Description
Now in a revised and expanded third edition, this popular manual and CD-ROM provide the clinical, financial, and legal record-keeping tools that every psychotherapy practice needs. It is ideal both for new practitioners who want to hit the ground running, and seasoned pros who want to overhaul their paperwork and risk-reduction procedures. Included are methods for documenting informed consent, treatment planning, and progress; advice on fee structures, competitive pricing, and billing; tips on joining managed care panels and communicating with MCO reviewers; and much more. New or expanded coverage is provided of such topics as managed care, clinical supervision, ethical marketing practices, malpractice insurance, and online resources. Updated to include 2002 changes in the American Psychological Association's Ethics Code, the third edition features more than 60 ready-to-use forms, checklists, and handouts, which may be duplicated directly from the book or from the accompanying CD-ROM.
