services furnished by a case manager to assist individuals eligible under the Medicaid
State plan in gaining access to and effectively using needed medical, social, educational,
and other services (such as housing or transportation) in accordance with 42 CFR
441.18. See also definition for Targeted Case Management.
(4) Centers for Medicare
and Medicaid Services (CMS) means the federal agency under the U.S. Department of
Health and Human Services that provides the federal funding for Medicaid and Children’s
Health Insurance Program (CHIP).

of age, including Indian children and children who are homeless and their families.
(9) Early childhood special
education (ECSE) means free, specially designed instruction to meet the unique needs
of a preschool child with a disability, three years of age until the age of eligibility
for public school, including instruction in physical education, speech-language
services, travel training, and orientation and mobility services. Instruction is
provided in any of the following settings: home, hospitals, institutions, special
schools, classrooms, and community childcare or preschool settings.

Childhood Special Education (EI/ECSE) services means services provided to a preschool
child with disabilities, eligible under the Individuals with Disabilities Education

(i.e., service coordinator) means an employee of the EI/ECSE contracting or subcontracting
agency meeting the personnel standards requirements in OAR 581-015-2900. The EI/ECSE

(FFP) means the portion paid by the federal government to states for their share
of expenditures for providing Medicaid services. FFP was created as part of the
Title XIX, Social Security Act of 1965. There are two objectives that permit claims

Percentage (FMAP) means the percentage of federal matching dollars available to
a state to provide Medicaid services. The FMAP is calculated annually based on a
three-year average of state per capita personal income compared to the national

effectively implemented.
(19) Oregon Health Plan (OHP)
means the Medicaid program in Oregon that is known as the OHP and governed by a
series of laws passed by the Oregon Legislature with the intention of providing
universal access to healthcare to Oregonians. OHP is also governed by many federal
laws.
(20) Reassessment means periodically
re-evaluating the eligible client to determine whether or not medical, social, educational,
or other services continue to be adequate to meet the goals and objectives identified
in the care plan. Reassessment decisions include those to continue, change, or terminate
TCM services. A reassessment must be conducted at least annually or more frequently
if changes occur in an eligible client’s condition; or when resources are
inadequate or the service delivery system is non-responsive to meet the client’s
identified service needs.
(21) Referral means performing
activities such as scheduling appointments that link the eligible client with medical,
social, or educational providers, or other programs and services, and follow-up
and documentation of services obtained.

Payment for Targeted Case Management Services Eligible for Federal Financial Participation
(1) This rule is to be used in conjunction with Targeted Case Management (TCM) rules 410-138-0000 through 410-138-0009 and 410-138-0390, and the Division of Medical Assistance Programs’ (Division) General Rules (chapter 410, division 120).
(2) The TCM services rules are designed to assist the TCM provider organization in matching state and federal funds for TCM services defined by Section 1915(g) of the Social Security Act, 42 USC § 1396n(g).
(3) Payment will be made to the TCM provider enrolled with the Oregon Health Authority (Authority) as a unit of government provider meeting the requirements set forth in the provider enrollment agreement.
(4) Signing the provider enrollment agreement sets forth the relationship between the State of Oregon, the Authority and the TCM provider and constitutes agreement by the TCM provider to comply with all applicable Authority rules, and federal and state laws and regulations.
(5) The TCM provider will bill according to administrative rules in chapter 410, division 138 and the TCM supplemental information. Payments will be made using the Medicaid Management Information System (MMIS) and the TCM provider will retain the full payment for covered services provided. The TCM provider must have a Trading Partner Agreement with the Authority prior to submission of electronic transactions.
(6) TCM authorized under these rules is a cost-sharing (Federal Financial Participation (FFP) matching) program in which the TCM provider as a public entity, unit of government, is responsible for paying the non-federal matching share of the amount of the TCM claims, calculated using the Federal Medical Assistance Percentage (FMAP) rates in effect during the quarter when the TCM claims will be paid:
(a) The TCM provider's non-federal matching share means the public funds share of the Medicaid payment amount. Pursuant to the Social Security Act, 42 CFR 433.51, public funds may be considered as the state's share in claiming federal financial participation, if the public funds meet the following conditions:
(A) The public funds are transferred to the Authority from public entities that are units of government;
(B) The public funds are not federal funds or they are federal funds authorized by federal law to be used to match other federal funds; and
(C) All sources of funds must be allowable under the Social Security Act 42 CFR 433 Subpart B;
(b) The unit of government TCM provider must pay the non-federal matching share to the Authority in accordance with OAR 410-120-0035.
(7) Before the Authority pays for TCM claims, the Authority must receive the corresponding local match payment as described in this rule. Failure to timely pay the non-federal matching funds to the Authority will delay payment and may require the TCM provider to resubmit the claims.
(8) The Authority will not be financially responsible for payment of any claim that the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) disallows under the Medicaid program. If the Authority has previously paid the TCM provider for any claim, which CMS disallows, the TCM provider must reimburse the Authority the amount of the claim that the Authority has paid to the TCM provider, less any amount previously paid by the unit of government TCM provider to the Authority for the non-federal match portion for that claim.
(9) Providers can only bill Medicaid for allowable activities in the TCM program, that assist individuals eligible under the Medicaid State plan to gain access to needed medical, social, educational, and other services. One or more of the following allowable activities must occur before billing:
(a) Assessment;
(b) Development of a care plan;
(c) Referral (including follow up); and
(d) Monitoring (including follow up).
(10) TCM claims must not duplicate payments made to:
(a) Public agencies or private entities for any other case management activities or direct services provided under the State Plan or the Oregon Health Plan (OHP), through fee for service, managed care, or other contractual arrangement, that meet the same need for the same client at the same point in time;
(b) A TCM provider by program authorities under different funding authority than the Oregon Health Plan, including but not limited to other public health funding;
(c) A TCM provider for administrative expenditures reimbursed under agreement with the Authority or any other program or funding source.
(11) Medicaid is only liable for the cost of otherwise allowable case management services if there are no other third parties liable to pay. However, while schools are legally liable to provide IDEA-related health services at no cost to eligible children, Medicaid reimbursement is available for these services because section 1903(c) of the Act requires Medicaid to be primary to the U.S. Department of Education for payment for covered Medicaid services furnished to a child with a disability. These services may include health services included in a child’s Individualized Education Program (IEP) or Individual Family Service Plan (IFSP) under the IDEA. Payment for those services that are included in the IEP or IFSP would not be available when those services are not covered Medicaid services.
(12) The Authority’s acceptance of cost data provided by provider organizations for the purpose of establishing rates paid for TCM services does not imply or validate the accuracy of the cost data provided.
(13) Reimbursement is subject to all rules and laws pertaining to federal financial participation.

(3) The TCM Programs are medical assistance programs operated by public health authorities, unit of government providers, or Federally Recognized Tribal Governments in Oregon who are enrolled as TCM providers with the Authority. Participation by providers is voluntary and subject to approval by the Authority and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). With the exception of the Federally Recognized Tribal Governments TCM programs, the TCM programs authorized under these rules are cost-sharing (Federal Financial Participation (FFP) matching) programs in which the TCM provider as a public entity, unit of government, must pay the non-federal matching share of the amount of the TCM claims.

(a) The TCM Asthma/Healthy Homes program improves access to needed services for eligible clients with poorly controlled asthma or a history of environmentally induced respiratory distress. The TCM Asthma/Health Homes program services include management of medical and non-medical services, which address medical, social, nutritional, educational, housing, environmental, and other needs. Home visits constitute an integral part of the delivery of TCM services, provided by a TCM Asthma/Healthy Homes case manager consistent with these rules;
(b) The TCM Babies First program improves access to needed medical and non-medical services, which address medical, social, educational, and other services for at risk infants and children through four years of age. The TCM CaCoon program improves access to needed medical, psychosocial, educational, and other services for infants, children, and youth through age twenty with specific diagnoses or very high risk factors. These clients are categorical eligibles covered by Medicaid and are at risk of poor health outcomes as outlined in OAR 410-138-0040, (Risk Criteria – Babies First/CaCoon). Home visits constitute a significant part of the delivery of targeted case management services, provided by a Babies First/CaCoon case manager consistent with these rules;
(c) The TCM Early Intervention/Early Childhood Special Education (EI/ECSE) program is a medical assistance program provided by enrolled EI/ECSE providers that meet the criteria approved by the State Superintendent of Public Instruction to administer the provision of EI and ECSE.

Targeted Case Management Program Billing Policy
(1) This rule is in effect for services rendered retroactive to July 1, 2009, except for the Targeted Case Management (TCM) Asthma Healthy/Homes Program, which is effective July 1, 2010.
(2) Reimbursement is based on cost-based rate methodology and subject to all rules and laws pertaining to federal financial participation. The Authority’s acceptance of cost data provided by provider organizations for the purpose of establishing rates paid for TCM services does not imply or validate the accuracy of the cost data provided.
(3) The cost-based rate will be derived by considering the following expenditures directly attributable to TCM staff:
(a) TCM staff salaries and other personnel expenses;
(b) Supervisory salaries and other personnel expenses;
(c) Administrative support salaries and other personnel expenses;
(d) Services and supply expenses;
(e) Various overhead expenditures, if not already considered in the indirect rate.
(4) The Division will accept a claim up to 12 months from the date of service. See provider rules 943-120-0340, (Claim and PHP Encounter Submission), and OAR 410-120-1300, (Timely Submission of Claims).
(5) Providers shall only bill for allowable activities in the TCM programs that assist individuals eligible under the Medicaid State Plan to gain access to needed medical, social, educational, housing, environmental, and other services.
(6) The Division may not allow duplicate payments to other public agencies or private entities under other program authorities for TCM services under the eligible client’s care plan. Medical services must be provided and billed separately from case management services. The Authority shall recover duplicate payments.
(7) The Division may not reimburse for TCM services if the services are case management services funded by Title IV-E or Title XX of the Social Security Act, federal or state funded parole and probation, or juvenile justice programs. These services must be billed separately.
(8) In general, the Medicaid program is the payer of last resort and a provider is required to bill other resources before submitting the claim to Medicaid. This requirement means that other payment sources, including other federal or state funding sources, must be used before the Authority may be billed for covered TCM services. However, the following exceptions apply to the requirement to pursue third party resources:
(a) For TCM Early Intervention /Early Childhood School Education (EI/ECSE) services provided under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), 1903(c) of the Social Security Act and 34CFR300.154 Methods of Ensuring Services make Medicaid/Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) primary payer before Oregon Department of Education (ODE) or the Educational Agency (EA), for a covered TCM EI/ECSE service provided to a Medicaid-eligible child receiving Service Coordination/Case Management pursuant to the Medicaid-eligible child’s Individualized Family Service Plan (IFSP), the services are documented as required under the TCM rules, and subject to the applicable reimbursement rate;
(b) If TCM EI/ECSE services are provided under Title V of the Social Security Act Maternal and Child Health Services Block Grant, Medicaid-covered TCM services provided by a Title V grantee are paid by Medicaid before the Title V funds;
(c) CMS recognizes that while public education agencies are required to provide IDEA services at no cost to eligible children, Medicaid reimbursement is available for these services because section 1903 (c) of the Social Security Act requires Medicaid to be primary to the U.S. Department of Education for payment of covered services that may also be considered special education, related services, or early intervention services, or services provided under IDEA.
(9) Any place of service is valid.
(10) Prior authorization is not required.
