“Helping Families Navigate the Insurance System When Dealing with Therapeutic Programs“

Accessing the benefits a patient is entitled to under his or her health plan contract requires an understanding of the most important factors that affect access to care and reimbursement. Unfortunately, most parents may not not have the time or expertise to understand the system or the policy language needed to deal with this by themselves.

Linda McKinney, explains to our audience the techniques she uses to help parents successfully access benefits for their teens who require out-patient, in-patient, partial hospitalization, day treatment, and residential treatment programs.
