This new QRTP category of provider was created to ensure children and youth in placement would receive trauma-informed care that would be focused on treating their clinical needs to help them return to their family or a family-like setting as soon as reasonably possible.

To support this, a QRTP lifetime limit was created for how long Children or youth are allowed to receive treatment in QRTPs with federal reimbursement

The QRTP Lifetime limit is:

6 months for children who are age 12 or younger
12 consecutive months or 18 nonconsecutive months for youth age 13 or older
