3 Practice Problems a Wishup VA Fixes Before Your First Session

  • Your Day Starts Before You're Ready

    Your EHR and personal calendar never match. Screening scores aren't pulled. Insurance is unconfirmed. Your VA fixes all of it before you log in.

  • Insurance Verification Has No End

    CBT coverage is a different call from EMDR. Prior auths expire mid-treatment. Hold times run two hours. Your VA owns every verification, follow-up, and denial.

  • Empty Slots You Could Have Filled

    Mental health no-show rates run 19-30%. Tiered reminders at 72hrs, 24hrs, and 2hrs catch most. When a slot opens anyway, your VA calls the waitlist the same hour.

I have been using the services of Wishup for close to half a year now and I truly feel this is one of the best investments I have made.

If a job can be outsourced to a VA we first do that, instead of hiring a full time employee. This gives a unique execution advantage as hiring a VA takes in a few days rather than spending a few months hiring.
