Services must be available a minimum of three hours each day the program is open. 2) A full-day shall be billed for each day in which the beneficiary receives face- to-face services in a program with services available more than four hours per day. 3) Although the beneficiary must receive face to face services on any full-day or half-day claimed, all service activities during that day are not required to be face-to-face with the beneficiary. 4) The requirement for continuous hours or operation does not preclude short breaks (for example, a school recess period) between activities.
