Data Link Agreement - Maricopa County & Arizona Physicians IPA, Inc.
Attachment A
MARICOPA COUNTY CORRECTIONAL HEALTH
ARIZONA PHYSICIANS IPA, INC.
COLLABORATIVE AGREEMENT
Background
The Maricopa County Correctional Health Services (CHS) enhances community safety
by working in a collaborative partnership with AHCCCS, Arizona Physicians IPA, Inc.
d/b/a UnitedHealthcare Community Plan (UHCCP) and its contracted providers to
provide research-based prevention and intervention services. UHCCP’s contracted
providers deliver a range of health care services and treatment programs for adults and
youth with physical health needs, serious mental illness and other mental health and/or
substance abuse disorders.
To facilitate the transition of members transitioning out of jails and back into our
community, collaboration between CHS and UHCCP is critical to reentry activities.
Specifically, UHCCP will collaborate with CHS to accomplish “reach-in” care
coordination for members who have been incarcerated in the adult correctional system
for 30 days or longer and have an anticipated release date. “Reach-in” care coordination
activities shall begin upon knowledge of a member’s anticipated release date. UHCCP
will collaborate with CHS to identify justice-involved General Mental Health/Substance
Use (GMHSU) members in the adult criminal justice system with physical and/or
behavioral health chronic and/or complex care needs prior to member’s release.
Il. Data Sharing and Coordination
UHCCP and CHS will partner to:
a) Communicate timely data necessary for coordination of care in conformance with
all applicable administrative orders, state laws and regulations, 42 CFR Part 2, and
Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) requirements that
permit the sharing of written, verbal and electronic information, and
b) Utilize data sharing agreements and administrative orders that permit the sharing
of written, verbal and electronic information at the time of admission into the
facility and at the time of discharge.
Proprietary
III. Collaborative Protocols
When UHCCP becomes aware that a member is incarcerated, and is subject to the
“Reach-In” requirements, described above:
Il The UHCCP Point of Contact or designee will complete a Justice Transition Form
(JTF) for GMHSU members with designated chronic conditions and send the JTF to
CHS:
a. CHS will confirm diagnosis/chronic condition in TechCare.
b. CHS will complete the CHS section of the JTF and return it to UHCCP — scan
it into TechCare.
If CHS identifies newly diagnosed chronic care conditions, CHS will complete a
JTF and send it to VHCCP Point of Contact or designee.
If member has a diagnosis of HIV+, Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT), or
Substance Use/Misuse, the member’s written consent to release and share
information must be completed and uploaded into TechCare prior to disclosure of
the member’s identifying information.
If member is in jail 30 days or more, the UHCCP Point of Contact or designee will
initiate a video or in person visit with the member.
An appointment will be made with member’s Primary Care Physician (PCP) to
occur within 7 days of release.
The UHCCP Point of Contact or designee will forward to CHS an “Introduction
Letter,” via secure email, with the following information:
a. Appointment day/time
b. Clinic name and location
c. Health Plan Point of Contact (or designee) contact information
7. CHS will place this introduction letter into the member’s property which will be
provided upon jail release.
8. CHS and UHCCP Point of Contact or other health staff may coordinate special
needs prior to jail release (such as courtesy release, medical equipment, or
specific medications).
IV. Provide mechanisms for communication and resolving problems
CHS and UHCCP will have quarterly steering committee meetings to build and
strengthen relationships and address any problems or conflicts. Additionally,
UHCCP will identify and extend invitations to CHS, to provider level meetings
appropriate for CHS participation.
Proprietary
Meetings shall include opportunities for agency cross-training and for identifying,
communicating and resolving problems to increase understanding and knowledge
of each other's mission, goals and how, through agency collaboration, members are
provided identified services to improve their health and well-being and reduce
recidivism.
UHCCP and CHS will work together to ensure processes from both agencies are
being practiced. On-going improvement efforts will focus on reducing
redundancies and providing timely, accurate and relevant information to coordinate
services and evaluate outcomes of those services.
UHCCP and CHS will identify key staff who have the authority to assist with
disputes and find resolutions based on the agreements and best interest of the
populations jointly served. If necessary, this may include the UHCCP Chief Medical
Officer (or designee) and the CHS Mental Health Director. Meetings shall include
opportunities to report identified gaps and discuss and act on resolutions.
Identify and address joint training needs
UHCCP and its contracted providers and CHS will provide cross training opportunities
as mutually agreeable needs are identified.
