DISCUSSION
The TCM Program is a federally funded program that allows certain county departments and non-profit agencies to receive partial reimbursement for case management services they provide to clients, utilizing allowable non-federal matching funds. The goal of TCM is to assist individuals in a defined target population to gain access to needed medical, social, educational, and other services. The basic components of TCM are a comprehensive assessment, development of an individualized service plan, linkage and consultation information, assistance with accessing services, crisis assistance planning, and periodic reviews.
The Shasta County Health and Human Service Agency (HHSA) Public Health Branch (Public Health) serves as the TCM “Local Governmental Agency” for Shasta County to oversee and coordinate all facets of TCM including receiving and disbursing funds and contracting with participating entities such as Shasta County Child Abuse Prevention Council (CAPCC) who currently is contracted with HHSA to provide TCM eligible services. Approval of the “Medi-Cal Targeted Case Management Provider Participation Agreement” will allow Public Health to continue in this capacity. |
