Members with Special Health Care Needs – Individuals, as identified in the MCO's Quality Assurance Performance Improvement (QAPI) program, who have or are at increased risk for chronic, physical, developmental, behavioral, or emotional conditions and who require health and related services of a type or amount beyond that required by individuals generally.

Misappropriation – Depriving, defrauding, or otherwise obtaining the money, or real or personal property (including medication) of a member by any means prohibited by law. Mobile Response and Stabilization Services (MRSS) – As provided in OAC rule 5160-27-13, MRSS is a mobile response stabilization service for young people who are experiencing significant behavioral or emotional challenges and their families. The service may be delivered through a face-to-face mobile response to the young person’s home, school, a local emergency department (ED), or another location in the community, including a location preferred by the family. MRSS is available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. The purpose of MRSS is to provide rapid community-based crisis assessment and stabilization to young people and their families and to build the skills needed to help maintain young people in their homes and communities whenever safe and possible. In addition to the direct provision of crisis intervention and stabilization services, MRSS providers link young people and their families to ongoing clinical and natural supports and services through a facilitated Child and Family Team planning process. MRSS consists of a series of four phases of services including: triage and initial mobile response; assessment and planning; stabilization; and service transition. MRSS provides young people and their caregivers with short-term, flexible services to assist in stabilizing young people in their community setting. Interventions are designed to maintain the young person in their current living arrangement and to stabilize behavioral health needs to improve functioning in all life domains.
