The complication comes from the fact that the services are made up of three (and possibly more) distinct services with different content, required credentials and payments. Medicaid sees these services as quite distinct and, especially because of payment differences, is concerned that services be documented, coded, and billed appropriately. The following program is intended to assist direct service case managers and their team leaders or supervisors to understand the differences between these services, how to plan for their provision, and how to clearly document and code the various combinations of services that make up this benefit. <a href="http://www.aspin.org/aspin_registration_form.htm">REGISTER</a></td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" width="876" rowspan="2" colspan="2"> June 26, 2009 Psychiatric Rehabilitation and Medication Somatic Services: Review Case Management Definition from Day I and inclusion of elements in case plan Psychiatric Rehabilitation Process (Stages of Recovery and Change) Myths of Serious Mental Illness and overcoming them with Psychiatric Rehab Processes Toolkit for psychiatric rehab:  � Introduction of CASIG as a specialty assessment; other functional assessments  � Skill Building: recognizing and teaching skills  � Medication and Somatic Services: personal care vs. skill building Review Stages of Change and Rehabilitation Brief review of Person-centered Approach Writing Progress Notes Coding Services  </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="216" valign="top" height="120" bgcolor="#C0C0C0"> CEUs 6 CEUs (per session) Indiana Professional Licensing Board � The Indiana Social Worker, Marriage and Family Therapist and Mental Health Counselor Board has approved this organization to provide Category I Continuing Education for L.S.W., L.C.S.W., L.M.F.T., and L.M.H.C.  However, licensees must judge the program�s relevance to their professional practice'</td> </tr> <tr> <td width="216" valign="top" rowspan="2" bgcolor="#C0C0C0"> Cost: COST IS PER SESSION! <table border="0" width="100%" cellpadding="4"> <tr> <td>Members</td> <td>$100.00</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Affiliate Members</td> <td>$150.00</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Non-Members   </td> <td>$200.00</td> </tr> </table> <a href="http://www.aspin.org/aspin_registration_form.htm">REGISTER</a> Registration deadline: 5 business days before the day of either training.

Still time to register for Community Support Services in Indiana: Case Management, Medication Somatic and Skill Building Services

The complication comes from the fact that the services are made up of three (and possibly more) distinct services with different content, required credentials and payments. Medicaid sees these services as quite distinct and, especially because of payment differences, is concerned that services be documented, coded, and billed appropriately. The following program is intended to assist direct service case managers and their team leaders or supervisors to understand the differences between these services, how to plan for their provision, and how to clearly document and code the various combinations of services that make up this benefit. These sessions can be taken individually, but it is recommended that students attend both sessions. <a href="http://www.aspin.org/aspin_registration_form.htm">REGISTER</a></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="216" valign="top" bgcolor="#C0C0C0"> Dates: Session One April  16, 2009 9:00 - 4:30 ASPIN IndianapolisSession Two June 26, 2009 9:00 - 4:30 ASPIN Indianapolis  </td> <td valign="top" width="438" rowspan="2"> Session One: April 16, 2009: Basic Medicaid Rehab Option and Case Management: Basic Medicaid Rehab Option Training: who is in charge; oversight; payment methodologies Community Support Services: overview Stages of Treatment Person-centered Assessment and Case Planning Case Management: detailed discussion of the 4 elements of case management, case management assessments, usual activities, Medicaid risks Documentation of Case Management  </td> <td valign="top" width="438" rowspan="2"> Session Two: June 26, 2009 Psychiatric Rehabilitation and Medication Somatic Services: Review Case Management Definition from Day I and inclusion of elements in case plan Psychiatric Rehabilitation Process (Stages of Recovery and Change) Myths of Serious Mental Illness and overcoming them with Psychiatric Rehab Processes Toolkit for psychiatric rehab:  � Introduction of CASIG as a specialty assessment; other functional assessments  � Skill Building: recognizing and teaching skills  � Medication and Somatic Services: personal care vs skill building Review Stages of Change and Rehabilitation Brief review of Person-centered Approach Writing Progress Notes Coding Services  </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="216" valign="top" height="120" bgcolor="#C0C0C0"> CEUs 6 CEUs (per session) Indiana Professional Licensing Board � The Indiana Social Worker, Marriage and Family Therapist and Mental Health Counselor Board has approved this organization to provide Category I Continuing Education for L.S.W., L.C.S.W., L.M.F.T., and L.M.H.C.  However, licensees must judge the program�s relevance to their professional practice'</td> </tr> <tr> <td width="216" valign="top" rowspan="2" bgcolor="#C0C0C0"> Cost: COST IS PER SESSION! <table border="0" width="100%" cellpadding="4"> <tr> <td>Members</td> <td>$100.00</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Affiliate Members</td> <td>$150.00</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Non-Members   </td> <td>$200.00</td> </tr> </table> <a href="http://www.aspin.org/aspin_registration_form.htm">REGISTER</a> Registration deadline: 5 business days before the day of either training.
