With approval from the Centers of Medicare and Medicaid Services of North Carolina’s Section 1115 Demonstration Waiver, all licensed behavioral health clinicians contracted with an LME/MCO and/or a Standard Plan to provide assessment or evaluation services who identify a substance use diagnosis as a part of a Comprehensive Clinical Assessment/Diagnostic Assessment must utilize ASAM Criteria to guide treatment recommendations. Additionally, SUD clinical policies and licensure rules will be revised or created to meet The ASAM Criteria 2013 edition of the manual in support of the waiver. LME/MCO and Division of Health Services Regulation staff will require training in ASAM to provide their contract oversight and regulatory roles, respectively.

TWO DAY TRAINING: This two-day, highly interactive workshop takes a deep dive into understanding and using the ASAM Patient Placement Criteria! During the workshop, attendees will use the ASAM PPC book and become familiar with all the information the book has to offer. Additionally, attendees will participate in small and large group exercises designed to assist with learning about the clinical considerations that come together to determine the ideal level of care (treatment setting) to meet a patient’s needs. We will also complete at least two case studies that allow attendees to apply their learning to a case scenario.
