If the service level of an adopted child in residential therapeutic care is reduced below specialized at the end of a service level review, the contractor must immediately begin planning to:
• support the child's return to the adoptive home,
• refer the child and family to another facility that can meet the child's needs, or
• help the family find other ways to pay for the contractor's continuing care.
The child's eligibility for CPS-paid residential therapeutic care ends 60 days after the effective date of the reduced service level.
