The OMHSAS Bureau of Children’s Behavioral Health Services presented the Psychiatric Residential Treatment Facility (PRTF) regulation informational webinar for systems stakeholders.

This webinar highlighted significant sections of the proposed PRTF regulations prior to the public comment period. The proposed PRTF regulation will codify the minimum licensing standards, Medical Assistance (MA) participation requirements, and payment conditions for PRTFs that provide medically necessary behavioral health treatment to children, youth, or young adults under 21 years of age with a behavioral health diagnosis.

RCPA Children’s Residential Services Committee met after the webinar to review these highlights and to begin preparing recommendations. Our committee will continue to meet over the next 60 days in anticipation of the regulations release to develop our public comments, recommendations, and testimony.

If you have any questions or would like to join our committee, please contact RCPA COO and Mental Health Policy Director Jim Sharp. View the webinar recording here.
