Hey therapists, I've just seen that 7 Cups is creating a "directory" including therapists not employed by them and are generating listings without the consent or input from the therapist they're listing. Check to see if they've stolen your information.

Today is #springequinox in the northern hemisphere ☀️🌙 I'm thinking about equilibrium and noticing blooms and birdsong🌱🌷🪻🐦🎶 how do you manage boundaries and maintain #equilibrium?

Last year I was awarded the honour of becoming a Hakomi trainer! You can read more about this on my blog aswell as a poem I wrote about it https://jamiefearn.co.uk/2025/02/04/on-becoming-a-trainer/ #love #community #trainer #hakomilancaster #embodiment #therapistsofmastadon #therapistsconnect #jamiefearntherapy

Seeing buds and early signs of #spring 🌱🌷🪻and thinking of the #liminalspace between hibernation/rest and waking/activity - it doesn't always feel a choiceful place for me. How do you navigate this?

I wish for you a year ahead filled with spaces where you can be fully yourself and connection with those you love, including yourself.

I know this time of year isn't easy for everyone. I thought I'd share some places that offer support, so that if you or someone you love is struggling, there are options for support #copingatchristmas #christmas  #christmastime #newyear2025 #therapistsofmastodon #therapistsconnect

Hey, #therapistsOfMastodon, esp those practicing exclusively online:

I'm looking for a secure online form platform that's HIPAA compatible and offers a BAA for not unreasonable money, and is standalone (NOT part of a whole practice management/EHR/telehealth package).

Whatcha using and do you like it?

I'm looking at FormHippo, which is very cheap (which is good, I need cheap) but also looks rather sketchy. Opinions on it?

Hey, therapists, you might want to check out this article on WP about a rare but serious and potentially fatal side effect of a number of meds, including two used for treating bipolar, Tegretol (carbamazepine) and Lamictal (lamotrigine).

It's called DRESS aka drug-induced hypersensitivity syndrome:

>DRESS is a delayed reaction, experts warn, with symptoms appearing as much as two weeks after the first dose of medication.

Patients reporting fever + rash after starting a new medication of one of the types known to have this potential should be instructed to seek medical care immediately.

UPDATE: I see lots of people of suddenly just discovered this series of posts.

It is still the case that providers are not being paid.

You might be interested in seeing this post that showed up on Reddit yesterday, by a therapist who was already getting stiffed by insurance company shenanigans before this started, and has now gone 4 months without being paid:
https://www.reddit.com/r/therapists/comments/1bpihpv/2024_has_convinced_me_to_become_a_private_pay/

("Credentialed" here means "signed up to take an insurance with an insurance company".)

Much angsty discussion ensues among therapists about taking insurance.

And here's an account just published of doctors having not been paid for a month:
https://www.ctinsider.com/columnist/article/doctors-struggle-change-healthcare-shutdown-19366494.php

It points out something that the Reddit post alludes to: providers apparently can't submit prior authorization requests, either. That means that when they DO submit bills for those services, they'll be denied.

Some hero leaked a recording of a phone call between UnitedHealth's COO and some hospital cybersecurity officers to STAT News - https://www.statnews.com/2024/02/29/change-healthcare-cyber-attack-outage-will-last-for-weeks/ - in which the COO seemed to suggest the outage might go on for weeks.

Which, honestly, would not be surprising. When ransomware took out Harvard Pilgrim Health Plan, it was down for like three months.

So a lot of people don't know this is happening, including a lot of the people it is happening to:

Some very large amount of health care providers in the US are not getting paid by insurance right now, including a large number of psychotherapists, a third of a million physicians, and about 25% of pharmacies.

This is because their claims processing systems run against UnitedHealth's Change Healthcare, a claims routing service, and Change Healthcare has been down for a week, the victim of a "cyberattack" apparently by a notorious ransomware gang.

The news has only really started covering this in the last few days, and particularly today. The search string "Change Healthcare" submitted to news.google.com will probably turn up an abundance of information about the situation for those who want to know more.
