History and Structure of Cenpatico
Cenpatico is a wholly-owned subsidiary of CenCorp Health Solutions, Inc. (CenCorp). CenCorp is
a wholly-owned subsidiary of Centene Corporation (Centene). Sunflower Health Plan
(http://www.sunflowerstatehealth.com), a Centene health plan, delegates the provision of
covered behavioral health and substance use disorder services to Cenpatico.
Cenpatico has provided comprehensive managed behavioral healthcare services for more than
eleven (11) years, and currently operates in Arizona, California, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana,
Kansas, Massachusetts, Mississippi, Missouri, New Hampshire, Ohio, South Carolina, Texas,
Washington and Wisconsin. As an integral part of our core philosophy we believe quality
behavioral healthcare is best delivered locally. Cenpatico is a clinically driven organization that
is committed to building collaborative partnerships with Providers.
Cenpatico defines "behavioral health” as inclusive of acute and chronic psychiatric and
substance use disorders as referenced in the most recent International Statistical Classification of
Diseases and Related Health Problems (ICD-9). Cenpatico provides quality, cost effective
behavioral healthcare services for Members of Sunflower Health Plan through a comprehensive
Provider Network of qualified behavioral health Providers.
An experienced Provider Network is essential to provide consistent, superior services to our
Members. To achieve our goals, Cenpatico builds strong, long-term relationships with our
Provider Network. This Provider Manual was designed to assist you with the administrative and
clinical activities required for participation in our system. Cenpatico prefers and encourages a
partner relationship with our Provider Network. Member care is a collaborative effort that draws
on the expertise and professionalism of all involved.
Managed Care Philosophy
Cenpatico is strongly committed to the philosophy of providing appropriate treatment at the
least restrictive level of care that meets the Member’s needs.
We believe careful case-by-case consideration and evaluation of each Member’s treatment
needs are required for optimal medical necessity determinations. We believe Members need to
be fully involved in their care and participate in decisions regarding treatment needs.
Outpatient treatment is generally considered the first choice treatment approach, with the
exception of when medical necessity is met for a higher level of care. Many factors support
this position:

Outpatient treatment allows the Member to maximize existing social strengths and
supports, while receiving treatment in the setting least disruptive to normal
everyday life.

Outpatient treatment maximizes the potential of influences that may contribute to
treatment motivation, including family, social, and occupational networks.

Allowing a Member to continue in occupational, scholastic, and/or social activities
increases the potential for confidentiality of treatment and its privacy. Friends and
associates need not know of the Member’s treatment unless the Member chooses to tell
them.

Outpatient treatment encourages the Member to work on current individual, family, and
job-related issues while treatment is ongoing. Problems can be examined as they occur
and immediate feedback can be provided. Successes can strengthen the member’s
confidence so that incremental changes can occur in treatment.


The use of appropriate outpatient treatment helps the Member preserve available
benefits for potential future use. Benefits are maximized for the Member’s healthcare
needs.
At Cenpatico, we take privacy and confidentiality seriously. We have processes and policies
and procedures in place to comply with applicable Federal and State regulatory requirements.
We appreciate your partnership with Cenpatico in maintaining the highest quality and most
appropriate level of care for Sunflower Health Plan Members.

*This list may not be inclusive of all accrediting organizations
For those organizations that are not accredited, an on-site evaluation will be scheduled to
review the scope of services available at the facility, physical plant safety, the Quality
Improvement program, and Credentialing and Re-credentialing Policies and Procedures.
Cenpatico may substitute a Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) or State review
in lieu of the site visit. Cenpatico would require the report from the organization to verify that
the review has been performed and the report meets its standards. Also acceptable is a letter
from CMS or the applicable State agency which shows that the facility was reviewed and
indicates that it passed inspection.
Re-Credentialing Requirements and Schedule
Kansas Network Providers will be re-credentialed every 36 months from the initial credentialing
date in accordance with the current NCQA guidelines, unless otherwise dictated by State law.
Providers will receive notice that they are due to be re-credentialed well in advance of their
expiration date and, as such, are expected to submit their updated information in a timely
fashion. Failure to do so could result in suspension and/or termination from the Network.
Quality indicators including but not limited to, complaints, appointment availability, critical
incidents, and compliance with discharge appointment reporting will be taken into consideration
during the re-credentialing process.
Cenpatico will verify the following information submitted for Credentialing and/or
Re-Credentialing:

License through appropriate licensing agency;

Board certification, or residency training, or medical education;

National Practitioner Data Bank (NPDB) and HIPDB claims;

Five years of work history; and

Sanction or exclusion activity including Medicare/Medicaid services (OIG-Office of
Inspector General and EPLS – Excluded Parties Listing).
Once the application is completed, the Cenpatico Credentialing Committee will render a final
decision on acceptance following its next regularly scheduled meeting.

Right to Review and Correct Information
All Network Providers participating with Cenpatico have the right to review information obtained
by Cenpatico to evaluate their credentialing and/or re-credentialing application. This includes
information obtained from any outside primary source such as malpractice insurance carriers and
the licensing/certification agencies. This does not allow a provider to review references, personal
recommendations or other information that is peer review protected.
Should a Provider believe any of the information used in the credentialing/re-credentialing
process is erroneous, or should any information gathered as part of the primary source
verification process differ from that submitted, Providers have the right to correct any erroneous
information submitted by another party. To request release of such information, a written request
must be submitted to the Credentialing Department. Upon receipt of this information, the
Provider will have fourteen (14) days to provide a written explanation detailing the error or the
difference in information to Cenpatico. The Cenpatico Credentialing Committee will then
include this information as part of the credentialing/re-credentialing process.
Cenpatico Credentialing Policies and Procedures

Cenpatico fully recognizes that a change in a Network Provider’s participation status is
difficult for Members. Cenpatico will work closely with the terminating Network Provider
to address the Member’s needs and ensure a smooth transition as necessary. A Network
Provider who terminates the contract with Cenpatico must notify all Cenpatico Members
who are currently in care at the time and who have been in care with that Network
Provider during the previous six (6) months. Treatment with these Members must be
completed or transferred to another Cenpatico Network Provider within three (3) months
of the notice of termination, unless otherwise mandated by State law. The Network
Provider needs to work with the Cenpatico Care Management Department to determine
which Members might be transferred, and, which Members meet Continuity of Care
Guidelines to remain in treatment.
Cenpatico’s Right to Terminate
Please refer to your Provider Agreement with Cenpatico for a full disclosure of causes for
termination. As stated in your Provider Agreement, Cenpatico shall have the right to
terminate the Provider Agreement by giving written notice to the Network Provider upon the
occurrence of any of the following events:

Termination of Cenpatico’s obligation to provide or arrange behavioral health/
substance use disorder treatment services for Members of Sunflower Health Plan, or
any other health plan or agency in the State of Kansas with which Cenpatico is the

Network Provider Appeal of Suspension or Termination of Contract Privileges
If a Network Provider has been suspended or terminated by Cenpatico, contact the Cenpatico
Provider Data Management department at 866-896-7293 to request further information or
discuss how to appeal the decision.
For a formal appeal of the suspension or termination of contract privileges, the Network Provider
should send a written reconsideration request to Cenpatico to the attention of the Quality
Improvement Department:
Cenpatico
Attn: Quality Improvement Department
12515-8 Research Blvd.
Suite 400
Austin, TX 78759
Please note that the written request should describe the reason(s) for requesting reconsideration
and include any supporting documents. This reconsideration request must be postmarked
within thirty (30) days from the receipt of the suspension or termination letter to comply with the
appeal process.
Cenpatico will use the Provider Dispute Policy to govern its actions. Details of the Provider
Dispute Policy will be provided to the Network Provider with the notification of suspension/
termination. To request a copy of Cenpatico’s Provider Dispute Policy, please contact the
Quality Improvement Department at 866-896-7293.
Each Network Provider will be provided with a copy of their fully-executed Provider Agreement
with Cenpatico. The Provider Agreement will indicate the Network Provider’s Effective Date in
the network and the Initial Term and Renewal Term provisions in Cenpatico’s Provider Network.
The Provider Agreement will also indicate the cancellation/ termination policies. There is no
“right to appeal” when either party chooses not to renew the Provider Agreement.
Cultural Competency
Cultural Competency within the Cenpatico Network is defined as described below:
“Davis (1997) defines cultural competence as the integration and transformation of knowledge,
information, and data about individuals and groups of people into specific clinical standards,
skills, service approaches, techniques, and marketing programs that match the individual's
culture and increase the quality and appropriateness of behavioral health care and outcomes.
20
Cenpatico Provider Manual
www.cenpatico.com
Call us toll free: 866-896-7293
Cultural competence occurs in behavioral health service delivery when cultural issues are
acknowledged and addressed at all levels of an organization administration, service delivery,
and clinician.”
Cenpatico is committed to the development, strengthening, and sustaining of healthy Provider/
Member relationships. Members are entitled to dignified, appropriate and quality care. When
healthcare services are delivered without regard for cultural differences, Members are at risk for
sub-optimal care. Members may be unable or unwilling to communicate their healthcare needs
in an insensitive environment, reducing effectiveness of the entire healthcare process.
The Cenpatico vision for culturally competent care is:
 Care is given with the understanding of, and respect for, the Member’s health-related
beliefs and cultural values.
 Cenpatico staff respect health related beliefs, interpersonal communication styles and
attitude of the Members, families and communities they serve.
 Each functional unit within the organization applies a trained, tailored approach to
culturally sensitive care in all Member communications and interactions.
 All Cenpatico Network Providers support and implement culturally sensitive care models to
Sunflower Health Plan Members.
The Cenpatico goal for culturally sensitive care is:
 To support the creation of a culturally sensitive behavioral health system of care that
embraces and supports individual differences to achieve the best possible outcomes for
individuals receiving services.
Network Providers must ensure the following:
 Members understand that they have access to medical interpreters, signers, and TTY
services to facilitate communication without cost to them.
 Care is provided with consideration of the Members’ race/ ethnicity and language and its
impact/ influence on the Members’ health or illness.
 Office staff that routinely come in contact with Members have access to and participate
in cultural competency training and development.
 The office staff responsible for data collection makes reasonable attempts to collect race
and language specific Member information.
 Treatment plans are developed and clinical guidelines are followed with consideration of
the Member’s race, country of origin, native language, social class, religion, mental or
physical abilities, heritage, acculturation, age, gender, sexual orientation and other
characteristics that may result in a different perspective or decision-making process.
 Office sites have posted and printed materials in English, Spanish, or other prevailing
languages within the region.
Understanding the Need for Culturally Competent Services:
Research indicates that a person has better health outcomes when they experience culturally
appropriate interactions with Providers. The path to developing cultural competency begins with
self-awareness and ends with the realization and acceptance that the goal of cultural
competency is an ongoing process. Network Providers should note that the experience of a
Member begins at the front door.

Failure to use culturally competent and linguistically competent practices could result in the
following:
 Member’s feelings of being insulted or treated rudely;
 Member’s reluctance and fear of making future contact with the Network Provider’s
office;
 Member’s confusion and misunderstanding;
 Non-compliance by the Member;
 Member’s feelings of being uncared for, looked down upon and devalued;
 Parents’ resistance to seek help for their children;
 Unfilled prescriptions;
 Missed appointments;
 Network Provider’s misdiagnosis due to lack of information sharing;
 Wasted time for the Member and Network Provider; and/or
 Increased grievances or complaints.
The road to developing a culturally competent practice begins with the recognition and
acceptance of the value of meeting the needs of your patients. Cenpatico is committed to
helping you reach this goal.
Take the following into consideration when you provide services to Members:
 What are your own cultural values and identity?
 How do/can cultural differences impact your relationship with your patients?
 How much do you know about your patient’s culture and language?
 Does your understanding of culture take into consideration values, communication styles,
spirituality, language ability, literacy, and family definitions?
Facts about Health Disparities

Government-funded insurance consumers face many barriers to receiving timely care.

Households headed by Hispanics are more likely to report difficulty in obtaining
care.

Consumers are more likely to experience long wait times to see healthcare
providers.

African American Medicaid consumers experience longer waits in emergency
departments and are more likely to leave without being seen.

Consumers are less likely to receive timely prenatal care, more likely to have low
birth weight babies and have higher infant and maternal mortality.

Consumers that are children are less likely to receive childhood
immunizations.

Patient race, ethnicity, and socioeconomic status are important indicators of the
effectiveness of healthcare.

Health disparities come at a personal and societal price.

provider who can meet the access standards and Member’s needs.
Network Providers shall ensure that services provided are available on a basis of twenty-four (24)
hours a day, seven (7) days a week, 365 days a year as the nature of the Member’s behavioral
health condition dictates. These services include all covered behavioral health services provided
by Cenpatico’s Network Providers that are congruent with the Member’s treatment plan and
presenting behavioral health issues. Network Providers will offer hours of operation that are no less
than the hours of operation offered to commercial insurance members and shall ensure Members
with disabilities are afforded access to care by ensuring physical and communication barriers do
not inhibit Members from accessing services.
Network Providers should call the Cenpatico Provider Relations department at 866-944-7588 if
they are unable to meet these access standards on a regular basis. Please note that the
repeated inability to accept new Members or meet the access standards can result in
suspension and/or termination from the network. All changes in a Network Provider’s status will
be considered in the re- credentialing process.

Cenpatico Access Standards
Cenpatico ensures network adequacy and promotes quality of care and service to Members in
part, by establishing, implementing, and evaluating standards for Member geographic access
to Network Provider and facility services. Cenpatico will strive to meet the following accessibility
requirements:

For all behavioral health services, including substance use disorder services,
members will travel no more than 30 miles for urban areas, 45 miles for densely settled
rural areas and 60 miles for rural and frontier areas.
Exceptions to these standards will be in the western and southwestern regions of Kansas, where
health care providers and services are scarce overall, and travel distance standards would
default to the closest available providers or community standards.
After Hours Access Standards
Network Providers must have coverage for their practice twenty-four (24) hours per day, seven (7)
days per week, 365 days a year. This type of coverage may include a published after hours
telephone number, pager, or answering service. Members must be given instructions for what to
do and whom they can call after hours; voicemail alone after hours is not acceptable.
No Show Appointments
A “no show” is defined as a failure to appear for a scheduled appointment without notification
to the Provider with at least twenty-four (24) hours advance notice. No show appointments
must be recorded in the Member record.
A “no show” appointment may never be applied against a Member’s benefit maximum.
Sunflower State Health Plan Members may not be charged a fee for a “no show” appointment.
Network Providers may contact Cenpatico via email or telephone to inform Cenpatico about
Members who do not keep appointments. Cenpatico Care Coordinators will contact the
Member to reinforce the importance of attending appointments; assess and help address
barriers such as transportation; and assist in rescheduling if needed.

No New Referral Periods
Network Providers are required to notify Cenpatico when they are not available for
appointments. Network Providers may place themselves in a “no referral” hold status for a set
period of time without jeopardizing their overall network status. “No referral” is set up for
Network for the following reasons:
 Vacation

Full practice

Personal leave

Other personal reasons
Network Providers must call or write to the Cenpatico Provider Relations department to set up
a “no referral” period. The Cenpatico Provider Relations department can be reached as
follows:
Fax: 866-263-6521
Email: providerrelationsks@cenpatico.com
Network Providers must have a start date and an end date indicating when they will be available
again for referrals. A “no referral” period will end automatically on the set end date.
Coordination between Sunflower Health Plan and Cenpatico
Sunflower Health Plan and Cenpatico work together to assure quality behavioral health services,
including substance use disorder services, are provided to all Members. This coordination
includes participation in Quality Improvement (QI) activities for both organizations and planned
focus studies conducted conjointly for physical and behavioral healthcare services.
In addition, Cenpatico works to educate and assist physical health and behavioral health
providers in the appropriate exchange of medical information. Behavioral health utilization
reporting is prepared and provided to Sunflower Health Plan on a monthly basis and is shared
with Sunflower Health Plan’s management and executive leadership quarterly. Provider
performance is compared to state and national performance thresholds and benchmarks to
assess for over and underutilization of services, quality of service provision, and areas for
improvement. Performance on any standard that does not meet performance thresholds
and/or exhibits continued poor performance will result in a corrective action plan (CAP).
Cenpatico works with its Providers on CAP development and interim reporting to resolve
performance issues and improve Member quality of care.

Quality Improvement
Cenpatico’s Quality Improvement (QI) Program is based on the principles of Continuous
Performance Improvement (CPI) and utilizes the Plan, Do, Study Act (PDSA) model of CPI in the
development and evaluation of quality activities. All quality activities are designed to improve
the quality of care to Sunflower Health Plan Members. The QI Program is data driven and
incorporates data feeds from all Cenpatico functional units, creating a culture of quality
throughout the organization. The Cenpatico QI Program includes clinical, network, customer
service, and service utilization and provider complaints as core business metrics. Further, the
Cenpatico QI program coordinates with the Sunflower Health Plan QI program to support
continuity, coordination and improved integration of Member care.
Cenpatico is committed to providing quality care and clinically appropriate services for our
Members. In order to meet our objectives, Network Providers must participate and adhere
to our programs and guidelines.
Monitoring Clinical Quality
What does Cenpatico monitor?

Access to care standards;

Adherence to Clinical Practice Guidelines;

Communication with PCPs and other behavioral health providers;

Critical Incidents;

Quality of Care (QOC) concerns;

Member confidentiality;

High-risk Member identification, management and tracking;

Inpatient discharge follow-up care;

Inpatient admissions, readmissions and lengths of stay;

Member grievances;

Provider grievances;

Service utilization patterns;

Provider satisfaction; and,

Member satisfaction
How does Cenpatico monitor quality?
Cenpatico evaluates available administrative data (claims and service authorizations) along
with Member and Provider surveys as methods to monitor quality. Hybrid methods (those that
include administrative as well as medical record review) occur as a result of trends in critical
incidents, Provider complaints and QOCs.
28
Cenpatico Provider Manual
www.cenpatico.com
Call us toll free: 866-896-7293
Results of ongoing quality monitoring are communicated to Network Provider groups for technical
assistance and in the development of performance improvement and Corrective Action Plan
(CAPs). Trends in performance and results of CAPs are evaluated and reviewed by Cenpatico
during the re- credentialing process.
Network Provider Participation in the QI Process
Cenpatico Providers are expected to monitor and evaluate their own compliance with
performance requirements to assure the quality of care and service provided.
Providers are expected to meet Cenpatico’s performance requirements and ensure Member
treatment is efficient and effective by:
• Cooperating with medical record reviews and reviews of telephone and appointment
accessibility;
• Cooperating with Cenpatico’s complaint review process;
• Participating in Provider satisfaction surveys; and
• Cooperating with reviews of quality of care issues and critical incident reporting.
In addition, Providers are invited to participate in Cenpatico’s QI Committees and in local focus
groups.
Confidentiality and Release of Member Information
Cenpatico abides by applicable Federal and State laws which govern the use and disclosure of
behavioral health information and alcohol/ substance use disorder treatment records.
Similarly, Cenpatico Network Providers are independently obligated to comply with applicable
laws and shall hold confidential all Member records and agree to release them only when
permitted by law, including but not limited to 42 CFR et seq., when applicable.
Communication with the Primary Care Physician
Sunflower Health Plan encourages primary care physicians (PCPs) to consult with their patients’
behavioral health Network Providers. In many cases the PCP has extensive knowledge about
the Member's medical condition, mental status, psychosocial functioning, and family situation.
Communication of this information at the point of referral or during the course of treatment is
encouraged with Member consent, when required.
Network Providers should communicate not only with the Member’s PCP whenever there is a
behavioral health problem or treatment plan that can affect the Member’s medical condition
or the treatment being rendered by the PCP, but also with other behavioral health clinicians
who may also be providing service to the Member.
Network Providers are encouraged to complete a health status screen, at the initial point of
contact and as part of the re-assessment process for Members in treatment. Network Providers
must refer Members with physical health conditions (as indicated by the screen) to their primary
care provider for evaluation and treatment of the physical health condition.
Cenpatico developed a PCP Communication template that may be used by Network Providers
in coordination of care activities for a Member, if the Provider does not have an existing form.
The form is a template that incorporates key clinical information that should be shared with
each Member’s PCP. The PCP Communication template is located on our website at
29
Cenpatico Provider Manual
www.cenpatico.com
Call us toll free: 866-896-7293
www.cenpatico.com. Network Providers can identify the name and number for a Member’s
PCP on the front-side of the Member ID Card.
Network Providers should screen for the existence of co-occurring behavioral health and
substance use disorder conditions and make appropriate referrals. Network Providers should refer
Members with known or suspected untreated physical health problems or disorders to the PCP
for examination and treatment. If the Members’ assigned PCP is not local (e.g. in the event of a
RTC/PRTF facility) and the Member is in need of medical assistance, Sunflower Health Plan staff
will be able to assist the Network Provider with linking the Member to provider closer
geographically.
Cenpatico requires that Network Providers report specific clinical information to the Member's
PCP in order to preserve the continuity of the treatment process. With appropriate written
consent, when required under State and/or Federal law, it is the Network Provider's responsibility
to keep the Member's PCP abreast of the Member's treatment status and progress in a
consistent and reliable manner. If the Member requests this information not be given to their
PCP, the Network Provider must document this refusal in the Member’s treatment record. Such
consent shall meet the requirements set forth in 42 CFR et seq., when applicable. If the Member
requests this information not be given to their PCP, the Network Provider must document this
refusal in the Member’s treatment record, and if possible, the reason why. The following
information is valuable to include in the report to the PCP:

A copy of the behavioral health intake assessment;

Identified barriers to Member’s success with current treatment plan, if applicable;

The results of an initial psychiatric evaluation;

Current psychotropic medications, including initiation of and major changes in
medication regime, within fourteen (14) days of the visit or medication order;

The results of functional assessments; and

Member’s functional and clinical status upon completion of treatment.
Consent for Disclosure
Cenpatico recognizes communication as the link that unites all the service components and a
key element in any program’s success. To further this objective, Network Providers shall obtain
consent from Members or their authorized representatives when required by state and/or federal
law to exchange confidential information, including but not limited to the disclosures to behavioral
health providers and between the behavioral health provider and the Member’s physical health
provider.
Anytime consent to release information is required and the Member whose information is the
subject of the release refuses to provide consent for the release, the Network Provider shall
document the refusal along with the reasons for declination in the medical record. Cenpatico
monitors compliance by its Network Providers with medical record documentation requirements,
including but not evidence of a note in a Member’s record if he/she declined to give consent
for a release, and whether the Network Provider sends regular to the primary care provider (PCP)
or other behavioral health providers for treatment and care coordination.

Member Concerns about Network Providers
Members who have concerns about Cenpatico Network Providers should contact Sunflower
Health Plan to register their concern. All concerns are investigated, and feedback is provided
on a timely basis. It is the Network Provider’s responsibility to provide supporting
documentation to Cenpatico if requested. Any validated concern will be taken into
consideration when re-credentialing occurs, and can be cause for termination from
Cenpatico’s Provider Network. This process is referenced in your Provider Agreement with
Cenpatico. Cenpatico alerts a Network Provider through written and oral communication
when a complaint has been lodged against a Provider. Cenpatico asks for the Network
Provider to submit any and all documentation to support or refute the complaint as part of the
complaint investigation process. Cenpatico provides documentation with the complaint
resolution to the Provider.

Records and Documentation
Network Providers need to retain all books, records and documentation related to services
rendered to Members as required by law and in a manner that facilitates audits for regulatory
and contractual reviews.
The Network Provider will provide Cenpatico, Sunflower Health Plan and other regulatory
agencies access to these documents to assure financial solvency and healthcare delivery
capability, to investigate complaints and grievances, and to meet the reporting requirements
specified in the contract between Sunflower Health Plan and KanCare, subject to regulations
concerning confidentiality of such information.
Access to documentation must be provided upon reasonable notice for all inpatient care. This
provision shall survive the termination and or non-renewal of a Provider Agreement with
Cenpatico.
Reporting and Metric Requirements
Network Providers may be required to submit timely to Cenpatico reports or performance metrics
as required by Sunflower Health Plan’s contract with KanCare, and/or Cenpatico’s requirements
for NCQA accreditation. Such metrics shall include but not be limited to provider rosters by
service location, average number of days to receive an emergent appointment, average
number of days to receive a routine appointment, network adequacy and complaint trends.
Cenpatico and Network Providers shall work together to find solutions when performance
standards are not met.
Record Keeping and Retention
The clinical record is an important element in the delivery of quality treatment because it
documents the information to provide assessment and treatment services. Sample forms are
located on our website at www.cenpatico.com and Network Providers are encouraged to use
for Members.
As part of our ongoing Quality Improvement program, clinical records may be audited to assure
the quality and consistency of Network Provider documentation, as well as the appropriateness
of treatment. Before charts can be reviewed or shared with others, the Member must sign an
authorization for release. Chart Audits of Member records will be evaluated in accordance with
these criteria.
Clinical records require documentation of all contacts concerning the Member, relevant
financial and legal information, consents for release/ disclosure of information, release of
information to the Member’s PCP, documentation of Member receipt of the Statement of
Member’s Rights and Responsibilities, the prescribed medications with refill dates and quantities,
including clear evidence of the informed consent, and any other information from other
professionals and agencies. If the Network Provider is able to dispense medication, the Network
Provider must conform to drug dispensing guidelines set forth in the Sunflower Health Plan drug
formulary.
Network Providers shall retain clinical records for Members for as long as is required by applicable
law. These records shall be maintained in a secure manner, but must be retrievable upon
request.

Cenpatico Compliance Program
The Cenpatico President/CEO and Compliance Department share responsibility and authority
for carrying out the provisions of the compliance program. In collaboration with Sunflower
Health Plan, Cenpatico is committed to conducting activities in an ethical manner consistent
with applicable laws, contracts and regulatory requirements.
The Network Providers shall cooperate fully in making personnel and/or subcontractor personnel
available in person for interviews, consultation, grand jury proceedings, pre-trial conferences,
hearings, trials and in any other process, including investigations by Sunflower Health Plan.
The Cenpatico Compliance Program includes a system for identifying and reporting waste,
abuse and fraud and for safeguarding the privacy of confidential information as follows;
Waste, Abuse and Fraud (WAF) System
Cenpatico is committed to the detection, investigation and prosecution of waste, abuse
and fraud (WAF). WAF is defined as follows:
Waste – Use of healthcare benefits or dollars without a real need. For example, prescribing a
medication for thirty (30) days with a refill when it is not known if the medication will be needed.
Abuse – Practices that are inconsistent with sound fiscal, business or medical practices, and
result in unnecessary cost to the health plan program, including, but not limited to practices that
result in unnecessary cost to the Health Care program for services that are not Medically
Necessary, or that fail to meet professionally recognized standards for healthcare. It also
includes Member practices that result in unnecessary cost to the health plan program.
Fraud – An intentional deception or misrepresentation made by a person or corporation with the
knowledge that the deception could result in some unauthorized benefit under the health plan
program to himself, the corporation, or some other person. It also includes any act that constitutes
fraud under applicable federal orsState healthcare fraud laws. Examples of Provider fraud
include: lack of referrals by PCPs to specialists, improper coding, billing for services never
rendered, inflating bills for services and/or goods provided, and Providers who engage in a
pattern of providing and/or billing for medically unnecessary services. Examples of Member fraud
include improperly obtaining prescriptions for controlled substances and card sharing.
Reporting Provider or Member Waste, Abuse or Fraud
If you suspect a Member (a person who receives benefits) or a Provider (e.g., doctor, counselor,
etc.) has committed waste, abuse or fraud, you have a responsibility and a right to report it.

Federal and States Laws Governing the Release of Information
The release of certain information is governed by a myriad of federal and/or state laws.
These laws often place restrictions on how specific types of information may be disclosed,
including, but not limited to, behavioral health, alcohol/substance use disorder treatment and
communicable disease records.
For example, the federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) requires
that covered entities, such as health plans and providers, release protected health information
only when permitted under the law, such as for treatment, payment and operations activities,
including care management and coordination.
However, a different set of federal rules place more stringent restrictions on the use and
disclosure of alcohol and substance use disorder treatment records (42 CFR Part 2 or ―Part 2).
These records generally may not be released without consent from the individual whose
information is subject to the release. Still other laws at the state level place further restrictions on
the release of certain information, such as behavioral health, communicable disease, etc.

Treatment Record Guidelines
Cenpatico requires treatment records to be maintained in a manner that is current, detailed
and organized and which permits effective and confidential patient care and quality review.
Treatment record standards are adopted that are consistent with the National Committee for
Quality Assurance. The adopted standards facilitate communication, coordination and
continuity of care and promote efficient, confidential and effective treatment. Medical records
must be prepared in accordance with all applicable State and Federal rules and regulations
and signed by the medical professional rendering the services.
Cenpatico’s minimum standards for Provider medical record keeping practices include medical
record content, medical record organization, ease of retrieving medical records, and
maintaining confidentiality of patient information. The following thirteen (13) elements reflect a
set of commonly accepted standards for behavioral health treatment record documentation:
1.
2.
Each page in the treatment record contains the patient’s name or ID number.
Each record includes the patient’s address, employer or school, home and work
telephone numbers including emergency contacts, marital or legal status, appropriate
consent forms and guardianship information, if relevant.

the patient’s medical and psychiatric status and the results of a mental status exam, are
documented.
Special status situations, when present, such as imminent risk of harm, suicidal
ideation or elopement potential, are prominently noted, documented and revised
in compliance with written protocols.
Each record indicates what medications have been prescribed, the dosages of
each and the dates of initial prescription or refills.

goals and objectives and reflect treatment interventions that are consistent with those
goals and objectives. Documented interventions include continuity and coordination
of care activities, as appropriate. Dates of follow-up appointments or, as applicable,
discharge plans are noted.
Preventative Behavioral Health Programs
Cenpatico, in conjunction with Sunflower Health Plan, offers the Perinatal Depression Screening
Program as a preventative behavioral health program for our Members. The Perinatal
Depression Screening Program offers depression screening to Members who are pregnant via a
brief, easy to answer survey, in order to identify Members who would benefit from behavioral
health services. Members can complete the surveys in their PCP offices, CMHC, or submit the
survey directly to Cenpatico. If completed at a Provider’s office, the Provider submits the
screening to Cenpatico for scoring and analysis. Each Member who participates receives
communication from Cenpatico regarding the outcome of their survey answers and resources
36
Cenpatico Provider Manual

available to them. If a Member screens positive for depression while pregnant or after delivery, a
Cenpatico clinical staff person will call to attempt to outreach and engage the Member in
services and/or finding community resources. Cenpatico communicates the survey findings
and outreach attempts to the Member’s medical provider as well to support coordination of
care.
Cenpatico appreciates your assistance in promoting this preventative behavioral health
program. You can refer your Members to the program directly when you assess a Member is
at risk for, or screened positive for, depression while pregnant or post-delivery. If you would
like more information about the program or if you have suggestions as to how we can
improve our preventative behavioral health program, please contact the Quality
Improvement department at 512-406-7200.
Complaints, Grievances and Appeals
Member Grievances and Provider Complaints
Grievances
A Member grievance is defined as any Member expression of dissatisfaction about any matter
other than an “adverse action”. A Provider complaint is any Provider expression of dissatisfaction
about any matter other than a claims dispute.
Note: Throughout this Manual, we will consider the term “grievance” to refer to both Member
grievances and Provider complaints as the resolution processes are the same. Provider
complaints include disputes regarding policies, procedures or any aspect of Sunflower Health
Plans’ administrative functions including proposed actions.
The grievance process allows the Member, or the Member’s authorized representative (Provider,
family Member, etc.) acting on behalf of the Member, to file a grievance either orally or in
writing within 180 calendar days of the event covering the dissatisfaction. Sunflower State Health
Plan shall acknowledge receipt of each grievance in writing within 5 working days of receipt of
the grievance. A Provider MAY NOT file a grievance or appeal on behalf of a Member without
written consent by the Member or the Member’s representative. Any individual who makes a
decision on grievances will not be involved in any previous level of review or decision making. In
any case where the reason for the grievance involves clinical issues or relates to denial of
expedited resolution of an appeal, Sunflower Health Plan shall ensure that the decision makers
are health care professionals with the appropriate clinical expertise in treating the Member’s
condition or disease. Sunflower Health Plan values its Providers and will not take punitive action
against Providers who file a grievance on a Member’s behalf. To file a complaint, please call:
866-896- 7293. A Cenpatico Customer Service Representative will assist you in filing a grievance.
Acknowledgement
Staff receiving grievances orally will acknowledge the grievance and attempt to resolve them
immediately. Staff will document the substance of the grievance. For informal grievances,
defined as those received orally and resolved immediately to the satisfaction of the Member,
representative or Provider, the staff will document the resolution details. Member notification of
the grievance resolution shall be made in writing within two business days of the resolution. The
Grievance and Appeals Coordinator (GAC) will date stamp written grievances upon initial
receipt and send an acknowledgment letter, which includes a description of the grievance
procedures and resolution time frames, within five business days of receipt of the written
grievance.
37
Cenpatico Provider Manual
www.cenpatico.com
Call us toll free: 866-896-7293
Grievance Resolution Time Frame
Grievance Resolution will occur as expeditiously as the Member’s health condition requires, not
toexceed thirty (30) calendar days from the date of the initial receipt of the grievance.
Grievances will be resolved by the GAC, in coordination with other Sunflower State Health Plan
staff as needed. In our experience, most grievances are resolved at the staff level to the
satisfaction of the Member, representative or Provider filing the grievance. Expedited grievance
reviews will be available for Members in situations deemed urgent, such as a denial of an
expedited appeal request, and will be resolved within 24 hours.
Sunflower Health Plan may extend the resolution of a grievance by up to 14 calendar days if the
Member or a Member representative requests the extension or if Sunflower Health Plan
determines that there is a need for additional information and the extension is in the Member’s
interest. For any extension not requested by the Member, Sunflower Health Plan will give the
Member written notice of the reason for the extension within two working days of the decision to
extend the timeframe.
Notice of Resolution
The GAC will provide written resolution to the Member, representative or Provider within 30
calendar days of receipt. The letter will include, but need not be limited to: all information
considered in investigating the grievance, findings and conclusions, the deposition of the
grievance, and the right to a second level review by the Grievance Appeal Committee (GAC) if
the Member is not satisfied.
The grievance response shall include, but not be limited to, the decision reached by Sunflower
Health Plan, the reason(s) for the decision, the policies or procedures which provide the basis for
the decision, and a clear explanation of any further rights available to the Member. A copy of
verbal complaints logs and records of disposition or written grievances shall be retained for five
years.
Grievances may be submitted by written notification to:

Appeals
An appeal is the request for review of a “Notice of Adverse Action”. A “Notice of Adverse
Action” is the denial or limited authorization of a requested service, including the type or level of
service; the reduction, suspension, or termination of a previously authorized service; the denial,
in whole or part of payment for a service excluding technical reasons; the failure to render a
decision within the required timeframes; or the denial of a Member’s request to exercise his/her
right under 42 CFR 438.52(b)(2)(ii) to obtain services outside the Cenpatico/Sunflower Health
Plan Network. The review may be requested in writing or orally within thirty (30) calendar days of
receiving the Notice of Adverse Action; an oral request, must be followed up with a written,
signed appeal. Requests for appeals within the standard timeframe must be resolved within
fourteen (14) days of receipt of the appeal, with a fourteen (14) day extension possible if
additional information is required. The legal guardian of the Member (for minors or
38
Cenpatico Provider Manual
www.cenpatico.com
Call us toll free: 866-896-7293
incapacitated adults), a representative of the minor designated in writing, or a Provider acting
on behalf of the Member with the Member’s written consent, has the right to file an appeal of
an action on behalf of the Member. Sunflower Health Plan shall provide written notice that the
appeal has been received within three business days of its receipt, including the expected date
of resolution. Members may request that Sunflower State Health Plan review the Notice of
Adverse Action to verify if the right decision has been made. Cenpatico ensures that the
Cenpatico decision makers on grievance and appeals were not involved in previous levels of
review or decision making and are health care professionals with clinical expertise in treatment
of the Member’s conditions.
If a Member is receiving authorized services that are now denied and wishes to keep getting
these services, an appeal must be submitted in writing within 10 calendar days of the denial
letter. The request must clearly state that the Member wishes to keep getting the denied
services. The Member can keep getting these services until the appeal decision is rendered. If
the appeal decision upholds Sunflower Health Plan’s denial, the Member may have to pay for
the services.
Expedited Appeals
Expedited appeals may be filed when either Sunflower Health Plan or the Member’s Provider
determines that the time expended in a standard resolution could seriously jeopardize the
Member’s life or health or ability to attain, maintain, or regain maximum functioning. No punitive
action will be taken against a Provider that requests an expedited resolution or supports a
Member’s appeal. In instances where the Member’s request for an expedited appeal is denied,
the appeal must be transferred to the timeframe for standard resolution of appeals.
Decisions for expedited appeals are issued as expeditiously as the Member’s health condition
requires, not exceeding three working days from the initial receipt of the appeal. Sunflower
Health Plan may extend this timeframe by up to an additional 14 calendar days if the Member
requests the extension or if Sunflower Health Plan provides evidence satisfactory to the State
that a delay in rendering the decision is in the Member’s interest. For any extension not
requested by the Member, Sunflower Health Plan shall provide written notice to the Member of
the reason for the delay. Sunflower Health Plan shall make reasonable efforts to provide the
Member with prompt verbal notice of any decisions that are not resolved wholly in favor of the
Member and shall follow-up within two calendar days with a written notice of action.
Written notice shall include the following information:
(a) The decision reached by Sunflower Health Plan;
(b) The date of decision;
(c) For appeals not resolved wholly in favor of the Member, the right to request a State
fair hearing and information as to how to do so; and
(d) The right to request to receive benefits while the hearing is pending and how to
make the request, explaining that the Member may be held liable for the cost of those
services if the hearing decision upholds the Sunflower Health Plan decision;
(e) Notification that in the State Fair Hearing the member may represent him/herself or
use legal counsel, a relative, a friend, or a spokesperson;
(f) Any other information required by Kansas Statute that relates to a managed care
organization’s notice of disposition of an appeal.

State Fair Hearing Process
Sunflower Health Plan will include information in the Member Handbook, online and via the
appeals process to Members of their right to appeal directly to the State. The Member has the
right to appeal to the State at the same time they appeal to Sunflower Health Plan, after
exhausting appeal rights with Sunflower Health Plan, or instead of appealing to Sunflower Health
Plan.
Any adverse action or appeal that is not resolved wholly in favor of the Member by Sunflower
Health Plan may be appealed by the Member or the Member’s authorized representative to the
State for a fair hearing. Sunflower Health Plans denial of payment for Kansas Medicaid covered
services and failure to act on a request for services within required timeframes may also be
appealed. Appeals must be requested in writing by the Member or the Member’s
representative within 90 days of the Member’s receipt of notice of adverse action.
Sunflower Health Plan shall comply with the State’s Fair hearing decision. The State’s decision in
these matters shall be final and shall not be subject to appeal by Sunflower Health Plan.
Reversed Appeal Resolution
If Sunflower Health Plan or the State fair hearing decision reverses a decision to deny, limit, or
delay services, where such services were not furnished while the appeal was pending, Sunflower
Health Plan will authorize the disputed services promptly and as expeditiously as the Member’s
health condition requires. Additionally, in the event that services were continued while the
appeal was pending, Sunflower Health Plan will provide reimbursement for those services in
accordance with the terms of the final decision rendered by the States and applicable
regulations.
To request a State Fair Hearing, you must file a written request with the Office of Administrative
Hearings, 1020 S. Kansas Avenue, Topeka, KS 66612 within 30 days of the written notice. If KDHEDHCF mailed the notice of denial to you, K.S.A. 77- 531 allows you an additional three days to file
such a request.

KanCare Member that requests and inspects the adult Member’s KanCare identification card
(or other documentation provided by the state agency demonstrating KanCare eligibility) and
health plan membership card. If the adult Member does not produce their health plan
membership card, and the Provider verifies eligibility and health plan enrollment, the Provider
may provide service.

of an Outpatient Authorization Treatment Request. If it is determined that the Member meets
medical necessity criteria for continued CPST services, past the 48 units available every three
calendar months, Cenpatico will authorize additional services up to 3 months at a time. The
number of units being authorized past the 48 units will be based on the Member’s individualized
needs. If an OTR is not submitted, and an authorization is not obtained, claims for units beyond
the 48 per three calendar months will be denied for ‘no authorization on file.’ CPST services

Specialty Therapy and Rehabilitative Services (STRS)
Cenpatico offers Sunflower Health Plan Members access to all covered, medically necessary
outpatient home health, physical, occupational and speech therapy services.
Prior authorization is required for outpatient home health, physical, occupational, or speech
therapy services and prior authorization requests should be submitted to Cenpatico Specialty
Therapy and Rehabilitative Services (STRS) using the Outpatient Treatment Request (OTR) form
located at www.cenpatico.com.
Cenpatico STRS Outpatient Therapies Prior Authorization
Fax: 1-866-264-4452
Cenpatico STRS created and applies medical necessity criteria developed using Clinical Practice
Guidelines of the physical, occupational and speech Professional Associations, as well as
InterQual Criteria for both adult and pediatric guidelines. The criteria can be found on the
Cenpatico website at: www.cenpatico.com. Cenpatico STRS utilizes Physical, Occupational and
Speech Therapists to process Outpatient Treatment Requests. Our specialized approach allows
for interaction in real time with the Provider to best meet the overall therapeutic needs of the
Members.
In the event that the Provider is unable to provide timely access for a Member, Cenpatico will
assist in securing authorization to a Provider to meet the Member’s needs in a timely manner.
For more detailed information about Specialty Therapy and Rehabilitative Services, please read
the provider manual on the Sunflower Health Plan website at www.sunflowerhealthplan.com . For
additional questions, please contact Cenpatico STRS at 877-644-4623.

Utilization Management
The Utilization Management Program
The Cenpatico Utilization Management department’s hours of operation are Monday through
Friday (excluding holidays) from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., local time. Additionally, clinical staff is
available after hours if needed to discuss urgent UM issues. UM staff can be reached via our
toll-free number at 866-896-7293. The Cenpatico Utilization Management team is comprised of
qualified behavioral health professionals whose education, training and experience are
commensurate with the Utilization Management reviews they conduct.
Cenpatico is committed to compliance with the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act
(MHPAEA) of 2008 and the Interim Final Rule and subsequent Final Ruling.
Cenpatico will ensure compliance with MHPAEA requiring parity of both quantitative limits
(QTLS) applied to MH/SUD benefits and non-quantitative limits (NQTLS). Cenpatico administers
benefits for Substance Use Disorder (SUD) and/or behavioral health conditions as designated
and approved by the State contract and Plan benefits. MHPAE does not preempt state law,
unless law limits application of the act. We support access to care for individuals seeking
treatment for behavioral health conditions as well as Substance Use Disorders and believe in a
“no wrong door” approach. Our strategies, evidentiary standards and processes for reviewing
treatment services are no more stringent than those in use for medical/surgical benefits in the
same classification when determining to what extent a benefit is subject to NQTLs.
The Cenpatico Utilization Management Program strives to ensure:





Member care meets Medical Necessity Criteria;
Treatment is specific to the Member’s condition, is effective and is provided at the
least restrictive, most clinically appropriate level of care;
Services provided are of high clinical quality;
Utilization Management policies and procedures are systematically and consistently
applied; and
Focus on Member and family recovery, resiliency and hope.
Cenpatico’s utilization review decisions are made in accordance with currently accepted
behavioral healthcare practices, taking into account special circumstances of each case that
may require deviation from the norm stated in the screening criteria. Medical Necessity Criteria
are used for the review and approval of treatment. Plans of care that do not meet Medical
Necessity guidelines are referred to a licensed physician advisor or psychologist for review and
peer to peer discussion.
Cenpatico conducts utilization management in a timely manner to minimize any disruption in the
provision of behavioral healthcare services. The timeliness of decisions adheres to specific and
standardized time frames yet remains sufficiently flexible to accommodate urgent situations.
Utilization Management files includes the date of receipt of information and the date and time
of notification and resolution.
Cenpatico’s Utilization Management Department is under the direction of our licensed Medical
Director. The Utilization Management Staff regularly confer with the Medical Director or
physician designee on any cases where there are questions or concerns.

Member Eligibility
Establishing Member eligibility for benefits and obtaining an authorization before treatment is
essential for the claims payment process. It is the responsibility of the Network Provider to
monitor the Member’s ongoing eligibility during the course of treatment.
Network Providers should use either of the following methodologies to verify Member eligibility;
Contact Cenpatico Customer Service at 866-896-7293 Access the Provider web portal at
www.cenpatico.com
Outpatient Notification Process
Network Providers need to adhere to the Covered Professional Services & Authorization
Guidelines set forth in this Manual when rendering services. Please refer to the Covered
Professional Services & Authorization Guidelines to identify which services require prior
authorization. Cenpatico does not retroactively authorize treatment.
Please see the Covered Professional Services and Authorization Guidelines grid to get detailed
information about the authorization limits.
Outpatient Treatment Request (OTR)/ Requesting Additional Sessions
When requesting additional sessions for those outpatient services that require authorization, the
Network Provider must complete an Outpatient Treatment Request (OTR) form and fax the
completed form to Cenpatico at 866-694-3649, The OTR is located on our website at
www.cenpatico.com. Network Providers may call Customer Service at 866-896-7293, Network
Providers should allow up to two (2) to fourteen (14) calendar days to process non-urgent
requests.
IMPORTANT:
The OTR must be completed in its entirety. The diagnosis (es), as well as all other clinical
information, must be evident. Failure to complete an OTR in its entirety can result in
authorization delay and/or denials.
Retro Authorization
Retrospective review is an initial review of both inpatient and outpatient services provided to a
Member, but for which authorization and/or timely notification to Cenpatico was not
obtained. If this is due to extenuating circumstances (i.e. Member was unconscious at time of
presentation, Member did not have their Medicaid card or otherwise indicated Medicaid
coverage, services authorized by another payer who subsequently determined Member was
not eligible at the time of service), the requests for retrospective review must be within 30
business days of the Network Provider knowing that the Member had Sunflower Health Plan
coverage. For those services, both inpatient and outpatient, where the Member was given
Medicaid coverage after the service occurred, the requests for retrospective review must be
submitted to Cenpatico within thirty (30) business days of the Medicaid card issue date. A
decision on retrospective reviews will be made within thirty (30) calendar days following receipt
of the request.
Cenpatico Provider Manual
www.cenpatico.com
Page 67
Call us toll free: 866-896-7293
Network Providers must submit their Retroactive Authorization request to:
Cenpatico
Attn: Appeals Department
12515-8 Research Blvd.
Suite 400
Austin, TX 78759
Fax: 866-714-7991
Retro Authorizations will only be granted in rare cases, such as eligibility issues. All requests for
retro authorizations must be submitted within 180 days of the date of service and should
include a cover letter explaining why authorization was not obtained. You should provide
medical records that will be used to determine if medical necessity was met for the services
provided.
Repeated requests for Retro Authorizations will result in termination from the Cenpatico Provider
Network due to inability to follow policies and procedures.
Failure to submit a completed OTR can result in delayed authorization and may negatively
impact your ability to meet the timely filing deadlines which will result in payment denial.
Guidelines for Psychological Testing
Prior authorization is required for psychological testing must be prior-authorized, for either
inpatient or outpatient services. Testing, with prior- authorization, may be used to clarify
questions about a diagnosis as it directly relates to treatment.
It is important to note that;


Testing will not be authorized by Cenpatico for ruling out a medical condition.
Testing is not used to confirm previous results that are not expected to change.
A comprehensive initial assessment (90791 and 90792) may be conducted by the requesting
Psychologist prior to requesting authorization for testing. No authorization is required for this
assessment if the provider is contracted and credentialed with Cenpatico.
Network Providers should submit a request for Psychological Testing that includes the specific
tests to be performed. Cenpatico’s Psychological Testing Authorization Request form is located
on our website at www.cenpatico.com.
Guidelines for Requesting SED Waiver Services
When a Member qualifies for the SED Waiver Services the Network Provider is to submit the budget
and all required components into Lucidity prior to service delivery. Network Providers must also fax
the Member’s Plan of Care (POC) including signature page the same day. The number of units
allowed prior to submission of the POC is outlined in the Covered Services and Authorization
Guideline Grid, located within the Provider Manual.
In the event that an SED Waiver Services Member was not assigned to an MCO at the time of their
clinical eligibility determination, but was later assigned to Sunflower Health Plan, Cenpatico would
perform a retrospective review back to the date of Medicaid eligibility. If a Member is already
Cenpatico Provider Manual
www.cenpatico.com
Page 68
Call us toll free: 866-896-7293
assigned to Sunflower Health Plan, Cenpatico would require the Network Provider to follow the
Covered Services and Authorization Guidelines Grid to determine when the request needs to be
submitted.
SED WAIVER PROCESSING UPDATES
Member participation in treatment planning is a very important part of the treatment process. It
greatly enhances treatment success because it guarantees that the Member has a voice. The
ability to be heard increases the Member’s engagement in their treatment and healing process.
Cenpatico and the State of Kansas expect that all Members, age 5 years and above, shall attend
treatment planning sessions unless there is a mitigating reason why such Member should not be
present for their Plan of Care reviews. (Reference SED Waiver Manual page 19).
In order to facilitate successful treatment planning sessions, Cenpatico recommends:

Meetings should take place during times and at specific locations that are convenient for
the Member.

Natural support systems will be identified by the facilitator and those supports will be
incorporated into the meetings.
If a member presents with challenging behaviors, Cenpatico suggests that the CMHC’s explore
the following options in an effort to increase the Member’s participation in treatment planning
meetings. These may include:

Provision of natural supports

Attendant care

Allowing the member to attend part of the meeting to verbalize what will help them be
successful in their treatment and help to individualize the goals
If a member is unable to attend treatment planning after reasonable accommodations have
been provided, there must be documentation on the signature line of the treatment plan and
also documented in the progress notes as to why the member was unable to participate.
Inability of a member to participate may include:

Illness of the member

Documentation that indicates participation in treatment planning would be emotionally
harmful to the member. Note the risk of this should be evaluated on a continued basis to
assess readiness to participate in future treatment planning.
The Plan of Care (POC) update must be submitted within 2 weeks of the meeting date in order to
be considered for approval of the entire timeframe. The POC should be faxed the same day that
the budget is entered into Lucidity along with supporting documentation. Cenpatico will only
backdate fourteen (14) calendar days. This timeframe excludes the initial plan of care which
remains the same. If the budget has been entered into Lucidity and if all required documentation
has been submitted timely, then backdating guidelines would not apply when there are financial
eligibility issues.
Cenpatico Provider Manual
www.cenpatico.com
Page 69
Call us toll free: 866-896-7293
Plans of Care should be completed at least every 90 days. If it is greater than ninety (90) days
since the last review, a request for authorization will not be approved for days where there is no an
active Plan of Care.
Cenpatico does not require a signature page or Plan of Care review for SED Waiver Services if the
provider is only seeking an increase in the number of units of a service. Please indicate in the note
section of Lucidity what types of units are being increased (monthly, crisis, post crisis budget etc.).
Also, specify the type of additional services that are being requested. This process is not to be
used if there is an addition or deletion of a service as this would be a significant clinical change.
Cenpatico will process the request and add the units in to the existing authorization.
Guidelines for SUD Authorizations
Network Providers requesting authorization for SUD services must utilize the KCPC system. The
Network Provider will request the services and units via KCPC, and Cenpatico staff will review the
authorization in the KCPC system. Beginning January 1, 2014, H0004 and H0005 no longer require
prior authorization but must be entered in to the KCPC system for tracking.
Guidelines for the Autism Waiver Services
Providers who are requesting authorization for Autism Waiver Services are to request these services
via the Autism Waiver Outpatient Treatment Request Form, located on the Cenpatico website.
Guidelines for Inpatient Screening and Admission to PRTF
Members who are in need of inpatient hospitalization are to receive an inpatient screening from
the local CMHC. The Network Provider conducting the screening is to arrange the hospitalization
and submit the screening to Cenpatico by the next business day. Once the Member arrives at the
facility, the facility is to notify Cenpatico within 24 hours of admission. Concurrent reviews will occur
with the Cenpatico Utilization Manager. The screening for inpatient hospitalization will be honored
for up to five (5) days post the date of the screen.
Members who are in need of PRTF placement are to receive a screening assessment from the
CMHC. The CMHC will notify Cenpatico of the outcome of the screen and invite Cenpatico case
management staff to participate in the CBST meeting. Screenings for PRTF placement will be
honored for up to fifteen (15) days post the date of the screen.
Medical Necessity
Member coverage is not an entitlement to utilization of all covered benefits, but indicates
services that are available when medical necessity criteria (MNC) are satisfied. Network
Providers are expected to work closely with Cenpatico’s Utilization Management Department in
exercising judicious use of a Member’s benefit and to carefully explain the treatment plan to the
Member in accordance with the Member’s benefits offered by Sunflower Health Plan. Utilization
management will review OTR’s based on MNC, and will outreach to the Provider for further
clinical information as needed.
Cenpatico uses InterQual Criteria for behavioral health services, both adult and pediatric
guidelines. InterQual is a nationally recognized instrument that provides a consistent, evidencebased platform for care decisions and promotes appropriate use of services and improved
health outcomes. Cenpatico utilizes the American Society of Addiction Medicine Patient
Placement Criteria (ASAM) for substance use disorder Medical Necessity Criteria. For Substance

Use Disorder (SUD) Providers who are currently utilizing KCPC, Cenpatico will continue to utilize the
KCPC system. Additionally, Cenpatico has adopted the Kansas State Medicaid Manual service
descriptions and medical necessity guidelines for all community based services.
ASAM and the InterQual criteria sets are proprietary and cannot be distributed in full; however, a
copy of the specific criteria relevant to any individual need for authorization is available upon
request. Community-Based Services criteria can be found on the Cenpatico website at:
www.cenpatico.com.
ASAM, InterQual and our Community Based Services criteria are reviewed on an annual basis by
the Cenpatico Provider Advisory Committee that is comprised of Network Providers as well as
Cenpatico clinical staff.
Cenpatico is committed to the delivery of appropriate service and coverage, and offers no
organizational incentives, including compensation, to any employed or contracted UM staff
based on the quantity or type of utilization decisions rendered. Review decisions are based only
on appropriateness of care and service criteria, and UM staff is encouraged to bring
inappropriate care or service decisions to the attention of the Medical Director.
Concurrent Review
Cenpatico’s Utilization Management Department will concurrently review the treatment and
status of all Members in inpatient (including crisis stabilization units) and partial hospitalization
through contact with the Member’s attending physician or the facility’s Utilization and
Discharge Planning departments. The frequency of review for all higher levels of care will be
determined by the Member’s clinical condition and response to treatment. The review will
include evaluation of the Member’s current status, proposed plan of care and discharge plans.
Peer Clinical Review Process
If the Utilization Manager is unable to certify the requested level of care based on the
information provided, they will initiate the peer review process.
For continued stay requests, the physician or treating provider is notified about the opportunity
for a telephonic peer-to-peer review with the Peer Reviewer to discuss the plan of treatment.
The Peer Reviewer initiates at least three (3) telephone contact attempts within twenty-four (24)
hours prior to issuing a clinical determination. All attempts to reach the requestor are
documented in the Utilization Management Record. If the time period allowed to provide the
information expires without receipt of additional information, a decision is made based on the
information available. When a determination is made where no peer-to-peer conversation has
occurred, a Provider can request to speak with the Peer Reviewer who made the determination
within one (1) business day. Providers should contact Cenpatico at 866-896-7293 to discuss UM
denial decisions.
The Peer Reviewer consults with qualified board certified sub-specialty psychiatrists when the
Peer Reviewer determines the need, when a request is beyond his/ her scope, or when a
healthcare provider submits good cause in writing.
As a result of the Peer Clinical Review process, Cenpatico makes a decision to approve or deny
authorization for services.

Notice of Action (Adverse Determination)
When Cenpatico determines that a specific service does not meet criteria and will therefore not
be authorized, Cenpatico will submit a written notice of action (or denial) notification to the
treating Network Provider, Providers rendering the service(s) and the Member. The notification
will include the following information/ instructions:
1. The reason(s) for the proposed action in clearly understandable language;
2. A reference to the criteria, guideline, benefit provision, or protocol used in the decision,
communicated in an easy to understand summary;
3. A statement that the criteria, guideline, benefit provision, or protocol will be provided
upon request;
4. Information on how the Provider may contact the Peer Reviewer to discuss decisions and
proposed actions. When a determination is made where no peer-to-peer conversation
has occurred, the Peer Reviewer who made the determination (or another Peer
Reviewer if the original Peer Reviewer is unavailable) will be available within one (1)
business day of a request by the treating Provider to discuss the determination;
5. Instructions for requesting an appeal including the right to submit written comments or
documents with the appeal request; the Member’s right to appoint a representative to
assist them with the appeal, and the timeframe for making the appeal decision;
6. For all urgent precertification and concurrent review clinical adverse decisions,
instructions for requesting an expedited appeal; and
7. The right to have benefits continues pending resolution of the appeal, how to request
that benefits be continued, and the circumstances under which the Member may be
required to pay the costs of these services.
Discharge Planning
Follow up after hospitalization is one of the most important markers monitored by Cenpatico to
help Members remain stable and to reduce preventable readmissions into acute levels of care.
Follow up after discharge is monitored closely by the National Committee for Quality Assurance
(NCQA), which has developed and maintains the Health Care Effectiveness Data Information
Set (HEDIS). Even more importantly, increased compliance with this measure has been proven to
minimize no-shows in outpatient treatment, thereby improving Member engagement in
behavioral health services.
While a Member is in an inpatient facility receiving acute care services, Cenpatico’s Utilization
and Case Managers work with the facility’s treatment team to make arrangements for
continued care with outpatient Network Providers. Every effort is made to collaborate with the
outpatient Network Providers to assist with transition back to the community and a less
restrictive environment as soon as the Member is stable. Discharge planning should be initiated
on admission.
Prior to discharge from an inpatient setting, an ambulatory follow-up appointment must be
scheduled within seven (7) days after discharge. Cenpatico Coordination/Case Management
staff will follow-up with the Member prior to this appointment to remind him/her of the
appointment. If a Member does not keep his/her outpatient appointment after discharge,
Network Providers should inform Cenpatico as soon as possible. Upon notification of a no-show,
Cenpatico Provider Manual
www.cenpatico.com
Page 72
Call us toll free: 866-896-7293
Care Coordination staff will follow up with the Member and assist with rescheduling the
appointment and provide resources as needed to ensure appointment compliance.
Continuity of Care
When Members are newly enrolled and have previously received behavioral health services,
Cenpatico will authorize care as needed to minimize disruption and promote continuity of
care. Cenpatico will work with non-participating Providers (those that are not contracted and
credentialed in Cenpatico’s Provider Network) to continue treatment or create a transition
plan to facilitate the transfer of a Member’s care to a participating Network Provider.
In addition, if Cenpatico determines that a Member is in need of services that are not covered
benefits, the Member will be referred to an appropriate Provider and Cenpatico will continue
to coordinate care including discharge planning.
Cenpatico will ensure appropriate post-discharge care when a Member transitions from a State
institution, and will ensure appropriate screening, assessment and crisis intervention services are
available in support of Members who are in the care and custody of the State.
Clinical Practice Guidelines
Cenpatico has adopted many of the clinical practice guidelines published by the American
Psychiatric Association and the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry as well
as evidence-based practices for a variety of services. Clinical practice guidelines adopted
include but are not limited to: Treatment of Bipolar Disorder, Treatment of Major Depressive
Disorder, Treatment of Schizophrenia, and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Clinical practice
guidelines may be accessed through our web site, www.cenpatico.com, or you may request a
paper copy of the guidelines by contacting your network representative or by calling 866-8967293. Copies of our evidence based practices can be obtained in the same manner.
.Cenpatico uses associated HEDIS measures for assessing Provider compliance with the
Treatment of Major Depressive Disorder and Treatment of ADHD clinical practice guidelines.
Cenpatico encourages Network Providers to review the full suite of Cenpatico clinical practice
guidelines to support the Network Provider’s clinical treatment strategy.
Advance Directives
Cenpatico is committed to ensuring that Sunflower Health Plan Members know of, and are able
to avail themselves of their rights to execute Advance Directives. Cenpatico is equally
committed to ensuring that its Network Providers and office staff are aware of, and comply with
their responsibilities under federal and State law regarding Advance Directives.
Network Providers must ensure Members or Member representatives over the age of eighteen
(18) years receive information on Advance Directives and are informed of their right to execute
Advance Directives. Network Providers must document such information in the permanent
Member medical record.
Case Management Program
The Cenpatico/ Sunflower Health Plan case management model uses an integrated team of
registered nurses, licensed behavioral health professionals, social workers and non-clinical staff.
The model is designed to help Members obtain needed services and assist them in coordination
of their healthcare needs whether they are covered within the Sunflower Health Plan or
Cenpatico Provider Manual

Cenpatico array of covered services, from the community, or from other non-covered venues.
We recognize that multiple co-morbidities will be common among our membership. The goal of
our program is to collaborate with the Member and all treating Providers to assist our Members to
achieve the highest possible levels of wellness, functioning, and quality of life.
The program includes a systematic approach for early identification of members’ needs through
screening and assessment. In partnership with our Members, we will develop and implement an
individualized care plan that is comprehensive and will incorporate the full range of needed
services we identify with our Members. Our teams will engage Members to be fully participatory
in their health decisions and offer education as well as support for achieving Member goals.
Care plans will be shared with all treating Providers and our Care Coordinators will serve to
facilitate exchange of information between Providers and with Members.
Members who are eligible for the waiver programs and have either an SED TCM through the
community mental health center, or a TCM through Sunflower Health Plan are eligible for this
care coordination/intensive care coordination program as appropriate and the Cenpatico staff
will work collaboratively with the Community TCM or the Sunflower Health Plan TCM.
We look forward to hearing from you about any Sunflower Health Plan Members you think can
benefit from outreach by a case management team member.
To contact a case manager please call Cenpatico at 866-896-7293.
Disease Management
Cenpatico offers Disease Management programs to Sunflower Health Plan Members with
depression to provide a coordinated approach in managing the disease and improve the health
status of the Member. This is accomplished by identifying and providing the most effective and
efficient resources, enhancing collaboration between medical and behavioral health providers
and ongoing monitoring of outcomes of treatment. Cenpatico’s Disease Management programs
are based on clinical practice guidelines and include research evidence-based practices.
Multiple communication strategies are used in Disease Management programs to include written
materials, telephonic outreach, and web-based information, in person outreach through
MemberConnections program and case managers, and participation in community events.

Cenpatico Claims Department Responsibilities
Cenpatico’s claims processing responsibilities are as follows:

Reimburse Clean Claims (see Clean Claim section below) within the timeframes
outlined by the Prompt Payment Statute.

Reimburse interest on claims in accordance with the guidelines outlined in the Prompt
Pay Statute.
Cenpatico Provider Manual
www.cenpatico.com
Page 74
Call us toll free: 866-896-7293
Claims eligible for payment must meet the following requirements:

The Member is effective (eligible for coverage through Sunflower Health Plan) on
the date of service;

The service provided is a covered service (benefit of Sunflower Health Plan) on
the date of service; and

Cenpatico’s prior-authorization processes were followed.
Cenpatico’s reimbursement is based on clinical licensure, covered service billing codes and
modifiers, and the compensation schedule set forth in the Network Provider’s Agreement with
Cenpatico. Reimbursement from Cenpatico will be accepted by the Network Provider as
payment in full, not including any applicable copayments or deductibles.
It is the responsibility of the Network Provider to collect any applicable copayments
or deductibles from the Member.
CENPATICO DOES NOT ACCEPT BLACK OR COPIED FORMS. Providers need to use
only original forms that meet CMS requirements. The only acceptable claim forms
are those printed in Flint OCR Red, J6983, (or exact match) ink. Although a copy of
the CMS-1500 form can be downloaded, the copies of the form cannot be used for
submission of claims, since your copy may not accurately replicate the scale and
OCR color of the form.
Clean Claim
A clean claim is a claim submitted on an approved or identified claim format (CMS-1500 or
CMS-1450 [“UB-04”] or their successors or electronic equivalents) that contains all data fields
required by Cenpatico and the State, for final adjudication of the claim. A clean claim has no
defect, impropriety, lack of any required substantiating documentation, or particular
circumstance requiring special treatment that prevents timely payment. The required data
fields must be complete and accurate. A Clean Claim must also include Cenpatico’s published
requirements for adjudication, such as: NPI Number, Tax Identification Number, or medical
records, as appropriate. Clean Claims do not include claims submitted by or on behalf of a
Provider who is under investigation for fraud or abuse, or a claim that is under review for
medical necessity.
Claims lacking complete information are returned to the Network Provider for completion
before processing or information may be requested from the Provider on an Explanation of
Benefit (EOB) form. This will cause a delay in payment.
Explanation of Payment (EOP)
An Explanation of Payment (EOP) is provided with each claim payment or denial. The EOP will
detail each service being considered, the amount eligible for payment, copayments/
deductibles deducted from eligible amounts, and the amount reimbursed.
If you have questions regarding your EOP, please contact Cenpatico’s Claims Customer
Service department at 866-896-7293.

Visit www.payspanhealth.com to enroll, or call PaySpan Health at 1-877-331-7154.
Cenpatico Billing Policies
Member Hold Harmless
Under no circumstances is a Member to be balance billed for covered services or supplies. If
the Network Provider uses an automatic billing system, bills must clearly state that they have
Cenpatico Provider Manual
www.cenpatico.com
Page 78
Call us toll free: 866-896-7293
been filed with the insurer and that the participant is not liable for anything other than specified
un-met deductible or copayments (if any).
Please Note:

A Network Provider’s failure to authorize the service(s) does not qualify/ allow the
Network Provider to bill the Member for service(s).

Sunflower Health Plan Members may not be billed for missed sessions (“No-Show”).
Non-Covered Services
If a Network Provider renders a non-covered service to a Member, the Network Provider may
bill the Member only if he/ she has obtained written acknowledgement from the Member, prior
to rendering such non-covered service, that the specific service is not a covered benefit under
Sunflower Health Plan or Cenpatico, and that the Member understands they are responsible
for reimbursing the Network Provider for such services.
Claims Payment and Member Eligibility
Cenpatico’s Network Providers are responsible for verifying Member eligibility for each referral
and service provided on an ongoing basis.
When Cenpatico refers a Member to a Network Provider, every effort has been made to obtain
the correct eligibility information. If it is subsequently determined that the Member was not
eligible at the time of service (Member was not covered under Sunflower Health Plan or
benefits were exhausted), a denial of payment will occur and the reason for denial will be
indicated on the Explanation of Payment (EOP) accompanying the denial.
In this case, the Network Provider should bill the Member directly for services rendered while
the Member was not eligible for benefits.
It is the Member’s responsibility to notify the Network Provider of any changes in his/her insurance
coverage and/or benefits.
Coordination of Benefits
Coordination of benefits will be done for all Members with two or more types of insurance
coverage. The insurance plan that is primary pays its full benefits first. The primary insurance
carrier’s explanation of payment (EOP) or explanation of benefits (EOB) is then sent to the
secondary carrier (Cenpatico) for coordination of benefits. The EOP or EOB will explain the
primary’s payment or denial process. Cenpatico will coordinate benefits for Members as the
secondary payer.
Claims requiring coordination of benefits must be submitted to Cenpatico within 365 calendar
days from the date of disposition (final determination) of the primary payer. Claims received
outside of this timeframe will be denied for untimely submission.
For Medicare cross-over claims, Cenpatico shall coordinate benefits for dual eligible Members
by paying the lesser amount of: Cenpatico’s allowed amount minus the Medicare payment, or
the Medicare co-insurance and deductible up to Cenpatico’s allowed amount. For services
that are not covered by Medicare, or other primary payer, Cenpatico will process claims as
primary payer so long as other insurance information has been supplied on the claim.
Cenpatico follows KMAP TPL policy. All KMAP TPL billing requirements still apply. Please refer to
KMAP General TPL Payment Provider manual.

1. Call Cenpatico Customer Service at 866-896-7293. The majority of issues regarding
claims can be resolved through Customer Service.
2. When a Provider has submitted a claim and received a denial due to incorrect or
missing information, a corrected claim should be submitted within 180 days from date of
original EOP either electronically or on paper. If submitting a paper claim for review or
reconsideration of the claims disposition, the claim must clearly be marked as
RESUBMISSION along with the original claim number written at the top of the claim.

necessary criteria, the Appeals Process, described in the denial letter is the appropriate
means of resolution. If a claim was denied due to no authorization on file, please send a
request in writing for a retro- active authorization, explaining in detail the reason for
providing services without an authorization. Cenpatico contracts with physicians who are

and procedures. If the authorization contains unused visits, but the end date has
expired, please call Cenpatico Customer Service and ask the representative to extend
the end date on your authorization.
4. If a resubmission has been processed and the Network Provider is dissatisfied with
Cenpatico’s response, an appeal of this decision may be filed by writing to the address
listed below. Note: Appeals must be filed in writing. Place APPEAL within the request. In
order for Cenpatico to consider the appeal it must be received within 90 days of the
date on the EOP which contains the service line(s) being appealed, unless otherwise
