NACDD is working closely with the Consortium for Citizens with Disabilities (CCD) and Senator Norm Coleman (R-MN) to introduce legislation that would impose a moratorium on implementation of the Targeted Case Management rule. This interim final regulation strays well beyond congressional intent and jeopardizes case management services for many vulnerable Medicaid populations.
