Pa. Code 5200.52

Treatment planning

This regulation governs treatment planning requirements for Mobile Mental Health Treatment (MMHT) services providers operating under 55 Pa. Code Chapter 5200. Providers must complete a standardized assessment—documenting how mental or physical illness impedes participation in outpatient psychiatric services—before developing a treatment plan that identifies services, goals, duration, supports, responsible professionals, and service locations. Treatment plans must be updated at least every 180 days.
