LMHP vs LMHPE
 

 DMAS recognizes a broader group of qualified clinicians—LMHPs as well as LMHP?S, LMHP?R, and LMHP?RP providers—as appropriate for completing these assessments. Aligning this document with that standard would create a more workable and sustainable expectation, especially given the ongoing workforce pressures across the behavioral health field. Thank you for your consideration.
