Series: Medicaid Targeted Case Management

Announced on  | Last Modified on  | Series Number: W-00-24-31082

OBJECTIVE

The Social Security Act, § 1915(g)(2), defines case management services as those assisting individuals eligible under the State plan in gaining access to needed medical, social, educational, and other services. Case management services do not include the direct delivery of an underlying medical, educational, social, or other service for which an eligible individual has been referred. Payments for case management services may not duplicate payments made to public agencies under other program authorities for the same service. Prior OIG work in one State identified 18 percent of such claims as unallowable, with an additional 20 percent as potentially unallowable. We will determine whether Medicaid payments for targeted case management services in selected States were made in accord with Federal requirements.

We recommend that the Alabama Medicaid Agency improve TCM program oversight by giving additional guidance to TCM providers regarding: billing of services, to verify that they are allowable and nonduplicative; case manager hiring practices, to verify adherence with the State plan's qualification requirements; target group eligibility screening processes, so that only eligible individuals receive TCM services; and the maintenance of supporting documentation for billed services.
