Managed Care Organizations

Rising health care insurance premiums have forced many businesses and institutions to examine cost-cutting measures to lower health care costs. Managed care is one measure that has become widespread throughout the United States. The problem was to learn how managed care administrators view the role and purpose of vocational rehabilitation services in their organizations and if these services will lower short-term and long-term use. A survey was sent to the administrators of fifty managed care organizations in the states of Arizona, Colorado, Oregon, and Washington. Twenty of the fifty administrators responded to the survey. Results show that only one of the managed care organizations offered vocational rehabilitation services to their enrollees. The results also show that three responded that short-term use and ten responded that long-term use of managed care programs would be reduced if vocational rehabilitation services were offered.

Vocational Rehabilitation Services

This article examines vocational rehabilitation services to Latinos with disabilities living in the United States. As the number of Latinos increases, cultural competence is a must for rehabilitation counselors seeking to facilitate access to needed vocational rehabilitation services. More so, based on past research, minorities (a) tend to earn less when successfully rehabilitated than non-minorities, (b) are more likely to be unsuccessfully rehabilitated, and (c) are less likely to be found eligible than their non-minority counterparts when seeking vocational rehabilitation services. Related theoretical concepts and comparative data between minority and non-minority populations are discussed. Approaches to practice and program development are presented.
