Incidental Pre-Authorization Requests

Incidental expenses are temporary expenses incurred to facilitate the continuation of treatment and stabilization in the community when no other resources are available. All incidental expenses higher than $500 shall be authorized by CFCHS only to the extent that they are reasonable, allowable, and necessary as determined through the individual’s treatment plan. CFCHS will only authorize expenses for individuals admitted under CFCHS funded programs. This does not include outreach specific programs; these must be programs where the individual is receiving person specific services. Please complete and submit all requests using the following form:
