Hi, Deb.
Most health insurances in Puerto Rico do not cover TMJ treatment neither. If her health insurance policy directly excludes services for such specific diagnosis, then they definitely won’t pay for it. If she doesn’t have the policy at hand to confirm if such exclusion was included, I mean if she’s only been told, my first suggestion would…[Read more]

Io, we have experience with several types of breast cancer including invasive ductal carcinoma that is hormone positive, but not at the VA or UCSD.

Deb Gordon started the topic Advice about TMJ coverage in the forum General Conversation 1 month, 2 weeks ago
Hello – We received an inquiry from a patient who needs surgery for TMJ, but is being told her insurance has a clause that excludes coverage for anything related to TMJ. Similarly, her dental insurance doesn’t cover it.
Is anyone familiar with such an exclusion and alternatives or ways around that limitation for someone who needs treatment and…[Read more]

We have many members in CA, but more in LA and NorCal than San Diego. Gabrielle Hochberg may know people in the area if she doesn’t handle breast cancer (she may) and Dana Hutson may know people in San Diego with the breast cancer specialty (b/c Dana specializes in cancer navigation/advocacy).

Hi everyone,
I am looking to connect with professional advocates in the San Diego area who have deep expertise in breast cancer. Ideally, they would also be familiar with the VA system and UCSD Medical.
I am trying to help a 48-year-old woman recently diagnosed with invasive ductal carcinoma (Grade 2, ER/PR positive) with metastases to the…[Read more]

Such good discussion and insights. I must admit that I’m quite overwhelmed. Since I’m not taking on individual clients, I’m not going to use a client management platform.
As for phones, I definitely want a separate phone line for my business. My brother-in-law has a line for his business that’s about $10/mo, and it goes directly to his main cell…[Read more]

You all are having some great discussions!
Regarding phones, I hated the idea of carrying around two phones. I decided on using an app that I have on my phone and laptop called Dialpad. It works great for me but one of my colleagues who took this course with me tried it and didn’t like it. Just goes to show how personal styles differ!
