CLIENT CONTACT HOURS:
Clinical client contact, defined by the AAMFT Commission on Accreditation is face-to-face (therapist and client) therapeutic intervention. Activities such as telephone contact (other than calls of extended duration where subsequent billing occurs), case planning, observation of therapy, participation in a treatment team (other than as an in-the-room therapist,) record-keeping, travel, administrative activities, consultation with community members or professionals, or supervision, are not considered clinical contact. Assessments may be counted if they are face-to-face processes that are more than clerical in nature and focus.
