Limiting case mgt to 3 hrs/month is irrational. Such a limit defeats the purpose of Person Centered services and prevents case mgrs from doing their jobs. Inform your consumers & families of this planned cut and the negative impact it will have on their services. Encourage them to make their feelings/opinions known to the state by using the e-mail address below. Notifying their legislators or copying them their e-mails will also be very helpful.
