Reimbursement for services provided in an exempt psychiatric unit on behalf of an individual subject to care management is 50 percent of the per diem rate established in subdivision 67:16:03:06.06(3) if the following requirements are met:
(1) The care manager determined that the individual reached the individual's potential in the current setting or there is a recommendation through the care conference that the individual be transferred to long-term psychiatric care;(2) The care manager established a discharge date;(3) The care manager provided written notice of the established discharge date to the provider; and(4) Because no alternative placement was available, the care manager authorized the individual to remain in the unit beyond the established discharge date. This authorization does not constitute a change in the established discharge date. Services provided in an exempt unit that are not authorized by the care manager are not reimbursable.
