(1)If any child requires treatment the clinic does not provide, the clinic shall arrange for the treatment to be provided, and the name of that provider shall be noted in the patient’s medical record.

(2)

The clinic shall contact the provider or the patient or his or her guardian, or both, within 30 days after the arrangement for the provision of treatment is made, and shall determine if the provider has provided appropriate care, and shall note the results in the patient’s medical record.

(3)

If the clinic is not able to determine, within 30 days after the arrangement for the provision of treatment is made, whether the needed treatment was provided, the clinic shall provide written notice to the county child health and disability prevention program director, and shall also provide a copy to the state director of the program.
