Overwhelmed by the maze of services involved in parenting a newborn or older child with support needs?

If you are...

Grappling with a recent diagnosis of a medical or developmental disability for your child and require assistance to most effectively access health plan benefits to fund recommended services.

Limited in your ability to spend the necessary hours during the business day to submit superbills, to pursue payment on claims or to initiate medical pre-authorizations.

Requiring assistance to schedule appointments or to complete the extensive documentation needed to begin therapy services or join a wait list.

Leslie Lobel spent the first 15 years of her career in television production. After the birth of her second daughter and the subsequent revelation of her child’s complex support needs came a period of personal redirection. Her family strived to create an intervention program, cultivate relationships with medical specialists and navigate the bureaucracy of insurance billing and claim reimbursement. Tasks for which her production skills proved invaluable.

A major career shift ensued. For the next 10 years Ms. Lobel blended her personal experience and professional acumen in the role of intake coordinator, scheduler and insurance liaison for a private Westside PT, OT and Speech therapy clinic. In the following years she has helped hundreds of families resolve health plan issues. She expanded and deepened professional connections with local service providers and managed community outreach programs.

There are many issues that arise as families move through the childhood years of a child with disabilities. Leslie Lobel now offers support and guidance directly to families who are navigating the organizational maze and practical challenges of raising a child with medical or developmental disabilities.
