048-47 Wyo. Code R. §§ 47-20 - Transition Process
(a) Transition of
youth who exceed the maximum age limitation shall occur before the end of the
month of their twenty-first (21st) birthday:
(i) Any and all pertinent POC shall initiate
development of a plan to address transition goals before transition is expected
to occur.
(A) Transition plans shall include,
but not be limited to, detailed, measurable objectives to be followed by the
team in support of the youth and family during the transition.
(b) If a youth loses
Medicaid eligibility, the youth is no longer eligible for state plan services.
The Department will reserve five (5) waiver funding opportunities per year for
Medicaid state plan youth enrolled in the HFWA program who lose Medicaid
eligibility to assist with the transition off or completion of their HFWA POC.
This transition shall occur concurrently to the youth's loss of Medicaid to
prevent a lapse in care.
(c) The
Department shall reserve five (5) CMHW program funding opportunities to triage
financially and clinically qualified youth with a CASII composite score of 25
or higher or an ESCII composite score of 23 or higher. Immediate service
initiation shall occur to prevent or divert the youth from being admitted to an
inpatient psychiatric facility for individuals under age 21 as provided in
42 CFR
§
440.160.
(d) CME and CMHW participants who are placed
out of their community in an out-of-home placement that results from
hospitalization, detention, other types of institutionalization, or who have
relocated out of their home community for any other reason, shall be
disenrolled no later than one hundred twenty (120) days from the initial date
of their absence from the community.
(i) Upon
written request from the provider, exceptions to the one hundred twenty (120)
day absence rule may be allowed when it is anticipated the youth will return to
their community within one hundred eighty (180) days of the initial date of
their absence, and the CME network provider has gained prior approval from the
CME via the youth's current POC to extend wraparound services during this time
frame to assist in transition back to the community.
