(live-PR.com) - Sarasota, FL ( Livepr ) - December 20, 2007 – Integrative Psychiatry Inc., a mental health wellness company offering both holistic and traditional approaches to mental health treatment, has expanded their services by launching Integrative Psychiatry.Net, (www.integrativepsychiatry.net). What makes Integrative Psychiatry. Inc unique is their approach to mental health treatment, namely, Integrative Psychiatry looks for the underlying causes of mental health disorders rather than prescribing medications that merely treat the symptoms, as is common with traditional psychiatric services.
"Traditional medicine in Psychiatry has historically focused on the treatment of mental disorders such as depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and panic attacks primarily with medication. Little is done to determine the underlying cause of the imbalance." states the Integrative Psychiatry website. This, amongst other innovative measures such as "neurotransmitter testing, e-health visits and telephone consultations", is what makes Integrative Psychiatry. Inc a much needed outlet for patients in need of mental health treatment services today.
Even though Integrative Psychiatry's office is located in Sarasota, Florida, out of state residents have the ability to receive mental health consultation and treatment from a licensed and board certified mental health practitioner though Integrative Psychiatry's e-health visits program. Considering itself an "outpatient treatment center", Integrative Psychiatry. Inc offers mental health evaluation services and consultation on location, though telephone, fax and email.
As stated on the Integrative Psychiatry (www.integrativepsychiatry.net) website: "We believe in improving patient access to care, [which] you may not be able to get in your area therefore we offer e-Health visits from the convenience of your home with our licensed practitioner." By taking this approach, Integrative Psychiatry opens up availability for proper mental health care even in rural areas or areas lacking proper mental health facilities.

Cascadia fined for overpayments
Mental health agency Cascadia Behavioral Healthcare may be asked to pay back up to $2.7 million in overpayments it received from Medicaid in the wake of a steep drop in Oregon Health Plan coverage in 2002 and 2003.
The problems were discovered during a routine Medicaid audit by the Department of Human Services Office of Payment Recovery and Accuracy. The state agency is now in negotiations with Cascadia over the amount that must be repaid, a state spokesman said.
Portland-based Cascadia is Oregon's fifth-largest nonprofit, ranked by budget. It had a $57 million budget in fiscal year 2006-2007, and served 23,000 clients. The agency also operates housing for about 800 people with mental health disorders.
The Oregon Health Plan, Oregon's expanded Medicaid program, covered many of Cascadia's clients prior to a state budget crisis that precipitated a huge drop among the health plans' expanded membership, which included many people not traditionally eligible for Medicaid.
