1. The youth continues to meet the provider criteria;

2. The acute care facility recommends return to the provider and returning to the provider is in the best interest of the youth; and

3. While the youth is in a higher level of care, the provider shall continue to receive board payments for up to fourteen (14) days as a placement holder. If the provider does not allow the youth to return, such board payments shall be forfeited.
