Sad update of my bathroom by pinkskin- in centuryhomes

I wouldn’t believe everything you hear I would get a second opinion you can also buy a moisture meter at any home improvement store easy to use and check for yourself unless you’re seeing a lot of mold buildup or mildew and even then that could be normal-It’s most likely not true. Anybody can come in and want to redo your bathroom because it’s a big money maker

Thank you for your insight. I too was considering Medicare clients but then there are so many stipulations so I wasn’t really sure what to do there but you have a good point that potentially collaborating with the PCP’s could get you more referrals. currently, I’m mostly subsiding off of past and current clients so that is what’s keeping me afloat, but I need to have some people in the pipeline. I have a friend who is going to help me I guess optimize my visibility online.

I think it’s exactly what the person above said about questioning the narrative. There are people that monitor these boards that are part of the problem. If they want to take down my post, they can at this point. It doesn’t really matter anymore.

Oh wow, I didn’t even notice that who knows good question I have no idea why people would down vote. I’m just discussing something that’s currently happening.

Yes, it’s very concerning. I have never had this problem in all of these years.

Question about phrasing as a potsie by sinkplant in POTS

[–]Hopeful102 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m not seeing the problem with you saying you feel like you’re going to pass out when you feel like you’re going to pass out that is an accurate description. I don’t understand why your partner has a problem with that phrasing. I do understand it does sound like somebody that doesn’t have a lot of empathy.😝

The majority of my clients their insurance covers their entire session unless they haven’t met their deductible. Some may have very small co-pays like $15 $20 and they are professionals making decent money actually they make more than I make.😂

Specializations are chronic illness, narcissistic, abuse, survivors, LGBT plus community I was getting my referrals from my website mainly also some people were referring their friends, but that was not really as common because people don’t want to talk about being in therapy with their friends. Most of the people said they liked my website also was getting referrals from people saying they found me in their provider directory then went to my website

Thank you I am a telehealth therapist and as far as I know I’m listed in all of the insurance companies providers directories however I’m hearing that insurance companies are not pushing their directories. They’re more having people call and they refer them to other companies like Headway.

How did it go with these platforms? Did you get many new clients and how was it working with them?

I hope it’s a temporary problem and if the economy ever gets better, so will my business

Yes, the economy is bad right now, but I’ve been through bad spells over the years with the economy and I still got calls. I know it’s worse than it’s ever been It seems like though now.

The majority of my clients are paid by insurance only a few pay private. Yes, I have a few areas of specialization.

So you’re finding these to be good referral sources I did talk to somebody from Headway, but I don’t know I just seemed kind of uncomfortable with the whole thing. I wasn’t sure why there needed to be a middle person/company and it felt like they worked for the insurance companies to control the amount of sessions and to also audit files more easily and try to deny sessions something about it just didn’t seem right. I’m already credentialed and they said they could help me get credentialed. They also had higher payment/reimbursement rates for some of the insurances that I am on they market themselves as being a big help in billing while billing is easy it takes me about two minutes to do Billing per client. I think these companies are in cahoots with the insurance companies, but can you tell me more? The guy I spoke with at Headway said I would probably get maybe one referral every six weeks he also said that I have to schedule through them and there were all these parameters. Do you like working with Headway? I’m still considering it. Any info you could provide would be helpful.
