As a lead early intervention provider, I supervise and support a variety of clinician, including clinical fellows. In early intervention, our CFs are unable to treat patients with certain insurance types (like Tricare) due to the nature of the provisional license and the nature of travel therapy in early intervention. As clinical fellows have passed all necessary examinations and have a Master's degree, there is no reason that they should not be able to treat any patients who are in need of services. This makes it more difficult for those therapist's to build up their caseloads, especially in certain regions (like Virginia Beach and Norfolk) that have a high population of patients with Tricare insurance. And, ultimately, it give patients less availability of providers in their area. I am in 100% support of new clinicians being able to apply for full licensure upon their graduation.
