PURPOSE: This rule establishes criteria and procedures for admission of eligible individuals to a community psychiatric rehabilitation program.

1. (1) Prior to admitting any individual, community psychiatric rehabilitation (CPR) providers that have been awarded provisional certification may be required to submit documentation for clinical review.

   1. (A) The clinical review unit, within seven

2. (7) working days, either shall—

   1. 1. Determine that the individual is eligi-

ble for admission and authorize the appropriate services;

1. 2. Suspend eligibility determination and

prior authorization of services pending the receipt of requested additional information; or

1. 3. Determine that the individual is not

eligible for admission.

1. (B) No provisionally certified CPR provider shall admit any individual before approval is given by the clinical review unit.

1. (2) Prior to admitting or reauthorizing any individual for CPR services, all certified CPR providers and affiliates shall submit to the appropriate administrative agent or designee, the name of the person seeking services with basic demographic information, background, and historical information, if available and shall provide support to the person by arranging an appointment for an evaluation. The administrative agent or designee shall conduct an evaluation to determine that the individual is eligible for admission to the CPR provider and to determine whether the individual is among the priority populations of the division as specified in 9 CSR 30- 4.039(1)(A) and further defined in the Administrative Agent’s Service Area Agreements and Plans available from the Division of Comprehensive Psychiatric Services.

   1. (A) The administrative agent or designee within thirty (30) working days, shall—

      1. 1. Conduct a complete intake or annual

evaluation as set out in 9 CSR 30-4.035(7) and (18);

1. 2. For persons seeking admission to the

CPR services, provide or authorize emergency services and crisis intervention during the period prior to completion of the intake evaluation; and

1. 3. Forward to the referring agency and

the client—

1. A. Confirmation that the individual is

eligible to be admitted to the CPR program, and determine that the individual is among the priority populations of the division;

1. B. A determination that the individual

is not eligible for admission to the CPR program and a statement of the client’s rights of appeal; or

1. C. Confirmation that the individual is

eligible to be admitted to the CPR program, but has been determined not to be among the priority populations of the division and, therefore, is eligible for admission only after eligible priority clients have been admitted to the CPR program. A statement of the client’s right of appeal with regard to any finding that the individual is not in the priority population shall also be provided.

1. (B) If the administrative agent or designee confirms that the individual is eligible to be admitted to the CPR program and determines that the individual is among the priority populations of the division, then the individual shall be given an opportunity to select a CPR provider from among the CPR programs available in the service area. All eligible priority clients shall be provided the list of providers as set out in Appendix A.

   1. 1. The CPR provider selected by the

individual shall work with the individual to develop the individual treatment/rehabilitation plan.

1. 2. If an individual does not express a

CPR provider preference, then the individual will be admitted to the administrative agent’s, or the designee’s program.

1. (C) If the administrative agent or designee determines that the individual is not eligible to be admitted to the CPR program, then the individual shall be referred to other programs and services for which s/he may be eligible. The referral to other programs and services shall accompany the notice of appeal rights furnished the client as set out in 9 CSR 30- 4.042(2)(A)3.C.
2. (D) If the administrative agent or designee confirms that the individual is eligible to be admitted to the CPR program, but determines that the individual is not among the priority populations of the division, the administrative agent or designee may provide services as appropriate.
3. (E) An individual denied services because of the intake process shall have the right to appeal the decision to deny services to the 9 CSR 30-4

division director or his/her designee. This appeal shall be sent in written form to the division director within sixty (60) days following notice of denial by the administrative agent. (3) The CPR provider shall not admit any person who would not benefit from the services of a CPR provider. (4) The criteria for admission to community psychiatric rehabilitation program services shall include:

1. (A) Disability. There shall be clear evidence of serious and/or substantial impairment in the ability to function at an age or developmentally appropriate level due to serious psychiatric disorder in each of the following two (2) areas of behavioral functioning, as indicated by intake evaluation and assessment:

   1. 1. Social role functioning/family life—

the ability to sustain functionally the role of worker, student, homemaker, family member, or a combination of these; and

1. 2. Daily living skills/self-care skills—

the ability to engage in personal care (such as grooming, personal hygiene) and community living (handling individual finances, using community resources, performing household chores), learning ability/self-direction, and activities appropriate to the individual’s age, developmental level, and social role functioning;

the individual is at risk of out-of-home or out-of-school placement; and

Immediately upon completion of the ninety (90) days or sooner, if the individual has been determined to have an eligible diagnosis as listed in 9 CSR 30- 4.042(4)(B) of the rule, the diagnosis must be documented and the individual may continue in the CPR program;
4. (E) If an individual who has been provisionally admitted is determined to be ineligible for CPR services, staff shall directly assist the individual and/or family in arranging appropriate follow-up services. Follow-up services shall be documented in the discharge summary of the clinical record;
5. (F) All admission documentation is required for those provisionally admitted, with the exception of the comprehensive evaluation, which may be deferred for ninety (90) days.
