Familiarize yourself with the managed care or insurance programs offered in your community and share the various programs with your fellow learners. Analyze the programs available and discuss your opinions as to how each program (no more than five) affects providing clinical or counseling services. How have these programs been impacted by state and federal mental health parity laws?
