The CETCLEVELAND® program requires the following:
- 5 to 6 computers with Internet connection
- A white board for lectures and exercises
- A method to hang classroom posters for lecture notes and treatment plans (some sites use large, permanently mounted clip hangers that are easily installed and inexpensive.)
- An Internet video conferencing system for training and supervision (i.e. ZOOM, Microsoft TEAMS)
Our experience has been that Medicaid, and to a lesser extent, Medicare and other 3rd party payers are able to cover the costs of CETCLEVELAND®. Medicaid does pay for CET as group therapy and individual therapy or as case management services (CPST individual and group services).
