Definition

Individual treatment plan (ITP) development and progress monitoring: An EIDBI service that covers the development of the person’s initial ITP and ongoing monitoring of the person’s progress. The ITP is a person-centered plan of care that:

  • · Is created using the information gathered in the person’s comprehensive multi-disciplinary evaluation (CMDE).
  • · Specifies the type and amount of medically necessary services the person will receive.
  • Eligible providers

    The following Minnesota Health Care Programs (MHCP)-enrolled EIDBI providers can deliver and bill for ITP development and progress monitoring:

  • · Qualified supervising professional (QSP).
  • · Level I provider (under the supervision of a QSP).
  • · Level II provider (under the supervision of a QSP).
  • The QSP must complete ITP and Progress Monitoring, DHS-7109 and supervise the ITP’s implementation. Level I and II providers may provide input.

    Process

    The person’s ITP must:

  • · Specify the name of the QSP.
  • · Be culturally and linguistically appropriate, individualized and person-centered.
  • · Be based on the person’s diagnosis and CMDE recommendations.
  • · Include techniques that support and are consistent with the person’s communication mode and learning style.
  • · Include discharge criteria that will be used and a defined transition plan that meets the requirements outlined in EIDBI – How to complete DHS-7109 – Transition planning.
  • · Identify any significant changes in the person’s condition or family circumstances.
  • · Incorporate the person’s and family’s values, goals, culture, language and preferences.
  • The QSP must submit an ITP progress monitoring update at least every six months of treatment, or more frequently as determined by the CMDE provider or QSP. This update determines if the person is making progress toward goals and objectives specified in the ITP.

    The person is eligible to continue receiving EIDBI services if the person continues to both:

  • · Make reasonable progress toward goals and objectives specified in the ITP.
  • · Meet medical necessity requirements.
  • The person continues to receive EIDBI services while the provider team completes ITP progress monitoring updates.
