Frequently Asked Questions

Does an Illinois LPC license satisfy the independent-practice requirement?
No. In Illinois an LPC is a supervised-practice license. The role requires an independent clinical license such as LCSW or LCPC.
Is pediatric experience mandatory?
The position is assigned to pediatric behavioral health and experience with children and families is relevant, yet the employer does not list a separate numerical minimum for pediatric-specific experience beyond the overall 3–5 years of licensed practice.
Will the clinician prescribe medications?
No. Primary care providers write prescriptions. The Collaborative Care Clinician monitors adherence, side effects, and response and relays recommendations to the primary care provider and psychiatric consultant.
How is the clinical registry used day to day?
The registry tracks symptom scores, flags patients who are not improving or who have disengaged, and supports timely treatment changes and re-engagement outreach.
Is there additional pay for bilingual clinicians?
Yes. Clinicians who meet industry standards for medical interpretation and documentation in multiple languages may qualify for a 5 percent adjustment to base salary.
What occurs when a patient’s needs exceed Collaborative Care intensity?
The clinician is expected to recognize when more intensive services are required and to arrange appropriate referrals outside the Collaborative Care program.
