Please see comments below related to the proposed Licensing regulations:

  • At the heading of the top of each licensing regulation page, the page notes “re: Settlement Agreement Compliance” What is the rationale behind noting this statement?
  • The credential for QMRP/QIDP has changed to QDDP. How does this effect the current staff who hold the QMRP/QIDP credential? Will there be a variance? When will the final guidance be issued? Will the Board of Counseling also be governing the process?
  • The definition between QMHP-A and QMHP-C is worded differently from the Board of Counseling registration requirements vs the licensing draft regulations. Could you please clarify both definitions?
  • The definition of Day Support does not define/include the youth population. This population needs to be added.
  • On page nine of the definitions, QMHP-C definition states” in section (v) “at least one year of clinical experience providing direct services to children and adolescents with a dx of mental illness”. We suggest language change to reflect “at least one year of clinical experience providing direct services to children at risk of serious emotional disturbance or children and adolescents with serious emotional disturbance”. The reason for the suggestion is due to the current definition does not allow experience with children 0-8 with at risk or serious emotional issues.
  • VAC105-665: could you clarify who is “others” the CSB is to offer the ISP?
  • On page 30, do the new CM face to face requirements apply to both MH and ID/DD CM services?  What is the difference between case management and enhanced case management and does this apply to all case management?
  • On page 14, TDT definition states under certain circumstances individuals can be served until age 21, however age 18 and older will meet SMI criteria not SED criteria.

Respectfully submitted
