As a new sole proprietor in the field of 
mental health, it can be easy to feel like a tiny little business surrounded by well-established (read “big dog”) clinics and group practices.
Today I was reading a post by Andrea Meyer, the CEO of Working Knowledge, who offers a few pointers on how to leverage your “little guy” position. Check out her blog post, How to Out-Compete a Larger Company, to see if there is a useful tip for you.
Been in practice for 30 years. No longer have an office. Damaged from storm. Working from home. Zoom, phone counseling. I have a UPS address for all mail. What address should I use on insurance forms. It’s all virtual. Occasionally will use office space if necessary.
Hi, Anne! Thanks for dropping in to chat. I imagine that there are many professionals who have lost their office space due to storms over the last few years so I welcome your question.
Read the fine print on your insurance contracts. Fewer companies require an actual street address and will accept a UPS address – the one where your mail goes to. Some may still require the physical address where your body actually sits (or stands). If the latter applies and you do not want to share it publicly, you can rent a mailbox in a location near you. However, that means that any communication sent to you will actually go to that rented mailbox location and that you will need to monitor it on a regular basis for potential checks and other communication that may arrive.
