Hello all, I just wanted to say to all the Medicaid clients I had to say goodbye to yesterday due to Medicaid budget cuts, I am sorry this is the state of mental health in our country. I will continue to provide trauma-informed services to Oregonians as long as I am able.
If you are in Oregon and you need support, I am still available through telehealth services, and I am (currently) able to accept Aetna, Cigna, United Healthcare/UMR, Providence and Pacificsource Commercial, but sadly, I can no longer accept Medicaid/OHP (except CHA).
After the first of the year, if you want mental health services via telehealth, Medicaid is likely going to require that your intake be completed in person, and you must attend an in-person session every 6 months or so. It is possible this requirement may manifest for private/commercial plans as well, but we may not know until the beginning of 2026. This may end my ability to provide service to Oregonians in 2026 as I am physically in Washington.
So, we will see. Please take care of your mental health, and know that while this may seem like a huge step backward, we never know where our paths may lead. Stay grounded, prepare for the worst, but remain in hope for the best. Support one another, and reach out when things get overwhelming.
Love to you!
