Hi all,
Long story short, I’ve been working with a fantastic therapist in CA who has recently come into some serious financial trouble.
He is an older gentleman who is not particularly skilled with web interfaces. Due to an increasing number of insurance providers going paperless, subcontracting to other billing services, etc. he has struggled to stay on top of his business. Late last year he employed a 3rd party service to handle his billing.
It appears that this 3rd party (an individual) has reneged on their business arrangement, failing to bill 80+% of his sessions over the past 4 months.
He is now facing eviction and is financially destitute due to losing a majority of his life savings to a scam (there is a trend here). I am working to ensure my insurance company retroactively covers our sessions, but am keenly aware that I am out of my depth.
He has been a positive force in my life, and I hate to see someone working in mental health get absolutely shafted by his inability to keep up with technology and insurance companies terms of service. Yes he has been too trusting, and he accepts responsibility. However I don’t think this sweet old man deserves to end up on the streets.
Any recommendations or resources are appreciated. Thanks!
