Focus on where the limitations can best be addressed (home or club
house).
Compensatory training not cure.
Not a life time service (except ACT)
Without assessment and diagnosis we cannot authorize these services.

Presence of symptoms is not sufficient
Provider must link functional deficits to Axis I disorder
NOS not acceptable
