Abstract

This policy brief presents options for financing and delivering case management services to low-income and special-needs children in Medicaid. The analysis builds on a literature review of case management, a review of the legal underpinnings of Medicaid case management, and consultation with experts in the fields of health care finance and program operations. It aims to inform the policy community about the importance of case management for assuring the health and development of our youngest and most vulnerable children.
