Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

I wrote a bill with @RonWyden to fix this problem. Insurance companies have a role to play in mental health care access, but ghost networks are just one example of them not doing their job. — PolitiTweet.org

Have you ever called a therapist’s office listed by your health plan only to find out they’re no longer covered by your plan, don’t accept new patients, or the number listed is plain wrong? These are ‘ghost networks’ and they make accessing mental health care extremely difficult. — PolitiTweet.org

Our bill tells big insurance companies they have to *actually* provide access to the care they promise. You can’t list providers that don’t accept patients anymore. You can’t keep lists of outdated phone numbers. If they don’t follow the rules, they can be fined. — PolitiTweet.org
