled in MMA plans can receive uninterrupted medical care for a period of 60 days, ensuring that their healthcare needs are met without any gaps or disruptions in coverage. This provision is important for maintaining the quality and effectiveness of healthcare services provided under MMA plans.

Submit
25. Caller states:  "I just started my new plan and just remembered I have an appointment with my old doctor for a procedure.  What should I do?" How should you proceed? 

Explanation

The correct answer is to explain Continuity of Care and refer to the new plan for more information. This is the most appropriate response because Continuity of Care ensures that individuals can continue receiving care from their previous healthcare provider for a certain period of time after switching to a new plan. By explaining this concept to the caller and referring them to the new plan for more information, you are addressing their concern and providing them with the necessary guidance to reschedule their appointment.

Submit
26. When did the member's current Medicaid HMO start?

Explanation

The member's current Medicaid HMO started on 05/01/2014.

Submit

Submit
30. Where should you refer LTC recipients who need additional assistance with changing from a PACE plan?

Explanation

Recipients of LTC (Long-Term Care) who require extra help with transitioning from a PACE (Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly) plan should be referred to the Elder Helpline. The Elder Helpline is a resource that provides assistance and guidance to seniors and their families, offering information on a variety of topics including healthcare options and support services. Therefore, referring LTC recipients to the Elder Helpline would be the appropriate course of action in this scenario.

Submit
31. How will PACE enrollees receive their medical services?

Explanation

PACE enrollees will receive their medical services through PACE because PACE covers both medical and long-term care (LTC) services. PACE, which stands for Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly, is a comprehensive program that provides coordinated and integrated care for individuals who are eligible for both Medicare and Medicaid. PACE organizations arrange and provide all necessary medical, social, and LTC services for their enrollees, allowing them to receive all their needed care through the PACE program.

Submit
32. For LTC plans, enrollees that have a "temporary loss" will

Explanation

Enrollees in LTC plans who experience a "temporary loss" will continue receiving services from the LTC plan for up to 60 days. This means that even if they temporarily lose their Medicaid coverage, they will still be able to receive the necessary services from the LTC plan during that period. This ensures that individuals do not face a disruption in their care while they work to reinstate their Medicaid coverage.

Submit
33. When will the 90 day trial period start for Med Pending enrollments?

Explanation

The correct answer is "90 days will start on the first month eligibility has been received." This means that once a person becomes eligible for the Med Pending enrollment, the 90-day trial period will begin in the first month of their eligibility.

Submit
34. What should you do if the HIV/AIDS special condition is not listed in the system? 

Explanation

If the HIV/AIDS special condition is not listed in the system, the appropriate action would be to tell the caller to fax documentation of the special condition. This is necessary in order for the case to be updated and for the system to reflect the caller's special condition accurately.

Submit
35. What are the enrollment options for the recipient below?

Explanation

The correct answer is "Member can only enroll in PACE." This means that the recipient has limited options for enrollment and can only choose the PACE plan. They are not eligible to enroll in any other plan except for PACE.

Submit
36. To complete a plan change from PACE into a LTC plan, the recipient must

Explanation

To complete a plan change from PACE into a LTC plan, the recipient must call the Elder Helpline. This suggests that the Elder Helpline is the appropriate channel for the recipient to request a plan change. The other options, such as completing the plan change online, calling SSA, or calling the SMMC line, are not mentioned as necessary steps for completing the plan change. Therefore, calling the Elder Helpline seems to be the correct course of action in this scenario.

Submit
37. This member is Excluded under MMA because...

Explanation

PACE (Programs of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly) is a healthcare program that provides comprehensive medical and long-term care services to eligible individuals. This includes both medical services, such as doctor visits and hospital care, as well as long-term care services, such as nursing home care and assistance with daily activities. Therefore, if a member is excluded under MMA (Medicare Modernization Act), it means that they are not eligible for PACE services, which include both medical and long-term care services.
