problems such as their PCP’s lack <strong>of</strong> accessibility or failure to<br />
make appropriate specialist referrals. The MCP’s EDD program<br />
must therefore also include the identification <strong>of</strong> providers who<br />
serve as PCPs for a substantial number <strong>of</strong> frequent ED utilizers <strong>and</strong><br />
the implementation <strong>of</strong> corrective action with these providers as so<br />
indicated.<br />
This requirement does not replace the MCP’s responsibility to<br />
inform <strong>and</strong> educate all members regarding the appropriate use <strong>of</strong><br />
the ED.<br />
b. Case Management Programs<br />

comprehensive case management services which coordinate <strong>and</strong> monitor<br />
the care <strong>of</strong> members with specific diagnoses, or who require high-cost<br />
<strong>and</strong>/or extensive services. The MCP’s comprehensive case management<br />
program must also include a Children with Special Health Care Needs<br />
component as specified below.<br />
i. Each MCP must inform all members <strong>and</strong> contracting providers <strong>of</strong><br />
the MCP’s case management services.<br />

chronic <strong>and</strong> complex medical health care conditions. In order to<br />
ensure compliance with the provisions <strong>of</strong> 42 CFR 438.208, each<br />
MCP must establish a CSHCN component as part <strong>of</strong> the MCP’s<br />
comprehensive case management program. The MCP must<br />
establish a process for the timely identification, completion <strong>of</strong> a<br />
comprehensive needs assessment, <strong>and</strong> providing appropriate <strong>and</strong><br />
targeted case management services for any CSHCN.<br />
CSHCN are defined as children age 17 <strong>and</strong> under who are<br />
