Conflict Free Case Management
Case management is required for all Medicaid Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) participants with Intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD) and Elders and Adults with Disabilities (EAD) who receive Medicaid Long-Term Services and Supports (LTSS) at home or in the community-based setting. Case management is a service utilized to empower participants to make informed decisions about their care and protect all participants’ health and safety. All participants have the right to choose who they would like their CFCM Service Agency to be. The case manager will assist the participant in developing their person-centered plan and coordinate and monitor the implementation of that plan.
Eligibility
A person is eligible for Medicaid LTSS if they meet both financial and clinical eligibility criteria established in the State’s Medicaid State Plan.
