(b) At the time of admission to an inpatient psychiatric program, the admitting facility will provide the member and their family or guardian with the guidelines for the conditions of family or guardian participation in the treatment of their child.  The written Conditions of Participation are provided for the facility by the Oklahoma Health Care Authority.  These guidelines specify the conditions of the family or guardian's participation in "Active Treatment".  The signature of the family member or guardian acknowledges their understanding of the conditions of their participation in "Active Treatment" while the member remains in the care of the facility.  The conditions include provisions of participation required for the continued SoonerCare compensable treatment. Members 18 and over are exempt from the family participation requirement.  Families of members that have been placed out of state for behavioral health treatment may not be able to attend family therapy each week but should remain active in the member's treatment by telephone and attendance for family therapy at least once a month.

(c) Documented evidence must exist that the treatment program is trauma-informed.
