Service Stipulations and Limitations G-10

PURPOSE:

This policy identifies the limitations and stipulations for the provision of targeted case management (TCM) services to ensure compliance with all statues, regulations, and State policies.

POLICY:

Regardless of the employing agency, TCM services will be provided in an unbiased and conflict free service delivery environment and shall coordinate services to avoid duplication of efforts and delivery in accordance with K.S.A 30-63-32.

PROCEDURES:

1. TCMs must attest, annually, to Sedgwick County Developmental Disability Organization (SCDDO) that they do not provide any direct service within any intellectual and/or developmental disability (IDD) service provider. For the purpose of this policy “direct service” is defined as any service that would normally be performed by a direct support professional.
2. Each person shall have only one IDD TCM provider billing for services. If a person has an IDD TCM provider and a case manager for another system or waiver, the team shall determine a primary or lead case manager to coordinate all services.
3. TCMs may not be supervised by anyone responsible for the provision or supervision of direct services to any person. All community service providers (CSP) must report to SCDDO the current line of authority and supervision for TCM staff and all job responsibilities for the designated supervisor and any changes thereafter.
4. The TCM supervisor is responsible for notifying SCDDO Quality Assurance staff within 10 days when a TCM begins or ends employment at their organization to include dates and contact information.
5. TCM CSPs are responsible for ensuring TCMs have access to and complete all required trainings assigned in the designated SCDDO training system.
6. TCMs are expected to coordinate with other support networks to focus on opportunities for integrating care/services and collaboration to find innovative solutions.
