Reimbursement and documentation issues in an ambulatory ECT program.

In this era of decreased health resources and the strong influence of third-party payers, the financial advantages of ambulatory electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) should be well recognized by all concerned parties. However, to a large degree, third-party payers are only minimally aware of the availability and potential cost savings associated with this treatment modality. Also, documentation has been problematic, because reviewers unfamiliar with ECT have not been able to find the necessary data even when they are present in the chart. This article illustrates some of these problems and how they have affected our ambulatory ECT program.

Clozapine: plasma levels and prolactin response.

Serial plasma clozapine levels and serum prolactin levels were determined in two schizophrenic patients receiving clozapine, a novel antipsychotic drug. Despite marked therapeutic response and substantial clozapine blood levels, prolactin levels obtained 11--12 h after the last oral dose were unaffected or only minimally elevated. This confirms previous evidence of clozapine's unusual characteristics.
