The board shall encourage all plans, including those receiving purchasing credits, that provide services under the program to have viable protocols for screening and referring children needing supplemental services outside of the scope of the screening, preventive, and medically necessary and therapeutic services covered by the contract to public programs providing such supplemental services for which they may be eligible, as well as for coordination of care between the plan and the public programs. The public programs for which plans may be required to develop screening, referral, and care coordination protocols may include the California Children’s Services Program, the regional centers, county mental health programs, programs administered by the Department of Alcohol and Drug Programs, and programs administered by local education agencies.
