Margo Case Study:
Margo has worked out a system for maximizing the insurance benefits her clients are eligible to receive. She knows that she is “bending the rules” and sometimes exaggerating her clients’ problems, but states that she is justified because managed care companies and insurance companies act in inherently unfair ways that take advantage of clients’ reluctance to openly complain about low reimbursement levels for mental health care. She says she always acts to protect the welfare of the client and does not personally profit from her system because she works for a public agency and gets a salary not direct payment from clients.
