Policy modification to targeted case management (TCM) services that temporarily allow phone and video visits in place of in-person, face-to-face contact will remain in effect until the federal public health emergency ends. For more information on the TCM waiver (CV-24) please refer to Bulletin 21-69-04 and the MHCP Provider Manual.
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services extends the federal public health emergency (PHE) in 90-day periods. Human Services (HHS) Secretary Xavier Becerra renewed the national declaration of a COVID-19 Public Health Emergency (PHE). This renewed declaration became effective October 13, 2022. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) has committed to notifying states 60 days before the federal PHE ends.
When the federal PHE ends, the TCM waiver (CV-24) will end, and Minnesota Statute 256B.0625, subd. 20b will go into effect allowing interactive video to meet minimum face-to-face contact requirements for TCM services, except for children in continuous out of placement or receiving case management for child protection reasons. DHS will provide guidance on any new TCM interactive standards prior to their effective date.

When HHS notifies us that the federal PHE ends (60 days before the PHE end date), we will communicate the update to providers.
