When Insurance Companies and Clinicians Pay Attention to Data, Everybody Wins: A Commentary on Koons, O’Rourke, Carter, and Erhardt (2013)

Insurance companies and clinicians may appear to be strange bedfellows, however, both have common objectives. This commentary describes how, using Koons, O’Rourke, Carter, and Erhardt (2013) as a model, CBT clinicians can learn to actively change the system to benefit both the providers and the clients. By doing so, we can increase the availability of evidence-based practices to a larger proportion of the population and not just individuals who can afford to pay out-of-network.
