Costco also provides a marketplace for health insurance for small businesses. Might be worth a look – https://www.costco.com/health-insurance-marketplace.html

Thank you Rebeka!

Thanks Nicole! They have asked repeatedly for the contracted amount for the CPT codes and were only given it for the doctor. AETNA claims there are facility fees which they don’t have the contracted amount for yet and other providers (likely anesthesiology) so they claim
that cannot give an estimate.

I appreciate the CMS link, I thought I had r…[Read more]

I actually looked into this more and that’s not true. There are exemptions available beyond the ones that the office gave you.

These state laws are based off of new Medicare l…[Read more]

Are they specifically looking in the U.S.?

There’s this other option

There are places in Europe and other techniques outside of hormone replacement that I’ve seen.

There was a Netflix program/episode on it.

I use Healthie and it’s free for up to 10 clients a month. It meets my needs so far.

I also work with difficult to diagnose symptoms and rare diseases with a speciality in EDS and Mast Cell-related syndromes. I also have experience with navigating pediatric genetic disorders.

I personally don’t ever feel like people are wasting my time (having conversations is a great way to learn more about what people need and are looking for) but I also try to really make sure I’m the right fit before I have a call.

Sam’s podcast on this issue is really good – https…[Read more]

Another thing to consider is that text isn’t self isn’t HIPAA compliant so you’ll want a different option (also prevents phone from buzzing).

I plan on using Healthie for many reasons but a big one is that they also have a secure messaging option. When clients have to log into another app to message, it saves a lot of the “instant access”…[Read more]

I’ve been doing text for a while (my clients prefer it) and it actually ends up (at least for me) being less time than I originally thought it would be and provides a real sense of value to my clients.

Usually texting back and forth lasts for no more more than 5-10 mins at a time if we are both present on our phones. Otherwise, it’s even les…[Read more]

Rebeka- good to know about your experience! That’s strange that there is only an app for end users. I didn’t realize that so that’s helpful information.

Thanks Janet – I too am working my way through it but haven’t gone live with it yet. I’d love to connect when you get it up and running and I can do the same. It looks really good on paper but I’m not sure how it will end up being in practice.

Lisa – I haven’t called her yet. Honestly, this process of finding business insurance has been quite time consuming and I still haven’t found the right fit.

I went through multiple rounds of contact with CMF and was left not feeling confident that they would be the right fit for me as they rely almost entirely on someone else defining the sco…[Read more]

I’ve been emailing with them and have been unable to get them to pin down exactly what professional services they cover. Apparently, their policies are contingent on whatever state laws, regulating agencies or certifying bodies govern your scope of practice.

I am a BCPA so I asked if the Code of Responsibility would count and haven’t been able to…[Read more]
