United Health Coverage Limitations Mental Health Care Excluded from New HMO Policy November 12, 1999 Web posted at: 10:10 AM EST (1510 GMT) NEW YORK (AP) -- UnitedHealth Group won wide praise this week when it said it would allow doctors, not HMO administrators, to have the final say in patient care. It turns out there are exceptions. The nation's second-largest managed care company said its new policy doesn't include mental health coverage, a decision that prompted anger from advocates on Thursday. " Mental health is always the poor stepchild, and this is more evidence of that, " said Holstein, a Long Beach, New Jersey, psychologist. UnitedHealth officials defend the exclusion, noting they have yet to study how the new policy would affect people seeking counseling or psychiatric care. The company fears that costs would escalate if they loosened the reins on mental health providers because few objective tests exist to determine what type of care, if any, is needed. " Mental health holds a lot more intangibles than medical care in determining what treatment someone needs, " said Saul Feldman, chief executive officer of United Behavioral Health, UnitedHealth's subsidiary that manages mental health and substance abuse benefits for 17 million Americans. Under the new policy, UnitedHealth will still closely monitor its physicians and require doctors to alert the health plan when they order expensive tests or admit patients to the hospital. But if there are disagreements on treatment, the doctor has the final say. Feldman said new " parity laws " in 27 states require health plans to offer equal coverage for physical and mental health. He said that will push costs higher unless the company can tightly manage the care -- a task that would be made more difficult if the health plan transferred final authority on patient decisions to therapists. " The issue we all have to recognize is there are legitimate differences between mental health care and medical care, " said Feldman, a psychologist. UnitedHealth's decision was disappointing but not surprising, said Shore, president of the National Coalition of Mental Health Professionals and Consumers in Commack, New York. " There is a conscious or unconscious mean-spirited bias against mental health, which the people in charge (of managed care firms) do not understand, " Shore said. UnitedHealth's new policy also excludes substance-abuse care providers. Managed care firms usually combine oversight of mental health and substance abuse because treatments are closely linked. ____________________________________________________________________________ ___ ____________________________________________________________________________ ___ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 18, 2000 Report Share Posted January 18, 2000 Sorry to hear that your son has systemic ja how is he doing? He seems to be holding his own - he is up and walking again - which is an improvment. He does not understand why when nighfall hits he seems worse and his little body starts puffing up and becoming inflamed. He sleeps nightly with LOTS of pillows all over him and surroundinghim - says it is the only way he can sleep. He felt so uncomfortable last night, he went and got his brother to sleep with. It's a real blowwhen you find out your baby has this disease, but it really makes you hoppin' MAD when you have to get your little one into see a specialist like a rheumy doc and they say " we can't get you in till.......WHEN? " I called his pediatrician who called the Rheumatologist and I now have an appointment for this next Friday morning(Jan. 21st). Question: It is an adult Rheutamologist - does that make a difference? Take care:) Teena Thank you so much ---- Kat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 18, 2000 Report Share Posted January 18, 2000 Dear Kat, It seems that nights are worse for this disease. OUr daughter was diagnosed in November with systemic JRA, she is 11. We are three months into this disease, and the nights can still be hard. But there has been improvement, ever so slowly. It is the pits of a disease to see your child suffer day after day. We see a Pediatric rheumatologist. I think that would be the best for your child, but there are many more people here that have lots more experience than I. It is a fairly rare speciality and they are very busy. We had a tough time being seen, but be assertive. I remember I was in tears in the hospital, and I just called the guy up in his university office, and told him we wanted him immediately. We see him every three months now. We will get a second opinion in Seattle and we have waited 2 months for that appointment. But that appointment isn't as urgent as we know what is going on now, and have n on medicine. Good luck. in Portland Re: Digest Number 328 >From: Prov31Wise@... > > Sorry to hear that your son has systemic ja how is he doing? > He seems to be holding his own - he is up and walking again - which is >an improvment.

I am sure she is a charming lady, but there are just too many things that just don't add up regarding her. This would include the fact that if she spectacularly cured her cancer in the way she describes, and is still " a very loyal conventional doctor " with an interest in " safety and healing " why did she not write up her case and publish it? I know many medical journals that would be interested in publishing such a case. Why could this be? Also no " loyal conventional doctor " would fail to see the need for more data gathering about the treatment she is recommending, as do I. But one point I would like to make again is that the truth of one particular case like this is not as crucial as you might think. Pilgrimages to the grotto at Lourdes produced some spectacular well-documented miraculous cures of cancer, but few people nowadays put this near the top of their list of cancer cures to follow. Why? Because the cures were so rare and unpredictable. Similar things happening rarely while some are using alternatives, even when no other reason for benefit is evident, does not unfortunately prove that we are onto a generally useful cancer treatment. Only looking at the results of treatment of a collection of cancer patients will do this, and this is all that I am saying AM must do if it wants to push useful treatments to the surface out of much that is murky. I have pointed out that with cancer and modern technology there is no difficulty in knowing whether an established cancer is responding to treatment, so that you don't need sophisticated double blind or other controlled trials to find out if a treatment is as effective as is often claimed within AM. If no one within AM wants to do this, fine. But please understand that you will never validate a single alternative cancer treatment purely by trying to turn people against well-validated conventional treatments and invoking conspiracy theories. The experience of the last fifty years should have proved this to you once and for all. It is fine for anyone with cancer to use any alternative they wish on the testimonial evidence available right now, but Medicine observes that there are fifty or sixty alternatives with similar claims, many of which ARE undoubtedly fraudulent. So of course Medicine is not interested in abandoning proven treatments, with known cure and response rates, or diverting scarce resources away from its own numerous cancer research endeavours (targeted immunology, angiogenesis inhibitors, studies in the molecular biology and the genetics of cancer etc) to look at any alternatives. Especially when there appears to be so little impetus within AM itself to gather the data that might show that a treatment has consistent effects. > You can discuss your views and get > her opinions > on them.

But I don't think the question as to what can effectively treat cancer should hang upon any individual personality or what that personality says. Conventional medicine does not follow gurus. It wants clear out and readily verifiable results. Not just the odd spectacular case. Put perhaps half a dozen cases like hers together , with biopsy results and all clinical details, and people will take notice. > Belinda > > > __________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought carob was just ground carob beans: " The carob tree is a Mediterranean plant. It has existed for over 4000 years. It is a legume, evergreen and a beautiful shade tree and takes 20 years to reach its full height, which is 50ft (over 15mts) high and 50ft( over 15mts). wide, with a tap root to 125ft (38mts). In places like Egypt, where the water is mainly underground, that long tap root has allowed the carob trees to survive. The surface root system never goes beyond the leaf canopy. The tree takes up to 8 years to produce a crop of pods, 15 years to produce a commercial size crop, but by 20 years can produce up to a tonne in one season. It will continue to produce for up to 200 years and only the female trees in the wild, produce pods. In commercial cultivation the trees are grafted male and female together so every tree produces a crop. Bees do the pollination as the masses of small cluster flowers offer large amounts of nectar as incentive. " Taken from here: http://www.carobana.com.au/ Anyway I would have thought that carob powder bought from a health food store or such (particularly if organic) would not have contained anything else. This is quite good site on carob: http://newcrop.hort.purdue.edu/newcrop/morton/carob.html And another is: http://www.intercom.es/balears/carob/palgu_i.htm Now to chocolate, here in the UK we have a company called Green & Blacks who make amongst other things chocolate bars which contain 70% cocoa bean. (And they have a web site :¬) http://www.earthfoods.co.uk/gbs2.html I thought only milk chocolate contained milk or does dark chocolate contain it as well? G & B's Dark does not contain milk, I know this because a UK company make a marzipan covered in G & B's dark chocolate which is suitable for vegetarians/vegans and gluten-free! Whether G & B's chocolate is available outside UK I don't know. -- Steve - CHeltenham, UK --- In Love and Light we ARE In Darkness we ARE NO LESS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 27, 2000 Report Share Posted July 27, 2000 <snip> > any easy way to peel pumpkin? > </snip> I haven't tried this -- but... I remember a recipe book that suggested cutting the pumpkin in half, clean out the seeds and goop, place it skin side up in a deep baking pan with about 1/2 inch boiling water, and bake it in the oven on low heat (300 degrees F) for an hour or so. You should then be able to scoop the pumpkin away from the skin with a spoon or paring knife. Stan B. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are looking for milk free chocolate you might try the jewish section - food marked pareve are milk free. And I believe I've seen chocolate there. If you live in a big city (as I do) you might find a whole jewish store. If you have no luck let me know (off list) and i'll see if I can get it. (I can't have chocolate at all due to caffeine sigh.

Guest guest Posted October 3, 2000 Report Share Posted October 3, 2000 Hello all! My doctor has recently recommended that I undergo a barium swallow for the purpose of checking for Hiatal (sp) Hernia. I'm concerned about the barium and have put them off until I hear from those who have more info on this test and the heavy metals that may be ingested. Anyone have any? Thanks in advance.
