Abstract: Inpatient care provided to adults in institutions for mental disease (IMDs) are excluded from federal Medicaid matching funds. The Affordable Care Act (ACA) authorized the Medicaid Emergency Psychiatric Demonstration (MEPD) to provide Medicaid payment for inpatient services provided by private IMDs to adults with emergency psychiatric conditions. Twelve states and 27 IMDs are participating in the MEPD. The ACA mandates an evaluation of the MEPD that includes assessment of (A) access to inpatient mental health services under the Medicaid program; average lengths of inpatients stays; and emergency room (ER) visits; (B) discharge planning by participating IMDs; (C) the impact of the MEPD on the costs of the full range of mental health services (including inpatient, emergency, and ambulatory care); and (D) the percentage of consumers with Medicaid coverage who are admitted to IMDs as a result of the MEPD as compared to those admitted to the IMDs through other means. The evaluation must include a recommendation regarding whether the MEPD should be continued after December 31, 2013, and expanded on a national basis. The evaluation involves a mixed-methods approach. Quantitative data from administrative records provided by participating states, IMDs, and referring ERs will address ACA areas A, C, and D. Qualitative data will assess discharge planning processes and, to ensure compliance with demonstration requirements, processes used to determine the existence of an emergency psychiatric condition, need for inpatient admission, and stabilization. Qualitative data will be collected through document reviews, telephone interviews with state project directors and beneficiaries, and site visits that include medical record reviews and interviews with staff of participating IMDs and associated general hospitals and ERs.

Burden Increase Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: Based on changes made as a result of the pilot test, the burden estimate has increased since the 60-day Federal Register notice was published, by a total of 567 hours, from a total of 2,046 hours to 2,613 hours.The largest increase is due to the pilot test's demonstration of the need for facility staff to assist the evaluation contractor in finding information in the medical records. To reflect this need, we have added 2.5 hours of staff time to assist with the medical record reviews at each of the 81 facilities that we visit in each of the two rounds of site visits, for a total increase in burden of 405 hours. A further increase in burden is due to the pilot test's demonstration of the need to obtain additional informed consents for beneficiary interviews from IMD staff. We originally asked for only 10 consents in hopes of interviewing 5 beneficiaries from each IMD. Difficulties in reaching many of the beneficiaries in the pilot test, however, revealed the need to obtain additional consents in order to complete five interviews.
