Private Practice Caucus

Sara Wolosiansky, Private Practice Professional Practice Representative

Thank you to everyone who participated in the Private Practice Caucus. The snow didn’t keep us from having a lively discussion!  A special thank you to Patty Fisher for sharing the video clip/commercial to promote our profession.

The focus of the caucus was indeed how we can better promote our practices and the profession, and how OSLHA may assist in those endeavors.  The following were suggestions/goals for the upcoming year.  These will be incorporated into OSLHA's short and long range plans.

*Encourage distribution of already available media, whether it be a TV or radio commercial, articles, handouts, etc.

*Suggest OSLHA continue to market our profession, increasing the visibility and availability of marketing efforts to its members

*Initiate a "thank you" campaign to formally recognize organizations and individuals who have been consistently supportive to our profession to encourage them to continue and to show our appreciation (e.g. Sertoma, etc.)

*Distribute information to members pertaining to various insurance initiatives. Share "tried and true" tactics to pass on to our consumers, human resource directors, and directors of third party reimbursement, to assist in appealing denials and increasing coverage.


As the OSLHA private practice representative, my annual goal is to speak to each of you who have listed "private practice" as your primary work setting.  I want to learn how you feel OSLHA, in addition to the above recommendations, can assist you in growing professionally.
