The profession of music therapy is receiving more and more recognition as an effective intervention in a variety of healthcare settings. Given this increased attention, the question of how to fund music therapy services also is being asked more frequently by many key decision makers. Discovering potential ways to "reimburse" or "cover" music therapy services through public and private third party payment systems has become a critical component to the business of music therapy. In order for music therapists to be successful in their practices, they must demonstrate competency regarding the current healthcare market, the insurance industry, and where music therapy fits within this environment. This book is designed to provide music therapists and related professionals with a basic understanding of the reimbursement process. Students, clinicians, and educators will find this resource helpful as they explore opportunities in healthcare funding. In addition to providing valuable resources and outlining specific guidelines, this book also includes the results of surveys and interviews with member music therapists reporting the successes with third party payment. Clinicians also will find marketing tools, sample forms, and coding information as practical supports to implementing the reimbursement process in their own practices.
