Iowa Admin. Code r. 481-41.9 - Certification of need for services

All recipients of services shall have written certification which ensures the following:

1. Ambulatory care resources available in the community do not meet the treatment needs of the recipient;

2. Proper treatment of the recipient's psychiatric condition requires services on an inpatient basis under the direction of a physician; and

3. The services can reasonably be expected to improve the recipient's condition or prevent further regression so services will no longer be needed.

Certification of need shall be completed in accordance with 42 CFR Sections 441.152 and 441.153.
