ACT regulations
 

Please consider allowing LMHP-Es and QMHP-Es., we are asking that any time an LMHP or QMHP is required, that Es are also eligible considering workforce shortages.

Please consider allowing for a Nurse Practitioner be considered as eligible to provide psychiatric medication management services to the program instead of “Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner.” Psychiatric nurse practitioners are rare and result in variances being asked for with this credential.
