As a result of feedback from providers of CFTSS regarding the need for more flexibility, New York State (NYS) has expanded the practitioner type allowance to now include Licensed PhD Psychologists under OLP.  Psychologists can now provide and bill for services as defined within the OLP service definition. State Plan Amendment approval for this change has been retroactively applied to July 1, 2022.

Please note, a revised version of the Provider Manual will be issued soon to reflect this change.

Thank you for providing feedback to inform this change, any questions should be directed to dcfs@omh.ny.gov.
