The bolded statements below seem to contradict each other. Can RBTs provide services? Please provide clarification.

  • An LBA or LMHP acting within the scope of practice defined by the applicable health regulatory board;

  • An LMHP-R, LMHP-RP or LMHP-S under supervision as defined by the applicable Virginia Health Regulatory Board;

  • An LABA under the supervision of a LBA as specified in 12VAC85-150-120;
