Clarification regarding the definition of medically necessary statement of policy.

(3) Will assist the recipient to achieve or maintain maximum functional capacity in performing daily activities, taking into account both the functional capacity of the recipient and those functional capacities that are appropriate of recipients of the same age.
14 Outpatient Psychotherapy Services All outpatient psychotherapy services must be psychotherapy. According to the PA Code Definitions: Psychotherapy The treatment, by psychological means, of the problems of an emotional nature in which a trained person deliberately establishes a professional relationship with the patient with the object of removing, modifying or retarding existing symptoms, of mediating disturbed patterns of behavior, and of promoting positive personality growth and development. Outpatient A person who is not a resident of a treatment institution and who is receiving covered medical and psychiatric services at an approved or licensed outpatient psychiatric clinic or partial hospitalization facility which is not providing him with room and board and professional services on a continuous 24-hour-a-day basis.
15 Outpatient Psychotherapy Services All outpatient psychotherapy services must be psychotherapy. According to the American Psychological Association: Evidence-based practice in psychology is "the integration of the best available research with clinical expertise in the context of patient characteristics, culture and preferences" (APA Task Force on Evidence Based Practice, 2006, p. 273); A working definition for Psychotherapy is as follows: "Psychotherapy is the informed and intentional application of clinical methods and interpersonal stances derived from established psychological principles for the purpose of assisting people to modify their behaviors, cognitions, emotions, and/or other personal characteristics in directions that the participants deem desirable" (Norcross, 1990, p ); A working definition for Treatment is as follows: Treatments when used in the context of health care, refer to any process in which a trained healthcare provider offers assistance based upon his or her professional expertise to a person who has a problem that is defined as related to "health" or 'illness." In the case of "mental" or "behavioral" health, the conditions for which one may seek "treatment" include problems in living, conditions with discrete symptoms that are identified as or as related to illness or disease, and problems of interpersonal adjustment. The treatment consists of any act or services provided by a bonafide health provider intended to correct, change or ameliorate these conditions or problems (Beutler, 1983; Frank, 1973);
