What is a Profession-to-Profession Warm Handoff?

  • This meeting is intended to introduce the member to the post-release provider.
  • It includes a discussion between providers and the member about the Health Risk Assessment and Reentry Care plan that was completed during pre-release services.
  • The post-release provider will confirm the appropriate level of care and schedule a post-release intake appointment and assist in coordinating transportation if needed.
  • Please ensure a consent for exchange of information between the pre-release provider and post-release provider is available at the time of the warm handoff meeting or ahead of the meeting when possible.
