CMHI SOC Evaluation: Financial Mapping Interview Protocol

Overview

Evaluation Question. What funding sources are used to support the SOC expansion efforts and how do they change over time?

The National Evaluation Team (NET) will review documents and interview key informants to collect data necessary to map the funding streams covering children’s mental health services, including any blending or braiding of funds. In addition, the team will identify any eligibility criteria for the specific service types. This information will be collected twice for three grantee cohorts to identify the funding sources used in Year 1 or Year 2, and how it changed two years later. The purpose of financial mapping is to document the primary public funding sources being used to implement and expand systems of care over the life of the expansion planning and implementation grants. Measuring changes over time in target populations, funding streams, services, and eligibility will document grantees’ ability to implement sustainable expansion strategies and help identify what strategies are most successful. Please note: the NET does not expect to collect data on actual service budgets or expenditures in this component of the evaluation.

In addition to the financial mapping information, the NET will also explore the ability of Medicaid and Mental Health agencies to share data and/or track shared clients. This information will help the team to identify states that have effective information systems and may be interested in participating in the benchmarking component of this evaluation.

Data Collection Instruments. The NET will use two data collection approaches in this component of the evaluation: document review and key informant interviews. We will review grantee information and additional requested documents, as well as the websites of state Medicaid agencies, state or county Mental Health agencies, and tribal authorities to collect as much preliminary information as possible and to become familiar with the terminology used in each state’s mental health service system. This review will be used to prepopulate a list of children’s mental health services which will be sent to respondents at least a week before the interview for clarification and correction. This corrected list will be incorporated into the interview tool and provide the basis for gathering data on eligibility and financing of these services. Customizing the interview tool for each state will allow interviews to focus on validation of information, clarification of information, and filling in any gaps.

The NET has drafted interview schedules for the following five organizations. Each interview covers the same general topics but is customized to the particular scope of each organization.

• Mental Health Authority

• Medicaid Agency

• Tribal Health Authority

• Mental Health Provider Trade Association (will not be conducted for interviews with tribal grantees)

• Family/Youth Organization

This packet includes these draft interview schedules. The Mental Health Provider Trade Association interview is more limited in scope and focuses on any limitations on how public payers are using SOC services and whether commercial payers are buying any. The Family/Youth Organization interview focuses on the scope of services provided by the organization and how they are financed.

This interview will be conducted twice. From the first year interview and document analysis, the NET will map baseline funding for children’s mental health services. The subsequent interview, conducted two years later, will identify changes. The same interview will be conducted for the adult division of the mental health agency if the system of care (SOC) is serving young adults ages 18 or older. In addition, the Medicaid agency will also be interviewed about its provision of children’s mental health services.

After MHA, Medicaid and tribal interviews, key information will be summarized and sent back to respondents for verification and correction, if necessary. Once validated, this information will provide the basis for baseline analysis. In addition, this information will be the starting point for interviews two years later, when respondents will be asked to identify any changes in services provided, eligibility standards, sources of financing, and availability across the state, county or tribal territory.

Analysis. The financial map will identify (1) the continuum of children’s mental health services and for each service: (2) any applicable income or clinical eligibility standards, and (3) sources of funds (funding agency or agencies, which could include juvenile justice, child welfare, and education sources).

The NET’s specific focus will be to identify changes in the structure of financing between the baseline year and two years later, and the impact of these changes on behavioral health services for children in the jurisdiction. The map will also document any relevant expansion of benefits to broaden coverage or geographic availability for services that may be introduced as part of the SOC, such as wraparound planning, intensive care coordination, family and youth peer-support, and flexible funds.

Attachment 6b

INFORMED CONSENT

These interviews will be conducted with grantee representatives over the phone. Thus, information about the purpose and scope of the evaluation will be shared at the beginning of the interview over the phone. The respondent will be asked if he/she understands the information shared and voluntarily agrees to respond to the questions. Thus, a verbal consent will be acquired over the phone.

Our next set of questions pertains to Mental Health Authority services designated for or primarily used by children with SED.

6. How does your agency’s definition for Serious Emotional Disturbance (SED) compare to SAMHSA’s definition? (eg, more or less restrictive in terms of age, specified diagnoses or level of functioning, or substantially comparable.)

SAMHSA’s Definition of Serious Emotional Disturbance (SED)

Federal Register: Volume 58, Number 96. Pages 29422-29425

The CMHS definition is that children with “serious emotional disturbance” are persons:

1. From birth up to age 18

2. Who currently or at any time during the past year have had a diagnosable mental, behavioral, or emotional disorder of sufficient duration to meet diagnostic criteria specified within the current DSM

3. That resulted in functional impairment, which substantially interferes with or limits the child's role or functioning in family, school, or community activities (p.29425).

Mental disorders are those listed in DSM-III-R or their ICD-9-CM equivalent (and subsequent revisions) Those of biological etiology are included and DSM-III-R `V' codes, substance use, and developmental disorders are excluded.

“Functional impairment is defined as difficulties that substantially interfere with or limit a child or adolescent from achieving or maintaining one or more developmentally-appropriate social, behavioral, cognitive, communicative, or adaptive skills. Functional impairments of episodic, recurrent, and continuous duration are included unless they are temporary and expected responses to stressful events in their environment. Children who would have met functional impairment criteria during the referenced year without the benefit of treatment or other support services are included in this definition….” (p. 29425).

6. Who is authorized to determine whether a child has SED? ( Probes: Provider clinician, state or county clinician, summary assessment submitted to State/County, other)

6. Have you ever received a report from Medicaid on the use or cost of Medicaid services by children with SED? If so, how were these children identified? Probes: matched client IDs, defined SED by diagnoses or claims, have a marker in the Medicaid system that identifies clients with SED

For this part of the evaluation, we are focusing on some of the core services needed by children with SED in a system of care. These include wraparound planning, intensive care coordination, flexible funding, family peer services and youth peer services. We recognize that you may not provide all these services or may include additional services when thinking about systems of care. The next set of questions addresses how these five services fit into the overall service system for children with SED.

6. First, we’d like to confirm that we correctly understand the population of focus your current CMHI grant. Can you review this description and let us know if anything needs to be corrected? (Note: we will summarize this from our review of grant documents using such categories as age, region, clinical criteria, functional criteria, use of certain type of service (eg. inpatient, residential), referral source, child welfare status, juvenile justice status, other)

[Insert state/county specific description here}

6. Who authorizes children to receive wraparound planning, intensive care coordination, flexible funding and family or youth peer services?

Finally, we would like your thoughts about the factors in your state likely to be relevant to generating sustainable funding for statewide SOC services.

6. What are the main barriers to funding the system of care services on a statewide basis? (probe: what agencies are responsible for addressing these barriers?)

6. Now that we have discussed the barriers, what factors in your state are facilitating the funding of the system of care services on a statewide basis? (probe: what agencies or other entities are involved?)

Closing Comments

6. What else can you tell us to help us understand the Mental Health Authority’s contribution to financing SOC or related services for children with SED and their families in your state?

We plan to summarize the information you have provided and give you a chance to review it to be sure we correctly understand your state’s financing. Thank you very much for your help.

For this part of the evaluation, we are focusing on some of the core services needed by children with SED in a system of care. These include wraparound planning, intensive care coordination, flexible funding, family peer services and youth peer services. We recognize that you may not provide all these services or may include additional services when thinking about systems of care. The next set of questions addresses how these five services fit into the overall service system for children with SED.

8. What is your understanding of the definition of the population of focus for the state’s CMHI grant?

For this part of the evaluation, we are focusing on some of the core services needed by children with SED in a system of care. These include wraparound planning, intensive care coordination, flexible funding, family peer services and youth peer services. We recognize that you may not provide all these services or may include additional services when thinking about systems of care. The next set of questions addresses how these five services fit into the overall service system for children with SED.

9. First, we’d like to confirm our understanding of who the population of focus is for your current CMHI grant. Can you review this description and let us know if anything needs to be corrected? (Note: we will summarize this from our review of grant documents using such categories as age, region, clinical criteria, functional criteria, use of certain type of service (eg. inpatient, residential), referral source, child welfare status, juvenile justice status, other)

[Insert tribe specific description here}
