Billing/Insurance Hotline

The Missouri Society for Clinical Social Workers is pleased to announce an exciting new member benefit. Society member and LCSW Susan Frager has generously offered to provide an insurance/billing hotline for members.

Susan has operated Psych Administrative Partners for eight years, a nationwide service specializing in billing and filing insurance claims for all types of mental health providers. She has taught graduate courses on managed care issues and presented at professional conferences.

Effective immediately, Missouri Society Members will receive 30 minutes worth of telephone consultation with Susan per calendar year. Susan’s normal fee for this service is $75 an hour.

The free 30 minutes can be used all at once or in two 15-minute consultations. For consultations beyond the 30-minute member benefit, Susan is offering a discounted Missouri Society member rate of $60 per hour. She also can provide you with a customized contract rate for ongoing service.

“I'm passionate about the fact that the business of private practice is something we don't learn about in graduate school,” Susan said. “Staying with only self-pay clients is great if you can make a living doing it, but a lot of clients can only afford mental health care if covered in part by their insurance.”

Members can contact Susan to set up a consultation at (636) 464-8422.
