Press Release FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
” Open Door Billing LLC Launches to Bridge Insurance Credentialing Disparities in Minority Mental Health Care and provide more mental health access to all communities.”
Long Beach, CA — Open Door Billing LLC, founded by Frances Latimer, is excited to announce its launch during Mental Health Awareness Month. Frances brings her journey of overcoming a severe injury to champion equal access to mental health care. Open Door Billing’s mission is to address the systemic credentialing disparities that disproportionately affect minority mental health providers, creating significant barriers in care for African American and Latino communities.
Minority mental health providers often face daunting challenges, from intricate paperwork to low reimbursement rates and high denial rates in credentialing, particularly with Medicaid and Medicare in California. Insurance credentialing, the process by which healthcare providers gain approval from insurance companies to offer covered services, is crucial for expanding patient access and ensuring mental health providers are fairly compensated. Open Door Billing LLC provides tailored services to navigate these obstacles effectively, ensuring providers can focus on patient care without bureaucratic distractions.
