Thank you to Times Union for publishing this letter to the editor by Kaitlyn Kelly, MS, MT-BC, LCAT about the urgent need to pass comprehensive Medicaid & commercial health insurance coverage for psychotherapy services provided by Licensed Creative Arts Therapists (LCATs).

MENTAL HEALTHCARE AT WORK PLACE Well, even today, it's a taboo to discuss mental health. Many go through depression but do not acknowledge or seek help 😕 😪 Unfortunately, Mental Healthcare is not covered by Medical Insurance 😕 😞 What one is, truly depends on one's mental health but why mental health is not taken seriously ?? And covered by Medical Insurance?? #NASCOMPANY is contributing $150 to each employee towards mental health. Honestly, this is a great step forward!! Appreciate #NASCOMPANY for acknowledging Mental Healthcare and it's efforts to contribute towards the same Hope more organizations come forward and acknowledge mental health care. #VRUTHII - ACCELERATING YOUR ASPIRATIONS #BK2WRK - BUILDING RELATIONSHIPS IN EQUITY VIDEO COURTESY - Nuseir Yassin ***

#NAMICon, here I come!   Leaving for #Denver soon for the #NAMI annual meeting and the opportunity to introduce Cover My Mental Health to #mentalhealth advocates from across the country.     Among the obstacles to mental health care are #stigma, #networkadequacy, and #insurancedenials.   I founded @Cover My Mental Health to support self-advocacy to overcome insurance obstacles to mental health care, like #medicalnecessity #denials, no in-network provider, and blocked access to #telehealth.   We offer a range of free resources, including medical necessity letter templates, key point scripts for talking to insurers, worksheets to demonstrate no in-network provider, and more!   My goals for #Denver: 1. Schedule webinars with NAMI affiliates to share Cover My Mental Health in their communities; 2. Invite NAMI affiliates to add Cover My Mental Health tips to their newsletters; and  3. Gain commitments for links to Cover My Mental Health on advocacy websites to increase awareness of our resources; and  4. Try a #bison burger or some #Rocky Mountain oysters.     DM me to schedule a meet-up.  #YouAreNotAlone even when it comes to insurance.    

Happy World Mental Health Day! We are grateful for policies that support our work. The inclusion of Mental health as part of the health services that private and government insurance providers cover. These are great strides in ensuring that no matter where one lives, or one's age, one can access the highest level of mental health services. There is still much to be done to increase the accessibility to affordable preventative and curative mental health care. #mentalhealth #worldmentalhealthday2023

Sjogren's is an autoimmune disorder that primarily affects your body's moisture-producing glands, leading to symptoms like dry eyes and dry mouth. However, its impact goes beyond just discomfort; it can significantly affect your quality of life, interfering with daily activities and overall wellbeing.

Many people are unaware of how pervasive the condition is, or how it can be linked to more serious health issues if left untreated. Raising awareness is the first step towards understanding and empathy for those affected. Navigating the complexities of insurance coverage for treatments can be daunting for individuals living with Sjogren's. At Kantor & Kantor, LLP, we specialize in helping patients secure the insurance benefits they're entitled to, ensuring they can access the necessary treatments without undue stress or financial burden.
