Question

In the face of strong evidence, why do you think that managed behavioral health has
been slow to develop and has developed as a niche industry by carving out behavioral
health and managing it separately? What are the reasons for this, and what alternative
strategies might be considered?

Answer 1

Answer: Managed Healthcare has been slow to develop as a niche industry by carving out behavioural health as although it has many benefits but there are some drawbacks as this limits the access care to those people who are uninsured. People with low income, or unable to fulfill the criteria to get insured are unable to avail many health benefits. In managed healthcare there is always risk of loss of privacy.

For these reasons it is difficult for some people to accquire proper treatment. Many other alternatives can be considered as by developing the more cheap premiums that people can easily avail benefits. Decreasing the criteria of getting health insurance etc.
