Behavioral Health Care - Needs and Liability

Discussions about the crisis in health care in our society occur frequently. Many people struggle with being uninsured or underinsured. The premiums continue to increase which in turn increases the pool of consumers who are uninsured.

How often do you hear noise about behavioral health care? As of December 2001, all states accept Alaska and Wyoming had some percentage of Medicaid Managed Care for medicaid recipients. The insurance enrollees in managed carebeen steadily increasing since then, both in the commerical and public insurance sector.

How do you get what your clients need from behavioral managed care companies? What about liability? What if clients don't get the care that they need and something tragic happens? Will I feel responsible and will I be liable?

The best defense is a good offense!

The best protection against liability is experience, training in high risk suicide assessment and other high risk situations (knowing the profile of the suicide completer, know the profile of a gesturer, etc.) High Risk Mental Health is a seminar training to assist clinicians with an arsenal of tools to assess and intervene in these situations. Clinicians who have skills and training in evidenced based treatments (CBT, DBT, MST, etc) crisis intervention skills, instillation of hope and thorough evaluations set the foundation of a good offense.
