  • Should North Carolina operate its Medicaid oral health program as fee-for-service or transition to managed care?

    Should North Carolina operate its Medicaid oral health program as fee-for-service or transition to managed care?

    By Anne Blythe

    As lawmakers ponder whether to expand Medicaid to add some 600,000 more people to the rolls, the North Carolina Oral Health Collaborative is looking at a different aspect of the federal- and state-sponsored insurance program.

    Nearly a year ago, North Carolina transformed its Medicaid program from a fee-for-service-based plan to a system managed by private insurers.

    The oral health portion of the program, however, was not part of the Medicaid transformation. It is still managed by the state.

    Zachary Brian, director of the North Carolina Oral Health Collaborative and vice president of impact, strategy and programs at the Foundation for Health Leadership and Innovation, said recently in a telephone interview that his organization has partnered with the North Carolina Institute of Medicine and The Duke Endowment to launch the Oral Health Transformation Initiative. (Disclosure: The Duke Endowment is a NC Health News sponsor).

    In July, a task force with members from diverse vantages in oral health care delivery will begin a year-long process in which members consider whether oral health care provided through Medicaid should remain a fee-for-service program or be overseen by private insurers.

    “The traditional fee-for-service payment system incentivizes costly, more invasive procedures,” Brian contended while announcing the joint initiative.

    “Nationally, we see a movement in remodeling our health care delivery system in many ways,” Michelle Ries, associate director of the North Carolina Institute of Medicine, added in the same video announcing the initiative. “As North Carolina has moved to managed care for primary health care and behavioral health services, we believe we owe it to the consumer and provider communities to thoroughly look at the current landscape for oral health and make recommendations based on an analysis of what other states are doing and lessons learned from the rollout of Medicaid managed care so far in North Carolina.”

    Whole-body care

    For too long, many public health advocates say, oral health care has been in a silo, of sorts, the mouth separated from the body. This is increasingly out of step with the systemic “whole-body” approach being advocated for more recently.

    A look into someone’s mouth can reveal evidence of heart disease, cancer, autoimmune syndromes, viruses, diabetes and gastrointestinal problems.

    Public health advocates say that integrating oral health care with primary care could not only make many communities and populations healthier but also reduce costs. People who do not have routine access to dental care often end up in emergency rooms with toothaches or infections in the oral cavity. Those visits can be far more costly for the patient, the provider and the insurer.

    Many communities in North Carolina face challenges accessing “optimal oral health care,” according to the Oral Health Collaborative.

    Four counties in North Carolina do not have a regularly practicing dentist, according to data collected from 2020 by the Cecil G. Sheps Center for Health Services Research. They’re in the northeastern tip of the state — Camden, Gates, Hyde and Tyrrell counties.

    Will more dentists participate?

    The collaborative says roughly 35 percent of the dentists in North Carolina participate in Medicaid or the Children’s Health Insurance Program, or CHIP as it’s often called.

    Dave Richard, head of Medicaid at the state Department of Health and Human Services, said his office puts that number closer to 40 percent. 

    Nonetheless, that number can pose a challenge for children and adults in need of care, often in the state’s rural reaches, public health care advocates note. Only 18 percent of adult Medicaid recipients in North Carolina use the dental care option, according to the collaborative’s statistics.

    Richard said that in 2021, the state’s fee-for-service Medicaid oral health program paid $24 million in claims for children in the CHIP program. The program paid $300 million for children ages 6 to 20 in the Medicaid program, and $104 million for adults 21 and older.

    Richard took no stance on whether it would be better to shift the oral health program to managed care or keep it as a fee-for-service program.

    Instead, he posed several questions.

    “What value add would you bring if you move to managed care?” Richard asked. He also wondered whether the state would lose or gain more dentists through such a shift.

    That’s what the task force plans to study over the next year with hopes of delivering a report and potential series of recommendations for a reimagined oral health care system. Their goal is to get something that policymakers and lawmakers can have to review in time to decide whether the state should make the shift before the next contracts are negotiated in 2024.

    “So often we don’t have the opportunity to really slow down and take a year, 18 months and dig in and engage with other states and engage with experts and really bring people to the table,” Stacy Warren, program officer for The Duke Endowment, said when the initiative was announced. 

    “We can’t just fund a lot of programs,” she said, although she said that’s actually happening. “We fund school-based oral health programs. We fund medical-dental integration programs, but what we’ve learned and the North Carolina Oral Health Collaborative has certainly helped teach us this over the years, is that these programs can’t exist successfully in isolation of true systems change.”

  • Custom program increases healthy eating for families with Mexican roots

    Custom program increases healthy eating for families with Mexican roots

    New exploration demonstrates that kids with Mexican roots eaten less sugary beverages, French fries, and speedy food and ate additional veggies just after collaborating in Abriendo Caminos, a culturally-tailored schooling application with their family members.

    Abriendo Caminos (Opening Roadways), aims to support Hispanic family members guide more healthy life by weaving traditions and private values into classes on nutrition, physical action, and household wellness.

    “A expressing promoted all through the workshop series was ‘mas o menos.’ We can do a minimal much more of this and a tiny considerably less of that to stay a more healthy life-style,” states Kimberly Greder, a professor of human improvement and household research at Iowa State University and a Human Sciences State Extension professional.

    Greder, coauthor of the paper in the International Journal of Environmental Exploration and Community Health, and colleagues, tested the efficacy of the Abriendo Caminos curriculum throughout 2017-2018.

    The scientists say their conclusions insert to a rising entire body of proof that the program is an efficient health and fitness intervention and really should be scaled up.

    Approximately 400 Hispanic family members from Iowa, Illinois, California, and Texas participated in the randomized managed demo in between 2015 and 2019. Half were assigned to Abriendo Caminos the other half (the regulate team) obtained handouts about diet and physical exercise in Spanish but no in-particular person instructional programming.

    Employing questionnaires accessible in Spanish and English, mother and father documented how typically their young children (ages 6-18) eaten eight merchandise each week: sugar-sweetened beverages 100{fe463f59fb70c5c01486843be1d66c13e664ed3ae921464fa884afebcc0ffe6c} fruit juice fruit French fries veggies (other than fried potatoes) rapid meals sweets (candy, ice cream, cookies, cake) and salty treats (chips, crackers, pretzels).

    “While we uncovered some dietary enhancements with equally groups, the modifications in diminished frequency of sugar-sweetened drinks, French fries, and quickly food stuff and enhanced vegetable usage have been much more substantial for youth who participated in the academic intervention, Abriendo Caminos, in contrast to youth whose households just been given the printed substance,” Greder says.

    Nourishment, work out, relatives time

    Abriendo Caminos was produced to deal with disproportionately higher costs of being overweight among the Hispanic small children in the US, Greder claims. Expanding proof implies applications that involve mothers and fathers and little ones discovering jointly about healthier lifestyles may perhaps have higher prolonged-phrase impacts.

    “Our lifestyles are affected by other persons in our homes. Their behaviors, tastes, pressure, and schedules can all affect what we eat, our snooze and exercise concentrations, and parents most frequently are the gatekeepers to meals and how their kids expend their time,” suggests Greder.

    Each individual session of the Abriendo Caminos workshop features a few components: diet, bodily activity, and spouse and children time.

    Right after households share a food with each other, the dad and mom and youth break up into two groups to understand how foods and drinks have an effect on the human entire body, limitations to generating more healthy dietary possibilities, and approaches to make real looking variations. The classes for youth also include meals demonstrations and tastings (e.g., trying jicama ready simple, with lime juice, or chili powder and picking which is their favourite).

    Moms and dads and youth then reconvene and do physical activities with each other as a family members, which are supposed to be pleasurable and easily replicable at home. These functions include things like dancing with Hula-Hoops, Zumba, skipping, and stretching with TheraBands.

    Speaking about wellness

    Relatives time focuses on interaction all-around food and overall health. Part of that incorporates mapping out how customers of the domestic commit time each individual working day and seeking to recognize how they can make smaller variations to their routines to do the job towards objectives they determined before in the plan associated to residing healthier existence.

    For some households, it may well be identifying duties they can do before they go to bed, so they aren’t as rushed in the morning (e.g., placing out apparel to have on the up coming working day, making ready packed lunches). For other individuals, it may well be pinpointing a consistent time each day for the household to perform a video game or do actual physical activity alongside one another.

    “To make actions variations, many moments we have to converse about what’s significant to us and what influences our choices. So, if you can have these conversations collectively, you can fully grasp just about every other a bit greater and make targets collectively as a family,” says Greder.

    She gave the example of beans, a staple in many Hispanic homes that’s also nutrient-dense, small in unwanted fat, and superior in fiber. Some little ones may possibly be fatigued of having them and have difficulties comprehension why their dad and mom never get them to McDonald’s every single evening for meal.

    “Food is a way to pass on traditions and society in a family members. Talking about foods and the exclusive meanings they have in families will help youngsters recognize why their mother and father benefit some meals and prepare them in sure approaches and may possibly learn to price and get pleasure from them, as well.”

    Quite a few moms and dads who participate in Abriendo Caminos do the job several work opportunities or lengthy hrs that slice into consuming jointly as a loved ones, Greder suggests. The weekly workshops are held at a time most convenient for households and generate a house for moms and dads and grandparents who go to to move on their society as a result of food items, shell out time with their young children and learn how to make tiny variations as a family members that can have prolonged-expression well being positive aspects.
