This webinar satisfies requirements for live interactive CE credits for all professions.
DESCRIPTION: If you avoid writing treatment plans, you aren’t alone. In one survey, 63% of psychotherapists reported they did not write treatment plans on all clients. Many stated they just didn’t have the time, or didn’t see them as helpful.
Yet treatment plans are required by insurance plans, ethics codes, and many state laws. Without an appropriate written treatment plan, you (or your client) may not be reimbursed by a health plan — or may be asked to pay money back. You could also be cited by a licensing or ethics board. Plus, a treatment plan can protect both you and your clients, ensuring all parties have a clear understanding of the goals and progress being made.
This webinar will address how to write a brief treatment plan that fulfills the expectations of insurance, ethics boards, licensing boards, and other oversight agencies.
Time permitting, we will address:
FREE DOWNLOADS: Best of all, participants will be given two downloadable sample treatment plans, plus a blank template you can use in your practice immediately. You will also get a list of sample interventions, and sample goals for children and adolescents.
The training is aimed at a nationwide audience. It is appropriate for introductory or veteran psychotherapists, supervisors, practice managers, students, or counselors-in-training, regardless of experience level or practice setting.
Target audience: This course is appropriate for all mental health professionals
