Abstract

Providers of mental health services in both public and private sectors are becoming increasingly dependent on third-party health insurance to cover the costs of outpatient psychotherapy. The present investigation examines reimbursement rates for the cost of the average course of psychotherapy for a sample of industries in one city. Results suggest that insurance coverage should not be viewed as a panacea by mental health providers.

摘要

公共部门和私营部门的心理健康服务提供者越来越依赖第三方医疗保险来支付门诊心理治疗的费用。本调查研究了一个城市中一些行业样本的心理治疗平均疗程费用的报销率。结果表明，心理健康服务提供者不应将保险覆盖视为万灵药。
