Utah Admin. Code R523-2-12 - Determining the Proper LMHA Under Special Situations
(1) An individual who is homeless and in need
of Hospital admission shall be referred by the LMHA in which the individual
comes to the attention of local emergency services. If from out of state, the
homeless individual shall be referred to the LMHA where the individual was
identified as mentally ill and in need of services.
(2) A child or adolescent in state custody
shall be referred to the LMHA in which they resided prior to their custody
being changed to the Division of Child and Family Services or the Division of
Juvenile Justice Services.
(3) A
forensic patient, placed at the Hospital pursuant to criminal adjudication as
set forth in Section
62A-15-902, and determined to
meet civil commitment criteria shall be committed to the LMHA where the patient
resided before being arrested.
(4)
Utah State Prison inmates who are transferred to the Hospital Forensic Unit,
and subsequently civilly committed, become the responsibility of the LMHA where
the person resided prior to incarceration.
(5) An individual placed at the Utah State
Developmental Center (USDC), who is transferred to the Hospital for treatment
of a mental illness is the responsibility of the LMHA of the individual's last
community residence, excluding foster and group home placements less than one
year in duration. If the individual was admitted to the USDC as a child, the
custodial parent's residence at the time of admission to USDC shall be used to
determine the responsible LMHA. The LMHA is responsible for treatment and
discharge planning during the course of the individual's Hospital
stay.
