LMHP and Outpatient
 

With limited number of units available in each tier, and with a CPST team sharing the units and treatment planning for a client, providing Outpatient in schools would seem to fit better (and remain) under the existing psychiatric services regulations vs. inclusion into CPST.  It would be difficult to discern the differences between tranditional OP services and CPST OP services.  Would it be easier to continue with existing regulation that CPST services must include OP?  If not, additional guidance is needed in regulations to establish these service differences.  What if I have an OP client that needs CPST in schools, and make a referral for CPST.  Can I continue seeing my client in my OP setting?  Can the two services coexist and overlap?
