✦ Synopsis
Unique roles of the professional psychologist are outlined with respect to increasingly restrictive utilization practices of managed care. Suggestions of how to develop less traditional venues of practice, the types of instruments to use, and report formats, along with ways to persuade primary care physicians (PCPs), managed care organizations, and facilities to utilize psychological assessment services are provided. Medical cost offsets, cost-efficient quality of care, and models of practice are also discussed.
