The Washington D.C. Therapy Services Policy Manual provides a comprehensive operational framework for licensed therapists and agencies delivering various therapeutic services (e.g., Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy, Speech-Language Pathology) to eligible individuals across the District of Columbia. This manual aligns with the regulations established by the D.C. Department of Health (DOH), particularly the Health Regulation and Licensing Administration for professional licensure and practice standards, and the D.C. Department of Health Care Finance (DHCF), which oversees Medicaid (DC Healthy Families and other programs, including Home and Community-Based Services waivers), and the D.C. Department on Disability Services (DDS).
The manual includes policies and procedures governing client eligibility and medical necessity criteria, scope of specific therapy services, comprehensive assessments, individualized treatment plan development and revision, goal setting, therapeutic interventions, documentation standards, billing and reimbursement guidelines, participant rights and responsibilities, and quality assurance. It emphasizes the delivery of evidence-based and person-centered therapeutic interventions designed to restore, improve, or maintain function, reduce pain, prevent disability, and enhance overall quality of life. This manual serves as a foundational resource for therapy service providers in Washington D.C., ensuring the delivery of high-quality, compliant, and ethical care that meets the diverse rehabilitation and habilitation needs of the community.
