Provider entity clinical infrastructure requirements.

(a) To be an eligible
provider entity under this section, a provider entity must have a clinical infrastructure
that utilizes diagnostic assessment, individualized treatment plans, service delivery,
and individual treatment plan review that are culturally competent, child-centered, and
family-driven to achieve maximum benefit for the client. The provider entity must review,
and update as necessary, the clinical policies and procedures every three years and must
distribute the policies and procedures to staff initially and upon each subsequent update.

(b) The clinical infrastructure written policies and procedures must include policies
and procedures for:

(1) providing or obtaining a client's diagnostic assessment that identifies acute and
chronic clinical disorders, co-occurring medical conditions, sources of psychological and
environmental problems, including a functional assessment. The functional assessment
component must clearly summarize the client's individual strengths and needs;

(2) developing an individual treatment plan that:

(i) is based on the information in the client's diagnostic assessment;

(ii) identified goals and objectives of treatment, treatment strategy, schedule for
accomplishing treatment goals and objectives, and the individuals responsible for
providing treatment services and supports;

(iii) is developed after completion of the client's diagnostic assessment by a mental
health professional and before the provision of children's therapeutic services and supports;

(iv) is developed through a child-centered, family-driven, culturally appropriate
planning process;

(v) is reviewed at least once every 90 days and revised, if necessary; and

(vi) is signed by the clinical supervisor and by the client or by the client's parent or
other person authorized by statute to consent to mental health services for the client;

(3) developing an individual behavior plan that documents treatment strategies to be
provided by the mental health behavioral aide. The individual behavior plan must include:

(i) detailed instructions on the treatment strategies to be provided;

(ii) time allocated to each treatment strategy;

(iii) methods of documenting the child's behavior;

(iv) methods of monitoring the child's progress in reaching objectives; and

(v) goals to increase or decrease targeted behavior as identified in the individual
treatment plan;

(4) providing clinical supervision of the mental health practitioner and mental health
behavioral aide. A mental health professional must document the clinical supervision
the professional provides by cosigning individual treatment plans and making entries in
the client's record on supervisory activities. Clinical supervision does not include the
authority to make or terminate court-ordered placements of the child. A clinical supervisor
must be available for urgent consultation as required by the individual client's needs or
the situation. Clinical supervision may occur individually or in a small group to discuss
treatment and review progress toward goals. The focus of clinical supervision must be the
client's treatment needs and progress and the mental health practitioner's or behavioral
aide's ability to provide services;

(4a) meeting day treatment and therapeutic preschool programs conditions in items
(i) to (iii):

(i) the supervisor must be present and available on the premises more than 50
percent of the time in a five-working-day period during which the supervisee is providing
a mental health service;

(ii) the diagnosis and the client's individual treatment plan or a change in the
diagnosis or individual treatment plan must be made by or reviewed, approved, and signed
by the supervisor; and

(iii) every 30 days, the supervisor must review and sign the record indicating the
supervisor has reviewed the client's care for all activities in the preceding 30-day period;

(4b) meeting the clinical supervision standards in items (i) to (iii) for all other
services provided under CTSS:

(i) medical assistance shall reimburse for services provided by a mental health
practitioner who maintains a consulting relationship with a mental health professional
who accepts full professional responsibility;

(ii) medical assistance shall reimburse for services provided by a mental health
behavioral aide who maintains a consulting relationship with a mental health professional
who accepts full professional responsibility and has an approved plan for clinical
supervision of the behavioral aide. Plans will be deleted text beginapproveddeleted text endnew text begin developednew text end in accordance with

(iii) the mental health professional is required to be present on site for observation as
clinically appropriate when the mental health practitioner or mental health behavioral aide
is providing CTSS services; and

(iv) when conducted, the on-site presence of the mental health professional must be
documented in the child's record and signed by the mental health professional who accepts
full professional responsibility;

(5) providing direction to a mental health behavioral aide. For entities that employ
mental health behavioral aides, the clinical supervisor must be employed by the provider
entity or other certified children's therapeutic supports and services provider entity to
ensure necessary and appropriate oversight for the client's treatment and continuity
of care. The mental health professional or mental health practitioner giving direction
must begin with the goals on the individualized treatment plan, and instruct the mental
health behavioral aide on how to construct therapeutic activities and interventions that
will lead to goal attainment. The professional or practitioner giving direction must also
instruct the mental health behavioral aide about the client's diagnosis, functional status,
and other characteristics that are likely to affect service delivery. Direction must also
include determining that the mental health behavioral aide has the skills to interact with
the client and the client's family in ways that convey personal and cultural respect and
that the aide actively solicits information relevant to treatment from the family. The aide
must be able to clearly explain the activities the aide is doing with the client and the
activities' relationship to treatment goals. Direction is more didactic than is supervision
and requires the professional or practitioner providing it to continuously evaluate the
mental health behavioral aide's ability to carry out the activities of the individualized
treatment plan and the individualized behavior plan. When providing direction, the
professional or practitioner must:

(i) review progress notes prepared by the mental health behavioral aide for accuracy
and consistency with diagnostic assessment, treatment plan, and behavior goals and the
professional or practitioner must approve and sign the progress notes;

(ii) identify changes in treatment strategies, revise the individual behavior plan,
and communicate treatment instructions and methodologies as appropriate to ensure
that treatment is implemented correctly;

(iii) demonstrate family-friendly behaviors that support healthy collaboration among
the child, the child's family, and providers as treatment is planned and implemented;

(iv) ensure that the mental health behavioral aide is able to effectively communicate
with the child, the child's family, and the provider; and

(v) record the results of any evaluation and corrective actions taken to modify the
work of the mental health behavioral aide;

(6) providing service delivery that implements the individual treatment plan and
meets the requirements under subdivision 9; and

(7) individual treatment plan review. The review must determine the extent to which
the services have met the goals and objectives in the previous treatment plan. The review
must assess the client's progress and ensure that services and treatment goals continue to
be necessary and appropriate to the client and the client's family or foster family. Revision
of the individual treatment plan does not require a new diagnostic assessment unless the
client's mental health status has changed markedly. The updated treatment plan must be
signed by the clinical supervisor and by the client, if appropriate, and by the client's
parent or other person authorized by statute to give consent to the mental health services
for the child.

service planning, monitoring, and delivering services to meet the client's and client's
family's needs, as specified in each client's individual treatment plan;

(2) site-based programs, including day treatment and preschool programs, provide
staffing and facilities to ensure the client's health, safety, and protection of rights, and that

a sudden change in behavior with negative consequences for well being, a loss of usual
coping mechanisms, or the presentation of danger to self or others;

(4) mental health behavioral aide services must be medically necessary treatment
services, identified in the child's individual treatment plan and individual behavior plan,
which are performed minimally by a paraprofessional qualified according to subdivision
7, paragraph (b), clause (3), and which are designed to improve the functioning of the
