Procedure
Never Seen, lost, and unavailable children enrolled more than 6 months:
a. Evaluation or reevaluation within the last 3 months
If the child was evaluated within 3 months of discharge, the objective findings tab will appear. The provider must complete:
- Progress Note tab
- Treatment Plan
- Discharge
- Charges tab: this discharge note was completed through file review, so add charges to FSC for time spent reviewing and completing the discharge note.
- Child Outcome Summary
- If the child was never seen, or only seen once or very briefly, enter “ntseen (+ space bar)” in the “Describe progress since last rating” box. This will auto-populate the note:
“This child was exited due to ‘attempts to contact unsuccessful’ and no therapeutic interventions were provided for the child, therefore developmental progress is without current observations.”
- Conduct a file review for new skills documented by another provider.
b. Last evaluation more than 3 months before discharge
If no evaluation has been completed in the last 3 months, the provider must supply IDA- 2 scores by either:
- Completing an IDA-2 review without the family present and recording the scores in the Objective Findings tab.
- If the child was never seen, or only seen once or very briefly, enter “ntseen (+ space bar)” in the “Describe progress since last rating” box. This will auto-populate the note:
“This child was exited due to ‘attempts to contact unsuccessful’ and no therapeutic interventions were provided for the child, therefore developmental progress is without current observations.”
- Conduct a file review for new skills documented by another provider.
- Charges tab: this discharge note was completed through file review, so add charges to FSC for time spent reviewing and completing the discharge note.
