[humanser] recluting patients? Insurance?

[Karen Rose]

Yes insurance panels recruit providers through their provider relations departments. While they often say that they are fall especially in the metropolitan areas I found that when I asked them how many blind providers they had in network they indicated that they did not know and they were willing to add me to their network simply because they did not know if they had any other blind providers. I had difficulty filling out all of the applications to join provider networks and hired a billing office Office to do this for me 20 years ago. I continue to use this biller for absolutely all of my insurance paperwork including billing and recredentialing and requesting more sessions and every other form of paperwork nonsense. She is Faned I know that she also works with another blind provider in another state. Her name is Stone and her number 510-220-0660. I very very highly recommend her.

White not apply to all of the major insurance companies to become a provider. Check it out provider relations department for each insurance company –

>> HI guys
>> I'm seeking ideas on how to reclut patients? I used to have my practice about fifteen minutes walking distance from my old house, thus my folks would walk me there to attend. However I've moved, thus here at home I'm wanting to start again recluting patients; letting them know I'm available, also maybe getting patients from around this area, but how?
>> 1.-For about four months, I'I've been doing an online psychology program via an online station radiogeneral.com hoping to maybe atract patients locally, but is Internet radio an everyday thing so that people listen to it? I've been tweeting with the hashtag of #Tampico to see if maybe locally I attract? Also word of mouth by relatives?
>> 2.-Apart from word of mouth, any other ideas of maybe writing up and distributing flyers?
>> Thanks for info.
