Staff writer, Mental Health & Insurance

Andre Castellanos

Andre spent three years helping friends and family navigate insurance paperwork after a rough stretch of his own, and ended up becoming the person people call before they call their insurer. He writes about the unglamorous logistics of getting care, sliding-scale clinics, telehealth, appeal letters, because that's the part most mental health coverage skips. He keeps a folder of real plan documents he's picked apart over the years.
