The Life Adjustment Team is pleased
to announce its recent affiliation with PacifiCare Health Systems.
With approximately $11 billion in annual revenues, PacifiCare is
one of the nation’s largest consumer health organizations, serving
more than 3 million health plan members in eight states and Guam.
Leaders in the health insurance
industry recognize the value of outpatient rehabilitation services
as an effective solution to providing quality mental health care
at a reasonable cost. Intensive outpatient programs reduce
the number of inpatient days and at times can be used to prevent
the need for hospitalization.
PacifiCare began negotiations
with the Life Adjustment Team at the end of 2002. The qualifying
process takes several months and requires facilities to meet high
clinical and procedural standards and to undergo an on-sight visit
by a PacifiCare contracting associate.
The Life Adjustment Team currently
provides services as an out-of-network provider on a case-by-case
basis with several other major insurance carriers.
