Abstract
- Eating disorders are complex in cause and course, with biomedical, psychiatric, and psychosocial components. To maximize the likelihood of recovery, patients require skillful and coordinated care from various health care professionals, including medical professionals, mental health professionals, and nutritionists. All too often, at some point in treatment, clinicians discover that their patients' health insurance status has been compromised or that further treatment is denied because of maximization of mental health benefits. It is important for patients, families, and health care professionals to understand the health insurance issues that are involved in the treatment of eating disorders and learn strategies that may help to overcome the obstacles that these issues present.
