Hoops, Hurdles and Holdups: Overcoming Private Insurance Barriers for Behavioral Health Providers
Despite enactment of the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act 15 years ago, individuals seeking treatment too often encounter coverage barriers. Renewed efforts at both the federal and state level to enforce existing laws and close coverage gaps are currently underway to realize parity and create a more equitable system. What rights and new tools do behavioral health providers, patients and advocates have to overcome denials of benefits? How can providers in Illinois and in other states leverage new regulations around medical necessity and network adequacy to improve access and reimbursement? Where can providers and patients turn for assistance?
This panel discussion features:
• Meiram Bendat, Attorney at Psych-Appeal, Inc.
• Lauren Finke, Policy Director, The Kennedy Forum
• Timothy Hauser, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Program Operations, Employee Benefits Security Administration (EBSA)
• Karen Wolownik Albert, CEO, Recovery Centers of America

    I’m just another person who came here thinking this might be Cathy O’briens daughter. It’s very clear that Kelly O’Brien wasn’t the impetus for Cathy to want to escape the life of hell she experienced in a daily basis. Maybe this is a different Kelly O’Brien, but she DID say in this video that “ She’s in recovery “. Today Cathy still seems very strong.. hope her daughter made it out of there too

    • @movingforwardLDTH
      @movingforwardLDTH Рік тому

      It isn’t a pentagram, it is a star with stars inside of it. Remember, Patrick Kennedy (co-founder of The Kennedy Forum along with Amy Kennedy) is the nephew of President John F. Kennedy. President Kennedy’s focus on building America’s space exploration capabilities helped us get to the moon before the Soviets. Reaching for the “stars” (when many people thought it couldn’t be done) resulted in huge technological advances for humankind. (See Douglas Brinkley’s boom “American Moonshot: JFK and the Great Space Race”. So that was an outward reaching for the stars. My interpretation: The Kennedy Forum focuses on improving people’s access to treatment for people suffering from mental health and substance use issues when so many people are either oblivious or ill-informed or thinking it can never happen. So it is appropriate that the logo has stars within the star, because the goals are within each of us - stars within the greater star of humankind.
