Postpartum Depression: You Are Not Alone

Dr. Alexandra Cox PA-C of Atracare Health discusses the hormonal and physical changes that go hand in hand with Postpartum Depression. If you are experiencing Postpartum Depression, you are not alone!

Pregnancy is the biggest thing a woman’s body can go through. So many changes occur during after pregnancy, and hormonal shifts can sometimes lead to postpartum depression. When you are pregnant, your estrogen levels are very high. After you give birth, the levels drop. When hormone levels dip too quickly, you may experience symptoms of depression. After you give birth, it’s important to stay in tune with your body and your feelings. If your symptoms persist past two weeks, you should see a healthcare professional and get screened for postpartum depression.

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.
