6 blue Cross Community Centennial Network blue Cross Community Centennial is a Medicaid Managed Care plan that focuses on breaking down the financial, cultural, and linguistic barriers preventing low-income families and individuals from accessing health care.

7 blue Cross Community Centennial plan Program Overview Page S4 December 2018 Program Overview blue Cross Community Centennial plan Overview Centennial Care is the modernization of the New Mexico Medicaid managed care program as developed by New Mexico (HSD) under an 1115 waiver application to Centers for Medicaid & Medicare services (CMS). Under blue Cross Community Centennial , BCBSNM will provide a seamless program for Medicaid-eligible individuals to meet their health care needs across the full array of Medicaid services , including acute and long-term care, behavioral health care, and home and Community based services (HCBS).

8 A fundamental focus of the blue Cross Community Centennial plan will be to identify members at highest risk of poor health outcomes, using a person-centered approach, developing personalized plans, and providing appropriate access to covered services . This integrated care approach focuses on health literacy, utilization of Community supports and resources to assist members in navigating the health care system, comprehensive care coordination, patient-centered medical homes, and the continuous development of health homes.

9 This infrastructure will help to provide members access to the care they may need in a timely manner while enabling increased quality and better health outcomes. For new members to the BCBSNM Medicaid program or for existing members who may have encountered a health change status, BCBSNM makes reasonable efforts to contact these members to offer a Health Risk Assessment (HRA) or a Comprehensive Needs Assessment (CNA). The HRA screens for physical health, behavioral health, and long-term health care needs and can determine if a member requires a face-to-face CNA.

10 The CNA further informs BCBSNM of the needs and service gaps of the member and allows BCBSNM to assist the member to address these needs. These assessments will determine if the member will be assigned to a BCBSNM Care Coordination level two (2) or level three (3). A Care Coordinator will use the information collected during the CNA process to develop a care plan . The Care Coordinator will seek input from providers during the needs assessment process in order to develop a care plan that is comprehensive.
