Residential Referrals from Support Coordinators
 
There has been some confusion around the involvement of Support Coordinators in the residential referral process.
 
Please note:  providers that receive residential referrals from Support Coordinators should give the same consideration and timely response that is typically provided to Division case management. If the prospective resident is in fee-for-service but the potential placement is still in contract, providers should reach out to the Division for guidance on facilitating an admission.
