Targeted Support Management

NOTE TO INSPECTOR: The word "iridium" on the pen's nib is not a brand: it's the name of the metal of which the nib is made. Thanks. Inky old fountain pen on a $100 bill.

The Office of Developmental Programs (ODP) has shared ODPANN 26-031. The purpose of this announcement is to inform stakeholders that rates effective July 1, 2026, for Supports Coordination funded through the Consolidated, Community Living, and Person/Family Directed Support (P/FDS) Waivers and TSM have been published as final in the Pennsylvania Bulletin, Volume 56, Number 10, published on Saturday, March 7, 2026.

To align payment with outcomes, beginning July 1, 2026, all SCOs will receive:

  • Monthly case rates for Consolidated and Community Living Waiver participants;
  • Monthly case rates for P/FDS Waiver participants and individuals who receive Intensive TSM;
  • A standard case rate for individuals receiving Standard TSM paid upon completion of an annual Individual Support Plan and upon completion of required mid-year monitoring; and
  • One flat fee-for-service rate that covers each individual’s initial person-centered planning and initial Individual Support Plan development.

Please view the announcement for more details.
