Obtaining Treatment Authorization in the Complex World of Insurance

Описание: Navigating our healthcare system can be a difficult maze, especially with mental health issues. But when your loved one's life is on the line, you just want to get them help as fast and effectively as possible. Most insurance policies have a designated appeal process, but the ideal scenario would be to get a "yes" on the first request for treatment authorization. This webinar is designed to put you in the best possible place to get that yes. We discuss the rights and coverage people should look for in their policies, how to leverage mental health parity, how to put together complete documentation and the impact of the Affordable Healthcare Act. We will also touch on the appeals process so you can be prepared in case you have go down that road. Dawn Lee-Akers is the insurance specialist for Diabulimia Helpline, a non-profit organization dedicated to support, education and advocacy for people struggling with diabetes and eating disorders.
