Ghost Networks Persist as Insurers Fail on Mental Health Access
Original: Ghost Networks Persist in Private Insurance as Fewer Than 1 in 4 Resolved Calls Booked Mental Health Visits
A report from Medical Daily highlights that private insurance 'ghost networks' remain a widespread problem, with fewer than one in four calls to in-network mental health providers resulting in a booked appointment. The finding points to insurers listing clinicians who are unreachable, not accepting patients, or no longer in network, leaving policyholders struggling to access covered mental health care despite paying premiums.
Why now: Concerns about insurance networks failing to deliver promised mental health access are drawing renewed scrutiny.
