(d) The department shall establish as optional services a primary care case management system or a managed care organization contract in which certain eligible individuals are required to enroll and seek approval from a case manager or the managed care organization before receiving certain services. The purpose of a primary care case management system or managed care organization contract is to increase the use of appropriate primary and preventive care by medical assistance recipients while decreasing the unnecessary use of specialty care and hospital emergency department services. The department shall
(1) establish enrollment criteria and determine eligibility for services consistent with federal and state law; the department shall require recipients with multiple hospitalizations to enroll in a primary care case management system or with a managed care organization under this subsection, except that the department may exempt recipients with chronic, acute, or terminal medical conditions from the requirement under this paragraph;
(2) define the coordinated care services and the provider types eligible to participate as primary care providers;
(3) create a performance and quality reporting system; and
(4) integrate the coordinated care demonstration projects described under AS 47.07.039 and the demonstration projects described under AS 47.07.036(e) with the primary care case management system or managed care organization contract established under this subsection.
(e) The department shall provide the services set out in (a) and (b) of this section to an eligible person, notwithstanding the person's participation in an approved clinical trial. In this subsection, "approved clinical trial" has the meaning given in AS 21.42.415.
(f) When the department authorizes the purchase of durable medical equipment under this section, the department may require a recipient of medical assistance services to purchase used or refurbished durable medical equipment if used or refurbished durable medical equipment
(1) is available;
(2) is less expensive, including shipping, than new durable medical equipment of the same type;
(3) is able to withstand at least three years of use; and
(4) equally meets the needs of the recipient.
(g) In this section,
(1) "case management services for traumatic or acquired brain injury" means services furnished to assist individuals who reside in a community setting or who are transitioning to a community setting to gain access to needed medical, social, educational, and other available services;
(2) "durable medical equipment" means equipment that
(A) can withstand repeated use;
(B) is primarily and customarily used to serve a medical purpose;
(C) generally is not useful to an individual in the absence of an illness or injury; and
(D) is appropriate for use in the home, school, or community.
(3) "traumatic or acquired brain injury" has the meaning given in AS 47.80.529.
