It seems like none of us are immune to the ever-changing landscape of healthcare insurance. Like many others, my family and I are going through new plans, rules, and deductibles effective with the New Year. I think these insurance changes can be confusing and overwhelming.
I wanted to use this transition to the New Year as an opportunity to highlight the healthcare coverage options available to my clients.
- I accept health insurance, health savings account (HSA), and fee for service clients.
- I am an approved provider with:
- Excellus Blue Cross Blue Shield
- Aetna
- Other insurance companies (as an out of network provider)
If your insurance provider is not listed, you may be able to pay for fee for service with a pre-tax healthcare savings vehicle, such as a Flexible Spending Account or HSA. Consult with your employer or health insurance company to learn more.
Last year, I worked with several clients to maintain their level of care while effectively navigating the health insurance landscape. This included seeking out pre-authorizations or offering more tailored, focused sessions prior to families having met their annual deductibles.
My mission has and will remain the same as stated on the homepage of this website:
“I will work with you to improve your quality of life”
Being on both sides of the health insurance system as a provider and a patient, I understand how challenging it can be to read the tea-leaves of ever-evolving health insurance coverage.
At the beginning of a New Year, I don't want client progress hindered or halted because of insurance changes. So let's work together in 2017 to focus on quality of life through behavioral change rather than getting bogged down in details while perseverating on the fine print.
