Why have we included this course? Because many providers disagree with the type of information now required in writing, in treatment records. Is it ETHICAL? Like, details about the mental health and addiction client's diagnosis, his functioning, and his response to treatment .... and about HOW you delivered the treatment. And many providers disagree with those Level of Care criteria used by the payer to AUTHORIZE or DENY the treatment.

And so it becomes an ETHICAL PROBLEM when we must put all of our 'supporting information' in writing - in the client's chart. HOW do you handle this, ethically? Bottom line, this course describes in 1-2-3 steps HOW to ethically meet the new documentation requirements, when you may disagree with so much.

This course is a good COMPANION COURSE for 'Ethics 4A' (which awards 4 credit hours).
