How can the way a client pays (out of pocket vs. managed care/health insurance) influence diagnosis?
What will be an ideal response?
Since most managed care/health insurance companies require a diagnosis for treatment, the likelihood of receiving a diagnosis is greater for clients paying that way versus identical clients paying out of pocket. This finding is true for a wide range of symptoms (e.g., depression, anxiety, inattention/hyperactivity, and social phobia) and for clients whose symptoms are clearly below diagnosable levels. Also, the particular diagnosis chosen may differ depending on payment method.
