Riassunto

A roadmap to managed care

This book represents a pioneering effort by one of the most knowledgeable experts in the industry. It is must reading for students training in psychiatry, psychology, clinical social work, marriage and family therapy, and related fields.
--Larry J. Bloom, professor of psychology and licensed clinical psychologist, Colorado State University

An experienced clinician and expert in the field of managed health care, Gayle Zieman has created an introductory guide that can serve as a textbook to help navigate the often complex roads of managed care. Comprehensive in scope, the book is written for graduate students and veteran professionals alike. The Handbook of Managed Behavioral Healthcare offers an informative and often surprising overview of managed care's history, including information on its unexpected beginnings as a not-for-profit enterprise. The author also includes samples of commonly used contracts, forms, and protocols, and offers useful suggestions and recommAndations on a breadth of topics including: how to get on managed care panels; how to attract clients; how to provide services that benefit both the client and the customer or third-party payer; how to navigate the ins and outs of compensation; and much more. This book is a timely addition to the literature on the topic of managed care and offers behavioral health care professionals a practical and much-needed resource.
