(A) Services designated "P.A." in the list of service codes and descriptions in Subchapter 6 of the Speech and Hearing Center Manual require prior authorization from the MassHealth agency. Such services include, but are not limited to:
(1) more than 35 speech and
language pathology visits, including group-therapy visits, for a member in a
