Referral Information
A referral may include diagnoses or health conditions when relevant, current medications, functional needs, mobility status, nursing needs, ADL assistance, behavioral or community-support needs, current providers, payer or Medicaid information, desired services, and preferred schedule.
Some medical services may require practitioner orders or a clinical plan. Waiver and community services may require program eligibility and authorization. The agency should review each referral to confirm whether it can safely and legally meet the individual’s needs.
