Join us on May 21st to participate in an engaging panel discussion with the top experts from Sharp Health Plan, along with Sharp Mesa Vista inpatient and outpatient centers and Psychiatric Centers of San Diego to demystify the mental health benefit. We will be challenging the panelists with a series of questions to related to how patients can access care in San Diego, how diagnoses are provided to insurance companies, what insurance companies look for in diagnosis to approve/deny claims, the referral process as it relates to HMO, how mental health relates to alcohol and drug abuse claims, etc. You’ll walk away from this luncheon with a better understanding of how this benefit works from both the carrier standpoint and the provider standpoint, and be able to relay thisinformation to your clients.
