Common use of WICT Functions Clause in Contracts

WICT Functions. The WICT must work collaboratively with members, their providers, and their caregivers to accomplish shared goals across medical, mental and behavioral health, and other settings to achieve coordinated, high-quality care. At a minimum, the WICT Core Team must meet weekly, preferably face-to-face, to discuss their entire shared case load. While the WICT Core Team must meet weekly the level of discussion on each member may vary. The WICT Core Team must have regular opportunities to staff difficult cases with a larger, multidisciplinary WICT Team. At a minimum, a team member of the WICT Core Team must meet once a month face-to-face with the member to discuss the member’s care. The face-to-face meeting with the WICT member may be completed by a community- based case manager if the case manager has a close, collaborative relationship with the WICT Core Team that is demonstrated in the member’s care plan and includes reciprocal communication between the WICT Core Team and the community-based case manager. It is expected that members will transition from the WICT to a lower intensity of ongoing care management as they become more stable; members may need to return to the WICT in the future if their needs change. The WICT is intended to be a short-term, intensive intervention. The Department will conduct a chart review for any member enrolled in the WICT for more than 12 months.
