A Social Work Student’s Perspective By Tonya Fishburne, SW Intern

With the current economic downturn, the job market is

looking bleak. As social work students about to gradu-

ate, this is a cause for concern. I asked a few peers en-

tering the job market how this was affec�ng them. At

what point should graduate students start seeking em-

ployment? Where do we look?

Growing up we were always told that in order to find

success and a well-paying job you need a college de-

gree. Living in today’s world is seems like you need a

college degree and a blessing! I find that in any job I’m

applying for, I have compe��on: other students. So

how can one make oneself more marketable than the

next person? Many students fear entering the job mar-

ket because of the chances of being turned down. Some

companies may say that you are too qualified because

you have a Master’s degree and some may say that

you’re not qualified enough.

Mollie Moody, MSW student, stated “a5er gradua�ng I

plan to move back to Virginia and look for a job in ther-

apeu�c foster care, with hopes of geFng my LMSW.” In

taking steps to seeking employment, Mollie has stayed

in contact with her undergraduate field placement

agency to see if any opening arises. She plans to seek

employment in the Virginia area, with the salary rang-

ing from $35k to $40k. Mollie does not feel that finding

a job will be difficult for her because social workers are

always needed. She has already started looking for jobs,

but will con�nue to look more around February of next

year.

Rachel Tubbs, also an MSW student, is not so confident

about finding a job. “A5er comple�ng my MSW degree

I plan to find a job, ideally in the health care seFng, but

with this economy I’ll take whatever job I can get.” Ra-

chel has not officially started looking for jobs, but she

has talked to several contacts back in Virginia about the

possibility of geFng a job in their agency. She has not

really thought about what salary range that she wants

to be in, but she would like to be in the upper $30k to

$40k range. Rachel said that she is afraid that finding a

job will be difficult, but she’s come to the conclusion

that a job is a job and she would be thankful for what-

It scaresme to think that thesearethefacesofhunger.

If hungerwas a contagious dis-ease, therewould bemass hys-teria at the rate it’s spreading.Just over the past six months,theHarvestHopeFoodBankhasseena42%increase indemandfor services to hungry families.InthePeeDeeArea,demandforfood assistance increased by145%--leaving their HarvestHope shelves bare beforeThanksgiving. For their entireservice area, a comparison of2010 with 2008 shows a stag-gering91%increase.

HarvestHopeisn’ttheonlyfoodbank that’s scrambling to meetneeds. The Low Country FoodBank, which serves the coastalregions of our state, reports atwelve-fold increase inneed forfood over the past ten years. Itreports that 54 percent of the190,000people it serveshad tochoose between food and utili-tiesduring theyear,32percentbetweenfoodandrentormort-gages, and 39 percent betweenfood and medical care. Howdoessomeonemakethischoice?

Utilization of SNAP (theSupplemental NutritionAssistance Program) mir-rors the trend. FromMarch 2008 to May 2011,the number of SNAP par-ticipants in South Carolinaincreased by 139,275 andtotal bene,its received bySNAP participants in-creasedby$53,729,281.

Yet in the face of thesegrowing needs, politicalrhetoric demands the endof such bene,its. The TeaParty, which has grownincreasinglypopularinourstate, rails about the“growthof the food stampindustry.” One commenta-torontheirwebsitestates:“the system cannot inde,i-nitelysustainthis‘growth.’I ask rhetorically, is theAmerican economy sup-posed to feed all hungrychildrenon the faceof theglobe?” (R.

“I think this is a terrific new benefit for our mem-bers,” said Carla Damron, Executive Director for the South Carolina chapter. “Participating in EAPrefer is an excellent opportunity for our mem-bers to build their private practice or supplement their existing income, with a program tailored to fit their schedule.”

EAPrefer has made it easy for members to partici-pate by prescreening and negotiating with select EAP network providers in South Carolina to pro-vide fair compensation. EAPrefer has also re-duced much of the paperwork and administrative burden by creating an easy system for members to sign up and begin receiving referrals.

To learn more about EAPrefer, requirements for participation, and to sign up please visit www.eaprefer.org or call 866-307-2325 to speak with a representative. The program launches mid-December in South Carolina.

NASW to Launch EAPrefer™

In South Carolina

Beginning the second week in December, NASW will launch EAPrefer™ in South Caroli-na. EAPrefer is an exciting new benefit – solely for NASW members - that put your expertise and experience as social workers to use as Employee Assistance Professionals.

By participating in EAPrefer, South Carolina NASW members can provide much-needed services to the community through the work-place, helping employees with issues ranging from substance abuse to childcare. Members have the opportunity to receive referrals from EAP network providers through a program that allows them to easily match qualified social workers with clients in need.

Happy Holidays

Meet Our New Office Manager:

Juliana Palyok

On November 7, 2011 I received a call from Carla Damron offering me the Office Manager position for the NASW-SC Chapter. I gladly accepted and my first day was November 10. Although I was familiar with what the job entailed I wasn’t quite sure what the NASW-SC Chapter really did. I knew it was a non-profit organiza-tion and I have always wanted to work for one because I feel that they care more about people and important is-sues and not about making money. So after only a few short days I see that this is a non-profit that takes care of their own as well as others.

Social work to me has always meant taking care of the ones who can’t care for themselves. Although this is true, social workers do more than just that. Since com-ing on board here I now see that their main goal is to make a difference. Not only for the less fortunate but for everyone. This profession is not for everybody it’s for the right somebody.

I have now been here a month and the transition here has been predominately smooth with the exception of a few things that I have had to learn from scratch. But the help and teachings from both Carla and Stacie have made this process so much easier. I feel as if this job will be both rewarding and challenging and I’m so ex-cited to be part of it.

Over five years ago my husband and I found out we were expecting our first child and that she had spina bifida. When we heard the news there were so many emotions that came over us. We decided that the best care for her would be for me to quit my job and stay at home with her. So for over the past four years I have been a stay at home mom to our daughter and learned very quickly that being a stay at home mom is the toughest job I have ever had. Before my daughter was born, I worked for a pre-fabrication company as an ad-ministrative assistant. I really enjoyed my job there but I am very fortunate to have been able to stay at home with my daughter. After a year or so of being at home I decided that I wanted to go back to school. So I en-rolled at the University of Phoenix and received my As-sociate in Health Administration in May 2010 and will have my bachelors in May of 2012. And after I fin-ished my associates I worked just a few hours a week for a pediatric physical therapist helping with some of her administrative duties. And in August of this year

my daughter started 4K which gave me the opportunity to go back to work. When looking for a job I knew I wanted to work in an environment that was focused on helping people and making a difference. As a mother of a special needs child, I saw firsthand how the system works and the changes needed. And lo and behold I have found the perfect oppor-tunity here at the NASW-SC Chapter.

Geting your Money from Insurance

Companies

By Judy Heath, Psychotherapist

I remember when I first set up my private practice a

hundred years ago. Naïve and full of energy, I fig-

ured – this will be fun! A great office downstairs in

my home, a nice little waiting room and I’m in busi-

ness! Oh yeah. Maybe one has to be a bit optimistic

to even attempt such things. I learned everything

the hard way.

Today I am happy to report that I have a thriving

private practice, the second one I’ve opened in my

career; the first one having been in New York. I

thought I’d share with my wonderful fellow Social

Workers some of what I’ve learned about billing

along the way.

For me it was important to get a Computer Program

that would help guide and organize me. At that time

“Therapist Helper” was one of the only programs

around, and I am still using it today. This allows me

to keep track of what clients have

paid and what they still owe. It also produces

very professional looking bills and statements.

If any of you are “number phobic” (as I am),

please don’t stop reading, because if I could deal

with this stuff – anyone can.

First off, I have always collected whatever I am

owed by the client at the time of our session. I

only print out bills for people who need to send

them into insurance companies for reimburse-

ment. For this reason, it is important to know

the individual’s deductible and copay by the

first session. You can usually find this out on-

line. For instance, I am a Blue Cross Blue

Shield provider and they have a user-friendly

website on which I just enter the member infor-

mation from my client and can determine

whether his or her deductible has been met and

how much a copay he owes for a session. If that

information is not available on-line, you can call

the number for Providers on the member’s in-

surance card. Most insurance companies give a

provider at least 3 working days from when the

member “is seen” in which to pre-certify. To this

end, you might want to develop an Intake Sheet

that the client fills out asking: Name, Address,

Birthday, Phone Numbers, Insurance infor-

mation etc. Also, always make a copy of the cli-

ent’s card. Believe it or not, it used to be worse

when I had to spend all day on hold with insur-

ance companies – the internet has actually sped

things up. I do employ a part-time bookkeeper

(whose feet I kiss regularly), to bring out the big

guns and chase down owed money or sit on the

phone with insurance agencies when necessary.

My experience with insurance companies has

been that some can be confusing to navigate,

especially as a beginner. Once you are in their

system the reimbursement process runs smooth-

ly with continued attention to the particular pro-

vider’s requirements. There are clearly delineated

service codes that reflect the particular service a

therapist provides, e.g. individual therapy, family

therapy, group therapy. Adherence to this simple

process makes a world of difference. Additionally,

careful diagnostics and treatment planning are a

boon to the private practice social worker.

My friend and colleague Peggy Sudol practices

alongside me at The Life Guidance Center and we

compare notes about new requirements and chang-

es from insurance companies. We also share a

bookkeeper who stays informed of such changes, as

well as keeping track of when authorizations have

expired and when re-credentialing comes due. It

helps to be part of a knowledgeable and supportive

team, even if you are a sole practitioner – you

might consider meeting weekly with other counse-

lors to compare notes. When I first began private

practice, I was uncomfortable speaking directly to

my clients about money, but I learned that alt-

hough we help people, this is still a business and

we must also put food on the table for our own

families. People understand this, and it gets easier

with time.


We love your stories!
