Chapter 388-60B WAC

These amendments will allow domestic violence intervention treatment (DVIT) programs to provide services via HIPAA compliant live video sessions, when certain standards are met. This filing is in response to a rule-making petition received from a consortium of DVIT providers seeking to preserve the ability to provide treatment through virtual platforms, which began during pandemic-related shutdowns. As applicable, these amendments make additional changes required to improve clarity, update policy, or better align rule language with state and federal law or regulations.
