Written Justification for Denying Discharge – The Partner Provider must provide written justification for the denial of discharge, and it will be reviewed to determine if the reasons meet the terms of MDCPS’s policy. Written justification may be provided by the provider’s licensed clinician and/or licensed medical professional (psychiatrist/psychiatric nurse practitioner). When the discharge request is approved, the Provider will receive a Discharge Memo from the Coordinated Care Department within five (5) business days of receipt.
