Managed Care Text-based Home Course (2 CE) - Printed Version

Managed care is an important aspect of many therapist’s practice.

This text clarifies many of the issues related to working with managed care companies, including the general operations and intentions of managed care, different models of managed care, and the implications of managed care on client care.

Legal and ethical considerations are discussed because working with managed care challenges typical assumptions about confidentiality, dual relationships and duration of care.

This course also provides information that assists therapists in making the choice to work on a managed care panel, with the administrative and ethical consequences thereof.
