Mental health care providers: not the only cause or only cure for rising costs
Abstract
The providers of mental health care have been the focus of blame for the increases in the cost of financing this care. The authors point out that the role of these providers cannot be isolated from the types of services they provide, where they are provided, to whom, and how much care is made available. They recommend that professionals and third- party payers work together on these variables and determine how best to contain the cost of the most appropriate mental health care.
