Staff in this situation must complete a Temporary Privileging Form. The privileging form must be completed and submitted to MSHN along with a completed development plan before staff can render services. This form must be signed by the requesting staff person and program director. If a request is received by a PROVIDER outside the MSHN twenty- one county region, we will accept the PROVIDER’s Home PIHP’s privileging form. If the PROVIDER’s Home PIHP does not require one, then MSHN’s must be submitted. PROVIDER must notify MSHN once the staff member has achieved certification and/or had their plan registered with MCBAP.
