Multnomah Crisis Assessment and Treatment Center (CATC) Referral Form
Note: Thank you for your interest in Telecare’s Multnomah Crisis Assessment and Treatment Center. We are here to serve adults 18 years and older in a mental health crisis who are covered by Care Oregon or referred by Multnomah County Call Center (Multnomah County Treatment Fund). The service area for Care Oregon clients is those who live in Clackamas, Washington, and Multnomah counties.
If you are a provider of an uninsured individual with Medicare only, please do not use this form. Instead, complete the Multnomah County Referral form on our website and send it to CATCreferrals@multco.us. or call 503-988-4888 for more information. Please do not use this form.
CATC services intend to divert Members from unnecessary hospitalizations, incarcerations, state hospital admissions, and evictions from community-based residential treatment programs and provide step-down care after acute hospitalization for Members who need further stabilization to ensure successful functioning in the community.
Please submit a complete referral form with supporting documentation to be considered for admission. You will receive an email confirmation of your submission. From 8 am-5 pm, we strive to decide on submitted referrals within 2 hours. Referrals received after 5 pm will be responded to the following morning. If your referral is accepted or we need more information, we will call the number or send an email you provide. If the referral is declined, you will receive an email with the reason for denial and the process for reconsideration.
