  • Ken Pope has created a web page to help professionals to find volunteer opportunities that best fit the professional's interests, values, and available time.
Rumor Alert:

·  Too often practitioners learn of coming changes only by chance. Anthem – CA Blue Cross may be planning, as of Jan 2010, to manage all out patient mental health services. The word is they will only authorize 12 sessions to any provider (in or out of network), after which, providers will have to submit treatment plans.

Notice:

  • Many of the links in this e-zine are to newspaper articles.  These links often  expire.  If they have expired, you most likely will still find them at the internet archive.  Copy the expired link and then click here and paste the expired link in the box next to the button that says Take Me Back.  Then click the button and you will most likely find the article.  If it is not there chances are you are out of luck.

Future Issues:

  • Contributions to future issues of this e-zine are  invited and appreciated.  Please send original contributions as well as links to information you feel is pertinent to amha-info@nwlink.com .  We can not guarantee that any submission will be used.
