Connecticut Medicaid requires specific supervision and documentation for non-independent behavioral health practitioners (LMSWs, certified but not licensed individuals, trainees) in clinic settings.

Action Required
Immediately: Behavioral health clinics must ensure all progress notes for LMSWs and unlicensed staff are co-signed weekly by qualified supervisors (monthly for certified staff). Notes must include supervisor name, credentials, and signature date. Billing team must verify proper supervision documentation exists before submitting claims - services without proper supervision documentation are not eligible for reimbursement.
