General Information

• Clients and providers participating in LTF must be at least 18 years old.
• Registration for LTF is free for providers and applicants.
  • The application to join LTF as a provider is now within the Therapist Directory application form. To apply, click here.
  • If you are currently on our directory, we are rolling out LTF verification processes in Spring 2024. If you need to become an LTF provider ASAP due to LTF client outreach, please send us proof of licensure at therapy@asianmhc.org.
• At this time, LTF providers and clients must be licensed and/or located in the U.S.

• Individuals (whether a provider or client) are not guaranteed to be selected. If you have a current client who has applied for LTF, they are not promised a spot in our program. 
• Applications for the general public open once per quarter, and typically remain open for one week. 
• There is no limit to the number of clients a provider can see through LTF.
• LTF providers may be reimbursed for sessions with an LTF recipient whether they are individual, couple, family, or group sessions. To clarify, no matter what type of session it will count as 1 LTF session and reimbursement will remain the same.
• A single LTF session is defined as being no longer than 60 minutes.
  • You may hold longer sessions, but each hour counts as 1 LTF session.
• Providers participating in LTF may receive perks TBD like CE/training opportunities at a discounted rate. 

Platform

• For providers offering telehealth sessions, a HIPAA-compliant platform of your choosing is required. That said, you are welcome to meet with clients in-person as well. 

Profile / Listing

• You must first be listed on AMHC’s Therapist Directory before you may become an LTF provider. To apply for the Therapist Directory, click here. Listing your profile is free.
• If you are an approved LTF provider, you may mark yourself as active by checking the “Lotus Therapy Fund Provider” checkbox in your profile, shown in STEP 11 Here. If you are no longer accepting new LTF clients, uncheck the box. The LTF logo will no longer be shown on your profile.
• Your status as an active LTF provider does not guarantee you a match; matching depends on whether a client chooses to work with you. Clients will be responsible for reaching out to providers they are interested in working with.
• For questions involving technical difficulties with the website or listing, please email it@asianmhc.org 

Payment

• You will be paid $150 for each session you hold with an LTF client.
• Email invoices for LTF sessions to accounts@asianmhc.org
• We highly recommend creating a copy of AMHC’s LTF Invoice Template (linked here) to comply with HIPAA. This template invoice is specifically created to expedite payment processing. 
• Please invoice for a session within 7 days of when it occurred.
• Payment for sessions will be made via direct deposit or check. It typically takes 5-10 business days to process.
  • If a client has reached their limit of LTF sessions, the client is responsible for their continued treatment and its payment. To prevent unexpected loss of coverage, keep track of how many sessions out of 8 the client has received.
    

Scheduling

• Providers and recipients are responsible for scheduling their sessions.
• Every accepted LTF recipient will have an LTF code. They must provide this code to the LTF provider when first scheduling to verify LTF acceptance.
• Charges for late cancellations and no shows will be deducted from the client’s 8 sessions. Please be sure to remind the client of this.
