Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 249 / Monday, December 30, 2024 / Notices Staff Bylaws of their VA medical facility. Note: VA Rehabilitation Counselors meet CRCC certification eligibility criteria of a master’s degree in rehabilitation counseling or a qualifying related mental health field with additional graduate-level core rehabilitation coursework and supervised experience. All Rehabilitation Counselors with CRCC certification can diagnose ‘‘Other Conditions That May Be a Focus of Clinical Attention’’ as outlined in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders Fifth Edition (Z codes in the International Classification of Diseases 11th Revision). 4. Justification a. VA Rehabilitation Counselors who only maintain a CRCC certification are restricted from diagnosing mental health disorders because VA has licensed mental health personnel with the specific education, training, and expertise that VA would rely on to diagnose. VA Rehabilitation Counselors who possess a CRCC certification, hold a state license in a mental health field (e.g., Licensed Professional Counselor, Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Licensed Independent Social Worker, Licensed Psychologist), and qualify as a licensed provider based on the medical facility bylaws will be permitted to diagnose mental health disorders because their education, training, and expertise provides the necessary competency to diagnose. Request for Information 1. Is VA’s assessment of what the state and CRCC certification permits, and prohibits, accurately represented? 2. Are there any other areas of variance of any state license, certification, registration or other requirement that VA should preempt that are not listed? 3. Is there anything else you would like to share with us about this VA national standard of practice? ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1 Signing Authority Denis McDonough, Secretary of Veterans Affairs, approved and signed this document on December 6, 2024, VerDate Sep<11>2014 23:58 Dec 27, 2024 Jkt 265001 and authorized the undersigned to sign and submit the document to the Office of the Federal Register for publication electronically as an official document of the Department of Veterans Affairs.
