SUD assessment question

 06-13-23 

If a client is on a commitment for chemical dependency reasons, and our LADC is doing the case management/treatment coordination, can the LADC do her own SUD assessment even though there’s a diagnosis from a professional already?  If we don’t do an SUD assessment, then we don’t have anything to enter into DAANES, and then can’t bill for any of the treatment coordination time.  If you don’t know the answer, can you please pass along some contacts to assist me in finding the answer?

 

Thank you,
