Subdivision 1. Coordinating services with other health care professionals. Upon initiating services, the provider shall inquire whether the client has a preexisting relationship with another health care professional. If the client has such a relationship, and it is relevant to the provider's services to the client, the provider shall, to the extent possible and consistent with the wishes and best interests of the client, coordinate services for the client with the other health care professional. This requirement does not apply if brief crisis intervention services are provided.
Subd. 2. Reviewing health care information. If the provider determines that a client's preexisting relationship with another health care professional is relevant to the provider's services to the client, the provider shall, to the extent possible and consistent with the wishes and best interests of the client, review this information with the treating health care professional.
Subd. 3. Relevant medical conditions. If the provider believes that a client's psychological condition may have medical etiology or consequence, the provider shall, within the limits of the provider's competence, discuss this with the client and offer to assist in identifying medical resources for the client.
