TRANSFORMING MATERNAL HEALTH (TMAH) MODEL - THE LOUISIANA DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH (LDH) BUREAU OF HEALTH SERVICES FINANCING (BHSF), WHICH SERVES AS THE STATE MEDICAID AGENCY FOR LOUISIANA, REQUESTS $17,000,000 IN ORDER TO IMPLEMENT THE TRANSFORMING MATERNAL HEALTH (TMAH) MODEL IN A TEST REGION (“LA MATERNAL CARE TRANSFORMATION ZONE”) THAT IS COMPRISED OF CALDWELL, EAST CARROLL, FRANKLIN, JACKSON, LINCOLN, MADISON, MOREHOUSE, OUACHITA, RICHLAND, TENSAS, UNION, WEST CARROLL, EAST BATON ROUGE, EAST FELICIANA, IBERVILLE, POINTE COUPEE, WEST BATON ROUGE, AND WEST FELICIANA PARISHES (COUNTIES) OVER A TEN-YEAR GRANT PERIOD. THE COMPARABLE REGION WILL INCLUDE ORLEANS, ST. BERNARD, PLAQUEMINES, BIENVILLE, BOSSIER, CADDO, CLAIBORNE, DESOTO, NATCHITOCHES, RED RIVER, SABINE, AND WEBSTER PARISHES (COUNTIES). THESE TEST AND COMPARISON REGIONS ARE SIMILARLY SITUATED WITH REGARDS TO BIRTH VOLUME, RACIAL AND ECONOMIC CHARACTERISTICS AND AVAILABILITY OF SERVICES. LDH REQUESTS $8 MILLION TO ACCOMPLISH ACTIVITIES DURING THE PRE-IMPLEMENTATION PERIOD (MODEL YEARS 1-3), AND $9 MILLION DURING THE IMPLEMENTATION PERIOD (MODEL YEARS 4-10). GIVEN THAT APPROXIMATELY 60% OF ALL BIRTHS IN LOUISIANA ARE COVERED THROUGH MEDICAID, A COMPLETE TRANSFORMATION OF LOUISIANA’S FRAGMENTED SYSTEM OF CARE IS NECESSARY TO IMPROVE MATERNAL HEALTH CARE AND BIRTH OUTCOMES WHILE REDUCING HEALTH DISPARITIES FOR ALL. THE LDH WILL BUILD ON EXISTING EFFORTS OVER THE GRANT PERIOD IN ORDER TO IMPLEMENT THE TMAH MODEL IN THE LA MATERNAL CARE TRANSFORMATION ZONE WITH FIDELITY IN ORDER TO SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCE MATERNAL AND INFANT MORTALITY AND INCREASE ACCESS TO COORDINATED, HIGH QUALITY PERINATAL CARE. SPECIFICALLY, THE LDH WILL LEVERAGE TMAH FUNDING TO: 1) IMPROVE ITS DATA INFRASTRUCTURE TO BEST MEET THE NEEDS OF STAKEHOLDERS AND STRATEGICALLY ADDRESS GAPS IN MATERNAL HEALTH CARE, 2) INCREASE HOME MONITORING OF DIABETES AND HYPERTENSION; AND 3) INCREASE RISK-ASSESSMENT, SCREENING, REFERRALS, AND FOLLOW UP FOR PERINATAL DEPRESSION, ANXIETY, SUBSTANCE USE DISORDER, AND HEALTH RELATED SOCIAL NEEDS (HRSNS). IN PARTNERSHIP WITH CMS, LDH WILL MEASURE THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE TMAH MODEL ON IMPROVING MATERNAL HEALTH OUTCOMES IN THE LA MATERNAL CARE TRANSFORMATION ZONE IN COMPARISON WITH A SIMILARLY SITUATED LOUISIANA REGION. BOTH THE LA MATERNAL CARE TRANSFORMATION ZONE AND COMPARISON REGION HAVE ABOUT 11,000 BIRTHS ANNUALLY. JUST UNDER 50% OF BIRTHS IN EACH REGION ARE TO BLACK WOMEN, WHILE ABOUT 40% ARE TO WHITE WOMEN. ABOUT 10% OF BIRTHS IN EACH REGION ARE TO PEOPLE WHO IDENTIFY AS NEITHER BLACK NOR WHITE. BOTH THE TEST AND COMPARISON REGIONS CONTAIN SEVERAL PARISHES THAT ARE IDENTIFIED BY THE MARCH OF DIMES IN A 2021 REPORT AS MATERNITY CARE DESERTS OR AREAS OF LOW ACCESS. (TEST REGION: CALDWELL, FRANKLIN, JACKSON, RICHLAND, TENSAS, UNION, WEST CARROLL PARISHES; COMPARISON REGION: DESOTO, SABINE, BIENVILLE, PLAQUEMINES AND ST. BERNARD PARISHES). BOTH THE TEST AND COMPARISON REGION HAVE SIGNIFICANT RACIAL DISPARITIES IN PERINATAL HEALTH OUTCOMES AND BOTH HAVE OUTCOMES SIGNIFICANTLY WORSE THAN THE NATIONAL AVERAGE.

LOUISIANA MEDICAID INFRASTRUCTURE GRANT PROJECT

THIS BROADBAND USE AND ADOPTION PROJECT PROPOSES TO ADDRESS KEY CHALLENGES CONFRONTING THE TUNICA-BILOXI TRIBE IN EXPANDING ACCESS TO BROADBAND SERVICES WHILE ALSO INCREASING DIGITAL LITERACY AMONG ITS TRIBAL CITIZENS. THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE PROJECT IS EXPECTED TO ENABLE BROADBAND ADOPTION ACTIVITIES, INCLUDING TELEHEALTH, DISTANCE LEARNING, AFFORDABLE BROADBAND PROGRAMS, AND DIGITAL INCLUSION EFFORTS.

TUNICA-BILOXI BEHAVIORAL HEALTH INTEGRATION INITIATIVE - THE TUNICA-BILOXI TRIBE IS SEEKING FUNDING UNDER THE INDIAN HEALTH SERVICE’S (I.H.S.) BEHAVIORAL HEALTH INTEGRATION INITIATIVE (BH2I) TO SUPPORT INTEGRATION OF THE TRIBE’S BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES AND CAPACITIES WITH PRIMARY CARE AND COMMUNITY BASED SERVICES OF THE TRIBE AND OTHER COMMUNITY PARTNERS. BEHAVIORAL HEALTH DISEASE RATES AND CO-MORBIDITIES FOR TUNICA-BILOXI ARE ELEVATED WHEN COMPARED TO NATIONAL AVERAGES, EXPERIENCING INCREASED BEHAVIORAL HEALTH DISEASE RATES AND CO-MORBIDITIES. ACCORDING TO THE LOUISIANA DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH, NON-MEDICAL PRESCRIPTION DRUG USE AMONG TUNICA-BILOXI TRIBAL MEMBERS IS ESTIMATED AT 15.9%; WHILE ILLICIT DRUG USE IS APPROXIMATELY 18.4% FOR TRIBAL MEMBERS LIVING ON THE RESERVATION FOR 2020. THIS GREATLY EXCEEDS THE NATIONAL AVERAGE AS WELL AS THE AVERAGE AMONG AMERICAN INDIANS PER SAMHSA’S 2017 NATIONAL SURVEY ON DRUG USE HEALTH. SIMILARLY, ALCOHOL ABUSE AMONG TUNICA-BILOXI TRIBAL ADULTS IS 22.4% PER THE TUNICA-BILOXI SOCIAL SERVICES DEPARTMENT, WHICH IS ABOVE THE NATIONAL AVERAGE AND JUST BELOW THE AVERAGE FOR AI/AN POPULATIONS. OTHER TRIBAL SURVEY DATA HAS DEMONSTRATED THAT TUNICA-BILOXI HAS A HIGH PREVALENCE OF DEPRESSION, AUTISM, ATTENTION DEFICIT (HYPERACTIVITY) DISORDER, AND POST-TRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER. IT IS KNOWN THAT WHEN ONE BEHAVIORAL HEALTH DISPARITY OCCURS, OTHER DISPARITIES GO UNTREATED. THE 2019 SAMHSA NATIONAL SURVEY ON DRUG USE AND HEALTH, FOUND THAT APPROXIMATELY 34.5% OF YOUTH AGED 16 TO 25 THAT WERE DIAGNOSED WITH A MENTAL HEALTH ISSUE ALSO HAVE A SUBSTANCE ABUSE DISORDER THAT WAS NOT TREATED. COLLECTIVELY, THESE MEASURES HIGHLIGHT THE UNIQUE CONSTELLATION OF BEHAVIORAL HEALTH DISPARITIES THAT CONTRIBUTE TO POOR HEALTH OUTCOMES FOR TUNICA-BILOXI CITIZENS. AN INTEGRATED APPROACH TO BEHAVIORAL HEALTHCARE, CAN ASSIST IN ADDRESSING MANY OF THESE ISSUES. INTEGRATING BEHAVIORAL HEALTHCARE SERVICES THROUGH THE BH2I PROGRAM WILL ALLOW THE TRIBE TO ACHIEVE THE BELOW KEY GOALS: 1. IMPROVE CARE COORDINATION OF BEHAVIORAL HEALTHCARE WITH INTERNAL AND LOCAL PARTNERS 2. EXPAND BEHAVIORAL HEALTH CARE SERVICES THROUGH THE USE OF CULTURALLY APPROPRIATE EVIDENCE-BASED (EBP) AND PRACTICE-BASED MODELS LIKE TRAUMA-INFORMED CARE TO ADDRESS SUBSTANCE ABUSE ISSUES. 3. IMPROVE BEHAVIORAL HEALTHCARE INFRASTRUCTURE

THE TUNICA-BILOXI TRIBE SEEKS TO ENHANCE ITS CAPACITY TO PROVIDE CASE MANAGEMENT SERVICES THAT SERVE AS A SINGLE POINT OF CONTACT IN A CHILD'S CARE, EFFECTIVELY LINKING YOUTH AND FAMILIES TO A WIDE RANGE OF AVAILABLE SERVICES BOTH ON THE RESERVATION AND WITHIN THE SURROUNDING COMMUNITY. RECOGNIZING THAT EVERY CHILD HAS UNIQUE NEEDS, THE TRIBE AIMS TO OFFER INDIVIDUALIZED CARE AND PLANNING TO HELP FAMILIES NAVIGATE COMPLEX SYSTEMS OF SUPPORT. A DEDICATED CASE MANAGEMENT COORDINATOR WOULD STREAMLINE ACCESS TO SERVICES, OFFERING FAMILIES CRITICAL SUPPORT THAT PROMOTES STABILITY AND WELL-BEING. AS PART OF THIS EFFORT, THE TUNICA-BILOXI YOUTH COORDINATOR WILL PLAY A CENTRAL ROLE IN WORKING DIRECTLY WITH TRIBAL YOUTH BY DELIVERING AFTER-SCHOOL PROGRAMMING, PROVIDING CASE MANAGEMENT, AND CONDUCTING COMMUNITY OUTREACH TO INCREASE YOUTH ENGAGEMENT.

MATERNAL OPIOID MISUSE MODEL

TUNICA-BILOXI TRIBAL OPIOID RESPONSE PROJECT - THE TUNICA-BILOXI TRIBE OF LOUISIANA IS SEEKING FUNDING UNDER SAMHSA’S TRIBAL OPIOID RESPONSE PROGRAM TO ENHANCE ITS SUBSTANCE ABUSE PROGRAM, SPECIFICALLY OPIOID TREATMENT AND PREVENTION. THE TUNICA-BILOXI TRIBE OF LOUISIANA IS ONE OF FOUR FEDERALLY RECOGNIZED TRIBES IN LOUISIANA AND HAS BEEN A FEDERALLY RECOGNIZED TRIBE SINCE 1981. THERE ARE OVER 1,600 ENROLLED TUNICA-BILOXI TRIBAL MEMBERS. APPROXIMATELY 40% LIVE EITHER ON OR NEAR THE RESERVATION AND DESIGNATED TRIBAL LANDS LOCATED IN CENTRAL LOUISIANA. ALTHOUGH THE AVERAGE HOUSEHOLD INCOME FOR TUNICA-BILOXI TRIBAL MEMBERS IS $18,518 (LOUISIANA WORKFORCE COMMISSION 2017 LABOR STATISTICS), NEARLY 50% OF TRIBAL HOUSEHOLDS FALL IN THE LOW-TO-MODERATE INCOME RANGE BASED ON U.S. DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT LMI HOUSEHOLD DATA (HOUSEHOLD INCOME LESS THAN $23,850 FOR A FAMILY OF FOUR) WHICH LIMITS ACCESS TO HEALTHCARE AND SUBSTANCE ABUSE TREATMENT SERVICES. WITH A SUBSTANCE ABUSE RATE OF 15.7% AMONG AMERICAN INDIANS NATIONALLY AND AN ILLICIT SUBSTANCE ABUSE RATE OF 22.4% (AMONG TUNICA-BILOXI TRIBAL MEMBERS BETWEEN THE AGES OF 16-35), IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT THE TUNICA-BILOXI TRIBE OF LOUISIANA PROVIDE COMPREHENSIVE OPIOID ABUSE ABATEMENT PROGRAM. UNDER THE CURRENT TUNICA-BILOXI SUBSTANCE ABUSE PROGRAM, TRIBAL MEMBERS SEEKING ASSISTANCE ARE ABLE TO ACCESS TREATMENT AND SUPPORT SERVICES DURING THE RECOVERY PROCESS. ALTHOUGH THIS PROGRAM HAS BEEN AROUND FOR THREE YEARS AND HAS HELPED MANY TRIBAL MEMBERS, MANY MORE TRIBAL MEMBERS SUFFER FROM OPIOID ABUSE ISSUES. FURTHERMORE, WITH THE RISE OF PRESCRIPTION DRUG ABUSE SUCH OPIOIDS AND BENZOS, MANY TRIBAL MEMBERS ARE BECOMING ADDICTED TO LEGAL DRUGS INCLUDING TRIBAL YOUTH. DUE TO DRUG ARRESTS THAT HAVE BEEN MADE ON THE RESERVATION INVOLVING OPIOIDS, THE RATE OF SUBSTANCE ABUSE CASES ON THE RESERVATION HAS INCREASED BY 9% FROM 2016 TO 2020 (TUNICA-BILOXI TRIBAL POLICE DEPARTMENT). THE KEY GOALS OF THE TUNICA-BILOXI SUBSTANCE ABUSE PROGRAM ARE TO: 1. DECREASE THE RATE OF OPIOID AND SUBSTANCE ABUSE AMONG TUNICA-BILOXI TRIBAL MEMBERS BY PROVIDING COMPREHENSIVE, CULTURALLY APPROPRIATE, WRAP AROUND SUBSTANCE ABUSE TREATMENT SERVICES TO TRIBAL MEMBERS WITHIN OUR SERVICE AREA; AND 2. INCREASE ACCESS TO MENTAL HEALTH AND COUNSELING SERVICES AVAILABLE TO TRIBAL MEMBERS WITH OPIOID AND SUBSTANCE ABUSE ADDICTIONS.

TUNICA-BILOXI TRIBAL OPIOID RESPONSE PROGRAM - THE TUNICA-BILOXI SAP AIMS TO REDUCE THE INCIDENCE OF SUBSTANCE ABUSE, ESPECIALLY OPIOID ABUSE ALONG WITH CO-OCCURRING MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES AMONG TRIBAL MEMBERS. THROUGH THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE TRIBAL OPIOID RESOURCE GRANT, THE TUNICA-BILOXI TRIBE INTENDS TO BUILD INTERNAL CAPACITY AND GROW EXTERNAL PARTNERSHIPS TO EDUCATE AND TRAIN STAFF THAT ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR OPIOID AND SUBSTANCE ABUSE TREATMENT AND PREVENTION IN USING CULTURALLY APPROPRIATE SERVICES WHEN TREATING NATIVE AMERICANS THAT INVOLVE EVIDENCE-BASED PRACTICES. THE TRIBAL RESERVATION IS IN AVOYELLES PARISH (COUNTY); AND THE TRIBAL CATCHMENT AREA INCLUDES BOTH AVOYELLES PARISH AND THE NEIGHBORING PARISH OF RAPIDES. THERE ARE 1,580 ENROLLED TUNICA-BILOXI TRIBAL MEMBERS. APPROXIMATELY 42% LIVE EITHER ON OR NEAR THE RESERVATION AND DESIGNATED TRIBAL LANDS LOCATED IN CENTRAL LOUISIANA. ALTHOUGH THE AVERAGE HOUSEHOLD INCOME FOR TUNICA-BILOXI TRIBAL MEMBERS IS $18,518 (LOUISIANA WORKFORCE COMMISSION 2017 LABOR STATISTICS), NEARLY 50% OF TRIBAL HOUSEHOLDS FALL IN THE LOW-TO-MODERATE INCOME RANGE BASED ON U.S. DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT LMI HOUSEHOLD DATA (HOUSEHOLD INCOME LESS THAN $23,850 FOR A FAMILY OF FOUR) WHICH LIMITS ACCESS TO HEALTHCARE AND SUBSTANCE ABUSE TREATMENT SERVICES. BASED ON REQUESTS FOR TREATMENT SERVICES FROM TRIBAL MEMBERS, POLICE DEPARTMENT ARRESTS AND CALLS, COMMUNITY INTERACTION BY THE SOCIAL SERVICES DEPARTMENT, AND COMMUNITY COMPLAINTS, SUBSTANCE ABUSE HAS BEEN DEEMED AN IMPORTANT ISSUE FOR OUR COMMUNITY. TRIBAL MEMBERS FACING SUBSTANCE ABUSE ISSUES ARE IN DESPERATE NEED OF BOTH CULTURALLY APPROPRIATE TREATMENT SERVICES AND SUPPORTIVE SERVICES. THE USE OF PRESCRIPTION DRUGS, OPIOIDS, BENZODIAZEPINES AND METHAMPHETAMINES IS ESPECIALLY PREVALENT AMONG TRIBAL MEMBERS IN OUR COMMUNITY. ACCORDING TO THE TRIBAL POLICE DEPARTMENT, NON-MEDICAL PRESCRIPTION DRUG USE AMONG TUNICA-BILOXI TRIBAL MEMBERS IS 8.3%; WHILE ILLICIT DRUG USE IS APPROXIMATELY 22.4% (TUNICA-BILOXI SOCIAL SERVICES DEPARTMENT). THESE RATES GREATLY EXCEED THE NATIONAL AVERAGE AS WELL AS THE NATIONAL AVERAGE AMONG AMERICAN INDIANS PER THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES OFFICE OF SUBSTANCE ABUSE AND MENTAL HEALTH ADMINISTRATION. THIS PROJECT WILL SERVE OVER 100 TRIBAL MEMBERS THROUGH DIRECT SERVICES AND OUTREACH EFFORTS. GOAL NUMBER 1: DECREASE THE RATE OF OPIOID AND SUBSTANCE ABUSE AMONG TUNICA-BILOXI TRIBAL MEMBERS BY PROVIDING COMPREHENSIVE, CULTURALLY APPROPRIATE, WRAP AROUND SUBSTANCE ABUSE TREATMENT SERVICES TO TRIBAL MEMBERS WITHIN OUR SERVICE AREA. IN ADDITION, ENSURE THAT TRIBAL YOUTH HAVE ACCESS TO SUBSTANCE ABUSE TREATMENT SERVICES. GOAL 2. INCREASE ACCESS TO MENTAL HEALTH AND COUNSELING SERVICES AVAILABLE TO TRIBAL MEMBERS WITH OPIOID AND SUBSTANCE ABUSE ADDICTIONS. THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT WILL PROVIDE SUBSTANCE ABUSE COUNSELING SERVICES TO A MINIMUM OF 8 TRIBAL MEMBERS WITH CO-OCCURRING SUBSTANCE ABUSE AND MENTAL HEALTH DISORDERS. THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT WILL PROVIDE OR REFER MENTAL HEALTH COUNSELING SERVICES TO TRIBAL MEMBERS WITH SUBSTANCE ABUSE ADDICTIONS THAT LACK ADEQUATE ACCESS TO SERVICES. IN ADDITION, THE SAP WILL PROVIDE COMPREHENSIVE CASE MANAGEMENT SERVICES TO TRIBAL MEMBERS RECEIVING SUBSTANCE/ALCOHOL ABUSE SERVICES TO SUPPORT RECOVERY. WITH INCREASED ACCESS TO COUNSELING SERVICES, TRIBAL MEMBERS WILL BE ABLE TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF OUT-PATIENT TREATMENT SERVICES.
