Does anyone know if the supervising practioner needs to also sign the progress notes of the individual he/she is supervising. For example in the state of Texas a CI (counselor intern) can provide substance abuse counseling servicing if being supervised by an LCDC (licensed chemical dependency counselor) or other QCC. State guidelines only indicate that Assessment and Treatment Plan require both signatures, but I was wonding if there was a more stringent standard that needs to be met and if so where can I find that reference. Have been searching and cannot find. Personally I do want for the CI and LCDC sign off on the progress note but their has been some resistence on their part since the state standard does not require it. I just feel it is an extra step we can take to ensure all services are being supervised properly. Can anyone share some info or insight on this.
