Is there liability with placing or not placing an individual at a certain level of care?
Liability remains the same as with any clinical decision for both provider and payer. Providers must make treatment decisions based on their assessment of the clinical presentation of the individual. The WI-UPC criteria has been established to place individuals at the most appropriate, least restrictive level of care. Appropriate application of the criteria should ensure proper placement.
