individual was admitted to the PRTF before the individual's
21st birthday as described in 42 CFR 441, Subpart D, or any
successor regulation, in an inpatient setting in accordance
with a provider agreement with the Department. A PRTF is not:

birthday) that require intensive services that cannot be
delivered in a community setting. Subacute psychiatric
services are short-term, comprehensive, recovery-oriented
treatment delivered 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, with the
focus of returning children to a less restrictive community
setting as rapidly as possible.
 
    Section 10. PRTF services.

Illinois PRTF program. The rules may establish the services,

    one on-site review annually thereafter.
        (3) Utilization management criteria to ensure that
    PRTF services are provided as medically necessary and
    emphasize clinically appropriate patient transitions back
    to the community, including, but not limited to, service
    authorization, documentation, and treatment plan
    requirements for initial stay reviews and continued stay
    reviews.
        (4) A limit on allowable beds at any one PRTF, not to

    certification, providers must undergo a survey from the
    State Survey Agency, the Department of Public Health, to

    and the Interpretive Guidelines issued by the Centers for
    Medicare and Medicaid Services.
        (8) A requirement that, in order to obtain PRTF
    certification, providers be accredited from one of the
    following organizations identified in 42 CFR 441.151, or

            (i) Joint Commission on Accreditation of
        Healthcare Organizations.

capacity analysis shall minimally include:

    children's behavioral health service delivery system.
        (5) Recommendations to the Department and the PRTF
    Advisory Committee on capacity needs within the Illinois

    community or area of the State to promote access for
    families or guardians to visit patients when appropriate.
    (b) The Department's methodology, completed analyses, and
outcomes shall be published on its website, with an initial
PRTF capacity analysis to be published by no later than
January 1, 2026.
