Money Follows the Person

The following is a 2004, date of original policy, regarding the principles of "Money Follows the Person" (MFP). This is the term given to the concepts for individual receiving Medicaid services, or for the purposes of child welfare, Targeted Case Management Services.

What is really entertaining about this 2004 policy is, not just the title, MFP, but the state examples of initiatives.

Here is an excellent example of a summative evaluation, utilizing the MFP technique looking at Targeted Case Management services.
