Don’t need credentialing right now but have questions about Michigan’s credentialing landscape, mental health billing, or how to get started as an LMSW or LPC in Michigan?
After 5 years in mental health billing and credentialing, I have collected knowledge that can only be gained by sitting on the phone with BCBS often enough that you know the hold music. I would love to save you that time by sharing what I know.
Let’s chat! I am happy to offer one-hour consultation meetings to support your goals in any way I can. Don’t hesitate to reach out with initial questions to find out if a consultation meeting is right for you!
Hi! I’m Sam.
I started Brighter Billing because I believe mental health professionals are indispensable gifts who deserve to be treated with the ultimate care and respect. The work you do is important and I’m passionate about taking the red tape off of your plate so that you can focus on your clients.
When I’m not navigating Michigan’s insurance landscape, you can find me cuddled up at home in North Dakota with my incredibly supportive spouse, Justin and incredibly unsupportive cat, Bailey. I enjoy reading scary books, watching happy movies, and spending as many warm days outside as possible. My favorite hat to wear is being Aunt Sambi to my niece and two nephews.
I spend the rest of my work life supporting Lansing, MI’s Rooted Counseling with anything I possibly can as a full time Client Care and Billing Coordinator.
