, Profess ional Standards Review Orqanizations (PSROs)
PSROs are a review mechanism, establ ished by the Social Secu r i t y Amendments o f 1972, through which physicians assume the r e s p o n s i b i l i t y fo r reviewing the u t i l i z a t i o n o f services provided under Medicaid, T i t l e X I X , and Medicare, - T i t l e XVI I I . PSROs evaluate the appropriateness o f medical determinations as they r e l a t e only t o the medical necessi ty of the serv ices provided, i n accordance w i t h profess ional standards.
The Peer Review Improvement Act o f 1982 ( T i t l e I , S u b t i t l e C of the Tax Equi ty and F i sca l Respons ib i l i t y Act o f 1982, Pub. L. 97-248) repealed the Professional Standards Review Organizat ion (PSRO) program and replaced i t w i t h the U t i l i z a t i o n and Q u a l i t y Control Peer Review Program, commonly re fe r red t o as the PRO Program. This Ac t requi res the Secretary t o enter cont rac ts w i t h p r i v a t e Peer Review Organizat ions (PROS) f o r the review o f the qua l i t y , necessity, and appropriateness of hea l th care serv ices furnished under Medicare.
I t appears t o many observers tha t PSROs, o r i g i n a l l y scheduled t o be phased out a t the end o f 1983, may be funded on an i nd i v idua l basis u n t i l the Peer Review Organizations, (PROS), are establ ished. The t r a n s i t i o n funding remains uncer ta in a t press time (September 1983). P o t e n t i a l PROS are pos i t i on ing themselves t o v i e f o r contracts. Medical soc ie t ies , e x i s t i n g PSROs, and p r i v a t e review cont rac ters appear t o be under considerat ion i n a number o f states. On or a f t e r October 1, 1984, hosp i ta ls rece iv ing payments under the Prospect ive Payment System (Medicare), - are requi red t o cont rac t w i th a PRO. The e f f e c t s tha t the phasing out of PSROs w i l l have on the Medicaid program are unclear a t t h i s time.

CNS stimulants, i.e., amphetamines and methylphenidate, are generally only available for epilepsy or Minimal Brain Dysfunction in individuals between 6 and 16 years of age. Contact laxative suppositories can be used only for specific diagnosis (paraplegia or quadriplegia, multiple sclerosis, poliomyelitis, ganglionic blockade processes occurring in the spinal nerve pathways or affecting the lumbo-sacral autonomic nervous system pathways related to bowel motility). Diazepam restricted to use in cerebral palsy, athetoid states, and spinal cord degeneration (other clinical conditions require prior authorization). Nutritional supplements or replacements only for therapeutic use to prevent serious disability or death in patients with medically diagnosed conditions that preclude the full use of regular food-stuffs. Availability of sedative/hypnotics, dermatologics and non-steroidal antiinflammatory agents is restricted to prior authorization by a Medi-Cal consultant. Exceptions are phenobarbital for the treatment of convulsive disorders and gamma benzene hexachloride. The following items are excluded from coverage: quinine, anticholinergic agents except atropine, or belladonna with or without phenobarbital; antipruritics; narcotic analgesics except those requiring triplicate prescription, and those containing grain combined with aspirin or acetaminophen; antihistamines alone or in combination, cough preparations and nasal decongestants except when authorized by a consultant for patients in intermediate care or skilled nursing facilities; and ophtalmic decongentants used for the symptomatic relief of minor eye irritations.

B. Formulary: A semi-restrictive formulary system is used. Over 350 drugs (approximately 1,000 separate codes for differing strengths and dosage forms) listed generically in formulary. Many brand names listed alphabetically as cross-index references. The patient's physician or pharmacist may request authorization from the local Medi-Cal Consultant for approval of unlisted drugs or for listed drugs which are restricted to specific use(s).
Medi-Cal Drug Formulary may be obtained by ordering the Pharmacy Provider Manual from:
Computer Sciences Corporation P.O. BOX 15000 Sacramento, CA 95813 Attn: Distribution (Please remit $3.25 per manual, including updates, by check or money order payable to "State of Cal iforni a")

C. Prescribing or Dispensing Limitations:
1. Quantity of Medication: This is flexible, but quantities should be consistent with the medical needs of the patient and may not exceed a 100-day supply except under certain circumstances. Many high volume and/or chronically used oral dosage forms of drugs are subject to minimum or maximum quantity limitations/or maximum frequency of billing controls.
2. Refills: A prescription refill can be dispensed after authorization by prescriber. Exception is allowed for refill of a reasonable quantity when prescriber is unavailable (pursuant to California law). Fee is prorated so that total fee (for authorized partial quantity and balance of the prescription after prescriber is contacted) does not exceed fee for same prescription when refilled as routine service.
3. Number of prescriptions: Number of formulary drugs not limited but overutilization limited by prepayment and postpayment controls. These controls include those mentioned in item 1 supported by onsite audit of provider files.
4. Prior Authorization: Approval may be obtained from a Medi-Cal consultant for covered non-formuiary items or services (including special circumstance override of MAC type price ceilings or minimum quantity/frequency of billing limitations). Statewide

D. Prescription Charge Formula:
1. Reimbursement: Legend Drugs
Reimbursement for legend pharmaceuticals is the lowest of ( 1 ) maximum allowable cost (MAC) plus the professional fee, (2) estimated acquisition cost (EAC) plus the professional fee, or (3) that pharmacy's usual charge to the general public. The professional fee is currently $3.78 per prescription.
For prescriptions with ingredient costs exceeding $30, the Medicaid program will pay actual acquisition cost (AAC) instead of EAC, plus the professional fee.
2. Reimbursement: Non-Legend Drugs
Reimbursement for non-legend pharmaceuticals is the lower of ( 1 ) the pharmacy's usual charge to the general pub1 ic, or (2) EAC plus the professional fee.
3. Reimbursement: Compounded Drugs
Reimbursement for compounded pharmaceuticals, providing at least one legend drug is included in therapeutic quantity. However, in addition to the professional fee, compounding time may be reimbursed at the rate of $0.20 per minute, subject to review by the Drug Utilization Review Committee.
4. Reimbursement: Unit Dose
Due to increased costs involved in supplying medications in unit dose form, a higher professional fee (an additional $0.37 per prescription per month) is allowed for provider prepared unit dose packaging. The higher A.W.P. is allowed for manufacturer prepared unit dose packaging. Only those pharmacies supplying long-term care inpatients with acceptable unit dose delivery systems may qua1 i fy.
For Medicaid reiembursement purposes, an acceptable unit dose system is one in which:
a. Pharmacists maintain medication profiles on each patient and refer to these profiles each time a medication order is filled. The profiles must indicate drug allergies and current diagnoses.

Medicaid Personal Physician Plan (MP Plan) Demonstration Project
The New Jersey Medicaid Program has implemented a four-year Statewide Competition Demonstration Project, called the Medicaid Personal Physician Plan (MP Plan), which will provide medical care in a manner different from the present Medicaid system. The Plan is classified as a Primary Care Network or a health care delivery system whereby all of the Medicaid elibible's health care is obtained through, but not necessarily from, a single primary care provider. It was developed under guidelines established by the Health Care Financing Administration for funding which led to the inclusion of the following key elements:
( 1 ) a primary care physician who would be responsible for the provision of all primary care delivery, referral, and ancillary services for non- institutional Medicaid eligibles;
(2) a capitation system of reimbursement, instead of fee-for-service, for a physician participating in the Plan as a Physician Case Manager (PCM);
( 3 ) a broker concept for marketing, enrollment, grievance system and quality asurance monitoring and Plan reporting functions;
(4) the stimulation of competition among certain types of Medicaid providers by providing strengthened alternatives to primary care in the hospital Emergency Room (ER) and Outpatient Department setting (OPD).
The role of Physician Case Manager has potential to (1) discourage doctor shopping, self-referral, and inappropriate and excessive utilization of Medicaid eligible services and (2) to effect better control over almost 500 million dollars of New Jersey Medicaid's total expenditures annually without reducing quality or scope of care provided. This concept of the Physician Case Manager controlling costs has received wide support throughout the country since this role negates the need for increased government regulation and harsh budget caps.
The MP Plan will be phased in throughout the State over a four-year period, or sooner if feasible. It will be implemented first in Morris, Sussex and Warren counties. Participating providers may be in solo practice; group practice; professional corporation or association; health maintenance organization (HMO); independent, free-standing clinic; or in a hospital affiliated entity which allows for primary care services and is not subject to DRG reimbursement principles.
NPC New Jersey - 7 1983
Miscellaneous Remarks (continued):
The participation ofphysicians and Medicaid eligibles in the Demonstration Project is voluntary. A physician may participate in the MP Plan and continue to participate in the current Medicaid Program under the usual conditions.
