Wiki Peer Support and Transportation

[Merrylb]

Does anyone know if the time a peer spends transporting the client to and from their appointments is counted towards their Peer Support service time? I don't think the drive time alone counts towards the service but wanted to check if anyone else had any information. We are in Washington and I've already checked my state service encounter and billing guides, which don't mention anything.

Any guidance is appreciated!

Hello,
Here in Arizona transportation is not included in the rate and is billed separately as loaded transportation. Be careful because the two services cannot take place at the same time, so documentation must start and end between travel time! Let me know if you have other questions I can help with!
