The procedure must be in writing and the provider agency must provide the consumer with a copy of the grievance procedure at the time services begin and must assist the consumer in submitting a grievance, if requested.

For purposes of this subdivision, a provider agency may limit its assistance to referral of the consumer to another agency, organization, or individual that can advocate for or represent the consumer during the grievance process.
