effective for the member. MCPs may also implement a drug<br />

utilization review program designed to promote the appropriate clinical<br />

prescribing <strong>of</strong> antipsychotic drugs. This can be accomplished<br />

through the MCP’s retrospective analysis <strong>of</strong> drug claims to identify<br />

potential inappropriate use <strong>and</strong> provide education to those providers<br />

who are outliers to acceptable st<strong>and</strong>ards for prescribing/dispensing<br />

antipsychotic drugs.<br />

MCPs must comply with the provisions <strong>of</strong> 1927(d)(5) <strong>of</strong> the Social<br />

Security Act, 42 USC 1396r-8(k)(3), <strong>and</strong> OAC rule 5101:3-26-<br />

03.1 regarding the timeframes for prior authorization <strong>of</strong> covered<br />

outpatient drugs.<br />

Controlled Substances <strong>and</strong> Member Management Programs: MCPs<br />

may also, with ODJFS prior approval, develop <strong>and</strong> implement<br />

Controlled Substances <strong>and</strong> Member Management (CSMM)<br />

programs designed to address use <strong>of</strong> controlled substances.<br />

Utilization management strategies may include prior authorization<br />

as a condition <strong>of</strong> obtaining a controlled substance, as defined in<br />

section 3719.01 <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Ohio</strong> Revised Code. CSMM strategies may<br />

also include processes for requiring MCP members at high risk for<br />

fraud or abuse involving controlled substances to have their<br />

narcotic medications prescribed by a designated provider/providers<br />

<strong>and</strong> filled by a pharmacy, medical provider, or health care facility<br />

designated by the program.<br />

ii. Emergency <strong>Department</strong> Diversion (EDD) – MCPs must provide<br />

access to services in a way that assures access to primary,<br />

specialist <strong>and</strong> urgent care in the most appropriate settings <strong>and</strong> that<br />

minimizes frequent, preventable utilization <strong>of</strong> emergency<br />

department (ED) services. OAC rule 5101:3-26-03.1(A)(7)(d)<br />

requires MCPs to implement the ODJFS-required emergency<br />

department diversion (EDD) program for frequent utilizers.<br />

Each MCP must establish an ED diversion (EDD) program with<br />

the goal <strong>of</strong> minimizing frequent ED utilization. The MCP’s EDD<br />

program must include the monitoring <strong>of</strong> ED utilization,<br />

identification <strong>of</strong> frequent ED utilizers, <strong>and</strong> targeted approaches<br />

designed to reduce avoidable ED utilization. MCP EDD programs<br />

must, at a minimum, address those ED visits which could have<br />

been prevented through improved education, access, quality or care<br />

management approaches.<br />

Although there is <strong>of</strong>ten an assumption that frequent ED visits are<br />

solely the result <strong>of</strong> a preference on the part <strong>of</strong> the member <strong>and</strong><br />

education is therefore the st<strong>and</strong>ard remedy, it is also important to<br />

ensure that a member’s frequent ED utilization is not due to
