  services provided by licensed professionals acting within their scope of
  practice  and  employed  by  a  residential  health  care facility at an
  off-site facility operated by a residential  health  care  facility.  As
  part  of  the  demonstration  program,  a  selected  provider  shall  be
  authorized to provide such therapy and related services for  persons  in
  need of such care.
    2.  The  department  may  approve up to three providers as part of the

  provide  on-site  outpatient services and demonstrate that the provision
  of all physical, occupational, and speech therapy and related  education
  services  provided  at  the off-site facility will be in accordance with
  all applicable safety standards set forth in state and local law.
    4. Any provider selected to participate in the  demonstration  program
  shall  annually  report  to  the  department  on  the number of patients
  served, the type of services provided, the cost of  such  services,  the
  sources  of payment for such services, safety standards in place for the
  provisions of such services and such other information  as  required  by
  the  department to develop reimbursement methodologies and fee schedules
  for limited services and to determine the effectiveness of the provision
  of therapy and related services at an off-site facility  operated  by  a
  residential  health  care  facility. During the demonstration period, an
  eligible provider approved for the purposes of this  section  shall  not
  have  their  medical  assistance rates adjusted for any additional costs
