I. Executive SummaryFederal Regulation 42 CFR § 438.206 and the Mississippi Division of Medicaid (DOM) require theMississippi Coordinated Care Organizations (CCOs) to have adequate networks to ensure allcovered services are available and accessible to members in a timely manner and to develop andregularly maintain provider directories that include information for all types of providers in theCCOs’ networks. DOM contracts with The Carolinas Center for Medical Excellence (CCME) toconduct a biannual validation of network access and availability along with provider directoryaccuracy for the CCOs participating in the MississippiCAN (CAN) and Mississippi CHIP (CHIP)Medicaid Managed Care Programs. The CCOs include UnitedHealthcare Community Plan –Mississippi (United), Magnolia Health Plan (Magnolia), and Molina Healthcare of Mississippi(Molina).As the contracted External Quality Review Organization (EQRO) for DOM, CCME completedprovider access studies and provider directory validations for each CCO to assess memberaccess to network providers and accuracy of the CCOs’ online provider directories.The objectives of the verification activities were to: Determine the telephonic provider access study success rate Evaluate the accuracy of each CCO’s online provider directoryTo conduct the validations, CCME used a two-phase methodology to examine provider contactinformation and provider access and availability for CAN and CHIP members. Table 1: ProviderAccess Study and Directory Validation Phases and Benchmarks defines each phase along withthe objective and benchmark rates for each phase.Table 1: Provider Access Study and Directory Validation Phases and BenchmarksPhaseObjectivePhase 1:Provider AccessStudyImprove accuracy ofprovider file informationPhase 2:Provider DirectoryValidationEnsure provider directorycontains accurateinformation for membersBenchmark RateBaseline Study: 80% successful contact rate forinitial access studySubsequent Studies: 95% successful contact rateBaseline Study: 80% for initial provider accuracyrateSubsequent Studies: 95% accuracy rateOverall FindingsThe overall successful contact rates in the most recent call study ranged from 30% to 41% andwere below the goal of 95% for all five studies conducted. Across the CCOs, the most commonreason for unsuccessful contacts was that the provider was no longer active at the location. Theprovider directory validation rates in the most recent study ranged from 56% to 89%. Routineappointment availability and access ranged from 60% to 87% and urgent appointment availability2021 – 2022 Provider Access Study and Directory Validation Report April 29, 2022 3

ranged from 40% to 87%. Table 2: Overview of Findings 2021—2022 provides a summary of therates of successful contacts, provider directory accuracy, and appointment availability for eachCCO. The arrows indicate a change in the rate from the previous review. For example, an uparrow ( ) would indicate the rate for the element improved from the previous study and a downarrow ( ) indicates the rate was lower than the previous study.Table 2: Overview of Findings 120212022MolinaCHIPQ3Q12021202238%35% 45%41% 31%30% 29%32% 37%37%73%71% 0%82% 85%56% 96%89% 90%86% 91%61% 67%54% 93%60% 71%74% 68%66% 73%87% 3%39% 7%40% 53%63% 7%59% Inaccuracy of provider contact information does not allow members easy access to providers.Once a PCP is identified, it is difficult for members to contact the PCP to schedule appointments.When issues arise with contacting PCPs for urgent appointments, members are likely to seek carefrom other settings, such as urgent care centers or emergency departments. For routine care,inability to contact a PCP may lead to delays in preventive care for members and their children.The results of the trended Provider Access and Provider Directory Validation studiesdemonstrated an opportunity for improvement in provider contact information accuracy. Initiativesare needed to address gaps to ensure all members can contact a PCP using information in theonline directory and receive the needed care in an efficient manner.Strengths, identified weaknesses, and recommendations to improve provider access andavailability for subsequent studies are noted below.Strengths Urgent appointment availability improved for all five studies.Weaknesses The successful contact rates were below the 95% benchmark rate for all five studies.2021 – 2022 Provider Access Study and Directory Validation Report April 29, 2022 4

Four of five studies showed a decline in successful contact rates. The fifth study showed nochange. Routine and urgent appointment availability was less than 95% for all CCOs. Provider Directory accuracy rates declined for four out of five studies.Recommendations Conduct internal analyses of procedures for updating provider contact information and statusfor all contracted provider locations. Conduct outreach for providers, particularly primary care providers, on a routine basis to verifydemographic information and to re-educate staff about appointment standards and lines ofbusiness for network participation. Identify barriers for provider compliance with routine and urgent appointment standards.Develop and document an action plan to address those barriers. Conduct additional internal audits to verify the accuracy of the provider file. Remove providers that do not accept the plan from Provider Directories. Determine best practices that will enable members to have access to urgent careappointments, with a focus on the CHIP PCP providers.2021 – 2022 Provider Access Study and Directory Validation Report April 29, 2022 5

II. IntroductionAs the contracted External Quality Review Organization (EQRO) for the Mississippi Division ofMedicaid (DOM), CCME conducts biannual validations of provider access and provider directoriesto ensure CCOs can provide members with timely access to primary care providers (PCPs).CCME completed a PCP telephonic access study and provider directory validation to assessprovider access and the accuracy of CCOs’ online provider directories.The objectives of the verification activities are to: Determine the telephonic provider access study success rate. Evaluate the accuracy of CCO online provider directories.A. Provider Access and Directory Validation MethodologyTo conduct the validation, CCME initiated a two-phase methodology to examine provider contactinformation, provider access, and provider availability to Medicaid members. The followingsections outline the two-phase methodology and results of the provider access study and providerdirectory validation activities.Table 3: Provider Access Study and Directory Validation Standards and Benchmarks defines thephases, objectives, and benchmark rates for each phase.Table 3: Provider Access Study and Directory Validation Phases and BenchmarksPhaseObjectivePhase 1:Provider AccessStudyImprove accuracy ofprovider file informationPhase 2:Provider DirectoryValidationEnsure provider directorycontains accurateinformation for membersBenchmark RateBaseline Study: 80% successful contact rate forinitial access studySubsequent Studies: 95% successful contact rateBaseline Study: 80% for initial provider accuracyrateSubsequent Studies: 95% accuracy ratePhase 1: Provider Access StudyThe four activities included in Phase 1 are described in Figure 1: Phase 1—Provider AccessStudies.2021 – 2022 Provider Access Study and Directory Validation Report April 29, 2022 6

Figure 1: Phase 1—Provider Access StudiesActivity 1 RequestProviderInformationFrom TheCCOActivity 2 DeterminePCP SampleFor AccessStudyActivity 3 ConductCalls ToSample OfPCPsActivity 4 DetermineMeasures ForSuccessfulAndUnsuccessfulContactsACTIVITY 1: REQUEST PROVIDER INFORMATION FROM THE CCOEach of the health plans was notified of the initiation of the review and the information needed todetermine the PCP sample. The health plans submitted the requested information to CCME’ssecure File Transfer Portal. The requested information included the web address for onlineProvider Directories for CAN and CHIP providers and the following information for each provider: National Provider Identifier (NPI) Last and First Name Credentials Provider TypeProvider SpecialtyPractice Location (Address, Suite, City, Town, State, Zip)Telephone NumberPanel StatusACTIVITY 2: DETERMINE PCP SAMPLE FOR ACCESS STUDYWhen the requested information was received from the health plans, the data was reviewed formissing and/or duplicate information. CCME randomly selected the sample from the PCP listsafter omitting any duplicate records and records with missing information for any of the requiredelements. Using the adjusted PCP population files, a statistically significant sample based on a90% confidence level (CL) and 10% margin of error was drawn for the provider access study.ACTIVITY 3: CONDUCT CALLS TO SAMPLE OF PCPSAfter selecting the sample of PCPs, CCME loaded the list into a secure web survey tool. A copy ofthe secure web survey tool is included in Appendix A. Calls were conducted to the sample ofPCPs to determine the following: Primary Elements:o Correct Phone Numbero Correct Addresso Correct CCO Affiliationo Accepting New Patients/Panel Status2021 – 2022 Provider Access Study and Directory Validation Report April 29, 2022 7

Secondary Elements:o Appointment Availability for Routine Careo Appointment Availability for Urgent CareCalls were made during normal business hours from 9:00 am – 5:00 pm local time, except for thehour from 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm. The Call Center made at least three call attempts when arespondent did not answer on the first call attempt. If the first call attempt resulted in no contactwith a live respondent, the call team member attempted to call again on another day and at adifferent time. No additional attempts were made if the first attempt resulted in reaching a wrongnumber or if the office was permanently closed. Call Center team members confirmed incorrecttelephone numbers by calling the telephone number twice. Call Center team members ended thesurvey for a PCP on the third attempt if they were prompted to leave a message, if they were onhold for more than five minutes, or if there was no answer. If the respondent stated there was aseparate number to call for appointment scheduling, the surveyor requested to be transferred orhung up and contacted the new number to obtain routine and urgent appointment availability. Theresponses to the survey questions were documented in the web survey tool and storedelectronically on CCME’s secure web-based portal.ACTIVITY 4: CALCULATE MEASURES FOR SUCCESSFUL AND UNSUCCESSFULCONTACTSA contact was considered successful when Call Center team reached the PCP and obtained aresponse for the primary elements listed in Activity 3. Calls were considered to be unsuccessfulwhen the survey was incomplete due to hold time, no answer, provider not with practice, refusal toparticipate, etc. Voicemail responses were not included in the successful or unsuccessful contactrates. For PCPs with successful contacts, Phase 2 activities were initiated.Phase 2: Validation of Online Provider Directory InformationPhase 2 involved validation of information in the health plan’s online provider directory andincluded the three activities described in Figure 2: Validation of Provider Directory.Figure 2: Validation of Provider DirectoryActivity 1 Log Into URLFor OnlineDirectoryActivity 2 ValidateInformation InProvider DirectoryActivity 3 CalculateAccuracy RatesACTIVITY 1: LOG INTO URL FOR ONLINE DIRECTORYCCME confirmed the URL for the health plan’s online provider directory used by members tosearch for providers.2021 – 2022 Provider Access Study and Directory Validation Report April 29, 2022 8

ACTIVITY 2: VALIDATE INFORMATION IN PROVIDER DIRECTORYFor the PCPs for whom there was a successfully completed call, information in the providerdirectory was validated. The information validated included the phone number, address, andwhether the PCP was accepting new Medicaid patients.ACTIVITY 3: CALCULATE ACCURACY RATESThe measures included in the calculation of accuracy rates included: The percentage of PCPs listed in the online directory. The percentage of PCPs with matching phone number.The percentage of PCPs with matching address. The percentage of PCPs with matching information regarding panel status (whether they wereaccepting new patients).The following table displays the timeline for the activities conducted for the 2021-2022 contractyear.Table 4: Contract Year 2021—2022Health PlanInitialNotification andRequest forProvider Data orCAP ResponseProvider Dataor CAPResponseReceived fromCCOProvider Calls &Directory ValidationBeginEndReport or CAPResponseSubmitted toDOMSECOND QUARTER 2021NETWORK ADEQUACY 21THIRD QUARTER 2021NETWORK ADEQUACY CAP nolia9/1/219/10/21N/AN/A9/15/21FOURTH QUARTER 2021NETWORK ADEQUACY 2212/8/21N/AN/A12/17/211/19/222/9/222/22/22CAP REVIEWMolina12/1/2112/10/21FIRST QUARTER 2022NETWORK ADEQUACY /22CAP REVIEW2021 – 2022 Provider Access Study and Directory Validation Report April 29, 2022 9

CCME conducted a telephonic survey to determine if the CCO-provided PCP contact informationwas accurate, including the provider’s telephone number and address, and whether the providerwas accepting the CCO and accepting new Medicaid members. Appointment availability for urgentand routine care was also evaluated. An overall success rate was determined using the followingformula:Success Rate the number of providers contacted at the listed phone number and who confirmedcontact information and accepting CCO divided by the number of calls completed that do not havea voicemail answering service, multiplied by 100.Provider Access Study Successful ContactsUnited CAN – For Q2 2021, of the 92 PCPs contacted, four calls were answered by voicemail andthereby omitted from the denominator in the success rate formula. After accounting for the callsanswered by voicemail, the Phase 1 success rate was 38% (33 of 88). For Q4 2021, of the 92PCPs contacted, 12 calls were answered by voicemail and thereby omitted from the denominatorin the success rate formula. After accounting for the voicemail answered calls, the Phase 1success rate was 35% (28 out of 80).United CHIP – For Q2 2021, of the 92 PCPs contacted, five were answered by voicemail andthereby omitted from the denominator in the success rate formula. After accounting for voicemailanswered calls, the Phase 1 success rate was 45% (39 of 87). For Q4 2021, of the 90 PCPscontacted, seven were answered by voicemail and thereby omitted from the denominator in thesuccess rate formula. After accounting for voicemail answered calls, the Phase 1 success ratewas 41% (34 of 83). Both CAN and CHIP success rates for both studies were below the goal rateof 95% (see Figure 6).Figure 6: United CAN and CHIP Successful Contact Rates50%45%45%40%41%38%35%35%30%25%20%15%10%5%0%Q2 2021Q4 2021United CANQ2 2021Q4 2021United CHIP2021 – 2022 Provider Access Study and Directory Validation Report April 29, 2022 12

Magnolia CAN – For Q2 2021, of the 90 PCPs contacted, two were answered by voicemail andthereby omitted from the denominator in the success rate formula. After accounting for thevoicemail answered calls, the Phase 1 success rate was 31% (27 out of 88). For Q4 2021, of the89 PCPs contacted, seven were answered by voicemail and thereby omitted from the denominatorin the success rate formula. After accounting for the voicemail answered calls, the Phase 1success rate was 30% (25 of 82). For both quarters, the success rates were below the target rateof 95% for Phase 1 successful contacts (see Figure 7).Figure 7: Magnolia CAN Successful Contact Rates31%31%31%31%31%30%30%30%30%30%30%29%Q2 2021Q4 2021Molina CAN – For Q3 2021, of 90 PCPs contacted, eight calls were answered by voicemail andthereby omitted from the denominator in the success rate formula.
