Con políticas a menudo ambiguas, los BCBAs han comenzado a redactar planes adaptados "para Medicaid", priorizando los requisitos percibidos sobre las necesidades del cliente. Sin embargo, adaptarse al entorno siempre cambiante de Medicaid ha sido difícil, lo que ha ocasionado frecuentes negaciones de servicios. El objetivo de esta presentación es aclarar el proceso de elaboración de planes clínicos que armonicen las necesidades del cliente con los requisitos de Medicaid, ofreciendo ideas para equilibrar el cumplimiento de políticas con la atención centrada en el paciente.
