Record Keeping for Psychologists in Pennsylvania 2020

Record keeping for psychologists in Pennsylvania can be complex. Although the State Board of Psychology establishes minimal standards for record keeping, insurers have additional requirements. Furthermore, the requirements of commercial insurers, Medicare, and Medicaid overlap, but are not completely identical. This home study consists of articles from the Pennsylvania Psychologist and other sources that reviews those record keeping requirements, addresses common questions about record keeping, and suggests procedures when dealing with high risk patients.

This program qualifies as the ethics requirement as mandated by the Pennsylvania State Board of Psychology.
