Subpart 1. Team convened.

The case manager of a child's case management services may convene the case management team on the manager's own initiative or upon the request of the child's parent or legal representative or the child, or at the request of any other member of the team. The case manager, the child's parent or legal representative unless clinically inappropriate, and the other members of the case management team, if any, shall meet face-to-face with the child at least once quarterly or more frequently if needed to monitor the child's progress in achieving the outcomes specified in the child's individual family community support plan.

Subp. 2. Team coordinator.

When the case management team is convened, the child's parent or legal representative or the child may request that a representative of an agency other than the local agency serve as the team coordinator. If the agency represented on the team by the person chosen as team coordinator agrees, the team coordinator shall convene the case management team and, to the extent possible, coordinate the services provided to the child and the child's family among the local system of care serving the child and the child's family. In this event, the case manager must work with the team coordinator and must coordinate the child's mental health services with the team coordinator.

Subp. 3. Duties of case management team.

When a case management team is convened under this part, the team must clarify and address the roles and responsibilities of the individual team members. The team shall assist the child's case manager to carry out the responsibilities of the case manager specified in part 9520.0914, subparts 1 and 2, item A. Recommendations of the case management team about mental health services for the child shall be noted in the child's record according to Minnesota Statutes, section 245.4881, subdivision 3, paragraph (b).
