(5) include appropriate treatments that are reasonably expected to improve the recipient's condition to the extent that RPTC services will become unnecessary; and
(6) include a discharge plan prepared at the time of admission and updated during the recipient's inpatient stay as the recipient's mental health service needs change, that specifies the approximate date for discharge, the recipient's anticipated post-discharge service needs, the recipient's prospective service providers, and other provisions necessary for the transition to a less restrictive environment.
(b) The department will review a recipient's plan of care to determine whether the RPTC services provided are or were required.
