12. DCS

13. DCS For clients in RW, prior to DCS involvement:
RW will continue to be the payer for services.  DCS may access treatment information by having the client sign a release of information. If the RW provider is also a DCS contracted provider,  a referral for “report and court testimony only” should be generated in KidTraks. 
It is encouraged that FCMs work closely with the RW provider to determine the appropriateness and necessity of referring services  to an additional agency. In some cases, the RW provider will have the ability to help assist with covering the additional services that are identified. It would not be in the clients best interest to change providers if the client is actively engaged and has an established relationship.

14. DCS For clients eligible for RW, after DCS involvement:
If DCS refers a client to a provider for a substance use assessment and/or treatment and the client then becomes eligible for RW, DCS is responsible for payment of the assessment and recommended treatment.  However, the client may still enroll in RW in order to access services that DCS does not traditionally cover, such as:
Per-diems for Transitional Housing
Peer Recovery Services
Employment Services
Cost of Behavioral Health Medication
Cost of Medically Assisted Treatment Medication and Med Management
Skills Training (Individually, Group or Family)
Transportation to Treatment and/or Public Transportation Costs
Contribution up to $165 on HIP+ HSA Account
