Are there limits to the music therapy I may receive?
The following limits apply to your receipt of music therapy:
(1) Support needs for music therapy are limited to those identified in your DDA assessment and documented in the person-centered service plan.
(2) The department requires a written recommendation from a behavioral health or related provider. The recommendation must include a description of your need for the services and take into account that music therapy is expected to complement the existing behavioral health plan.
(3) DDA may require a second opinion by a department-selected provider.
(4) Music therapy must not exceed the CIIBS combined specialized-hourly services allocation of $5,000 per year.
(5) The department reserves the right to terminate the service authorization for music therapy if there is not a demonstrable improvement in behavior as documented by the certified music therapist or other treatment provider.
