I've never understood the role of these mental health benefits organizations like United Behavioral Health. Why mental health benefits are coordinated separately is a mystery to me. I think it has something to do with all the splits in mental health providers. Social workers don't coordinate with psychologists who don't coordinate with psychiatrists. They don't unite to bargain with insurance companies, so reimbursement rates suck, especially for social workers. So many providers don't take insurance because payments are so low. My psychiatrist gets $150 an hour, including my copay. My SW gets $75 an hour. Of course, neither take my insurance any more.
I don't know. The whole medical system is so screwed up in this country with mental health the worst of the worst.
