Colorado Revised Statutes Title 25.5. Health Care Policy and Financing § 25.5-6-1706. Termination of long-term services and supports for member receiving services

(1) A member receiving long-term services and supports pursuant to this article 6 or article 10 of this title 25.5 must be terminated from long-term services and supports upon a determination, made pursuant to the person-centered support planning process, that the long-term services and supports are no longer necessary. Prior to the effective date of the termination, notification of termination must be given to the member receiving services, the parents or guardian of a minor receiving services, and the person’s legal guardian or other legal representative when applicable. A member terminated from services pursuant to this subsection (1) has a right to challenge the termination in accordance with state department rules.

(2) When a member receiving services notifies the case management agency that the member no longer wishes to receive long-term services and supports, the member must be terminated from long-term services and supports unless the member is subject to a petition to impose a legal disability or to remove a legal right, filed pursuant to section 25.5-10-216, or the member has a legal guardian or other legal representative appointed affecting the member’s ability to voluntarily terminate long-term services and supports. The parents of a minor who is receiving long-term services and supports and the minor’s guardian must be notified of the minor’s wish to terminate long-term services and supports, but no minor’s long-term services and supports will be terminated without the consent of the minor’s parent or legal guardian.
