Private Practice Prep: WA Insurance Changes 2026 (Live Q&A)

If you’re running, part of, or starting a practice in Washington, 2026 insurance shifts will change how clients use benefits and how you get paid. This briefing will help you feel prepared, not blindsided.

This session is part of our partnership with Therapy Practice Builders, a Washington community for sharing resources to help you build a smoother, stronger private practice.

We’ll touch on Medicaid reimbursement increases, Cascade Select’s capped rates and growing enrollment, tighter parity enforcement, high-deductible plans, and what’s likely to stick with telehealth. We’ll also look at workforce strain—and how hybrid care can help keep things sustainable.

You’ll walk away with practical tools and takeaways, including:

• A one-page prep checklist for 2026
• Three practical tweaks for pricing, scheduling, and payer mix
• Conversation scripts for high-deductible clients
• A short watch list of items to confirm with your top payers
• Simple ways automation can save you hours each week

We’ll wrap with 10–15 minutes of Q&A so you can ask what’s on your mind—or just listen in.
