Case Management

Case Management Services provide support for individuals who are supported in the Self-Determination Waiver.  Services include ongoing assessment, development, evaluation and revision of the plan of care, assistance with the selection of service providers, provision of general education about the waiver program, including individual rights and responsibilities and monitoring implementation of the plan of care and initiating individualized corrective actions as necessary (e.g. reporting, referring or appealing to appropriate entities). The Self-Determination Waiver is currently closed and is no longer taking new enrollments. 

Case Managers

  • Assist the person with annual redeterminations
  • Assist the individual and family with services planning
  • Assist the individual in accessing needed services
  • Monitor the delivery of services to ensure they meet the needs and expectations of the person
  • Assist the person in resolving issues of concern including filing appeals, accessing complaint resolution processes, etc.
  • Maintain regular contact with the individual and/or family and involved service providers

Independent Support Coordination

DIDD contracts with multiple agencies to provide Case Management services to individuals enrolled in the Statewide or Comprehensive Aggregate Capped Waiver. These case managers are called Independent Support Coordinators and do the same kind of job that state case managers perform.

Requirements for Independent Support Coordination agencies and Independent Support Coordinators can be found in the our Provider Manual.


Person-Centered Support Plan

A plan of care is required for all Medicaid waiver participants. The Person-Centered Support Plan (PCSP) is Tennessee’s format for the federally required plan of care. The PCSP is the roadmap for implementing services that meet a person supported ’s unique needs. The PCSP also serves as the vehicle for justifying the person supported’s need for services so that services can be authorized by DIDD Regional Offices. The PCSP is designed to clearly describe needs and the services and supports required to meet those needs.

Each PCSP must be submitted for review by DIDD staff prior to its effective date. This review process ensures that the plan meets basic requirement, addresses the person’s needs, and supports the need for the services being requested.

Once this review process is completed, DIDD staff will authorize services. They may authorize all services requested, some of the services requested, or none of the services requested. Some services may be partially approved. That means that they may be approved but for fewer hours than requested. If any service is denied or only partially approved, the person has the right to appeal this decision and have a hearing with an Administrative Law Judge.
