Medicaid Utilization Analyst 12
This position serves as the recognized resource to identify foster care individuals with psychotropic medication regimens that require additional physician review, preparing the physician review materials, and then performing additional monitoring or follow-up required following the physician review. Physician reviews are required for complex psychotropic medication cases as part of the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services Foster Care Psychotropic Medication Oversight (FC-PMOU) Section policy FOM 802-1 which was mandated as a result of a lawsuit settlement agreement. This position collaborates with the Foster Care - Psychotropic Medication Oversight steering committee across Department administrations (e.g., Health Services and Permancy and Wellbeing) and makes recommendations for improving psychotropic medication oversight and physician reviews. This position also works with various teams to re-design and implement the physician review process into the currently scheduled-to-be created CCWIS program replacing the MiSACWIS program. To identify psychotropic medication regimens that require additional physician review according to policy, the Utilization Reviewer actively monitors Medicaid claims data. Cases identified are prepared and assigned by the Utilization Reviewer to the MDHHS psychiatrist performing foster care psychotropic medication physician reviews. To maintain compliance with the lawsuit settlement agreement and policy requirements, the Department relies on the medical/pharmacological expertise in this position to prioritize high-risk cases for immediate review. This position collaborates with the FC-PMOU Outreach Analyst and Data Specialist to gather data, prepare utilization reports, and then develops and disseminates procedure and technical guidance information to MDHHS external customers/stakeholders as a result of the cases that have required Physician Review and follow-up.
