in New York City.
0810 - Case Management (Non-Medicaid)
Case management - Activities aimed at linking the patient to the service system and at
coordinating the various services in order to achieve a successful outcome. The objective of
case management in a mental health system is continuity of care and service. Services may
include linking, monitoring and case-specific advocacy.
Linking - The process of referring or transferring a patient to all required internal and
external services that include the identification and acquisition of appropriate service
resources.
Monitoring - Observation to assure the continuity of service in accordance with the patient's
treatment plan.
Case-Specific Advocacy - Interceding on behalf of a patient to assure to services required
in the individual service plan. Case management activities are expediting and coordinative in
nature rather than the primary treatment services ordinarily provided by the therapist.
Case management services are provided to enrolled patients for whom staff are assigned a
continuing case management responsibility. Thus, routine referrals would not be included
unless the staff member making the referral retains a continuing active responsibility for the
patient throughout the system of service.
Contract Budget Consistent reporting is required for this program. The same number of
columns used on the Consolidated Budget Report must be used on the CFR so that
reporting is consistent. The Program/Site Identification Number is created by using the first
four digits of the agency code and the last three digits of the program code. Where more
than one column will be created for this program code, the last digit of the Program/Site
Identification Number is increased by one.
Units of Service:
Direct staff hours - The number of staff hours spent by staff in providing case management
services face-to-face or by telephone directly to patients or collaterals.
Indirect staff hours - The number of staff hours spent by staff in providing case
management services on behalf of patients other than face-to-face or by telephone directly
with patients or collaterals.
