Citra Family Health Clinic Faces Financial Crisis Amid Insurance Dispute

Physician Associate Nicole Perrone at Citra Family Health Clinic in Florida reveals the clinic's struggle to stay open due to decreasing reimbursements.
Insurance Network Closure Threat
Perrone mentions that despite the change in ownership, the clinic is facing closure due to the network's alleged shutdown. They have reached out to insurance companies like United Healthcare, Humana, and Blue Cross Blue Shield.
Lack of Credentialed Insurance
Perrone explains that without proper insurance credentials, the clinic is unable to bill insurance, leaving patients without affordable healthcare access.
Patient Impact and Unique Situations
Patients like Thomas Stout express their concern as the clinic's potential closure would make it challenging for them to access care, especially for those who rely on unconventional modes of transportation like lawnmowers.

The future of Citra Family Health Clinic hinges on these crucial decisions, impacting both staff and patients significantly.
