When is concurrent treatment allowed? (1) In some cases, treatment by more than one provider may be
allowed by the crime victims compensation program. We may
authorize concurrent treatment on an individual basis:
(a) If the accepted condition requires specialty or
multidisciplinary care.
Note:
Individual and group counseling sessions given by more than one provider is not concurrent treatment.
(b) If we receive and approve your written request that
contains:
(i) The name, address, discipline, and specialty of each
provider requested to assist in treating the client;
(ii) An outline of each provider's responsibility in the
case; and
(iii) An estimated length for the period of concurrent
treatment.
(2) If we approve concurrent treatment, we will recognize
one primary attending mental health treatment provider. That
provider will be responsible for:
(a) Directing the overall treatment program for the
client;
(b) Providing us with copies of all reports received from
involved providers; and
(c) In time loss cases, providing us with adequate
evidence certifying the claimant's inability to work.
