New Scholarship Reimbursement\u00a0Rates went into effect Dec 1st, 2022
<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
We are very excited to announce\u00a0that our scholarship rates have increased for\u00a0<\/span>private providers\u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/i>as of 12\/1\/22. For all those of you who have a private practice, and have submitted an invoice recently, you have been made aware of your specific rate increase in my response to you. If you are not yet aware, please reach out to me directly.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\n
\n
~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~<\/span><\/b><\/div>\n
Please continue to verify client benefits for all mental health scholarships!
<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
At the beginning of winter we had notified everyone of a change in policies for our scholarship referrals. We must\u00a0<\/span>re-emphasize the importance<\/i>\u00a0<\/span>of ensuring that you are\u00a0<\/span>in-network<\/b>\u00a0with the client’s insurance that you are seeing through our program. Please also ensure that you verify the client’s benefits so that you know whether their insurance is adequate or not. If they have good insurance, please bill insurance. If not, please bill our scholarship.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Lastly, if the client has a high deductible plan, and is interested in applying scholarship funds to their deductible, and able to pay the difference of what may not be covered by our rate, please go ahead with this if you feel confident in applying our scholarship reimbursement to the client’s deductible. Please reach out for any questions regarding this.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\n
\n
~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~<\/span><\/b><\/div>\n
Please refrain from backbilling scholarship sessions in 2023 and onward<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
As previously announced, we want to reiterate the importance of accurate and complete billing per month. Dates that are backbilled are unable to be reported by us to our grants and we lose out on recouping the money that would otherwise have been covered by grants. Please do your best to submit your billing on time (the 5th) and without past dates. We may only be able to approve backbilling in extenuating\u00a0circumstances going forward and on a case-by-case basis.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
**However, we will absolutely make exceptions if you are trying to bill insurance for your client and it does not work out, resulting in late billing. We are very much interested in trying to use insurance whenever possible, so please don’t let that get in the way of this. Bill insurance if you can, and if it doesn’t come through (even if months later) let me know and we’ll get it paid.<\/div>\n

Summit County Behavioral Health Education Fund
<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\n
The Summit County Behavioral Health Education Fund promotes behavioral health equity and staff development and retention by supporting career growth for those interested in becoming a licensed behavioral health provider and\/or help the community to retain existing behavioral health professionals. Through educational awards we have the potential to reduce a major gap in the behavioral health service spectrum \u2013 by increasing the number of licensed therapists and case workers in Summit County, therefore also filling gaps in available resources within the community.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/i><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/i><\/div>\n
The program, funded through Strong Future and RMHF grants, prioritizes applications that will help to reduce gaps in mental health services in Summit County (bilingual providers, etc.) and priority status can change as community needs change over time.\u00a0<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Please\u00a0find the attached Program overview for your reference and share this email and information with anyone who might be interested.\u00a0\u00a0<\/div>\n

Please reach out to the program administrator for questions: Kelly McGann\u00a0kelmcgann@gmail.com<\/a>.<\/div>\n
