PI 21-10

 

 

The regional supervisor must approve all placements when a child is placed in a;

• Therapeutic Foster Home,
• Group Home or Residential Child Care Facility, or
• Psychiatric Residential Treatment Facility

The approval request must be submitted by the case manager via the Group/Therapeutic/PRTF Placement Request in FRAME. To avoid payment issues, each provider with whom the child is placed requires an approval and the placements must be entered in the appropriate date sequence in FRAME.

 

The custodial case manager should provide the eligibility worker the SFN 45 – “Notice of Change” form each time a change occurs with the case, this will ensure payment is correctly authorized to each provider and will assist in avoiding overpayments.
