Child Welfare -Targeted Case Management (CW-TCM)

Child Welfare – Targeted Case Management (CW-TCM) is a Medicaid-reimbursable service available to certified counties, Tribes, and their contracted vendors.

CW – TCM activities coordinate social and other services designed to help children under 21 years old and their families gain access to needed social services, mental health services, habilitative services, educational services, health services, vocational services, recreational services and related services including, but not limited to, volunteer services, advocacy, transportation and legal services.

Case management services include developing an individual service plan, helping children and their families obtain needed services through coordination with other agencies and assuring continuity of care. Case managers must assess the delivery, appropriateness and effectiveness of services on a regular basis. (Minnesota Statutes 256B.094, subdivision 1)
