Models for multidisciplinary arrangements : a state-by-state review of options / American Psychological Association Practice Directorate with McDermott, Will & Emery
This book describes and analyzes several types of alliances through which psychologists join together with physicians (including psychiatrists and primary care physicians) and/or other mental health care professionals (such as social workers, marriage/family therapists, and professional counselors). The types of alliances discussed here can be divided into 2 categories. The distinction between the 2 categories is primarily based on how bills are issued for services rendered by the members of the alliance. The 1st category consists of arrangements in which a single entity bills for services of its member practitioners. The 2nd category consists of arrangements in which practitioners are linked together through a series of contracts but bill separately for their own services. Arrangements that fall into the 1st category typically, but not always, involve substantially more integration than the 2nd model. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2004 APA, all rights reserved)
