Targeted Case Management (TCM) for the Homeless

The Division of Medicaid and Health Financing (DMHF) will amend Attachments 3.1-A and 3.1-B of the Medicaid State Plan to remove obsolete language regarding Targeted Case Management (TCM) for the homeless. This change is necessary because individuals who are homeless, eligible for Medicaid under the State Plan and are seriously mentally ill, receive TCM services based on a different section of the State Plan.

This State Plan Amendment (SPA 15-0004-UT) does not affect total annual expenditures for the Medicaid program.

The SPA is pending approval from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services and the proposed effective date is September 1, 2015.

A copy of this change may be obtained from Craig Devashrayee (801-538-6641), or by writing the Technical Writing Unit, Utah Department of Health, PO Box 143102, Salt Lake City, UT 84114-3102. Comments are welcome at the same address. Copies of the change are also available at local county health department offices.
