471 NAC 32-010. THERAPEUTIC FAMILY CARE SERVICES

010. THERAPEUTIC FAMILY CARE SERVICES. Therapeutic family care occurs in a foster home when specially trained foster parents are available at all times to provide consistent behavior management programs. Therapeutic family care services must be community-based, family focused, culturally competent, and developmentally appropriate. Treatment is provided within a family environment with services that focus on improving the beneficiary and family's adjustment emotionally, behaviorally, socially, and educationally. Nebraska Medicaid does not make payment for care that is custodial in nature.
