Level of care of the placement is too restrictive. Reimbursement is reduced to the average cost of the determined less restrictive type of available placement, unless the child is court-ordered into the more restrictive placement against the recommendation of the county department.3. Requirements for state reimbursement at Section 7.406.2 are not met.B. The county shall correct the area of non-compliance or initiate court proceedings to correct the non-compliance within thirty (30) calendar days in order for reimbursement to be uninterrupted. The county department shall provide the Administrative Review Division with a copy of the motion to the court or the written request for special action by the court. Within 30 calendar days following the court hearing, the county must submit to the Administrative Review Division a copy of the county's court report documenting the county's agreement with the Administrative Review findings and a copy of the resulting order of the court.C. If the county department disagrees with the findings, the county department may appeal in writing the denial of reimbursement. An appeal must be received by the Administrative Review Division within fifteen (15) working days of the receipt of written results of the review.D. Reimbursement is denied from the date of the review if the county neither corrects the non-compliance nor appeals the review decision within allotted timelines.38 CR 23, December 10, 2015, effective 1/1/201640 CR 17, September 10, 2017, effective 10/1/201740 CR 21, November 10, 2017, effective 12/1/201741 CR 21, November 10, 2018, effective 12/1/201842 CR 17, September 10, 2019, effective 10/1/201942 CR 23, December 10, 2019, effective 1/1/202043 CR 21, November 10, 2020, effective 12/1/202044 CR 21, November 10, 2021, effective 11/1/202144 CR 23, December 10, 2021, effective 12/30/202146 CR 09, May 10, 2023, effective 6/1/2023
