  1. The Integrated Services and Supports Rule (ISSR)Effective March 1, 2010Compliance due by January 1, 2011

  2. Introduction • The ISSR integrates AMH certification and licensing requirements for: • Outpatient Mental Health Services • ICTS and ITS Services • Alcohol and Other Drug Outpatient and Residential Treatment Services • Problem Gambling Outpatient and Residential Treatment Services

  3. Introduction • Key accomplishments of the integrated rules: • Reflects ideas and requests from stakeholders representing a variety of cultures and viewpoints • Simplifies requirements and documentation • Emphasizes recovery and resiliency • Emphasizes outcome-based planning and service delivery • Updates language (Ex: “Minority Programs” is now “Culturally Specific Programs”)

  4. Introduction The ISSR Also: • Includes requirements that promote trauma-informed care • Defines peers, and recognizes peer delivered services • Identifies Young Adults in Transition and Older Adults as specialized populations • Emphasizes collaboration and coordination to promote health and wellness

  5. Introduction Alignment with Medicaid Payment Rules: • The documentation requirements in the ISSR are consistent with the federal and state requirements for Medicaid payment. • Requirements for receiving Medicaid payment are found in the Medicaid Payment for Rehabilitative Mental Health Services Rule (309-016-0000 through 309-016-0450) and the Other Contract Services Rule (309-034-0150 through 309-034-0490). • Revisions have been made to the Medicaid payment rules to make them consistent with the ISSR.

  6. In this presentation: • Definitions (309-032-1505) • Personnel (309-032-1520) • Entry and Assessment (309-032-1525) • Individual Service and Support Planning and Coordination (309-032-1530) • ICTS Specific Service Standards (309-032-1540 (5-9) • Service Conclusion, Transfer and Continuity of Care (309-032-1550)

  7. Structure of the ISSR • The ISSR is structured by content rather than program or level of care. • Each section addresses requirements for all providers, except “Program Specific Service Standards,” and “Facility Standards for Alcohol and Other Drug Residential Treatment Programs.” • There are instances in each section when a requirement will apply only to a specific program. Those requirements are clearly identified (example: ISSP requirements for ITS program).
