Health Care Fraud – Mental Health Practitioner Beware!

Those who know better don’t always choose to do better.  Check out this press release from the U.S. Department of Justice for a clear reminder of the need for therapists to know what they are doing before they make the choice to file insurance for their clients.

Although I strongly recommend that you consider establishing / transitioning your practice to fee-for-service clientele, it is critical that therapists and other  health care professionals have a basic understanding of working cooperatively with insurance companies and Employee Assistance Programs.

If you have questions about these, drop me a line and let me know.  I’ll do my best to answer them!
