Here is today’s Monday Mailer for you:

Virginia No Wrong Door Summit

Last week, the No Wrong Door Resource Center designed and facilitated an interactive closing plenary for Virginia's aging and disability No Wrong Door Summit. We loved seeing the energized room and experiencing the real conversations!

With increased demand and shrinking budgets, breaking down silos matters more than ever. So, we flipped the script on the traditional plenary! No Wrong Door aging and disability partner agencies from across the state spent the session engaging in conversation about their experiences and left with concrete action plans for continuing to break down barriers. Virginia has been at this for a while and recognizes the work is never fully finished. We are excited to see their next iteration!

NWD Organizations Are Getting Paid for Care Transitions. Here’s How.

Because hospitals and health plans increasingly recognize their value as the bridge between clinical care and community supports, No Wrong Door organizations including aging and disability resource centers, area agencies on aging, centers for independent living, and community care hubs are uniquely positioned to pursue care transitions funding. The funding landscape has expanded significantly, with multiple pathways available:

• Fee-for-service contracts with hospitals or health systems
• Health plan partnerships [Medicare Advantage, Medicaid managed care, Dual Eligible Special Needs Plans (D-SNPs)]
• Arrangements with Medicare Part B providers billing Transitional Care Management (TCM), Chronic Care Management (CCM), Community Health Integration (CHI), or Principal Illness Navigation (PIN) codes

Indiana's ADRCs offer a compelling proof point. Through an ACL No Wrong Door Business Case grant, care transition coaches achieved a 43% reduction in 30-day hospital readmission rates; results that opened doors to new hospital contracts and D-SNP partnerships statewide. Explore Indiana's hospital pitch deck  and other state examples via the TA Community Care Transitions Spotlights. To learn more about how community-based organizations can leverage TCM, CCM, CHI, and PIN billing codes, see this resource on TCM and CCM billing codes on the TA Community Care Transitions Resource page.
