Q & As from APA’s Practice Management HelpLine

APA’s Practice Management HelpLine provides practical assistance to APA members on a wide variety of day-to-day issues that arise in managing a practice. These include CPT coding changes, reimbursement problems, relationships with managed care companies, documentation of services provided, Medicare, Medicaid, establishing a private practice, and closing a practice, among others. To see recent questions received by HelpLine staff and how they answered them, see Psychiatric News.
