Mental Health Managed Care Welcome to the Managed Mental Health Care Program for the Salvation Army Central Territory. If you, your spouse, or a member of your family requires mental health counseling, please read the information below carefully. In an effort to protect confidentiality and ensure cost effectiveness, The Central Territory entered into an agreement with Campion, Barrow and Associates (CBA) in 1996 for the purpose of giving professional oversight to the mental health needs of The Salvation Army personnel and their families. The program has had great success, and Officers have found qualified Christian based counseling when needed. Statements for counseling are sent to the Health Services Officer for payment to the counselor. No other information is shared with THQ, DHQ or other leadership. Campion, Barrow and Associates will oversee the actual management of the counseling cases. The benefit to the Officer is confidential treatment that is goal-directed from a therapist who is familiar with The Salvation Army. The benefit to the Salvation Army is effective therapy which is also cost effective.
Information for Officers
“Information for Officers” Procedure to obtain in-office counseling The following procedures must be followed to ensure receipt of Managed Care benefits and maintain positive and professional relationships with Therapists: 1. The Officer should first contact Campion, Barrow & Associates at (800) 292-3399 to see if their immediate need can be served through the Officer Assistance Program. If in-office counseling is warranted or explicitly requested, CBA will provide a referral to a therapist in the Officer’s area. 2. The Officer will contact the Therapist and make an appointment. The initial consultation is covered in full. No Co-pay should be paid. 3. The officer is permitted to continue the therapy relationship as long as the counselor is faithful in completing necessary documentation and progress is noted. If the officer has any problems with the counselor, this should be 1st addressed with the therapist. If the issue is not resolved, then the office should contact CBA for further assistance. What if the Managed Care Program does not have an approved Christian Counselor in my area? In some rare cases, a Therapist may not be located close to your area. In those cases, Campion, Barrow and Associates is willing to work with the Officer to find the most qualified help. CBA has several nation-wide referral sources to try and find a Therapist in your area. Once an appropriate counselor has been found close to the Officer, CBA will contact the provider to see if he/she is willing to participate in the Salvation Army Managed Care Program. In most cases, this method is successful; however, if the Therapist declines to participate in the program, the Officer is responsible for all charges incurred for counseling. What if I find a Counselor in my area that I want to go to, but he/she is not apart of the Managed Care Program? If an officer would like to see a particular Counselor, and he/she is not an approved provider in the Managed Care Program, the Officer should call Campion, Barrow and Associates. CBA will contact the desired provider to arrange for Counselor participation in the Managed Care System. If the Therapist agrees to the contractual conditions, the normal procedure, which is outlined above, should be followed.
