They are performed to improve the skills and abilities of members to live independently in the community, improve self-care and social skills, and promote lifestyle change and recovery practices. Rehabilitation services may be provided individually or in group sessions through the format of curriculum-based education and skills training. This service is generally performed with only the member and the qualified provider, but may include a member and the member's family/support system when providing educational services from a curriculum that focuses on the member's diagnosis, symptom management, and recovery. A member who, at the time of service, is not able to cognitively benefit from the treatment due to active hallucinations, substance abuse, or other impairments, is not suitable for this service. Family involvement is allowed for support of the member and education regarding his/her recovery but does not constitute family therapy, which requires a licensed provider. Eligibility requirements and billing limits found in OAC 317:30-5-241.3 do not apply.

The behavioral health CM II, CADC, and BHA must have immediate access to an LBHP who can provide clinical oversight and collaborate with the qualified PSR provider in the provision of services.

Such disorders and disruptions may be due to infant/toddler and/or parent/caregiver vulnerabilities and/or negative environmental factors that are significantly impacting the infant and/or parent/caregiver-infant relationship.
