APA WF# 21-29 Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) Services for Adults

The proposed revisions seek to implement PHP services for individuals ages 21 through 64 with substance use disorder, mental health diagnoses, and/or co-occurring disorders. Currently PHP services is a benefit offered to children under the age of 21, only. The proposed rulemaking will delineate covered service components, provider qualifications, as well as the reimbursement methodology for PHP services provided to adults. Additionally, the proposed rulemaking will reorganize current policy at OAC 317:30-5-241.2 (Psychotherapy, Multi-systemic therapy, PHP, and day treatment programs) into independent sections for clarity and easier retrieval. Moreover, the requested rulemaking will clarify that the clinical team for PHP services for children may include a physician, physician's assistant or advanced registered nurse practitioner.  Finally, the proposed rulemaking will correct minor formatting and grammatical errors.
