Hi JD,
"CAQH is the Council for Affordable Quality Healthcare
, Inc., a not-for-profit collaborative alliance of the nation's leading
health plans
and networks."
Everybody in private practice needs to put their credentials and liability
insurance information on their website, especially if you think that
insurance companies or other organizations may want to see it. It is almost
a law now. Smile.
I use an electronic signature also. Sometimes it is difficult to explain to
some clients where they need to sign on forms. I think that a stamp sounds
like a good idea, but I am not sure if it is legal. But on the other hand as
they say, don't get caught, cause that's a crime. Grin.

Paulette

Hi Paulette:

What is a CAQH?

Signatures - for progress notes and other PC generated forms I use a digital

signature, just press a couple of keys and the document is signed.  For 
other documents that I have generated myself I place the witness or 
therapist signatures in the same region of the form and sign away.

For other forms I rely on other staff to quickly move a signature card to 
the line, an option you do not have in private practice.  I have been 
looking into obtaining a signature stamp.

Hi JD,

I am glad to connect with you again. How do you handle getting signatures
from clients on the right form and in the right place? How about using CAQH?
And, what do you do about filling out forms?

Paulette

Hello Paulette:

Good to hear from you.

We spoke several years ago by 'phone and again at NFB Convention, when you
were getting started.  It is very good hearing that you are moving ahead
with your practice.

I work as a psychotherapist in Daytona Beach with a full time job working in

child & adolescent mental health and, additionally, in a private practice,
mostly at this time prividing supervision for registered interns toward
their licensure requirements.

Great to have you back in the Division.

JD

Hello Paulette!
I am always eager to embrace anyone from my old Kentucky home! I was
born in Louisville and most of my people live in Henderson except for my
sister who lives in Louisville. I now live in Phoenix Arizona and am a
student at Grand Canyon University. I attended the Carver School of Social
Work at Southern Seminary for a while.
I am looking forward to your postings and welcome you to the list.

Regards,

Michael "Big Dog" Abell

Hi all,

Oh my, it feels so good to actually find a list for and comprised of, blind
human service professionals! Now I can talk with colleagues without feeling
sort of left out and alone.

Here is my introduction to the list.

My name is Paulette Vickery and I live in Louisville Kentucky. I have been
married for 42 years to a sighted man. We have 6 grown children, 3 boys and
3 girls. They range in age from 39 to 27.

We have 11 grandchildren, 6 granddaughters and 5 grandsons. They range in
age from 12 years to 3 years.

We also live in a single dwelling house and have 2 cats, male and female.

I attended the Kent School of Social Work, at the University Of Louisville
and graduated in 1997. I subsequently returned in 1998 and received a
specialization in Marriage And Family Therapy, in 2000.

I worked for a public mental health agency for 2 and a half years. While I
was there I obtained my LCSW and my LMFT.

In 2003, I began a solo private practice, which I still maintain.

I used to work both from home and an office with a few other therapists. But
my practice is small and I got tired of going to the trouble and often
expense of getting transportation to the office, only to get a no show. So
now, all clients come to my home. It works much better this way.

I have recently applied to become both a Medicaid and a Medicare provider. I
have heard from both of them that I have been approved, now I am continuing
to go through the tedious process of being able to actually see Medicaid and
Medicare clients.

I am on several insurance company panels and have just added 4 more that
take Medicaid and Medicare. I hope that my clientele and my bank account,
increase quickly.

I am looking forward to talking with other private practitioners and other
psychotherapists to exchange ideas and experiences on and off the job.

Paulette Vickery LCSW
