Upcoming Town Halls
NAMI CA Townhall | Navigating Mental Health Insurance with Kantor & Kantor, LLP
This Town Hall is designed to educate patients and their families about health insurance policies and ways to get insurance benefits paid for mental health treatment. From understanding plan terms, reading Explanation of Benefits, and submitting appeals, the Town Hall aims to provide 10 ways in which patients can advocate for themselves to maximize their insurance coverage.
Attorneys Cari Schwartz and Elizabeth Green from the law firm Kantor & Kantor represent patients and their families to get health benefits paid. Elizabeth and Cari submit appeals and litigate cases across the country to recover health benefits for their client’s mental health treatment. Their cases involve a wide variety of mental illnesses such as eating disorders, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia, at all levels of care including inpatient, residential, and day treatment programs. Through their work, Elizabeth and Cari strive to bring awareness to the need for mental health treatment and insurance benefits to pay for it.
