Rule 22-A3408 - ENROLLMENT INTO AND AUTHORIZATION OF MHRS

3408.1

Enrollment is the process by which the Department ascertains a consumer's eligibility for MHRS, and, if eligible for services, adds a consumer to the MHRS system of care and assigns them to an MHRS provider.

3408.2

No later than seven (7) calendar days after enrollment, the MHRS provider shall conduct an intake appointment with the consumer. This is a face-to- face encounter that initiates the process for securing consent to treatment.

3408.3

If the MHRS provider is unable to contact the consumer, the provider shall document all steps taken in the consumer's clinical record.

3408.4

As part of the service authorization process, the Department may review the consumer's Plan of Care or other clinical material if additional clinical information is required in order to evaluate a consumer's needs and whether MHRS are medically necessary.
