We’re honored to share that Mark DeBofsky was prominently featured in an USA Today / Milwaukee Journal Sentinel article addressing the troubling practices of insurance companies overruling mental health providers.
The article,’ You have depression, PTSD, anxiety. Then, without even an exam, your leave is denied.
