Section 410.452 - Therapist Services: Service Limitations(A) The MassHealth agency pays for the establishment of a maintenance program and the training of the member, member's family, or other persons to carry it out, as part of a regular treatment visit, not as a separate service. The MassHealth agency does not pay for performance of a maintenance program, except as provided in 130 CMR 410.452(B).(B) In certain instances, the specialized knowledge and judgment of a licensed therapist may be required to perform services that are part of a maintenance program, to ensure safety or effectiveness that may otherwise be compromised due to the member's medical condition. At the time the decision is made that the services must be performed by a licensed therapist, all information that supports the medical necessity for performance of such services by a licensed therapist, rather than a non-therapist, must be documented in the medical record.(C) For each type of therapy, the MassHealth agency pays for no more than one individual visit and one group therapy session for a member per day.Amended by Mass Register Issue 1344, eff. 7/28/2017.Amended by Mass Register Issue 1461, eff. 1/21/2022.
