Vision Principle: Thriving Neighborhoods and a Sense of Community. Background: . The Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Services (DBHDS) will issue a one-time payment of $5,246.00 to the Part C program as a one-time additional funding during SFY 2012 to mitigate expected revenue loss. DBHDS has calculated this revenue loss based on the difference between the targeted case management revenue for 2010 and the projected annual revenue under the new Early Intervention Targeted Case Management program (EI TCM). Discussion: . The new case management program significantly expands the number of children whose case management will be covered by Medicaid, but the reimbursement rate under the new EI TCM is less than that paid under existing targeted case management programs. . In an effort to address additional monies needed across the board for FY 2012, DBHDS developed this one-time funding plan.
