New Morris County Pilot Program Will Reduce Medicaid Wait Time

New Morris County Pilot Program Will Reduce Medicaid Wait Time

Morris County has initiated a new state-approved and state-financed pilot program for Medicaid that will employ an outside contractor, Xerox Corp., to process tens of thousands of Medicaid eligibility determinations annually, which should reduce case backlogs and result in more timely decisions, without adding new full-time staff to the county’s payroll.

The County Department of Human Services recently finalized a Memorandum of Understanding with the state Department of Human Services to shift the processing of Medicaid eligibility determinations from the County Welfare Office to Xerox, which is the state’s Health Benefits Coordinator.

However, long term care and emergency applications will remain with the county. Also, county employees will continue to assist clients to apply for Medicaid on-line using the NJ FamilyCare application that will be sent directly to Xerox for processing.

The transfer of Medicaid determinations will free up county Human Services employees to provide additional support in other benefit programs, such as Temporary Assistance for Needy Families, General Assistance and Supplemental Nutritional Assistance.

“This pilot program will have a positive impact on our community, reducing the backlogs and wait times, better serving individuals, families, seniors, people with disabilities and veterans, while also benefitting the taxpayers of Morris County,” said Freeholder Hank Lyon, who is the county governing board’s liaison on Human Services issues.

“For the past several years, the economic climate has been fraught with challenges for government, particularly for the Human Services system,’’ said Morris County Director of Human Services Jennifer Carpinteri. “With the implementation of Medicaid expansion and changes in various funding streams that support some of our most critical services, we must look at our infrastructure to find efficiencies while continuing to provide high quality services.”

“This pilot program will have a positive impact on our community, reducing the backlogs and wait times, better serving individuals, families, seniors, people with disabilities and veterans,” said Freeholder Hank Lyon, who is the county governing board’s liaison on Human Services issues.

The goals of the Morris County pilot project are to improve timely and appropriate eligibility determinations and improve customer experience:

All new and re-determination community Medicaid cases in Morris County would be shifted to Xerox. As of October 15, there were 33,253 Medicaid cases in Morris County in 2015.

New Morris County applicants would be directed to apply online by clicking here. Online applications would be routed electronically to the Health Benefits Coordinator’s state-approved system, which would assume responsibility for the case with state oversight.

Morris County will maintain eligibility determination responsibility for all new and existing long-term care, aged, blind and disabled, and medical emergency cases.

MORRIS COUNTY — Some Morris County staff will be re-assigned to provide additional workers in other units to reduce backlogs and help meet compliance and timelines issues in other benefit programs.

This pilot will allow the county to ensure federal compliance without hiring additional staff.

As a result of Medicaid expansion in 2014, county caseloads increased by more than 50 percent statewide, including in Morris County. County welfare agencies struggled to keep pace with increased volume. It resulted in significant backlogs in Morris County.

To reduce the strain, the state shifted pending cases and new online applications to Xerox. While this action helped a bit, Morris County still was unable to keep pace with the need for public assistance. The new pilot project is expected to make a major difference.

“This “out-of-the-box” business model will be the first of its kind in New Jersey, and the state and county are equally motivated to explore this pilot together,” said Valerie Harr, Director of the Department of Human Services’ Division of Medical Assistance and Health Services, which administers Medicaid.

“Partnering with the state is advantageous to both the state and Morris County,” she added.

To further explore efficiencies, Morris County will partner with community providers to assist clients is applying for Medicaid online, with applications sent directly to Xerox for processing. This is an opportunity to potentially save transportation costs and overtime costs, while fostering a client-friendly approach to accessing services.

Valori appointed to Morris County Park Commission

PARSIPPANY — During last Wednesday’s freeholder meeting, Freeholders John Krickus Hank Lyon, Thomas J. Mastrangelo and David Scapicchio voted in favor of Resolution No. 24 to appoint Dr. Louis Valori, Parsippany, to the Park Commission to fill the unexpired five-year term of Judith Schleicher, which ends December 31, 2017. Schleicher stepped down earlier this year because she was moving out-of-state.

Freeholders John Cesaro and Doug Cabana abstained, since they work for the Township of Parsippany-Troy Hills, where Dr. Louis Valori is a councilman. Cabana serves as municipal prosecutor and Cesaro serves as municipal public defender.

Freeholder Director Kathryn A. DeFillippo expressed full opposition to opening up seats on the commission to politicians. She believes Valori is a qualified candidate but she does not want to see the position politicized and wants to give citizens the volunteer opportunity.

The appointment to the Commission is a non-paid position.

The Morris County Park Commission is the largest county park system in New Jersey based on acreage with over 18,730 acres of parkland including 38 facilities: historic sites, golf courses, outdoor educational and recreational facilities, arboretum, conservation areas, 150 miles of trails, ice skating arena, and an artificial turf field complex with two inline hockey rinks.

Last year more than 3.5 million visit the parks. The parks offer award-winning programs, special events, and activities for all ages.

The Morris County Park Commission has a staff includes 156 full-time, 149 seasonal and part-time employees and hundreds of volunteers contribute more than 13,000 hours annually.

Christie Administration Proposes Overhaul to Water Quality Management Rule

Christie Administration Proposes Overhaul to Water Quality Management Rule

Department of EnvironmentMORRIS COUNTY — The Christie Administration today proposed a significant overhaul to the state’s Water Quality Management Planning (WQMP) rule that will provide county and local planning agencies with flexibility to maintain high standards of environmental protection while balancing opportunities for economic growth, N.J. Department of Environmental Protection Commissioner Bob Martin announced today.

The Water Quality Management Planning rule requires local planning agencies to identify areas suitable for wastewater infrastructure based upon the ecological capacity of water bodies to accept future wastewater, as well as other environmental factors.
The proposed WQMP rule, published in the New Jersey Register, will give county and local planning agencies more flexibility in making land-use decisions and evaluating environmental impacts when mapping areas suitable for wastewater infrastructure.
It also will eliminate duplication of overlapping DEP regulatory requirements to provide for greater consistency and clarity as plans are developed.

There will be three public hearings, including a November 10 hearing at the Frelinghuysen Arboretum–Haggerty Center– in Morris Township.

“These revisions are consistent with the Governor’s goals of reducing unnecessary red tape while maintaining the high standards of environmental protection New Jersey residents expect,” Commissioner Martin said.
DEP Commissioner Bob Martin
DEP Commissioner Bob Martin

“Through these rule changes, the DEP is adopting an approach to water quality protection that recognizes that sound planning can and does occur at the local level. We will foster better planning by providing county and local planners with the flexibility to consider a range of options to address issues and solve problems.”

Specifically the proposed rule will: 

  • Provide for comprehensive planning of water quality infrastructure to better protect the environment in the long term;
  •  Limit where sewers can be located, thus allowing denser development only in those areas that are not environmentally sensitive and where it is consistent with local zoning;
  •  Protect groundwater quality by setting goals for nitrate dilution from septic systems;
  •  Allow counties and other planning entities more flexibility in preparing water quality plans;
  •  Promote more cooperation between the DEP and counties in finding solutions to environmental issues;
  •  Allow for the continuation of approvals of sewer service area amendments consistent with environmental standards and local planning objectives;
  •  Defer to management plans for the Pinelands and Highlands concerning development decisions in those regions; and
  •  Enhance the DEP’s ability to resolve capacity issues at wastewater treatment plants.
County and local planning agencies will have a year following final adoption of the rule to adopt wastewater management plans. At its discretion, the DEP may choose to develop plans for any agencies that do not meet this deadline.
“Through these changes, the DEP will be able to work collaboratively – not as adversaries – with county and local planning agencies, who know their communities best, to achieve the shared goal of sound planning policies that protect the ecologically sensitive areas that ought to be protected and direct development to where it is appropriate,” said Dan Kennedy, DEP’s Assistant Commissioner for Water Resources Management.
The DEP is concurrently proposing a related Capacity Assurance Program (CAP) rule to ensure that wastewater treatment systems avoid overloads that could result in discharges that don’t meet water quality requirements.

While the WQMP rule takes a longer-term look at future circumstances and development, the CAP rule focuses on the near-term implementation of capital improvements or other measures to handle today’s flows.

The DEP has been meeting with stakeholders since 2012 to identify and correct numerous problems with the existing Water Quality Management Planning Rule, adopted by a previous administration in 2008.

Many counties were unable to complete a requirement that they prepare extremely detailed wastewater management plans, which include detailed projections of growth and sewer capacity, in part because this required zoning impacts that could only be decided at the municipal level. This hampered the adoption of sewer service area mapping that is essential to sound planning and environmental protection.

This rule also was extremely complex, overly broad, lacked flexibility, was duplicative of existing planning requirements, and deterred economic growth in areas where development is appropriate.

Despite additional guidance and time provided by both the Legislature and DEP, county planning agencies were having an extremely difficult time meeting deadlines and complying with the rule. The current rule proposal has been deemed consistent with the goals of the State Development and Redevelopment Plan by the State Smart Growth Ombudsman.

Daiichi Sankyo to cut up to 1200 jobs, primarily in Parsippany

PARSIPPANY — Daiichi Sankyo, Inc. announced today that it will reorganize its U.S. Commercial organization as it begins to transition from a maturing primary care product portfolio to a differentiated specialty portfolio that will include areas such as cardiovascular, pain management and oncology. Daiichi Sankyo is located at Two Hilton Court.

“As we face the loss of exclusivity in the coming year of our largest product, we also look ahead to great opportunities with our emerging portfolio in cardiology, oncology, fibromyalgia and pain relief,” said Ken Keller, President, U.S. Commercial, Daiichi Sankyo, Inc. “This calls for us to restructure our organization into a smaller, highly targeted and efficient operating model, with a greater emphasis on customer-facing roles.”

As part of the reorganization, the Company will reduce expenses, including a reduction in headcount, from its U.S. Commercial operations. The Company expects to eliminate 1,000 to 1,200 positions across the U.S. Commercial function, through voluntary and involuntary displacements as well as eliminating open positions. The eliminated jobs will come from the U.S. Commercial Home Office, located in Parsippany, as well as field-based sales and other positions throughout the country. This reorganization is not focused on U.S.-based R&D functions, which have staff concentrated in Edison, or its packaging plant in Bethlehem, PA.

“Daiichi Sankyo recognizes the macro changes occurring in the U.S. healthcare system that place a greater emphasis on managing the needs of patients with more complex healthcare needs. As a specialty company, we will be positioned to meet those needs and invest in advancing technologies that will make a significant difference in patient lives,” said Keller. “While this initiative will place us on the path toward long-term success, it does require us to make some difficult decisions. We are grateful for the contributions of all of our employees and are committed to making this process as easy and streamlined as possible for them through outplacement services and other support.”
