Clarity Child Guidance Center

Clarity Child Guidance Center (CCGC), located in Texas, agreed to pay $19,670.97 for allegedly violating the Civil Monetary Penalties Law by submitting claims for pediatric psychotherapy services that did not meet the applicable time rules for the time-based Current Procedure Terminology (CPT) code reported. This settlement was reached after CCGC self-disclosed the conduct to the Office of Inspector General (OIG)[1].

The center is a nonprofit organization dedicated to the mental health treatment of children and adolescents in South Texas, offering a range of services from crisis intervention to inpatient and outpatient therapies. Despite the financial challenges and the need for expansion due to increasing demand for mental health services, CCGC continues to serve the community, including organizing events like ClarityCon to educate and advocate for children’s mental health[2][3][5][6][7][8][11][12].
