GENTEXT/REMARKS/1. A RECENT DATA CALL CONDUCTED BY HQMC (MPC-40) REVEALED THAT SEVERAL MARINE CORPS INSTALLATIONS AND COMMANDS ARE IMPLEMENTING CEAP THROUGH USE OF MARINE CORPS COMMUNITY SERVICES (MCCS) CLINICAL PROVIDERS. THIS MARADMIN REITERATES THE REQUIREMENT FOR AND SERVICES PROVIDED BY CEAP.
2. CEAP SERVICES.
A. REF (A) ESTABLISHES THE REQUIREMENT FOR, AND SERVICES PROVIDED BY CEAP. THE CEAP SERVICES REQUIRED BY REF (A) ARE NOT PART OF THE PORTFOLIO OF SERVICES FUNDED AND OFFERED THROUGH MCCS INSTALLATION CLINICAL PROVIDERS. USE OF MCCS CLINICAL PROVIDERS FOR CEAP PLACES THOSE CLINICAL PROVIDERS AT RISK FOR EXCEEDING SCOPE OF AUTHORIZED PRACTICE AND PERSONAL LIABILITY, AND IS CONTRARY TO REF (B) WHICH EXCLUDES DOD CIVILIAN PERSONNEL FROM ELIGIBLITY FOR COUNSELING SERVICES BY MCCS CLINICAL PROVIDERS.
B. EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY FOR THE PROTECTION OF OUR CLINICAL PROVIDERS AND TO COMPLY WITH DOD POLICY, INSTALLATIONS AND COMMANDS MUST DISCONTINUE CEAP SUPPORT THROUGH MCCS CLINICAL PROVIDERS. HQMC (MPC-40) HAS CONTACTED INSTALLATIONS AND COMMANDS WITH AUTHORIZED OPTIONS FOR CEAP SERVICES VIA SEPARATE CORRESPONDENCE.
3. THIS MARADMIN IS APPLICABLE TO THE MARINE CORPS TOTAL FORCE.
4. RELEASE AUTHORIZED BY MRS. K. J. LEWIS, DIRECTOR, MARINE AND FAMILY PROGRAMS DIVISION (ACTING).//
