This message provides an update to the previous message about Kepro Prior Authorization (PA) process for Children’s Residential Care Facility (CRCF) transfer requests. 

Effective immediately, a new Service Intensity Assessment MAY NOT be required for a transfer referral if Kepro has completed this assessment within the previous six months. Kepro staff will confirm if an assessment is required. A CRCF BHC Consult form with an OCFS Program Coordinator is required at the time of the transfer request. A new Youth and Parent/Guardian Acknowledgement Form is not required for a transfer request.
