Who is responsible for PRTF admissions?
The certification of need is required for entrance into a PRTF and includes both the CBST Process and the PRTF screen. LMHP trained screeners conduct the PRTF screen. PRTF employees may not screen into their own facility. The CBST Process must be completed by the Community Mental Health Center. Prior to conducting the PRTF screen, authorization must be obtained by contacting Provider Relations at 866-547-6457.
