Evidence: 1) A physical contained in the record of FC- 1, dated 11/28/23, indicated that FC-1 suffered a severe injury prior to placement with the agency that required hospitalization from 10/30/23 to 12/6/23. 2) The physical recommended outpatient care to include OT, ST, PT, surgery, GI follow up and rehab. 3) The record did not contain documentation of arranged medical care or receipt of care from 12/6/23 to 8/21/24. 4) The agency was afforded the opportunity to provide evidence to support that medical care for FC- 1 was arranged and received during that timeframe. 5) The findings were discussed during the exit meeting and acknowledged by agency representatives. 6) In a follow- up meeting with an agency representative on 12/2/24, the representative provided medical information dated for April 2024 and November 2024; however, it did not address the specific care regarding FC-1?s injuries.
