I wanted to let everyone know that Google has corrected my address; however, "they" continue to refuse to verify my business because I do not have "permanent signage that is not easily altered." I do not know how much access I have been given to update my Google Listing. I will be focusing on my Yelp page and listing because Yelp has done more to support my small business. Here is the link to my Yelp listing:

Specialties: Donald Charlson has been licensed as a Registered Nurse since 1994 and a Licensed Acupuncturist since 1998. He has studied Oncology Acupuncture with Yair Maimon, Ph.D., L. Ac., and is the only Licensed Acupuncturist in Maine to belong to the Society of Integrative Oncology.

Several people has asked about my progress in opening Maine Zen Den Acupuncture & Wellness, being able to take insurance and provide acupuncture. Here is where I am at:

- I am having difficulty "verifying" my Google Business Listing. Please be aware that if you Google me or my business, I am NOT at 383 U.S. Route One in Scarborough. I am located at 2 Storer Street, Suite 401, Kennebunk. I am on the fourth floor of the Lafayette Center and located within The Well Holistic Solutions.

- As a result of my ongoing challenges with Google, I have set up a Yelp page, which can be found here: https://www.yelp.com/biz/maine-zen-den-acupuncture-and-wellness-kennebunk?uid=5p3O5w7dufoxpDiZT_C6VQ&utm_campaign=www_business_share_popup&utm_medium=copy_link&utm_source=(direct)

- I have submitted updated information regarding being able to take insurance. Here is my progress to date:
* Cigna: All paperwork is set and I am able to bill Cigna once I open for business.
* VA: Information has been submitted and I was informed that I would be called once there is a change of status. No timeline was given. It looks like "Hurry up and wait" isn't just meant for the military. : /
* Aetna and Anthem: All information has been submitted and everything should be updated in about a week.
* Community Health Options: All paperwork has been submitted.
* Optum and United Health Care: Even though I have been credentialed for the past six years, because I am working in another business (my own), I have to go through the entire process for credentialing. I have been told this will take three months to complete.
* Tivity: All paperwork has been submitted.
* Harvard Pilgrim: All paperwork has been submitted.

Once I finish building my electronic medical record and order the last few items, I will be open. I anticipate opening in the next one to two weeks. EVERYTHING has taken longer than originally anticipated and I apologize for any delay. I look forward to seeing all of you at my new location in Kennebunk!
