If a service recipient is sent to an alternate RMHI and is not admitted, who will provide transportation to get them back to their home county?
If a decision to “not admit” the service recipient is made within the timeframe (defined by statute) the sheriff or designated transportation agent is required to wait, the sheriff or designated transportation agent is responsible for returning the service recipient to the county from which the service recipient was transported. If a decision to “not admit” the service recipient is made after the timeframe (defined by statute) during which the sheriff or designated transportation is required to wait and they have left, the RMHI is responsible for returning the service recipient.
