- Orange County, CA (1888PressRelease) August 05, 2011 - Sovereign Health of California's Associate Clinical Director, Dr. Meghan Marcum, will be giving a presentation at the American Psychological Association in Washington D.C. on August 7th. Her discourse, called "Navigating Managed Care: Clinical Documentation and Medical Necessity", is a summary of how to successfully run a treatment center - a guide for clinicians and practitioners.
In the behavioral healthcare realm, accepting patients who have private insurance is becoming increasingly important. Dr. Marcum will discuss the benefits of accepting insurance for payment, managed care guidelines, clinical documentation and compliance, medical necessity criteria, and give a resource list for providers. According to Dr. Marcum, participation with insurance panels can provide a stream of referrals to one's practice or treatment facility, and the increased use of the internet helps clients and families locate providers with greater efficiency. She goes further, explaining that in order for treatment centers to be reimbursed, they must provide documented proof that "medication is used where indicated, substance abuse and general medical evaluations are conducted, community support resources are included, and providers are licensed."
