Reviews"This one is a particularly good one in terms of internal consistency, clarity, and case study illustrations. The discussions of the linguistic confusion regarding goals, objectives, and treatment plans in both managed care and provider sectors is both amusing and on the mark, and the authors' reformulations are lucid. Practitioners bewildered by the diversity of questions and standards used by their managed care plans or frustrated at their reimbursement denials will probably find the documentation method and suggested data structures helpful in reducing managed care denials.... [I]t represents a practitioner friendly approach to addressing managed care's oversight questions and makes an important step toward a common language for mental health services accountability."- Contemporary Psychology

Keeping pace with the evolving and expanding presence of managed care, the authors have extensively revised and enlarged the previous edition.
