Minn. Stat. §245B.07, subd. 8 (3) and Minn. Stat. §256B.092, subd. 3

Termination of services: Discharge of a person initiated by an ICF/DD.

Prior to notice of service termination, ICF/DDs must document actions taken to minimize or eliminate the need to terminate services. ICF/DDs are required to notify the person, their legal representative and case manager of an intended termination from the ICF/DD in writing at least 60 days prior to the proposed termination of services.

When a temporary suspension of services is to result in a termination of services, the 60-day notice begins with the decision to terminate services and not the date of the temporary suspension of services.

An ICF/DD must terminate services to a person when the ICF/DD no longer provides active treatment. Medical Assistance can only reimburse ICF/DD services if active treatment is a part of the Individual Service Plan and actively provided.

1. Document actions taken to minimize or eliminate the need to terminate services.
2. Upon discharge:

ICF/DD policies and procedures must include provisions for service termination, coordination of care and appeal rights.

ICFs/DD are responsible to retain recipient service records for at least three years following termination of services.
