Helpful information to include:
Physicians play an important role in EIDBI because the CMDE gathers records from a child’s physician or advanced practice registered nurse. Sharing relevant records early helps the evaluation move faster.
How can a case manager make an EIDBI referral?
A case manager EIDBI referral starts with the same form: share the family’s contact details, the child’s current services, and how you prefer to coordinate.
Case managers and care coordinators often know which other services a child already receives, such as waiver services or county supports. Listing those services helps us plan a coordinated care conference so every provider works from one plan. Learn more about coordinated care conferences.
