Current through Vol. 42, No. 1, September 16, 2024
(a) An individual plan of care (IPC) is a
written plan developed for each member within four (4) calendar days of
admission to an Acute, Acute II, or a PRTF that directs the care and treatment
of that member. The IPC must be recovery-focused, trauma-informed, and specific
to culture, age, and gender and include:
(1)
A primary diagnosis from the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental
Disorders (DSM-V) with the exception of V-codes, adjustment disorders, and
substance abuse-related disorders, accompanied by a detailed description of the
symptoms supporting the diagnosis. Members eighteen (18) to twenty (20) years
of age may have a diagnosis of any personality disorder. Adjustment or
substance-related disorders may be a secondary diagnosis;
(2) The current functional level of the
individual;
(3) Treatment goals and
measurable, time-limited objectives;
(4) Any orders for psychotropic medications,
treatments, restorative and rehabilitative services, activities, therapies,
social services, diet, and special procedures recommended for the health and
safety of the member;
(5) Plans for
continuing care, including review and modification to the IPC; and
(6) Plan for discharge, all of which is
developed to improve the member's condition to the extent that the inpatient
care is no longer necessary.
(b) The IPC:
(1) Must be based on a diagnostic evaluation
that includes examination of the medical, psychological, social, behavioral,
and developmental aspects of the individual member and reflects the need for
inpatient psychiatric care;
(2)
Must be developed by a team of professionals in consultation with the member,
his or her parents or legal guardians [for members under the age of eighteen
(18)], or others in whose care he or she will be released after discharge. This
team must consist of professionals as specified below:
(A) For a member admitted to a psychiatric
hospital or PRTF, by the "interdisciplinary team" as defined by OAC
317:30-5-95.35(b)(2),
per
42 C.F.R. §§
441.155 and
483.354;
or
(B) For a member admitted to a
psychiatric unit of a general hospital, by a team comprised of at least:
(i) An allopathic or osteopathic physician
with a current license and a board certification/eligible in psychiatry, or a
current resident in psychiatry practicing as described in OAC
317:30-5-2(a)(1)(U);
and
(ii) A registered nurse (RN)
with a minimum of two (2) years of experience in a mental health treatment
setting; and
(iii) An
LBHP.
(3) Must
establish treatment goals that are general outcome statements and reflective of
informed choices of the member served. Additionally, the treatment goals must
be appropriate to the member's age, culture, strengths, needs, abilities,
preferences, and limitations;
(4)
Must establish measurable and time-limited treatment objectives that reflect
the expectations of the member served and parents/legal guardians (when
applicable), as well as being age, developmentally, and culturally appropriate.
When modifications are being made to accommodate age, developmental level, or a
cultural issue, the documentation must be reflected on the IPC. The treatment
objectives must be achievable and understandable to the member and the
parents/legal guardians (when applicable). The treatment objectives also must
be appropriate to the treatment setting and list the frequency of the
service;
(5) Must prescribe an
integrated program of therapies, activities, and experiences designed to meet
the objectives;
(6) Must include
specific discharge and aftercare plans that are appropriate to the member's
needs and effective on the day of discharge. At the time of discharge,
aftercare plans will include referral to medication management, outpatient
behavioral health counseling, and case management, to include the specific
appointment date(s), names, and addresses of service provider(s) and related
community services to ensure continuity of care and reintegration for the
member into his or her family, school, and community;
(7) Must be reviewed, at a minimum, every
nine (9) calendar days for members admitted to Acute; every fourteen (14)
calendar days for members admitted to Acute II or non-specialty PRTF; every
twenty-one (21) calendar days for members admitted to an OHCA-approved
longer-term treatment program or specialty Acute II or PRTF. Review must be
undertaken by the appropriate team specified in OAC 317:30-5-95.33(b)(2),
above, to determine that services being provided are or were required on an
inpatient basis, and to recommend changes in the IPC as indicated by the
member's overall adjustment, progress, symptoms, behavior, and response to
treatment;
(8) Development and
review must satisfy the utilization control requirements for recertification
[42
C.F.R. §§
456.60(b),
456.160(b),
and
456.360(b)]
, and establishment and periodic review of the IPC (42 C.F.R.
§§
456.80,
456.180,
and
456.380);
and,
(9) Each IPC and IPC review
must be clearly identified as such and be signed and dated individually by the
member, parents/legal guardians [for members under the age of eighteen (18)],
and required team members.
(A) All IPCs and
IPC reviews must be signed by the member upon completion, except when a member
is too physically ill or the member's acuity level precludes him or her from
signing.
(i) If the member is too physically
ill or the member's acuity level precludes him or her from signing the IPC
and/or the IPC review at the time of completion, the member must sign the plan
when his or her condition improves, but before discharge.
(ii) The documentation should indicate the
reason the member was unable to sign and when the next review will occur to
obtain the signature.
(B)
IPCs and IPC reviews are not valid until completed and appropriately signed and
dated.
(i) All requirements for the IPCs and
IPC reviews must be met; otherwise, a partial per diem recoupment will be
merited.
(ii) If the member's
parent/legal guardian is unable to sign the IPC or IPC review on the date it is
completed, then within seventy-two (72) hours the provider must in good faith
and with due diligence attempt to telephonically notify the parent/legal
guardian of the document's completion and review it with them.
(iii) Documentation of reasonable efforts to
make contact with the member's parent/legal guardian must be included in the
clinical file.
(iv) In those
instances where it is necessary to mail or fax an IPC or IPC review to a
parent/legal guardian or Oklahoma Department of Human Services/Oklahoma Office
of Juvenile Affairs (OKDHS/OJA) worker for review, the parent/legal guardian
and/or OKDHS/OJA worker may fax back his or her signature. The provider must
obtain the original signature for the clinical file within thirty (30) days.
Stamped or photocopied signatures are not allowed for any parent/legal guardian
or member of the treatment team.
(10) Medically necessary Early and Periodic
Screening, Diagnostic and Treatment (EPSDT) services shall be provided to
members, under the age of twenty-one (21), who are residing in an inpatient
psychiatric facility, regardless of whether such services are listed on the
IPC. Reimbursement for the provision of medically necessary EPSDT services to
individuals under age twenty-one (21), while the member is residing in an
inpatient psychiatric facility, will be provided in accordance with the
Oklahoma Medicaid State Plan.
