摘要 拥有健康保险的患者可能会发现获得行为医疗保健的初次预约是一个艰难的过程。通过电话对新泽西州持有执照的精神科医生和心理学家进行分层抽样调查。结果显示，新泽西州 10 种大型保险计划下的患者获得护理的机会因计划而异，但总体而言很困难。提供了处理该问题的建议。行为健康从业者及其专业组织应该更直接、更积极地解决这些问题。
ABSTRACT Patients with health insurance may find that obtaining an initial appointment for behavioral healthcare is an arduous process. A stratified sample of licensed New Jersey psychiatrists and psychologists was surveyed by telephone. Results revealed that patient access to care under 10 large insurance plans in New Jersey varies by plan, but overall was difficult. Suggestions for dealing with the problem are offered. Behavioral health practitioners and their professional organizations should address these issues more directly and vigorously.
