Aug 05, 2022

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.  

For the CRCF Services application, directions, and the Provider Guide, please visit the Kepro CRCF Services website. 

Please contact the Kepro intake team with any referral process questions at 1-866-521-0027 or IntakeME@kepro.com.
