I urge the reconsideration of the 2 unit per day cap on MHSS due to the negative impact it will have on clients, especially in rural areas. While 5 + hour sessions should be rare, there are a number of circumstances that would justify working with a client for five hours. Service coordination, heightened client needs, and crisis situations do arise in the populaiton served by MHSS and may require more than 5 hours of service. Please consider monitoring frequent 3 unit a day billing through targeted audits rather than capping the service at 2 units a day.
