New SSPI after 7 days
 

The information about having a new SSPI required after 7 days for crisis intervention services is not written explicitly in the Town Hall proposal.  However, Magellan is verbally training providers that this will be instituted as a business rule.  Can the ACO institute requirements that are not covered in the regulations?  

I would express deep concern about the potential to reduce access to needed and critical crisis services by adding a burdensome requirement that could prevent or reduce access to crisis intervention services.
