How do you resolve differences between different providers and between payers and providers regarding level of care? Will a peer review process be used to resolve such differences?
It is the goal of the standards to provide the foundation for making consistent placement decisions throughout the substance abuse treatment delivery system based on objective criteria. Disparity may result due to individual interpretation of the criteria, especially those criteria more subjective in nature.
