[QUOTE="2much2recover, post: 644438, member: 18366"] Well actually I will add this one last thing as proof I, via my therapist am not spreading "wrong" or inaccurate information: [url]http://www.apa.org/monitor/mar04/axis.aspx[/url] "The bottom line is, even though insurance company policies vary, most don't want to provide long-term treatments, and PDs require long-term care, says psychologist Jeffrey Young, PhD, of Columbia University. The main reason therapists typically bill--and are reimbursed--for Axis I disorders is companies assume that Axis I problems can be alleviated over a relatively short time, in a set number of sessions, says Young." " However, attaining reimbursement for PD treatment remains an uphill battle, say those involved. Not only is the reimbursement problem rooted in the stigma surrounding PDs, but it's also a result of managed care's ongoing efforts to cut costs by limiting services wherever they can, says Russ Newman, PhD, JD, APA's executive director for professional practice. "Personality disorders become a good target for cuts because of the prejudice that these patients aren't going to get better," he says. "Alternatively, there's an assumption that because it's not a critically life-threatening situation, it's not debilitating. But that's just not the case. These disorders have a really limiting effect on all facets of a patient's life: career, family and general stability." And while all PDs are equally limiting, payment for treatment of PDs besides borderline, such as antisocial or narcissistic PD, is a particularly long shot, says Young, because the treatments have only been anecdotally proven effective." :backingout: [/QUOTE]
