    Extended Benefits for Us?

    Posted by Christine Janev on January 30, 2023 at 6:03 pm

    Hello group, I am wondering if anyone has any information on how mental health providers can access extended health benefits/health insurance? I am in private practice and lost my benefits when I quit my full time job. I am at an age when health benefits would be most useful and seem not to know where to turn to access this information.

    Thanks!

    Hi Christine – that’s a great question. My husband, Joey Dimerman, can help with this. You can reach him at joey@insurancesolutions4u.ca. My apologies if this this appears self serving, but since you asked, and I think he’s the best (although I am a little biased). Actually, I’m thinking that if enough of us were interested in receiving health and dental coverage, that he may be able to put together a discounted rate for members of Refer To Me. If anyone else is interested in this, please let me know. I will talk to him to see if this is a possibility and if it is, I will send out info in our next newsletter, too.

      Thank you Sara….I will contact him for sure….let’s keep it in the ‘family’ 🙂 I think this is a great idea as well as I am sure I am not the only one looking into it. Lot’s of information out there but super confusing.

        Hi Christine. Joey is open to meeting with you alone or in a group format. He is proposing a group format on Tuesday May 9 at 8pm to talk to us about extended health coverage options. Are you available that night or would you prefer to meet another time one on one?

      Hi Sara,

      I would be interested in a bundle also. For now, I will talk to him about coverage for me and my family.

        Hi Elena – would you like to reach out to Joey yourself or should I give him your contact info?

        At the time that I last spoke to him about a group program for all of us, there wasnt such a thing, but he says that there is a new product he is going to look into for us, too.
