Friends and colleagues call me Karen the Social Worker. My podcast dives into the follies of navigating the healthcare system. I have 20 years of experience as a medical social worker and close to 10 years as a Certified Health Care Ethicist. Healthcare beats air travel as the #1, most complex industry in America. Let me offer a partial list of moving forces: hospitals, offices, insurance market, benefits, Affordable Care Act, levels of care, options, networks, FMLA, prescriptions, ancillary services, billing, government regulations, HIPAA, labs, disability, Medicare/Medicaid, treatment options, care plans, tests, rehab, medical records, specialties, equipment, supplies, patient rights, law, et al., — could there be any more parts? I know the system inside and out (even doctors and nurses consult me). Tune in for information, resources, and tools that will make traversing the system easier. I am your guide through the fog.
