I’m sorry I am not familiar with IRTS.
In looking at M1000 From which of the following inpt facilities… the guidance states facility type is determined by the facilities state license. I don’t know if there is a way to figure
out facility type or if you just need to connect with the facility? This might help in determining if response 6 psychiatric hospital or unit would be your response for a ROC.
Good Luck

Hi,
Does anyone have experience with Intensive Residential Treatment Service (IRTS) programs in Minnesota?
Our agency has a current Medicare home care patient that is now receiving IRTS for a mental health crisis. I’m trying to determine if this type of residential facility/service is considered an inpatient facility
and if we would need to Transfer and/or discharge a patient while they are receiving care under such a program?
I’m not familiar with IRTS and how this impacts home health, if at all.
Appreciate any guidance. Thanks!
Jen
