of all the medical records and expenses, I also ask the same from the HMO to get as much information before drafting the questioner for Bill and all the witnesses. The medical record arrive by courier from the doctor's office ( the firm is charge $100 dollars for the delivery) at the same time the HMO send via fax the record. While analyzing and comparison the medical records and charges notice several discrepancies in what the doctor office charge and the HMO payment for the services, even charges

Post Traumatic Stress Disorder or PTSD is a complex mental health disorder with poor treatment outcome. While the majority of the population will be exposed to some form of trauma throughout their lifetime only a fraction will actually go on to develop the disorder (Kessler et. Al, 1995). This has lead many researchers to devote their time to the analysis of pre-trauma factors such as individual characteristics (e.g intelligence) as a means of identifying personal vulnerability for the development
