Section 240.610  Establishing Initial Eligibility

a)         Once a participant/authorized representative has contacted the CCU, establishing initial eligibility is the joint responsibility of the participant/authorized representative and the CCU.

b)         It is the responsibility of the participant/authorized representative to provide the factual information necessary to establish eligibility.  Should the participant/authorized representative be unable to do so, CCU staff, with the consent of the participant/authorized representative, shall assist in obtaining this information.

c)         If the participant/authorized representative refuses to give consent, and information needed for eligibility determination is, therefore, unavailable, the request for services shall be denied.

d)         If a home visit, as required by Section 240.620, is made at the address provided by the participant/authorized representative and the participant cannot be located, the request for services shall be denied.
