Registration of QMHPs was meant to ensure appropriate service delivery in Virginia and ensure appropriate review, training and supervision of QMHPs. The regulations, as written, place unnecessary restrictions on services and do not improve service delivery quality. There was not response to comments posted during the review process. Below are some examples of concerns.
The regulations as written impose impractical restrictions without evidence indicating the requirements provide better supervision and service delivery.
