Legible, dated, and signed by the behavior professional.(4)
A behavior professional must maintain a release of information in accordance with OAR chapter 407 division 014, for each individual receiving professional behavior services from the behavior professional.(5)
A behavior professional must maintain their records for professional behavior services until the behavior professional no longer provides services to the individual, at which time, the behavior professional must provide a copy of any part of the record that was not previously provided to the case management entity. The behavior professional must retain an individual’s service record, following HIPAA practices, for a period of seven years. Financial records, supporting documents, statistical records, and all other records, other than an individual’s service record, must be retained for at least three years after services have ended.(6)
Access to records by the Department and Oregon Health Authority including, but not limited to, medical, nursing, behavior, psychiatric, or financial records, does not require authorization or release by the individual or the individual’s legal representative.(7)
A behavior professional must furnish requested documentation immediately upon the written or electronic request from the Department, Oregon Health Authority, Oregon Department of Justice Medicaid Fraud Unit, Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, or their authorized representatives, or within the timeframe specified in the written request. Failure to comply with the request may be considered by the Department as reason to deny or recover payment.
