Improving Medicaid: Assessment of District of Columbia Agencies\u27 Claims Processes and Recommendations for Improvements in Efficiency and Customer Service

The District of Columbia Department of Health Care Finance (DHCF), like other state Medicaid agencies, is constantly challenged to improve service delivery and reimbursement for Medicaid services. In the District, several governmental agencies ( Partner Agencies ) play an instrumental role in Medicaid – either as a Medicaid provider or in operating a Medicaid program. Today, each Partner Agency may retain its own system and process for claims submission, provider enrollment, and administrative claiming as it relates to Medicaid. For these reasons, the DHCF initiated an assessment of the Medicaid claims processes for Partner Agencies. The purpose of the assessment is to identify areas of duplication and inefficiencies and recommend a solution(s) to the DHCF to improve efficiency and customer service. The central recommendation arising from this assessment is that the District of Columbia procure the services of a single administrative services organization (ASO) to perform billing, claims submittal, and related administrative functions for the identified DC agencies examined as a means of achieving greater efficiency and improved customer service

CONCLUSION: NATURAL HAZARD POLITICAL CONTEXTS AND ADOPTION STRATEGIES

Natural hazard mitigation-disaster preparedness involves low probability, high consequence politics. Timelplace indeterminacy of catastrophic events seldom allow them to be factored into public or private investment and risk management decisions. Public policies to alleviate impediments to the implementation of effective policy must acknowledge political cultural biases as well as fiscal limitations.
