Unanticipated Emergencies. An individual in need of services may be unknown to an AE; an individual may not be identified correctly through the PUNS process; or the individual’s PUNS does not yet accurately reflect an unanticipated change in circumstances. All of these factors may lead to the occurrence of an Unanticipated Emergency as defined in Section 1.0. The AE shall develop and implement a protocol to manage Unanticipated Emergencies efficiently and in the best interest of the individual in need of services. This protocol shall include activities to be implemented in the event that the individual is not enrolled in one of the Waivers. The AE shall work cooperatively with the County Program to address the individual’s needs. The AE shall develop and implement the protocol as directed in established policies and procedures and as approved by the Department.
