Holman Group:

In 1979 there was an atmosphere in the business community of escalating mental health and drug/alcohol treatment costs without any evidence of value or outcome. Holman was first on the West Coast and one of the first NATIONALLY to pick up the responsibility for managing the relationship between benefit dollars spent and outcome. Holman has a plan of benefits designed to step an eligible employee up into a more intense treatment or down into a less intense and less restrictive treatment program based on clinical NEED and the HOLMAN PHILOSOPHY. In 1985 they were granted a Knox-Keene license as a specialty Managed Mental Health Care Plan serving corporations and trusts throughout the United States.
