RCPA Submits PRTF Cost Analysis to IRRC

As RCPA, the Office of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services (OMHSAS), and the stakeholder community continue to partner on the Psychiatric Rehabilitation Treatment Facility (PRTF) regulation promulgation process, we have submitted to the PA Independent Regulatory Reform Commission (IRRC) a PRTF Cost Analysis. RCPA’s financial analysis focuses on the implementation costs in key target areas: staffing, accreditation, and non-allowable costs. The information represents a cross section of providers from diverse geographic and organizational perspectives.

We thank OMHSAS for the recent PRTF forum, which provided an overview of the changes the Department has made. The forum was informative, collaborative, and set a framework for ongoing regulatory development.
