| Non-Committed Children |
When a non-committed child is accepted for placement and
supervision, form DCF-449 is used, signed in triplicate, to obtain signature(s) of the
parent(s) authorizing the Department to place and provide the necessary medical, dental
and hospital care and to release information to the Department. The original of the form
remains in the case record and additional copies are for the doctor and hospital as
needed. The Department will pay for medical care for non-committed children only under
the conditions authorized by policy. In all other cases, the worker arranges payment for
expenditures with the appropriate agency, town, or parent and notifies, in writing, the
person who has responsibility for the child of the financial arrangements and to whom
bills are to be submitted. |
