As part of the Pennsylvania Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs’ (DDAP) monthly technical assistance series, Mercer, the contracted actuarial firm for the Pennsylvania Department of Human Services, will lead a training from 10:00 am – 11:00 am on Monday, July 7, which will be heavily focused on the infrastructure component of the upcoming American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM) ambulatory level of care (i.e., outpatient) alignment audits. The goal is to help providers understand foundational requirements and allow time to develop or refine policies prior to upcoming audits. While the record review portion of the auditing tool created by Mercer will also be discussed, the primary emphasis will be on preparing providers from a systems and infrastructure standpoint.

Mercer will also share the expected timeline for the next audit cycle and provide an overview of how behavioral health managed care organizations will conduct the audits.

The resources for the Administration for Community Living’s (ACL) Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) Technical Assistance and Resource Center’s (TARC) June 2024 webinar Cognitive Impairment in Substance Use Disorder Treatment: Neurologic Informed Care are now available and posted on the ACL website. The resources posted include the webinar recording (captioned and available on YouTube) and webinar slides.

During the webinar, John D. Corrigan, PhD, ABPP, introduced the new American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM) expectations for the treatment of persons with cognitive impairment, including “Neurologic Informed Care,” as described in the new criteria. Implications for the identification of people in treatment who have a history of brain injury, as well as the use of accommodations to make treatment more accessible, were discussed.
