Attachment Style May Factor Into Fear of Commitment

A new study suggests particular kinds of attachment experiences may cause some adults to avoid long-term relationships.

In the investigation, researchers sought to resolve an ongoing debate on the genesis of “avoidant attachment.” Psychologists have questioned if the behavior is due to innate personality traits, such as being more of a loner, or is a delayed reaction to unmet childhood needs.

BCBS of Florida takes dangerous ‘New Directions’

See the article below from The National Psychologist, May/June 2012,
Pages 1 & 3.

BCBS of Florida takes dangerous 'New Directions'

"Double, double toil and trouble; Fire burn, and caldron bubble."
– Macbeth by William Shakespeare

By Stephen A. Ragusea, Psy.D, ABPP


In the latter half of 2011, psychologists in Florida detected the
scent of an unholy witches' brew wafting out of Jacksonville. The
malodorous signs were obvious. First there were rumors of a carve-out
for mental health services. Then the letters started.
First, each participating mental health provider for Blue Cross
Blue Shield of Florida (BCBSF) received an odd letter in the mail,
announcing that all providers were to have their contracts terminated
in 90 days because "BCBSF has partnered with New Directions for the
management of all aspects of behavioral health services including
provider network contracting…. You will receive an application from
New Directions for network participation."
Oddly enough, BCBSF put the burden of patient notification on the
doctors. "Please notify your patients…that you will not be a
participating provider as of Jan. 1, 2012."
Of course, we all immediately went on the web to investigate this
New Directions outfit and discovered that it was a small managed care
company in Kansas run by a psychologist I'd met briefly some years
earlier. I vividly remembered him talking about how a community with
68 active psychologists only really needed 12 and he coolly described
to me how he would go into such a community, take over mental health
services and then slash the panel to reduce utilization and increase
profits.
It was a chilling conversation that I often recounted to others
over the years as an example of the underlying profit motive behind
the managed care industry. Little did I know this guy would ultimately
be implementing his strategy in my own state.
Soon, providers received another letter from New Directions laden
with distasteful and mysterious ingredients. The letter and
accompanying complex contract was approximately 20 pages long and
requested a response "within 15 days" although the letter itself was
undated. Included was a new reimbursement rate schedule that reduced
existing BCBSF rates, already discounted by 30 percent to 50 percent
below Medicare's reimbursement levels.
There were also a variety of surprising elements that seemed to be
illegal, unethical and/or inappropriate. The Florida Psychological
Association (FPA) formally sought the assistance of the Florida Office
of Insurance Regulation. They intervened and, soon thereafter, New
Direction revised the contracts and made a new mailing to pro-viders,
but there were still many problems.
We learned that BCBSF had actually become a co-owner of New
Directions and, therefore, this carve-out was more like a modified
carve-in. We also learned that BCBSF was beginning to partner with
other states to spread this new version of the gospel of mental health
cost containment.
Individual psychologists began reporting inconsistent information
received from New Directions and BCBSF. Confusing and disturbing
misinformation was also apparently being given to patients increasing
stress and interfering with good treatment. The FPA and the APAPO
contacted a variety of regulatory agencies and elected officials;
expressing great concern about the new direction mental health
coverage had taken in Florida.
On Aug. 25, 2011, the Parity Implemen-tation Coalition
(http://parityispersonal.org/) wrote a letter to three federal
departments: Health and Human Services, Labor and the Treasury.
Why was the Parity Implementation Coalition involved? Why would an
organization "formed to help ensure that the Mental Health Parity and
Addiction Equality Act of 2008…is properly enforced" be interested in
Florida's little problem? I don't know for sure, but I'm guessing that
they think the same way I do about this mess.
I think that this move by BCBSF is really the initiation of a
national movement to circumvent the Mental Health Parity legislation
we all worked decades to pass. I think that by reducing reimbursement
rates to levels lower than the hourly rate plumbers, auto body shops
workers and electricians charge, BCBSF hopes to drive doctors out of
its panel, making it much more difficult or impossible for patients to
find doctors willing to accept BCBSF health insurance.
Obviously, that process cuts utilization, drives costs down and
pushes profits up. That undermines the intent of the 2008 parity
legislation, making it more difficult for patients to get expert
treatment.
Although Florida happens to be the state where the model is being
given a trial run, it appears that this unholy witches' brew is
destined to be served nationally. That makes this assault on mental
health care terribly important and that's why so many organizations
are working hard to challenge this initiative.
The APAPO, the American Psychiatric Association, the National
Alliance for the Mentally Ill, and the FPA have all been working
cooperatively to bring the facts to the attention of regulatory
agencies who should take action. They should block this destructive
maneuver destined to set back the treatment of mental health problems
in America by decades. What can you do to help?
First, be aware of what's going on and tell others. Second, join
your state's psychological association and pay the APAPO assessment so
that we can add more power to our own brew to break the spell cast by
managed care. Third, contact your legislators and let them know about
this plot to subvert legislative intent and to assault the rights of
patients and the professionals who work so hard to serve them.
Throw these good ingredients into the pot and help neutralize the
witches' corrupt cauldron concoction. The fire is burning and the mix
is bubbling.
Your support is badly needed. Our professional futures and the
futures of our patients may depend on it.

Class-Action Lawsuit Against United Healthcare in CA- Alleged failure to cover mental-health diagnoses under "the same terms and conditions" applied to medical conditions.

The Los Angeles Law Firm of Cohen Mckeon, which focuses on representing policy holders in law suits against insurance companies, issued the following news release:

Class Action: United Healthcare Denies Mental Health Coverage Los Angeles, CA Monday, May 21, 2012

A class-action lawsuit was filed against United Healthcare Insurance Company, US Behavioral Plan, and California United Behavioral Health, which contracts with employers such as the University of California to provide mental health services to policyholders.

The class-action suit alleges that these companies, which are part of United Healthcare Insurance Company, have violated the California Mental Health Parity Act, which requires insurers to provide treatment for mental-health diagnoses according to "the same terms and conditions" applied to medical conditions.

Specifically, the defendants are accused of denying and improperly limiting coverage by conducting concurrent and prospective reviews of routine outpatient mental health treatments when no such reviews are conducted for routine outpatient treatments for other medical conditions.

Defendants are also accused of violating the Unruh Act, by discriminating against a class of persons with mental disabilities and psychiatric conditions; violating California's law prohibiting unfair competition, breaching the terms of its own insurance contract with policyholders, and the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing.

The law suit was filed in Santa Barbara Superior Court on behalf of the plaintiff, who works in Santa Barbara.

Her mental health coverage was improperly reduced.

She was having four weekly outpatient psychotherapy sessions.

But in September, 2011 she was informed that she would limited to one weekly session for one month.

Plaintiff is represented by the Los Angeles-based class-action trial lawyers of Cohen McKeon LLP, and Meiram Bendat, founder of the mental health insurance-advocacy service, Psych-Appeal.

"This is an important case because it addresses an issue that impacts a wide range of people who are covered by health insurance" said lead attorney, Michael L. Cohen.

"For too long, people who suffer from severe mental health issues have not received health insurance coverage on the same terms as conditions that are applied to other conditions."

Specifically, the lawsuit seeks certification of a class consisting of hundreds and perhaps thousands of UC employees who were subject to improper review and denial of treatment for severe mental health illnesses.
