110 Mass. Reg. 7.125
At the time of placement, children will be provided with emergency medical/dental/mental health care if needed. If such care is necessary the social worker shall arrange for the provision of emergency care with an appropriate health care provider. If appropriate and if time permits, the social worker may delegate all or part of the responsibility for the procurement of emergency medical/dental/mental health treatment to the substitute care provider (i.e., foster/pre-adoptive parents, group care facility, etc). If the child does not have a medicaid card at the time of placement and requires emergency treatment, the social worker shall obtain a temporary Medicaid card to ensure the provision of needed treatment. Following the provision of emergency medical/dental/mental health treatment at time of placement, a record of such treatment shall be entered into the child's case record. When a "Medical Passport" is completed for this child, the social worker, in completing the relevant portions, shall make reference to the emergency treatment provided at placement.
