23 Miss. Code. R. 213-2.8 - Maintenance Therapy

A. Maintenance programs do not require the professional skills of a licensed therapy provider, are not considered medically necessary, and are not covered by Medicaid.

B. Maintenance programs must be planned and taught before the end of active therapy treatment so that the beneficiary, family members, or other unskilled caregivers can carry out the program. If the maintenance program is not established until after the rehabilitative program has been completed, the skills of a therapist for development of a maintenance program are not considered medically necessary and are covered.
