Money and Outpatient Psychiatry

A comprehensive guide to money matters in the office, with patients and with financial institutions.

Money management issues pervade all psychiatric practices, yet they are never discussed in school. This book is an all-in-one guide for the practitioner seeking to understand and master topics such as accounting, billing, collecting fees, contract law and informed consent, fee reduction and increases, payments and gifts (from patients as well as drug companies), nonpayment, and taxes.
