Mental health case management services are advisory in nature. A restriction may not be placed on a qualified recipient's option to receive mental health case management services. Mental health case management services do not restrict or otherwise affect: Eligibility for Title XIX benefits or other available benefits or programs, except as limited by §E of this regulation; The freedom of a participant to select from all available services for which the participant is found to be eligible; or A participant’s free choice among qualified providers. Mental health case management providers may not bill the Program for: The direct delivery of an underlying medical, educational, social, or other service to which a participant has been referred; Activities integral to the administration of foster care programs; Activities not consistent with the definition of case management services under Section 6052 of the federal Deficit Reduction Act of 2005 (P.L. 109-171); Activities for which third parties are liable to pay; or Activities delivered as part of institutional discharge planning. Reimbursement may not be made for mental health case management services if the participant is receiving a comparable case management service under another Program authority. A participant's case manager may not be the participant's family member or a direct service provider for the participant.
