43.1.10.2 Continuity of Care and the Medical Home
The individual providing the medical check up (if not the medical home provider) must ask the parents whether the client has a physician or primary care medical home provider where the client usually receives medical care.
If the client's medical home is providing THSteps check ups, it is in the client's and family's best interest for providers to encourage the continuation of that relationship. If the family has a medical home but prefers to have their check up done by another provider, then the rendering provider should send a copy of the THSteps medical check up records to the primary care medical home provider.
If the medical check up provider is unable to offer a medical home to the client, the medical check up provider must enter into written agreements with providers who are willing to offer medical homes.
