(a) While the patient is on Convalescent Leave, the Wyoming State Hospital or designated hospital shall periodically review, with the community provider and any designated gatekeeper, the treatment progress of the patient as documented in the quarterly report submitted by the community treatment provider.

(b) Neither the physicians nor the caseworkers at the Wyoming State Hospital or designated hospital shall provide direct care or treatment of the patient while the patient is on Convalescent Leave unless otherwise documented in the treatment plan, although they shall be available for consultation with community treatment providers.
