Patient with autism and agitation sent from his new group home awaiting placement options. pt’s DD CM Deqa (612-472-2572) to gather more information regarding the Exception Bed Referral. Deqa shared that she was told that she can either refer for the Exception Bed or MFOC but not both. She is moving forward with the MFOC referral, as it would be a long term placement which would be better for the pt in the long run. She has made it known that the referral to MFOC is urgent. If the MFOC referral is denied, Deqa plans to either push on DHS as they have had an opening for 1 year and have not filled it, and/or pursue the Exception Bed. Deqa said she submitted for the Minnesota State- Operated Community Services (MSOCS) referral on 10/15. DHS Complex Transitions Team referral made on 10/15/24.
