Therapist Private Practice & Insurance Paneling Watch

Track the business of mental health private practice in the United States. Report only confirmed, source-backed items from the last 7 days: paneling openings, closures, credentialing changes and reimbursement rate changes for therapists, counselors, social workers and psychologists at UnitedHealthcare and Optum, Aetna, Cigna and Evernorth, Elevance and Carelon, Blue Cross plans, Kaiser, Magellan, Medicare and state Medicaid programs; Counseling Compact, PSYPACT and Social Work Compact status changes and cross-state telehealth rules; clinician rate, fee and policy changes at Alma, Headway, SonderMind, Grow, Rula, BetterHelp, Talkspace, Lyra and Spring Health; No Surprises Act and good faith estimate rule changes; price changes at SimplePractice, TherapyNotes, Jane and other practice software; supervision, licensing and continuing education rule changes by state; insurer audit and clawback waves; and state parity enforcement actions affecting payment. Prefer insurer provider bulletins, CMS, state licensing boards and legislatures, compact commissions, platform pages and established behavioral health reporting; ignore marketing and unverified posts. Put the insurer, state or platform first in the title with the rate or date. Use high severity for a rate cut of $10 or more per session at a top-5 insurer, a panel closure in a state, a compact going live, or an audit wave. Return no more than 6 findings. Push each as a finding with a title, a two-sentence summary, sections for what changed, who it affects, what to do, the date, and the source link. If nothing qualifies, push nothing and submit the run receipt.
