Hello All-

I am completing a grant with a hospital looking at the effectiveness of using hypnosis in lieu of sedation for closed MRI.  To finish the project, I need to identify how the hospital can bill for such services in the future.

 

Rather than reinventing the wheel, I would like to contact several hospitals that have hypnosis as a service and are currently billing insurnaces and Medicare.

 

I am striking out.  I have serached the web, called IMDHA and  contacted several other hypnotherapists.  If any of you can identify hospitals in the US that have a hypnotherapist on staff and bill for their services, could you please let me know?

 

Thanks in advance.

The hospital in Mendocino has declared itself a healing center and lists hypnotherapists on its page for complementary medicine. I'm not sure how they bill. Excellent hypnotherapist Alena Guest was the first to affiliate with the hospital and may have some information. I'm sure she'd be happy to help....

Yes, please keep us updated on your progress and what you learn, both good and bad.
Thanks Stephanie.  I put in a call to Alena but I suspect that each of those practitioners bill for themselves.  I am glad to have the connection and will follow up with her.  Thanks again for your response.  Linda Iverson, RN, MN, CHt

Hello Linda....a good resource is to contact Paul Durbin  pgdurbin@hotmail.com

He is a Chaplain and certified hypnotheapist, I believe he is now retired, but worked doing hypnotherapy for a number of years in a methodist hospital. He has an interesting background.   I am sure he would have good information for you. Good luck in your endeavor.

HI Linda,

 

I sent you Bonnie Miller's contact info - Bonnie is the certified hypnotherapist who replaced Paul when he retired. I am confident that she will be happy to help you if she can.

 

Feel free to tell her that Michael Ellner sent you - 

 

Consider me a resource.

 

Michael E.
