Jeffrey Stevens, PMHNP-BC – Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner

Jeffrey’s thrilled to join the Atracare team and give back to his home state as a board certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. He attended the University of Delaware, obtaining a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Psychology with a pre-med concentration. Having discovered a newfound admiration for the nursing profession, Jeffrey also obtained an accelerated Bachelor of Science Degree in Nursing from Radford University Carillion. While continuing to work as a registered nurse and as a travel nurse, he acquired a Master of Science in Nursing Degree from Samford University’s (Sam, not Stan!) Master of Science in Nursing (M.S.N) Family and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner program.

Though he can provide care across the lifespan, Jeffrey has always had a passion for psychology and a desire to provide individualized, compassionate care for those with mental health disorders. As a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, he believes in providing quality, evidence-based, patient-centered care.

Born and raised in Sussex County, Delaware, Jeffrey loves living a coastal life in Rehoboth Beach. In his free time, he enjoys attending book conventions with his author wife as her favorite assistant and being a dog dad to his 62 lb mutt. As a self-proclaimed gaming enthusiast, he loves gaming in all its forms—video, board, table-top, and trading card. As he patiently awaits the next installment in the A Song of Ice and Fire series, he spends whatever extra free time he has going to the movies.

Atracare & The Medical Society of Delaware: Fighting for Prior Authorization Reform

Have you ever been frustrated waiting for an insurance company to approve a procedure, surgery, or even a prescription? You’re not alone — and Atracare is taking an active role in helping change that.

In a recent Public Service Announcement, Atracare’s own Will Albanese highlights an important patient advocacy effort happening right now in Delaware. The Medical Society of Delaware is working to reform the prior authorization process, which often delays care while insurance companies decide whether to approve medically necessary treatments.

These unnecessary delays can stretch from days to weeks, creating unnecessary stress and sometimes preventing timely care altogether. That’s why new legislation, supported by the Medical Society of Delaware, is so important. The proposed bill would require insurance companies to respond to prior authorization requests within hours, not days, helping patients get the care and medications they need without frustrating hold-ups.

Federal cuts expected to hit Sussex healthcare hard

Some local healthcare leaders say cuts in President Donald Trump’s “Big, Beautiful Bill” could hit especially hard in Sussex County, where a physician shortage and a rapidly growing senior population already make it difficult for many to get care.
